Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock. Breast and prostate cancers occur in tissues that have a greater sensitivity to hormonal influence. We discuss the mechanisms that underlie these cancerous conditions, beginning with effectors of hormone receptor sensitivity, hormonal detoxification processes, botanical and nutritional strategies to help control the process and/or complement conventional treatments. Botanical agents include Leonurus, Leonotis, Mahonia, Asparagus, Ipomoea, Phytolacca, Iris, Galium, Lycopus, Campotheca, Taxus, Catharanthus, Datura, Lobelia and Alpinia.
