Vital Steps For Fighting Breast Cancer

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer or just want to prevent it, there are steps you should be taking to improve the terrain of your breasts. Self-examination is always advisable, and in most instances will find any “lumps” just as soon as a harmful mammogram will.

Add to that, a HEALTHY diet–which means at least six servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Eliminate sugar from your diet. Stevia is an all natural sweetener and, in most cases, can be found at your local grocery store. Eliminate white flour from your diet (which includes any white bread…a whole grain bread with no preservatives is much healthier and can be found in the frozen foods section).

Drink green tea instead of coffee…eliminate carbonated drinks from your diet. Green tea has EGCG, which has an anti-tumor effect on breast cancer cells (sweeten with Stevia or organic honey). Incorporate broccoli into your diet…the more the better. If you can not stand broccoli, opt for a supplement of a “super greens” food from your local health food store. One or two tablespoons added to fruit juice will give you the same benefit with additional healthy vitamins. Be sure your “super greens” incorporate chlorella and spirulina in them. Get all the information you need on these two super greens by reading Super Foods For Optimum Health.

I would also take a selenium supplement. Selenium is a mineral that is normally found in our soil and is passed onto us through the foods that are grown in that soil. Unfortunately, much of our soil is depleted of selenium and therefore, our foods are also. Selenium has been found in numerous clinical trials to reduce breast tumor sizes by as much as 44 percent. It also has reduced the size of prostate tumors.

Up your lignan intake, either by supplement or through food. Studies have shown that those countries that have a higher daily lignan intake, also have lower breast cancer rates. A great source of lignans is flaxseed. Do you think Johanna Budwig and her Budwig diet which incorporated low fat cottage cheese and flaxseed oil might have had some merit? Dr. Budwig was nominated for six nobel prizes, yet when she cured many cancers through her non-mainstream medicine methods, she was ridiculed.

Incorporating the above suggestions into your diet (with plenty of water to expel toxins, etc.), should put you well on your way to stopping and/or eliminating breast cancer as a threat to your health.

There are additional steps you should be taking depending on the stage of cancer that has been diagnosed. Detailed steps with exact amounts of supplementation as well as the Budwig recipe can be found in Cancer – Step Outside The Box.

Breast Cancer – New Non-Invasive Therapy

There is a new therapy being administered by a clinic in Arkansas that is having very promising results. They are using laser, which is not a new method…it’s the protocol or method by which they use it that is different.

Using an enhancer agent that is injected into the tumor site in the breast, the agent spreads throughout the cancer growth to “enhance” just those cells. The laser is then used and applied to those cells. The laser actually raises the temperature of the cancer cells and kills them with the high temperature. Depending on the size of the tumor, it may take several sessions, done on a daily basis, to kill all of the cancerous cells.

Once the therapy is complete, you body goes to work, through your immune system to remove these dead cells from your body. You will still need to go for follow-up tests every three months with your own physician to ensure and prove that this is taking place. No chemotherapy, no radiation, no blood loss, no excessive healing time from a major surgery, no drugs.

Unlike your typical slash and burn procedures, should your cancer reoccur, the procedure can be done again with very little harm to your body since your immune system has never been compromised from previous chemo and radiation.

I have sent this information to my sisters that have been affected by breast cancer.
You can view the information and send for a brochure from Lase Med Inc.

Here is a testimony (besides the ones on their web site) from a lady who traveled from Canada to have this therapy.

They have also used it on skin cancers with good success. As time goes on, we will see what other types of cancers they will find that it can successfully be used.

I don’t know why news like this hasn’t been communicated through all the newspapers and TV stations throughout the world! Wait a minute…yes, I do know…and you should by now too!

Sister’s Breast Cancer – Update

I have really had to take time to calm down and assess my own feelings about the steps that are being considered by my younger sister. I don’t know where she is getting her information from…wait a minute…I do know. Apparently, the mainstream medical industry thinks it is justifiable to have both breasts removed! Even though, at this point, only one breast has been found to have a tumor, which was removed, treated with chemotherapy and at this time we’re waiting to see if any more cancer appears in test results before performing a mastectomy.

They have told her that since she carries a gene that predisposes her to breast cancer, her risks of developing cancer in the other breast (some time in the future) are high. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to consider having the other breast removed at the same time the first is removed (if that proves to be needed)!

Nothing is mentioned about proper nutrition and adding exercise to her regime to prevent a future problem. Nothing is mentioned about eliminating bad foods, toxins from her environment, stress…etc. Which leads me to believe that she is just another “number” to add to their lists of guinea pigs for the drugs and procedures that they endorse but have no real numbers to show as cures. A five year survival rate is not a cure!

Their own numbers show that if she doesn’t die from cancer (which means they cured her),. she’s apt to die from another problem that was caused by their procedures of treating her. Chemotherapy alone destroys the immune system. So if she were to die from a virus because her immune system was destroyed, I guess they can then say…cancer wasn’t the cause of her death!

What’s wrong with this picture?

Not only that, what if she were to never develop cancer in the other breast? Than she’s had a disfiguring operation for what purpose? OR they remove both breasts and she then develops cancer in some other part of her body? Was the cancer procedures for the breast then considered a cure?

Because of “their” recommendations, my sister is researching their suggestion. I just wish she would spend more time researching what they are not telling her. Yes, she is overweight…yes, her nutrition leaves a lot to be desired…yes, she has a sedentary lifestyle. Ultimately, I have to accept her decision and love her in spite of it. But I sure wish (and pray) that something will reach her to make her understand the role she has played into this disease and that it’s under her control to reverse it without harmful chemicals and toxins.

A lifestyle change…you bet…but one I feel that would hold a whole new outcome and longer future for her.

Review: Cancer – Step Outside The Box

One of the best books I have read on the subject of cancer, it’s causes, and how to address treating it in the least harmful way to your body (no chemotherapy or radiation). In my search for answers, due to three siblings in the last few years being diagnosed with the disease, I’ve read numerous information sites on the internet and have purchased several books to become more knowledgeable on this subject.

I’ve read Kevin Trudeau’s book, the Budwig diet, the information on Essiac tea (I’ve actually helped my sister prepare this), vitamin B17 (laetrile), all the nutritional information I could get my hands on in support of preventing this disease…and I have found this book to be one of the best in supplying all this information in one place.

You will also read why your cells turn into “bad” cells and how they proliferate. Like it or not, your diet and environment have a lot to do with it and most people do very little in adjusting either one of these things once they’ve been diagnosed. Very few mainstream physicians ever make suggestions of adjusting your diet either and that’s probably due to the vast majority of them not having been educated in that being the cause of most diseases. They are educated to treat the disease once it occurs…not on how to prevent it. Unfortunately, that whole education is based on remedies from the drug companies.

Cancer – Step Outside of the Box addresses all of the problems of why we are treated with the mainstream drugs, as well as, the steps you can take to save yourself. Some of the natural remedies do still require a doctor to monitor your progress and if you choose to use those types of remedies, you will still have to find a physician to assist you. It is ultimately your choice. There are references to direct you on the path to finding the right physicians and alternative medicine people that will be able to lead in the proper alternatives for your type of cancer.

It’s a whopping 400 pages of information that every cancer patient or person who has a loved one diagnosed with this disease should read. There have been critics of this book who have said that the author, although mentioning the number of family members he has lost, never says whether they tried any of these solutions. They have also criticized the “lack” of editing and the number of typos and grammatical errors.

I find that to be of little consequence…the main information is what’s important. The life you could save by reading this book, could be your own!

Cancer – Step Outside of the Box

When Was Your Last Mammogram?

This is a question that is often asked by my siblings since two of them have been diagnosed with breast cancer. My youngest sister just recently, and one of my older sisters has had it show up twice…as well as having a couple of small tumors removed from her thyroid recently.

I must admit to them that it has been several years since I’ve undergone a mammogram and that it’s mostly been my choice not to have one done.

My older sister’s first diagnosis was not found through a mammogram. In fact, she was diagnosed four months after having a mammogram that showed no problems and ended up having a mastectomy. The same thing with my younger sister. She had a mammogram this past December which was negative and the early part of June, she was the one who found a lump.

Having come from a large family (8 girls, 2 boys) with a history of cancer in our family, I believe the medical industry has done a good job in putting the fear in ya, to do things as they see that they should be done.

When my older sister was diagnosed the second time with breast cancer (in the other breast), do to her own research and my helping her by leading her to different reports and studies, she refused the chemotherapy which is so detrimental to the rest of your health.

She did have herself tested to see if she had the “gene” that predisposes you to cancer (oncogene AC), which she does. Therefore, no more mammograms for her, which is a good thing. Instead she gets MRIs every six months to keep tabs on whether this disease shows back up or not.

Now wouldn’t you think the insurance companies would pay for this test? After all, if you have this gene and the radiation from mammograms could increase your chances of cancer tumors significantly, the more they are going to have to pay out for future procedures. BUT, most insurance companies don’t cover this test. My sister paid for it out of her own pocket (approx. $150).

When it’s predicted that 10,000 women will die this year, that are carriers of this gene, largely due to mammograms…wouldn’t you think the test would be mandatory before mammograms were even implemented in women?

The radiation that women are exposed to in mammograms is cumulative. Which means if they start testing you at the age of 40 (or earlier), each time you have a mammogram, your chances of getting breast cancer are increased 1-2%, depending on how many views they take.

Multiply that times the number of years you receive them, and if you’re already predisposed to the disease, by the time you’re in your 50s or 60s, you have upped your chances of tumors appearing by 10-20%.

Is it any wonder that I don’t put much faith in the medical industry? Should I be one of the ones stuck with this disease, I will use whatever alternative information I have to assault it before I let them slice and dice me, destroy my immune system, only to have it come back and begin the whole regimen all over again!

I, for one, refuse to be their guinea pig!

More "Natural" Cancer Fighting Information…

First an update on my brother:

He’s doing “okay”. He had the surgery to re-attach everything so that he’s no longer using an ostomy bag….but the road is still long with the healing process and hopefully getting control of bathroom functions (no guarantees from the medical establishment). He can’t wander too far from bathroom facilities at this point, which means no long distance traveling. He was told after the surgery, it would take him about six months to be functioning normally. Well….that time has come and gone. Now they’re telling him it could be six months to a year before he would function normally (for some reason, I don’t have much faith in what they say). Even through all of this, he still will not listen to any recommendations or options for taking control of his own health. I love him anyways and can assure you, if he’s ever ready (which some people never are) to take responsibility for his own healing process, I’ll be there to at least direct him to information that could very well extend his life.

On to other info….

Ya’all know that eating fresh fruits and vegetables are good first steps in fighting cancer…right? And ya’all also know that the bright colored fruits and vegetables have the most bang for your buck in that fight! Hey look….I hate most dark colored (green) vegetables myself (i.e. spinach, asparagus), but I will eat broccoli (which, by the way, is one of the most potent cancer fighting vegies).

Have you ever heard of chlorella and spirulina? I hadn’t either! And goodness knows, I would have a hard time eating spinach and such daily! But what if you could get the most “complete food” substance in a capsule that you take daily? What if that capsule also removed a lot of harmful substances from your body naturally, at the same time that it was giving you the essentials you need to help make your body whole again?

Here is a free pdf book that will give you the low-down on chlorella and spurilina, along with recommendations on the purest type to buy. From the reading I have done, if you are someone with cancer, or cancer runs in your family…..as a preventative measure, I would definitely be studying this little book with it’s wealth of information. You can also do a google search on the above “greens” and come up with a wealth of other information (all positive).
