Well, Louise, that was a freakishly complicated conclusion! Here is
what it said:
RESULTS: Flor-Essence and Essiac herbal tonics at 1%, 2%, 4% and 8%
stimulated cell proliferation relative to untreated controls in both
estrogen receptor positive (MCF-7 and T47D) and estrogen receptor
negative (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-436) cell lines. Exposure to the tonics
also produced a dose-dependent increase in ER dependent luciferase
activity in MCF-7 cells. A 10(-7) M concentration of ICI 182,780
inhibited the induction of ER dependent luciferase activity by
Flor-Essence and Essiac, but did not affect cell proliferation.
CONCLUSION: Flor-Essence and Essiac Herbal Tonics can stimulate the
growth of human breast cancer cells through ER mediated as well as ER
independent mechanisms of action.
I interpret this as:
Cell proliferation happened with both hormone dependent and triple
negative cancers.
