Colon Cancer?
My brother-in-law has just been diagnosed with colon cancer. Apparently it’s already spread to his liver and lungs. He also has some cysts formed on his kidneys and pancreas. They’ve told him it’s terminal and he has about 3 years to live. The man is only 41! He has 4 young girls, the youngest being 3. He hasn’t started any treatment yet, but they’re going to do a colonscopy, and will remove the colon, then he’ll start chemo. My question: Is there anything out there that could possibly fix the damage done? Any sort of herbal remedies he could try before the doctors start their treatment? What about life insurance? Does anyone know of a company that will cover him? Has anyone recovered from this illness personally? If so, how? We refuse to let him die without first trying every available resource possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Soy Estrogens- Are they a Protection Against Breast Cancer?
The Chinese say that breast cancer is a rich woman’s disease and indeed there is a very small incidence of it in China and Japan. Families in both countries eat a diet rich in soybeans and tofu. The health benefits of soy are in isoflavones which are a class of plant estrogen found in a high concentration in soy. In particular genistein occurs in soy products such as tofu, soy protein isolates, soy flour and some estrogen dietary supplements.

Diabetes, Estrogen and Breast Cancer
Estrogen regulates the growth of the mammary glands, and it function is mediated by receptors that allow certain to absorb estrogen. The relationship between steroid hormones and postmenopausal women has been assessed in at least fourteen studies over the last twenty years, and most of them have provided strong evidence between estrogen and cancer. This link is harder to assess in premenopausal women because of the fluctuating levels of estrogen in their system because they are still having periods. Further medical research is now investigating the role of insulin resistance on estrogen.

What Does Diindolyimethane or Dim Do about Estrogen dominance?
DIM and Estrogen dominance
Diindolyimethane does not actually reduce the amount of estrogen in out bodies but it does change the way our bodies’ method of expelling estrogen. It creates less bad 16-hyroxy metabolites and more good estrogen 2-hydroxy metabolites, which in itself helps to regulate estrogen dominance.
