1. my assumption and observation BRCA gene mutations do not predisposition a client to any type of cancer im guessing they completely misinterpreted the definition for this gene mutation
it looks like to me that BRCA mutation is conditioned by the MTHFR mutation combinations
so if u have the BRCA u most prob have the MTHFR
therefor the diet + environment is resin for cancer but in cases of MTHFR if an individual never knows of how to prevent it, or reverse it (like most of the population aka SAD population) that no doubt that for scientists it will look like the BRCA gene mutation is the cause or that it increases possibilities
2. whats your view on this subject?
3. whats your definition of the BRCA?
4. how do u design the protocol for the BRCA clients?
5. what questions do u have on this subject or what questions have risen from working with MTHFR AND BRCA CLIENTS
The same methylation treatment works for everybody regardless of which disease they have. There is a broad treatment protocol, but it's individualized for each person according to their unique genetics and functional status. This is a new paradigm for medicine.
The first thing is to optimize gut function which involves cleaning up the diet, treating any gut infections and optimizing good flora. Then get into SNPs treatment. You have to look at the whole methylation cycle as well as the detoxification pathways.
You can get an idea of what treatment to try by looking at the SNPs Interpretation Guide linked in my signature below. For breast cancer, as I stated before, I would optimize the methylation cycle so that BRCA doesn't get expressed.
Then you would want to minimize anything else that would cause cancer, especially breast cancer. For example, I would also be looking at CYP1B1 and COMT which affect the detoxification of estrogen. Estrogen dominance is also a factor in developing breast cancer. You can do cruciferous veggies or certain supplements for that. If you smoke, and have NAT genes, you would want to quit smoking, as those with NAT genes who smoke are particularly susceptible to cancer. Or those with CYP2A6 eating cured meats, etc. (Of course, those things are not really good for anybody...)
So then let's say you had your gut working well, and were living a toxin free lifestyle, and were taking proper supplemention to bypass your SNPs. A final thing to try would be sweating in a sauna, to help the body detoxify from our polluted world. Ben Lynch does this on a regular basis.
In fact, Ben Lynch has some great recommendations on his site for general health for those with MTHFR mutations
http://mthfr.net/. Basically, it's what I have outlined above. Clean living is the root of prevention. Societies such as southern Italy, who live a stress free non-toxic healthy lifestyle, even though they have a high rate of MTHFR mutations, have a much lower cancer rate.
I haven't personally worked with any BRCA patients, so this is all conjecture on my part. Note that I'm also not a doctor, just a well researched ME patient. Any information provided is educational.
Ben Lynch also has a video course on cancer you may find helpful. I haven't personally looked at it yet, but it's on my list of stuff to do, as cancer runs in my family.
