Description

This section outlines the Foods and Herbs used in the treatment or prevention of Breast Cancer.

Algae

 Chlorella may prolong survival times in Breast Cancer patients (by boosting the Immune System’s response to Breast Cancer but not by directly killing Cancer cells). 

 Dunaliella may retard the progression of Breast Cancer (due to its Beta-Carotene and other constituents).  ^[1]

 Kelp (Laminaria species) may help to prevent Breast Cancer (due to its content of Fucoidan).  ^[2]

Animal-Derived Supplements

 Bovine Cartilage (9 grams per day) may cause the regression or total remission of some cases of Breast Cancer. 

 Shark Cartilage may cause the regression or total remission of some cases of Breast Cancer (by inhibiting the formation of new Blood Vessels that "feed" breast tumors): 

 Caution:  The use of Shark Cartilage for the treatment of Cancer is controversial.  Some clearly unbiased natural medicine researchers have concluded that Shark Cartilage is ineffective for the treatment of Cancer and a recent clinical trial adds support to this counter-argument.  ^[5]
