This is true for people who have the breast cancer gene. The HER2 gene is present in about 20 to 30 percent of people who have breast cancer. First off, olives and extra-virgin olive oil contain compounds that are great anti-inflammatory agents. These compounds work to disable or destroy the proteins that make up the HER2 gene.
It's probably not going to help anyone who doesn't have the gene, but this is good news for people who do have this gene. Many doctors believe that eating a Mediterranean diet is also helpful because it is rich in olive oil.
If you know or someone you know has the HER2 gene, I would like to hear from you. If your doctor suggested you incorporate olives and extra-virgin olive oil into your diet, I REALLY want to hear from you.
Your thoughts?

Are you sure with your opinion on that?I have also a recommendation that consuming a certain fruit called here in the Philippines as "GUYABANO" is a very effective remedy
in curing all types of cancer because when you consume this fruit it is more effective than having a chemotherapy because its effectiveness is three times as effective of one chemotherapy.So why waite buy from you grocery if there are available so you can start your healthy meal.The other one is the use of lemon grass.
The concoction of lemon grass can also make some miracle cure to types of cancer because it could kill the cancer cells when drinking it everyday.I wish I have given you enough knowledge in curing your cancer and act now before its too late to save your life.

There is no cure for cancer yet, but there are a lot of foods etc that can help prevent cancer. I think you both are right. I've heard that extra virgin olive oil and many fruits help in the prevention of cancer. If a person has cancer, there is nothing specific that can cure it.

EVOO is so good. Even without the anti-inflammatory effects, it is a heart healthy oil. It also helps to get your fat soluble vitamins around your body. There are other healthy oils but the olive oil is the only one I know of that is used to nullify the HER2 gene.

Wow thank you for this information. I don't know if I have HER2 gene in my body but I think it's best to be sure. Prevention is better than cure, right? Olive oil is kinda more expensive than the normal cooking oil though. Here in my country olive oil is an imported product. I haven't heard of a Philippine made olive oil because I doubt that we have olive here in our country. But anyway, I think it is worth the price.
