I don't want to answer for Wahaika, but I know that he doesn't come around here much anymore. He may still answer, but for now, I'll link you to a quick summary of his program and Eve's, that I gave someone.

I should really emphasize that those are all his ideas, but I heavily edited it for length, and added in some stuff of my own for clarity, since I had already cut out so much. The actual programs are all his. Maybe he'll have some corrections or details to add.
I just remembered that he has also sometimes mentioned the possibility of combining Greenbush with Chiyomilk's program. She used PM during the first half of her cycle and B-up drops during the second half. B-up drops contain 3 of the herbs in the Greenbush combo and don't contain fennel, but I doubt that including fennel would be a problem. In the post on his site about her program, he mentions that the dandelion root in B-up drops is probably significant. The pills also contain soy, and she also purposely tried to include some extra soy in her diet in the form of soy milk and fermented soy beans. Wahaika seems to think that the other herbs in B-up are at best insignificant, and at worst detrimental to BE. You can read B-up's ingredient list in the 4th post on this page: http://www.breastnexus.com/newreply.php?tid=11824
Chiyomilk also took pig placenta, collagen, a multi, and vitamin C throughout the month. She also massaged religiously, which might have increased prolactin and helped with drainage. I'm not sure how often she actually massaged. She kept track of her ovulation using BBT charting, and also payed attention to any delay of her menstruation. Based on that info, she apparently adjusted her doses accordingly, but I'm not clear on the details.
On his site, Wahaika is pretty adamant that the soy milk should not be made from GM soy. Apparently american soy and soy products tend to be different from most asian soy in the amount and kind of phytoestrogens they contain, mostly because the US uses so much GM soy, but also because of the way the soy is processed. I'm not clear on the details, but Wahaika, and others have said, that it might be a good idea to avoid overly processed soy products, like soy protein drinks, as well as unfermented whole soy, like edamame. The safest choice for BE seems to be non GM soy milk in relatively small amounts. I should point out that Wahaika is not sure that the soy is really even necessary, and tends not to recommend it for BE. I tend to agree with that.
