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.
