Thank you so much for this information. I have estrogen induced breast cancer(cured) but do not want to take tamoxifen. I want to decrease estrogen more naturally. I will be having a hysterectomy to take out my ovaries. I am 66
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous-
ReplyDeleteI had severe bleeding issues caused by too much estrogen. After hearing I needed surgery and bleeding for over 70 days, I read that estrogen can be reduced and symptoms can be reduced by changing your diet and losing weight. After only 3 days of eating only foods that inhibit estrogen, the bleeding completely stopped. The lining of my uterus also thinned and I have no more estrogen dominance problems. I hope you try to eat foods that can effect your estrogen level before getting surgery--you might save yourself so much trouble, and feel great!! Good luck!
i have small breasts and ive over heard estrogen is good to get bigger breasts.. if I start eating foods with estrogen could i be in risk of getting breast cancer or something bad?
