**About Evening Primrose Oil   

    I did a little research on Primrose Oil and found out 
that the oil enhances the release of estrogen ( and testosterone ). 
Maybe that's why it worsens Ms Yen's condition..? 
The same source also says that women suffering from breast cancer 
that is diagnosed as estrogen-receptor positive ( estrogen-related ) 
should avoid or limit their intake of primrose oil 
and Black Currant oil is a good substitute. 
I did not know about this and since I suspect that I have too much 
PCB and Dioxin ( and other stuff! ) acting like estrogen in my body 
and giving me troubles, I think I am going to check out this 
Black Currant oil instead, too.

    I would like to thank Ms Yen for giving me 
the opportunity to look for these new findings.
