Has anyone used alternative treatments such as Lorriane Day, Chris Beat Cancer, The Hallelujah Diet and skipped the cookie cutter 6 weeks of radiation and five years of Tamoifen? I am so confused , even the 2011 cancer book that the radaition department gave me in my red folder states that radiation can cause a second cancer, that they are working on improving these satatics. I read the whole book cover to cover and was just blown away by what they are admitting of these chemicals. Anyway, would like to know if anyone else is swinging on this bridge? Thanks

I agreed with allison M as I has used alternative treatment like Essiac to support my immune system which is helpful instead of expensive medicines.

Essiactea,
Are you being (or have you been) treated for BC or are you just using Essaic tea for prevention? There's a huge difference and you should definitely clarify on a breast cancer site.

Isn't essiac tea estrogenic? If so, not good for those of us who are ER+.

tripple ouch. was it intravenous? have to look again, but I don't do that either after 7 years of heroin, no thanks. opiates by the way, the way most allopathy kill their patients, are regurgetants, that;s oksy, opens the bile ducts (& decalcifies the teeth), but it also constapates, & that as well as the lungs shutting down kills fast.

Essiac tea is estrogenic. I returned what I had bought (unopened). The guy refunded my money but also enclosed a note saying "Whoever gave you this information was not correct. Women have been using Essiac for over 90 years with no side effecs as it is safe - natural - with no side effects and has been approved in writing by the FDA for over 11 years." Printed on the paper is something from July 2001, saying "Phytoestrogens are estrogen-like chemicals found in plant foods such as beans, seeds, and grains. Foods made from soybeans have some of the highest levels of phytoestrogens and have been studied the most. In spite of initial optimism, it is not clear whether eating foods rich in phytoesgrogens decreases breast cancer risk."
Clearly, this man does not have ER+ breast cancer. LOL. I don't know if phytoestrogens are dangerous or not. However, my sense of the matter has me leaning AWAY from them for safety.
I think Essiac may be good for some cancers, but NOT breast cancer, particularly ER+.
