mind and body.
Learn very early breast cancer detection
with thermography, which can detect
abnormalities in the breast area up to seven
years before they become detectable by
conventional imaging. Remember to do the
lymphatic breast self-massage which allows
you to do the self-exam at the same time.
These are specific actions that can be
done to keep breast cancers from occurring.
Within the last decade there has been much
advanced research about epigenetics and
nutrigenomics that can be incorporated
into a lifestyle that will put breast health in
our own hands.
Breast Cancer Caused
by Factors Other than
Heredity
by Joyce Sobotta
Eighty-five percent of all breast cancer is caused by factors other than heredity. The
major causes of breast cancer are environmental toxins, bad eating habits and stress.
Our bodies change as we get older, and we are exposed to more toxins today than
ever before. Aggressive forms of breast cancer have been increasing. What was recommended
in the last 30 to 40 years no longer works. When we learn and act with prevention
measures, there can be a decrease in disease and breast cancer.
Some tips for prevention include eating healthy diets and getting rid of bad habits
that were popular in the teen years, such as smoking and eating junk food. Habits to
incorporate into a wholesome lifestyle are cutting back on sugar and eating more green
vegetables, organic proteins and healthy fats, along with lowering alcohol consumption.
They also include drinking the correct amount of pure water and getting into a routine of
stress-reduction techniques and healthy exercise.
Toxins exist all around us, including exposure to electropollution caused by Wi-Fi
and cell phones. Detoxing regularly with short-term fasting diets, enemas or professionally
guided detox regimens is beneficial, helping the liver, kidneys and digestive system to function
at their best.
Xenoestrogen build-up and exposure to other toxins will deplete the body of natural
hormonal balance. Getting specific tests, such as those that check bioavailable hormones as
well as iodine and vitamin D levels, is a great place to start. Eliminate fluoride and bromide
which can block the absorption of iodine, an important hormone for both the thyroid and
the mammary glands. Based on test results, a diet and supplement plan can be designed
for our needs. If you consider hormone replacement, choose bioidentical hormone therapy
(BHT) which will not increase your risk of breast cancer.
Chronic stress lowers immune function and leads to many diseases, including breast
cancer. Practice meditation, yoga and stress-reducing exercises such as walking out in
nature, dancing, swimming and other activities that stimulate the immune system. Learning
