A new study has shown that the role of flax lignans as a treatment for breast cancer offers promising hope. Canadian scientists, following up on previous studies conducted in mice, enrolled woman newly diagnosed with breast cancer as volunteers to study the effect of flaxseed on the progression of breast cancer.
The pre-lignans found in flax seeds convert in the intestines by bacteria into powerful anti-cancer lignans that actually killed breast cancer cells. Grouppe Kurosawa, an organization dedicated to developing treatment protocols for acute and chronic diseases using only natural medicines has compiled the information on lignans and cancer at www.grouppekurosawa.com/nutrition.htm
We can add this regimen for patients unwilling or unable to undergo standard breast cancer treatments. We have many patients who have had breast cancer. Some have undergone the accepted treatments including radiation, chemotherapy or surgery.
Secondary prevention is a crucial factor in continued treatment for these women. Tamoxifen and similar drugs are usually prescribed. When these women either finish their Tamoxifen regimen, stop it because of serious side effects, or refuse to take it, they want other options.
Our typical supplement program for these women includes:
- Multi Nutrients V- 2 capsules two times daily with food
- COQ10- 100 mg daily with food
- Green Tea Extract 80% 275mg- 1 cap two times daily between meals
- Curcumin Extract 80-90% 500mg with Bioperine, 1 capsule two times daily, and
- Melatonin 10mg each evening.
