Herbs

@Joannie - interesting isn’t it. My boss is low in vitamin D and was a little freaked out but she has regular checks as her mum passed away from breast cancer.

@Eastmum. I have been hearing a lot lately that I’d u aren’t deficient in something or don’t need it for any specific benefit then u r wasting your money as u should be getting everything from your diet. I just take vitamin D as I was low in it (and my oncologist said they think there is a link between low vitamin D and breast cancer), aged garlic tablets for my heart and blood pressure and fish oil for my arthritis. 

My oncologist gave me a big thumbs up for that app today. I showed him the post and he said - yep, that’s great. You can definitely use that. 

Then he gave a looooonnnngggg talk about how I can take any supplement I want but the lack of real clinical trials for any supplement means that no-one really knows how effectIve they are for anything and the only two things that have been 100% proven to make a difference - are good ‘ol diet and exercise :smile:

Used it now very informative 

Ohh - I’ll have to try that. Saw that you can’t take calcium tablets while on tamoxifen too. 

Wow just found out you can put in the problem eg arthritic pain and out pops herbs etc that might help - now that is helpful
