Hi @veb123

Memorial Sloan Kettering has a data base that gives information on the safety of herbs and supplements as it relates to oncology.

Yes. I reviewed it but many papers with contradictory conclusions. Last paper 11/2023 advises caution for er+ cancer. Previous papers encourage its use fir er+ cancer- very confusing.. It was very beneficial all these years for my DJD.
