Go to AMazon and look up SuperSmart Anti-Aromatase Inhibitor which has multiple AI's (written in French so I had to look them all up) in addition, Turkey Tail mushroom (PSK is the active ingredient which is prescribed in Japan and they have a 4% lower mortality rate from cancer than the US does. White button mushrooms. Green Tea Extract and Stinging Nettle Tea which is a natural AI.

Then the dietary changes: Alkalyne water and alkalyne foods as opposed to acidic (starving cancer). Moving to raw, plant based diet (avoiding red meat that often has hormones in it). Meditation, relaxation and diet changes as well as melatonin which is specifically an aromatase inhibitor for hormone positive BC, and Vitamin D3 which helps synthesize and boost. D3 appears to be a big factor as both my regular Medical Oncologist and my Naturopathic Oncologist recommended.

I think I'll be the guinea pig here and I'll let you all know if my estradiol levels drop after I have taken all of this for awhile. I'm a data driven person so although there are no big AI trials for these natural products, I still think stacking them up will add maximum impact for those AI's and we'll just have to see if I'm right!

I replied on another thread that there are ways to improve tolerance of an AI. Try a different manufacturer or brand name, or switch to another AI. Take every other day or take a half dose (the Femara insert says a 20% dose is effective).

I don't understand the suggestion for a natural approach. Side effects of AI's are from estrogen suppression. If the natural approach works, you would get the same side effects. If you don't get the same side effects from estrogen deprivation, then I would think the natural approach is not working.
