Breast Cancer Red Clover treatment

Sadly my friend has breast cancer. She not responding to treatment to well. So I been doing a search on alterative treatments  and found this on The isoflavones from red clover mimic the sex hormnes estrogen, and Breast Cancer is Estrogen dependent, with out  Estrogen the Breast Cancer dies  The Isoflavones from Red clover mimic Estrogen. When it gets to the receptor on the breast cancer, it blocks it by taking the extrogen place. with out estrogen  the tumor will then srink and die.

Below is only  part of the artical on red clover from the Natural news Site

 The isoflavones from red clover are water soluble compounds with a molecular structure close to that of estrogen. This structure allows isoflavones to mimic the actions of estrogen in the body by fitting into estrogen receptors.

Red clover has a history of use for cancer treatment due to its ability to stimulate the immune system. Other recent research has found evidence that it may prevent the growth of cancer cells or kill cancer cells in test tubes. It is often use in alternative cancer treatment for cancer of the breast and other hormone related cancers. Since it is able to fit into estrogen receptors it can block some of the action of more potent estrogens that often exist in the body of women with breast cancer. These more potent estrogens are the result of hormonal imbalance resulting from the body's continuing production of estrogen after progesterone and testosterone levels have declined.

Earlier studies have also suggested that red clover isoflavones can slow bone loss and boost bone mineral density in pre and perimenopausal women.

Red clover may protect against heart disease through its ability to increase HDL cholesterol in pre and postmenopausal women. One study found that menopausal women who took red clover supplements had more flexible and stronger arteries. Red clover may have blood thinning properties that help prevent blood clots.

Not all breast cancer is estrogen based.  My sister has triple negative breast cancer, which means negative for estrogen, progesterone and HER2.  It is more difficult to treat and the hormone blocking treatments have no effect.  Make sure you get the pathology report to be sure what type breast cancer she has. 

When my sister had bc in 2002, I do not remember any talk of her cancer being triple negative or aggressive, but I did not read her pathology report then.

betty 45 Im fighting advance prostate cancer and my psa coming down with the the  holistic treatments I’m on. The problem with her cancer it is a breast cancer that is estrogen based. And it will respond to hormone therapy. But she wont do any thing about it.  she already had a full mastectomy on both breast after that  she went on to have  chemo and radiation treatment the doctors have since told her there’s nothing  more can be done for her.   she is so depress she wont even try the holistic treatments that I told her about that I know will help her. as I know the red clover in it worked on mine  it should work as we have the same type of cancer she has  adenocarcinoma.  It as if she been though hell and now she just wants to die to find peace. I just don’t know what to do

Ray,

Have you let the drs know of her depression?  Many women who have breast cancer also suffer from clinical depression which can be caused by hormonal changes due to treatment.  It is treatable.  Once she feels better mentally, she may have the energy to do what she needs to do to live.  It is important for you with your own cancer situation to understand that you can't control anyone else.  We can love them but ultimately they make the decisions.  Sounds like you are doing great.  I also recommend that you find a support group in the area for yourself.  You can get support for yourself while getting tips for her.  You may be able to get her to go along with you.

Good luck.

Roseann
