Most of the side effects I had were caused by the fillers they use in AIs. I did have a last ditch effort by trying pure aromatase, which I lasted much longer on. If your oncologist will prescribe them for you, they are much easier on the joints and almost all other effects. I still could not tolerate and ended up stopping and going on an all whole food plant based no oil diet and I have been doing much much better. I lost 70 pounds, (gained 30 on AIs) and I walk 1 to 2 miles every day. Never felt better in past 40 years!

What is “pure” aromatase and how is it obtained? Interested in looking into this. Thank you.

I was stage 1B in right breast with small metastasis in lymph nodes. I’ve been on Anastrozole for 2 years now and have adjusted somewhat to the side effects. Fatigue has been the toughest to deal with.

I started the Dr Livingood lifestyle by watching his videos on YouTube (search Dr Livingood videos). Within a few months of reading his book and eating clean foods, I have gotten rid of over 10 medications, lowered cholesterol, joint pain, GI issues and have lost 30 lbs. No more pain meds or fibromyalgia meds!

I knew I had to cut sugar & carbs, with breast cancer. His “Living Good Daily”book and monthly challenges gave me the tools and the support group to do that, and more!

Two years cancer free, PTL! Mammogram each year & bone density every 2 years.
