Home baked bread? Use fermented wheatgerm

[LouisaMay]

Hi All,

If anyone has the time and inclination to make some bread it may be worth adding fermented wheatgerm to the mix as in the recipe below:

denvernaturopathic.com/pool...

I have come across a product called 'Avemar' which is fermented wheatgerm. It has been shown to have numerous beneficial effects to cancer sufferers as this article, among others, shows:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

However, Avemar is ridiculously, prohibitively expensive. Perhaps eating bread containing fermented wheatgerm may have a similar effect? I have made it once and I admit my result is a bit on the heavy side but I will persevere. I love the flavour but will put less salt in next time. One batch will last me about a week. Since I started eating it a few days ago, my metabolism seems to have gone through the roof, I'm buzzin'! So hopefully it is doing something good. In any event, as with the fenbendazole that I also take along side my conventional meds, there is nothing to lose! Good luck everybody and have a good day. xxx

Thanks for the information. How are you doing on Fenbendazole? How long have you been on it?

Hi,

I've been on it since 9th August, 3 x 1g sachet per week with olive oil.

No discernible side effects and too soon to tell if it's doing any good. I'm not due a scan till March/April next year so we'll see. It's nice to have hope though, it has a good effect on my days! I also take a baby aspirin, a good probiotic, fish oil capsules and loratadine (for a couple of months only as I have read it can have a bad effect on the brain if taken long term) alongside my Ibrance, letrozole and denosumab. I don't currently take the other elements of Joe Tippens' protocol (curcurmin, vitamin E and CBD oil) but will probably do so if the fenben alone doesn't do the job!

How's it going for you?

Hi Sandra, wow, thanks for that. It is so difficult to know what to believe when you can read so many conflicting articles on the internet. It's a mixed blessing sometimes! Anyhow, that's the first mention I have found of wheatgerm having estrogen receptor activity. This says the complete opposite:

'FWGE on its own significantly inhibited the growth of both estrogenic receptor positive (ER+) and estrogenic receptor negative (ER-) breast tumors. When applied in combination with endocrine drugs (tamoxifen, exemestane and anastrozol) for the treatment of ER+ breast cancers, FWGE systematically increased the efficacy of the drugs (Marcsek Z, et al. (2004): The efficacy of tamoxifen in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells is enhanced by a medical nutriment. C ancer Biother Radiopharm. 19:746-53; T ejeda M, et al. (2007): Avemar inhibits the growth of mouse and human xenograft mammary carcinomas comparable to endocrine treatments. J Clin Oncol. 25(18S):21 132) and, therefore the inclusion of FWGE into the treatment protocols of both ER+ and ER- breast cancers can be recommended.'

It was from this site:

I am not saying which is right or wrong, I have no idea! As so often on this journey we have to follow our instinct sometimes.

I hadn't thought of mentioning it to my oncologist as it is a food rather than a supplement. (You buy the wheatgerm, ferment it with baker's yeast for 24 hours and then incorporate in your loaf). And I know from disappointing experience he has neither interest nor expertise in nutrition. However, I will bring it up at our next meeting. In the meantime, I'm planning to continue with the bread - it tastes good and it makes me feel good.

Best wishes, Angela

Good plan, I'll do that xxx
