HOW TO DEAL WITH BREAST CANCER?                        
Don't get it in the first place! 

Stay smelly, shapeless, toothless, and clear of your doctor.

Well, no one is going to buy that!  But let me explain what prompted me to make such an outrageous statement.  There is a doctor in my life whose sincerity, compassion, concern, and uncompromising professionalism are a source of unending wonder to me.  He asserts that a root canal is a causal factor in virtually every case of breast cancer he has seen.  So without going through the mechanics of it all, the strong suggestion appears to be; get the tooth pulled and elect to get an implant instead.

Titanium implants are a very acceptable and safe alternative to the root canal and eliminate the risk of breast cancer from this source.  Warning - if you've been on Fosomax or other Osteoporosis drugs, for any length of time, your chances of receiving a successful implant are greatly diminished!!  Before you get on any Osteoporosis drugs, read my review on Strontium as an alternative.

Next on the doctor's list is the bra.  The more time a woman spends wearing a bra, the greater her risk of contracting breast cancer.  The tighter the bra, the greater the risk, and the worst of the lot are the uplifting kind.  The restrictive forces applied to the underarm lymph clusters impairs the function of these toxin processing glands.  Wear a bra with some play in it if you're large, don't bother with any if you're small.  You can wear an undershirt.  Well, that's a man talking.  I say, get fitted by an expert corsetier in a good lingerie salon.

Sidney Singer, a medical anthropologist has written a book, Dressed to Kill,  in which she presents statistics contrasting the incidence of breast cancer between women who never wore a bra (one in 168), with those women wearing a bra 24 hours a day, who had a 75% chance of developing breast cancer.  Bra wearing at least 14 hours a day increases the hormone prolactin, which decreases circulation in the breast tissue.

American women universally shave their armpits.  This causes microscopic nicks, to which deoderant is then liberally applied.  The shaving nicks then gallantly permit the aluminum laden anti-perspirant to pass into the bloodstream and lymph glands, further insulting them. As if this weren't enough, the anti-perspirants take it a step further by stopping the sweat glands from releasing bodily toxins, which instead are deposited in the lymph nodes on the upper body, below the arms.  This action causes mutations in the cells, which is a guaranteed path to breast cancer.  Clinical studies have shown that nearly all breast cancers occur in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, right where the lymph nodes are located!  In spite of  National Cancer Institute and the Food and Drug Administration giving their endorsement to the aluminum content in deoderants and anti perspirants,every doctor I've spoken with contends that any amount of aluminum is too much!  These organizations rarely have our  best interests at heart and I'd suggest following your doctor's counsel, provided only that your doctor has looked into the subject sufficiently. I kind of wish you would trust me on this, but I'll understand  if you don't, you don't really need a deodorant!  Ask any doctor with the courage to tell you the truth.  If you're lucky, you might even get that confession from a doctor who uses a deoderant himself.  It's a crazy subject.  If you're inclined to research the matter, there is a very good article by Anna Jane Grossman in the November 8, 2007 issue of The New York Times.

This brings us to the cancer business, a trillion dollar industry.  Big Pharma, the AMA, the chemo industry, the hospitals and all those profiting from the misery of cancer have no interest in curing or preventing it.  Cure the cancer and you've lost the patient.  Prevent it, and you don't get the patient in the first place.  There is a lot of money at stake here, with the average cancer treatment costing around $ 350,000.00.

One delightfully efficient way of generating even more revenue is with the notoriously unreliable mammogram!  Here your breast is clamped in a vise and squeezed as flat as it will go, taking the lymph nodes along for the ride and injuring them in the process. - a fine way to encourage the development of cancer.  The pathway to the disease is further smoothed by the ionizing radiation used to produce the x-rays that reveal little more than some inconsistencies in breast tissue, occasional benign lumps and once in a while a lump that could be carcinogenic.  All of these lumps, regardless of their actual condition offer a fine opportunity for the folks in the cancer business to practice their skills in performing invasive biopsies, more often than not, a needless, and frightening procedure, setting the stage for the development of cancer you might not get without it.  There are better ways of checking for breast lumps than mammograms!  Thermography is a very efficient and absolutely harmless test employed by many alternative providers, who achieve a much better accuracy with it.Thermography does not use mechanical pressure or x-rays and is able to detect signs of breast cancer years earlier than mammography. 

For a somewhat detailed description of Thermography and what it does, along with some very good information on avoiding cancer of all types, read the book, Cancer, Step Outside the Box, by Ty M. Bollinger, available from Amazon.  There are all manner of so called "studies" around claiming to define the causes of breast cancer and offering foolproof ways of avoiding, and even curing it.  I guess I've looked at just about every one of them and if I ever encounter any scientific basis for their claims I'll be sure to pass it on to you.  Meanwhile, watch out for the quick buck entrepeneurs out there preying on your fears.

There is a study floating around that asserts that patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 52 or higher, (that would make you pretty chubby), are more likely to die of breast cancer than their thinner counterparts.  I'll pass this along to you at this point because staying slim is an indisputable health benefit on its own.

What to do if after all your efforts, you still contract this disease?  That's the subject of another article, coming soon.  Watch for it. Betty...
