I had genetic testing done and received
my results in November 2005 which were negative. Therefore, no family
history and no genetic mutation and I still got breast cancer.

Women, Cancer and Vegetable Powder
Health Alert, October 2008,
Volume 25, Issue 10
Most women know that too much estrogen is related to higher
risks of breast and uterine cancer. That is why the breast cancer
rates fell dramatically for the first time in history when women
stopped taking their doctor prescribed estrogen. But what if your own
body makes too much estrogen?
Normally your organs of detoxification (kidneys, liver, etc) eliminate
excess estrogen. That is one reason why detoxification or
purification, which enhances the way your body detoxifies, is
important, especially in cancer cases or for those prone to cancer.
The liver and other organs of detoxification use phytochemicals from
vegetables (especially whole cruciferous, brassica vegetables such as
brussels sprouts and kale) to enhance liver detoxification.
A
recent study clearly showed that consuming a special dried vegetable
powder made up of organic Brussels sprouts and kale significantly
increased the detoxification and excretion of excess estrogen.
Estrogen excretion was measured by what is known as its best
marker-the 2/16 hydroxyestrogen ratio. And this is
important for premenopausal women who have breast problems, breast
cancer in the family, or who already had a breast or uterine cancer.
This
study was done by the Metametrix Institute on a vegetable powder,
Cruciferous Complete, grown and processed by Standard Process.
Metametrix does not sell this product and is therefore unbiased.
Almost all subjects showed increased rates of excess estrogen
excretion while consuming 3.6 grams of Cruciferous Complete daily.
Those with the highest excess estrogen showed the greatest increases
in detoxification-averaging 500% (or 5x) greater than normal.
So
if you are a premenopausal woman with any of the breast or uterine
cancer markers, you can now lower your excess estrogen risk easily,
safely, and without drugs. Simply take 6 Cruciferous Complete
capsules daily for 4 months, followed by 3 daily thereafter until
menopause. This study confirms all our previous hypotheses and
protocols (such as our Purification Program). It is now a fact that
using cruciferous vegetables for detoxification and to lower cancer
risk works. It also provides women with proof that they can use
cruciferous brassica vegetable powder (Cruciferous Complete) to help
them prevent estrogen-induced cancers.
As
Always-The Whole Plant Is Best
There are all kinds of fractionated cruciferous supplements on the
market. But this study clearly showed that the entire plant
supplement worked best. The authors concluded that “single compound
extracts (fractions) may lose effectiveness through the lack of
potential benefits from the entire range of natural compounds found in
whole crucifers (vegetables).” They also concluded that super-high
doses of fractionated products from vegetables often fail to get into
the body and convert to the disease-fighting molecules needed.
In
fact, just as reported in Health Alert, the study showed that
the whole food product produced responses 100 times greater than much
higher doses of fractionated products. This proves once again that
whole food phytonutrient complexes are much more effective in
absorption and conversion into needed disease-fighting molecules. And
they actually produce the measurable results we are after.
This
whole study came as a slight surprise to me. I always use cruciferous
vegetables to aid in detoxification, but have not emphasized
Cruciferous Complete for women with estrogen-related cancers. I have
used this product (3-4 daily) for its other beneficial compounds (flavonoids
and hydroxycinnamic acids) to help people with macular degeneration.
Based on my macular degeneration study, we now know that improvements
in macular degeneration perhaps also come from improved
detoxification, and not just the effects of increased levels of
flavonoids, etc. on the eyes.
Either way, this product serves as an anti-macular degeneration
product as well as an anti-estrogen product for premenopausal women at
risk for breast or uterine cancer. Let’s hear it for two vegetables
that most people do not like to eat. And for phytonutrient products,
organically grown and processed without heat or chemicals to maintain
the life force of the plants.
