[cancercured] Re: Breast Cancer & Budwig Plan /was: CC/FO vs PCa

Dear Sandra,

Thank you for your informative post. I was interested in what Melissa wrote below. Is it that the flaxseed prevents the "unopposed" estrogen from increasing the tumor size. Is that what "strong" estrogen means?

Also, I wonder if you think it would have a similar effect in a person who was cancer-free -- that is preventing the unopposed estrogen from damaging the DNA?

Thank you,

Marti
