Then for two weeks in mm they ate a diet rich in soy flour (one and a half ounces a day), red clover sprouts or flaxseed (about one ounce a day). All of these have produced estrogen activity in animals. Both soy flour and flaxseed did raise estrogen levels and activity. According to Dr. Wahlqvist, a sensitive indicator of estrogenic activity is vaginal cell maturation. Vaginal smears revealed significantly increased estrogenic activity in the women eating soy and flaxseed. A couple of weeks after the women went off their special diets, their cell measurements returned to normal.

They also are found in kudzu and red clover, plants that are edible but seldom used as foods. Tables LI and 1.2 indicate the amount of isoflavones found in a variety of foods. Isoflavones have the power to inhibit cancer growth in a number of ways. The isoflavone genistein has been noted to inhibit angiogenesis, the birth of new blood vessels.

Researchers then determined the maturity of their vaginal cells and found that the cells matured significantly after supplementation with soy flour and flaxseed but not after supplementation with the red clover seed sprouts.

Herbs which are cooling, spicy and bitter, such as red clover, peppermint and chrysanthemum, help keep the body's temperature down. The bitter taste strengthens the Heart and Small Intestines, the organs attributed to Summer. These in turn nourish the blood. The cooling and drying qualities of bitter help by eliminating excess fluid and cholesterol from the blood. Spicy herbs, such as chillies and curries, open the pores and create perspiration to cool the body off. That is why people living in southern climates eat spicy food—it is ultimately cooling although it tastes hot.

There are also herbs such as red clover and black cohosh. There's one thing to keep in mind, however. Almost all of the studies on breast cancer-preventing agents have been done on foods, not supplements, says naturopathic doctor Tori Hudson, N.D., professor at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and author of Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine.

Another version of the formula, marketed as Flor-Essence, adds four more herbs: blessed thistle, kelp, red clover, and watercress. Both manufacturers claim to manufacture the authentic Caisse formula, but Rene Caisse never authenticated either formula before her death at the age of ninety in 1978.

Burdock root increases the rate at which estrogen is excreted into the stool, and red clover blocks estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. Taken together, these findings support—but do not prove—the use of Essiac as a treatment to make standard chemotherapy more effective. Essiac is available at almost every health-food outlet and can be brewed at home for about five cents a day. The tea has a mild and pleasant taste, and there are no reports of side effects (although injecting Essiac can be fatal).

Although there have been many variations of his formula, the Hoxsey combination most commonly used today contains barberry, burdock, casara sagrada, licorice, poke-weed, red clover, and stillingia. Hoxsey formula is under long-term study by the University of Texas School of Public Health. Unpublished results report that users of the formula include long-term survivors of advanced lung cancer, and a level-5 melanoma patient, a patient with recurrent bladder cancer, and a patient with labial (lip) cancer, all of whom went into remission.

In laboratory tests, red clover blocks estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. There are no known cases of toxic side effects from using Hoxsey Formula. Neither are there any chronic health conditions that are likely to be worsened by using the formula in the dosage recommended by its packagers and manufacturers. Hoxsey Formula is not, however, a substitute for medically supervised cancer treatment.

LI Burdock root, dandelion, and red clover aid in cleansing the blood, reducing the stress on the liver. LI Take 30 milligrams of zinc and 3,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily. Low zinc levels are associated with an increased risk of cirrhosis and with a reduced capacity for breaking down alcohol. Zinc, particularly if combined with vitamin C, greatly increases alcohol detoxification and survival in animal studies. LI Use bovine (cow) colostrum supplements to slow the progress of cirrhosis. All mammals (including humans) produce colostrum.

Take the use of aged-garlic extract, plant chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals, organic vegetables, wholesome grains, and red clover. All may be effectively incorporated into animal and human diets with good results. It is doubtful, though, that someone suffering from AIDS could relish, much less choke down, liver paste or catnip tea, which a cat infected with FeLV would most likely find quite palatable.
