Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

Well I just came up with a thorough list, with citations and documents which I uploaded here:
Yes and you will see two key things: A whole host of supplements that are natural AI's and an entirely new diet meant to starve cancer by creating an environment in the body where cancer cannot survive. An alkaline Diet as opposed to an acidic diet, primary whole raw vegetables and alkaline reverse osmosis water. My hope is that by stacking up all of the natural AI's together, as my naturopathic MD has done, that will give a better aromatase inhibition than taking nothing since I cannot tolerate the AI's. The list will have a few citations (sorry I'm slammed at work) and will contain all the natural AI's plus natural immune boosters and dietary changes.
SuperSmart Natural Anti Aromatase Support: The AI's in that supplement which is prescribed in France, and effective according to the French cancer mortality tables are: See the attached photo of the label for this product. It's in French so I'll break down what each thing is:
- Chrysin: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7063143/ , DIM https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5059820/ ,
- GrapeFruit Extract: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-86599-z Zinc,
- Vitamin D (which in low levels causes increased breast cancer risk) https://themenshealthclinic.co.uk/using-natural-products-to-control-oestrogen/ there are citations within this UK article,
- "liberal Green Tea and Stinging Nettle Tea" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3074486/,
- Flax Seed (cited in above link) and many more see the label attached. Then whole raw flax seeds ground up (aromatase inhibition) for the best quality.
- Melatonin for my type of breast cancer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2778514/#:~:text=Melatonin%20reduces%20the%20development%20of,inhibits%20aromatase%20activity%20and%20expression.
- Turkey Tail Mushroom, who's active ingredient (PSK) that is prescribed to every cancer patient in Japan and hey have 4% lower mortality from cancer than the US. The clinical trial was small but here it is: https://bastyr.edu/news/general-news/2012/11/fda-approves-bastyr-turkey-tail-trial-cancer-patients
- White button Mushrooms as AI's:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16740737/ I know there is a clinical trial but this article is just affirming what the prior trials showed. Grape Seed Extract: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16740737/

Hi Kate,
Thank you for posting citations as members were querying about. You will be able to add URLs to your posts in a few days. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers and keep the community safe. I have added your citations, URLs and explanations to your post above.
PS: In my research I had to look at body builder forums on Reddit and other forums to acquire the information on different natural AI's. So odd, but true that Body Builders want to lower their estrogen to increase testosterone so they are clamorous of any news of accessible AI's...or are trying to find the prescription AI's...which is probably a black market thing. But that's where I found the most available listings of different natural AI's to then research and see if they truly were AI's and if they had been trialed.
Obviously, something growing naturally, is not going to get big money behind a trial as it's already available to all if they know what they are looking for!
OMG !!! You’re an ANGEL !!!! You’re so busy at work and still managed to share !!!!! Thank you !! Sooooooooo Super Much !!!! Blessings and Radiant Health to you !! I love all this info !!!!
For those who cannot tolerate an aromatase inhibitor, have your tried a different manufacturer,, or a brand name version? I could not tolerate Arimidex or generic Femara but could tolerate brand name Femara. I later found a generic I could tolerate- different manufacturer.
Another approach would be alternate days, or a half dose each day. The Femara insert actually says that a 20% dose works.
I don't understand how natural inhibitors would be any better in terms of side effects. I mean, if they work, then they are also suppressing estrogen and you would expect the same side effects from no to low estrogen levels, right? If there are no such side effects, then I would think they are not working.
