Video Transcript: The Safest Estrogen Foods for Reducing Breast Cancer Risk
Ty Bollinger: Talk about estrogens in food. Soy has what is called phytoestrogens, right?
Dr. Desaulniers: Right?
Ty Bollinger: Talk about plant estrogens.
Dr. Desaulniers: Okay. Food has been around since we’ve been around. Plant estrogens do not act like aggressive estrogens. They are very protective. They protect against DNA damage, they block the estrogen receptor sites. They actually reduce the level of circulating estrogens in the body.
Flax, for example – a study that I like to quote – there was a study done at the University of Toronto where they took women who were getting ready to have surgery, they measured their cancer markers and their tumor levels, and for a month they gave them five teaspoons of ground flax seed in a muffin, which probably was made with white flour and sugar, but, anyway, the ground flax seed was in there.
And in 30 days their markers went down by 30 to 71%, just with ground flax seed. Fermented soy—if you use non-GMO, organic, whole fermented soy, it has a very protective effect. It turns on the p53 suppressor gene, it reduces the circulating estrogens. It is a protective food. Look at the Asian society. They have used soy in their diet for thousands of years and their breast cancer rates are much lower.
Ty Bollinger: But the keys are that it is non-GMO and fermented.
Dr. Desaulniers: Absolutely.
Ty Bollinger: It is interesting, isn’t it, that we have to say non-GMO. Soy, by nature; corn, by nature; cottonseed, by nature –all of these things that are genetically modified – they are actually not GMO by nature, right?
Dr. Desaulniers: Correct.
Ty Bollinger: And so when you genetically modify them, they’re not really any longer that substance anymore.
Dr. Desaulniers: The real food.
Ty Bollinger: They’re something else.
Dr. Desaulniers: They’re frankenfoods. They’re foreign foods so your body doesn’t recognize what they are.
Dear Doctor,

Speaking of estrogen…what are your thoughts on taking Progesterone in addition to Estrogen after having a total hysterectomy at age 33? There are so many mixed research studies and different doctors are telling me different things. Its extremely frustrating to know who to trust. Thank you.
Yes, please tell us. I hear so many different things, too.
If you take progesterone, make sure it is bioidentical progesterone. It is so much safer. It comes in a cream you just put on a thin area of your skin such as the underside of your wrist or inside of your lower arm.
I would love to hear the answer to this as well

I want to take and give to my husband soy lecithin. Can someone please let me know if there is organic soy lecithin granules available somewhere? I checked out the non-gmo but most of those were produced using hexane and other chemicals. Even though they tell me that most of that is removed, I don’t trust it. I tried the sunflower lecithin powder but that was so-so. Andrew Saul talks about the soy lecithin being very beneficial and I totally believe in him.

May I ask what non-GMO, organic, whole fermented soy product you recommend?
What about organic/pastured dairy?
Would it be considered a safe estrogenic food as well?

Hi Charles,
The best advice we can give you is to consult with one of the doctors/experts that we interviewed in our Global Quest Series. Here is a link to get their information: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/experts-info-sheet/
Wishing you and your wife all the best on this healing journey.
I had breaths cance and was told not to eat any soy products
Does a soy product need to be organic, non-GMO AND fermented? Or is organic non-GMO okay?
This is very good information! I am on Letrozole for 3 more years. I have been going through menopause and cannot be on any hormone therapy because I was HR+/HER2+. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 I was told my estrogen level was very high which caused my Inflammatory breast cancer, so I’ve had to find alternative supplement to help me with the effects of menopause ( ie mood swings etc.) It’s good to hear more about flaxseed!! Do you have any other suggestions?
I am curious to know what markers were studied? I am a breast cancer survivor and my understanding was the markers look for/indicate matasticized cancer…not primary tumors.
februari 2013 werd bij mij borstkanker geconstateerd. Her2 neu:++
Met grote tegenzin heb ik chemo ondergaan. Had de moed niet om er nee tegen te zeggen. Daarna 30 bestralingen, vervolgens Herceptine een jaar lang, en toen 2 maanden tamoxifan. Daar mee gestopt.
Ben op zoek gegaan naar een orthomoleculaire arts. Ben terecht gekomen bij Body Switch. Zij werken met orthomoleculaire kennis en adviseren mij grondig: : meer bewegen, anders eten, raden bepaalde supplementen aan. Begeleiden mij daar waar nodig.
Ik herken de informatie van Dr, Desaulniers.
Ik ben nog steeds vrij van welke narigheid dan ook.
orthomoleculaire arts!! niet ortho. kunst
Sorry een verschrijving.
Waarom wordt het woord ARTS door jullie verandert in kunst?
