 Other foods that contain phytoestrogens include apples, barley, beets, cabbage, fennel, flaxseeds, oats, olives and olive oil, papaya, pumpkin, adzuki and kidney beans, red clover, rice, sesame seeds, split peas, sunflower seeds, and yams.
¦ If you suffer from hot flashes, increase your consumption of green vegetables and consider adding sea vegetables to your menu. The minerals in these foods replenish necessary electrolytes lost through perspiration.
¦ If you suffer from depression, scrutinize your diet to make certain that your blood-sugar level remains as constant as possible. |
| HERBAL TREATMENT
¦ Burdock root and red clover are high in many valuable trace minerals. These herbs help to detoxify the body and heal skin lesions. Take 500 milligrams of each three to four times daily for ten days.
¦ Echinacea and goldenseal help to clear infection, support the immune system, and soothe the skin and mucous membranes. Echinacea is a powerful antiviral. Take one dose of an echinacea and goldenseal combination formula supplying 500 milligrams of echinacea and 250 milligrams of goldenseal three to four times a day for up to ten days. |

 Other herbal solutions for avoiding breast cancer use echinacea, pau d'arco, sassafras, red clover, and burdock, which improve the immune system and purify the blood. Studies have also shown that extracts of mistletoe can be of use for immunity enhancement.
Detoxification
Activities that detoxify the body can further reduce the chance of acquiring breast cancer. For instance, aerobic exercise assists in lymphatic drainage and induces sweating, which is a natural way for the body to rid itself of waste products. |

| Week 3: red clover is a cleansing and blood-purifying herb useful in treating skin conditions. Take 500 milligrams or one cup of tea two to three times daily.
Week 4: Licorice is a natural anti-inflammatory. Take 250 milligrams of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) twice a day.
Note: Ordinary licorice can elevate blood pressure, and should not be taken on a daily basis for more than five days in a row. DGL should not have this effect, however.
¦ Balsam of Peru cream, available at health-food stores, can be useful against eczema. It can be applied to the skin alone, or diluted with oil. |
| Take a cup of plantain tea twice a day, three days per week, for two months.
¦ red clover aids in detoxifying a body burdened with excess pounds. Take 500 milligrams daily, one week out of every month, for up to three months.
¦ Red raspberry leaf tea reduces appetite, increases energy, and acts as a diuretic—and it tastes good. Take a cup twice a day, one week out of each month, for up to three months. Do not take it before bed, though; it may be too energizing.
¦ Siberian ginseng helps to stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings for sweets. It is also a natural energizer. |

 The high equol producers are likely to experience significantly greater oestrogenic effects from the consumption of soya or red clover.

| Oestrogenic isoflavones, which include genis-tein, daidzein and their glycosides, are mainly found in members of the Leguminosae (pea family) such as soya beans and red clover. Linseed (flaxseed) is the richest source of the oestrogenic lignans enterodiol and enterolactone, which are formed by bacterial action on the precursor secoisolariciresinol diglucoside, found in the seed.
Pharmacodynamics
Interest in the oestrogenic effects of plants first arose in the scientific world when clover disease was identified in Australia in the 1940s. |
| The principal isoflavones are the glycosides genistin and daidzin and their aglycones genistein and daidzein, from the soya plant, and the aglycones formononetin and biochanin A from red clover (Trifolium pratense) (see Fig. 2.10). Formononetin can be converted to daidzein which in turn can be metabolized to equol by bowel flora. This is a significant reaction pathway from a pharmacodynamic perspective, because equol has substantially more oestrogenic activity than its precursors. However, equol appears to be produced to different degrees in different people. Table 2. |
| A 66-year-old man took 160 mg of isoflavones from red clover daily for 1 week before radical prostatectomy for a moderately high-grade adenocarcinoma. The resected specimen showed prominent apoptosis, typical of response to high-dose oestrogen therapy and suggestive of tumour regression.283
Isoflavones, particularly genistein, exhibit anticancer potential which is independent of their hormonal effects and appear to inhibit several aspects of tumour cell growth regulation. |

| Antibiotic tests on red clover have shown it to possess activity against several bacteria, the most significant of which is the pathogen that causes tuberculosis (7).
CHAPARRAL and its properties are covered extensively in the chapters on ARTHRITIS, BONE-FLESH-CARTILAGE, and SKIN DISORDERS. Here, I will only discuss the research on the herb's possible role in curing cancer. |

 In addition to the herbs mentioned, teas and syrups, or even homemade cough drops, can be made from horehound, marshmallow, red clover, the dried inner bark of white pine, bark of wild cherry, and elecampane. See also Sore Throat.
Cough remedies should be used only when the cough is unproductive. If you're bringing something up, let it out!
Cystic Fibrosis
Therapy in cystic fibrosis (CF) should ideally be continuous and may be quite intensive, as children with this congenital disorder often have multiple problems and are highly susceptible to infection. |

| A blend of herbs consisting of red clover, burdock, and chaparral, known as the Hoxsey Combination, has been used since the 1930s as an anticancer formula. Follow the dosage directions on the product label.
¦ Milk thistle and dandelion are very effective liver detoxifiers and help to ease the side effects of strong treatments. Take 200 to 300 milligrams of milk thistle extract standardized to contain 80 percent flavonoids (silymarin) and/or 500 milligrams of dandelion-root extract three times daily for six weeks. Stop for one month, then repeat. |

 On the other hand, herbs such as red clover blossoms (Trifolium pratense) or echinacea (Echinacea species) can have vital components damaged or lost within minutes of harvesting if extreme care is not used.
This takes us back to one of my earlier points, the importance of possessing a reverence for nature as well as a respect for science. In the last century, the first scientific food processors gave us the gift of a new purified chemical: white sugar. We took the bait and ran with it, adding sugar to thousands of food products. |

| Lymphoma and skin cancer have responded well to treatment with this herbal formula, which contains red clover, buckthorn bark, stillingia root, barberry bark, chaparral, licorice root, cascara amarga, and prickly ash bark, along with potassium iodide.
Other anticancer herbs to consider include African cayenne, bilberry, blood-root, comfrey dandelion root, goldenseal, pau d'arco, and suma. Goldenseal should be taken for short periods of time, and not taken during pregnancy.

| Among the many useful herbs to break up blood stagnation are dang gui root, red peony root, red clover blossoms, carthamus flower, and raspberry leaf (as a tea). From the TCM perspective, due to Qi stagnation it is important to also use bupleurum root. If pain is severe, you can use Jamaican dogwood (Piscidia erythrina), or yan hu suo tuber (Corydalis yan-husuo). All of these herbs can either be used alone or in balanced combinations. |

The piezoelectric shock that occurs during exercise (as a result of compression) has long been thought to stimulate bone growth. It is a well-known fact that athletes and martial artists have stronger bones than less active people. Research has shown up to 20% more bone mineral content in the dominant arm of tennis players. We also know that long periods of bed rest will result in a loss of bone mass. Researchers are developing vibrating devices that will stimulate and help strengthen bones. |
