4 Tips to Prevent Breast Cancer

4 Tips to Prevent Breast Cancer

My mother died of breast cancer when I was just six years old. It’s been my goal in life not only to prevent breast cancer myself but to help as many women as possible do the same. Following are three tips I consider very important in a woman’s lifestyle of prevention.

1. Thermography versus a mammogram.

Thermography is a breast cancer test that is used to detect cancer in women that have no symptoms. The beauty of this screening is that it records temperature changes on the surface of the skin. It uses an infrared thermal camera to take a picture of the areas of different temperature in the breasts. The camera displays these patterns as a sort of heat map.

The presence of a cancerous growth is associated with the excessive formation of blood vessels and inflammation in the breast tissue. These show up on the infrared image as areas with a higher skin temperature. Thermography does not compress the breast, is non-invasive and does not involve radiation. With a mammogram, the breast is compressed between two plates and an X-ray is taken. There are potential risks that include exposure to radiation which does have a small cancer risk. (1) On a personal note, I had thermography a couple years ago. I’d been having some burning sensations and some pain in my right breast. Thermography detected some “hot spots.” I got to work on prevention including taking two supplements my naturopath prescribed—DIM  and Healthy Cells Woman  I also included the other two suggestions in my lifestyle plan.

2. Toss out your underwire bras.

Just before I signed up for Thermography I had a series of three dreams —all in one night. They were al the same. An angel shined a light on my right breast and told me I had some spots (they looked like hot spots) that indicated I had the potential to develop breast cancer. The angel told me to get rid of all my underwire bras. I did that immediately. Here’s what Dr. Mercola has to say about underwire bras and their dangers. “But far worse for your health than tight or ill-fitting bras is the most popular type of all — the underwire bra. It’s important to realize that nearly all underwire bras contain metal underwires, coated with plastic. And it is the metal that could ruin your long-term health.

In his 1975 article, Chinese Lessons For Modern Chiropractors, Dr. George Goodheart – known as “the father of Applied Kinesiology” — explained what he calls the “Antenna Effect.”  Essentially, he discovered that by taping a small metal ball over an acupuncture point, you could achieve longer-term stimulation to that point in question. This discovery led to what is now known as AcuAids — small magnetic patches that are used by thousands of doctors across the world.

However, just like a small metal ball, any metal constantly applied to any given energy channel or point on your body can have the same stimulating effect. As described by John D. Andre, D.C., N.D. your breasts are two important neuro-lymphatic reflex points.  The one below your right breast corresponds to your liver and gallbladder. The one below your left breast goes to your stomach. He goes on to say: ‘These reflexes, like all acupuncture points, follow the Law of Stimulation. At the beginning of stimulating a point, it is stimulated – often causing an increase in associated function. Later on, this continued stimulation causes sedation of that point and a subsequent decrease in its associated function. It’s a mechanical thing. If a woman keeps the metal underwires on top of those reflex points, over time that WILL mess up the functioning of the associated circuits—Liver, gallbladder, and stomach. Bottom Line: It will likely make her sick; slowly and quietly.’

In addition to that, the metal wire can also act as an antenna attracting electromagnetic fields, which can also increase your risk of breast cancer.” (2)

3. Eat and juice your cruciferous vegetables. The supplement DIM contains “Diindolylmethane (DIM),  a phytochemical produced during the digestion of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower.” Whether or not you take the DIM supplement, it’s very important to eat at least 3 cups of cruciferous vegetables a week. Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, watercress, and other cruciferous vegetables contain unique health-promoting phytonutrients that have been shown to help prevent the onset and halt the progression of breast cancer.

4. Detox, detox, detox. It is important to get rid of the toxins in your body that could set you up for cancer in the first place. Numerous studies point to the fact that toxic pesticides, plastic toxins, and other environmental chemicals are directly connected with cancer.

My Update: I happy to report that after incorporating these three steps, all the burning and pain that I experienced in my right breast is completely GONE!!
