I would take it, but also get tested for HER2 and take that therapy.

Additionally, I have several research papers from Leslie C Costello, a scientist who found just 50mg of total zinc a day (normal Upper Tolerable Limit is 40 mg) with a zinc ionophore surpassed metastatic cancer in his patient, and let him further identify a high prolactin issue that, when treated, apparently cured the patient.

His paper, “Zinc: The Wonder Drug for the Treatment of Carcinomas” has a summary of this on page six of the PDF of this information on this PubMed page:

Subsequent to reading several of his papers, I started taking a zinc picolinate (22 mg) capsule a day, along with either two teabags of brewed green tea (or a 150 mg EGCG capsule) and a single quercetin capsule. I have a separate study showing EGCG can be nearly four times more effective than quercetin as a zinc ionophore. However, they appear to work differently, so I combine them and have a small amount of fat with it all to help it absorb.

The zinc ionophore Leslie uses is not commonly available, so I make do with easy alternatives. The need for a zinc ionophore is due to prostate cancer’s ability to greatly shut down the very pathways a normal cell uses to naturally get zinc in (ZIP transporters). The ionophores largely negate what the cancer is doing to save itself, and once the zinc gets in, it helps kill the bad cell.

Do note I am not a doctor and I’m just stating what I do and have come across in my reading.

Check out your total zinc and copper intake. If you have copper pipes, you might be getting upward of 1 milligram of copper a day from those alone, if you aren’t letting your water run a bit before drinking.

We do best with a 7.5 mg to 1 mg zinc to copper ratio.
