Just wanted to share this site for those interested. I know adding in 'extra' modalities is a hot topic and I came across this today.

mskcc.org/cancer-care/diagn...

I didn't know how useful it was but I thought I would look up one I had heard of. Quercetin. It mentioned some possible negative effect with ER+. It also suggests drugs which may have interactions.

In the spirit of doing research. this could be a useful resource. Especially off the back of the recent post regarding the woman who was reversing her disease with supplements.

It at the very least seems to combine a number of useful bits of info in one place.

Thanks very much for this. Quercetin seems to be included in multivitamins. Hope the dosage is small enough not to cause any problems. I’m not taking any multivitamins now but I used to.

Just to let you know this is also an app you can download on your phone if you want it handy - It's called "About Herbs" and is the Memorial Sloan Kettering app.
