What I have learned is that if you have cancer, you should avoid Dong Quai and Pueraria Mirifica due to the fact that they can increase the existing cancerous cells your body ALREADY possesses. Refer to http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69207.cfm and http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69276.cfm And I agree with the other posts in this forum, most of these herbs actually help prevent cancer. There is a risk of breast cancer when there is too much estrogen and having too little can cause alopecia. What some of these herbs do is stabilize the levels of estrogen which is what we all want; one of these herbs is saw palmetto.
