Did you know that fewer than 15% of all women who develop breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it? This might seem like a scary statement, but think about it…This means that 85% of all breast cancer cases are caused by factors other than heredity, such as environmental toxins, eating cancer-causing foods, and stress.
That being said, we all know that our bodies change as we get older. What might work for a 30-year-old might not be a 60-year-old’s cup of tea. In addition to knowing breast cancer signs, here are the top three breast cancer prevention tips you can follow to reduce your risk of breast cancer during each of your milestone decades:
Breast Cancer Prevention Tips for Your 30s
Did you know that the number of under-40-year-olds diagnosed with aggressive forms of breast cancer has been steadily increasing for the last four decades… and that this rise is largely due to preventable factors? In fact, according to statistics provided by the University of Columbia, 95% of all cancers are due to bad diet and the accumulation of toxins.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #1: Get Into Healthy Habits
Maybe you picked up some bad habits in your teens and 20s, like smoking or eating junk food. NOW is the perfect time to make the changes that will turn into healthy lifetime habits later on. These include cutting back on sugar, eating more green veggies, organic proteins, and healthy fats, and lowering your consumption of alcohol. They also include drinking the right amount of fresh, pure water, and getting into a self-nurturing routine that includes stress-reduction techniques such as meditation and healthy forms of exercise.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #2: Reduce the Toxins Around You
Toxins exist all around us, even if we can’t see them. Get in the habit of going organic when it comes to your food sources and natural beauty products. Learn about how to create a “toxin-free” home; this includes reducing your exposure to Wi-Fi and cell phone electro-pollution. You have a lot you want to accomplish! Get in the habit of detoxing your body regularly through short-term fasts, enemas, or professionally-guided detox regimens. You will be helping your liver, kidney, and digestive system to function at its best so that you can be your most energized self.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #3: Think Twice About Oral Contraceptives
As convenient as they may be, those little pills are actually considered a Category 1 “Known and Probable Carcinogen” by the World Health Organization, alongside tobacco, diesel exhaust, and plutonium. In addition, a 2014 study done by the American Association for Cancer Research found that breast cancer risk increased by 50% in those who used oral contraception.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tips for Your 40s & 50s
The years between 40 and 59 find most women going through major changes in their physical body as well as mentally and emotionally.
These changes can be looked at as inconvenient, frustrating, and sometimes downright scary. But according to Christine Northrop, MD, this period of a woman’s life also represents “the biggest opportunity for personal growth and empowerment since adolescence.”
Knowledge really is the key to embracing the “change of life” that the 40s and 50s represent. That includes knowing specific information about what is going on with your unique body system.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #1: Check Your Hormone Levels
Fibroid tumors, menstrual inconsistencies, mood swings, insomnia, and thyroid imbalances are all modern-day associations with the period of a woman’s life between peri-menopause and menopause. These challenges do not mean that your body is suddenly flawed (as conventional medicine would have you believe).
It may mean, however, that because of xenoestrogenetic build-up or other factors, your body may need a little help in naturally coming back into hormonal balance. There is a way to gracefully transition to the next stage of life. Getting specific tests, such as those that check your bio-available hormones as well your iodine and vitamin D levels, is a great place to start.
You may also wish to check for overabundance of fluoride and bromide too. These can block the absorption of iodine, an important hormone for both the thyroid and the mammary glands.
Depending on the results of your tests, you can put into motion a diet and supplement plan that works for you. And if you do consider hormone replacement, choose Bioidentical Hormone Therapy. Unlike the synthetic variety, BHT will not increase your risk of breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #2: Reduce Stress
Maybe you got used to “burning the candle at both ends” when you were in your 20s and 30s, but do you really want to keep up that stressful mindset now that you are in your 40s and 50s? Chronic stress lowers immune function and leads to depression as well as a host of other diseases, including breast cancer. NOW as you enter peri-menopause or menopause is the time for what life coach Cheryl Richardson calls “extreme self-care.” This means getting serious about embracing specific practices, such as meditation and yoga. These practices will help pull your system out of flight-or-flight mode and into a more peaceful state of mind.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #3: Practice Early Detection
Although I am not a fan of mammograms, I am a believer in very early breast cancer detection. Did you know that thermography can detect abnormalities in the breast area up to seven years before they become detectable by conventional imaging? Also, remember to perform regular self-tests as well.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tips for Your 60s & Beyond
The majority of breast cancers occur in women over 65. That is not a pleasant statistic, but it doesn’t have to apply to you if you adhere to the following:
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #1: Keep Active!
Retirement doesn’t have to mean being a couch potato. If you want to prevent breast cancer into your golden years, movement is a must-do. We all know that obesity increases the risk of dis-ease of all kinds. But did you know that a mere one hour of brisk walking each week can cut the risk of breast cancer recurrence by up to 20% for postmenopausal women?
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #2: Rethink Calcium Supplementation
If you are concerned with the condition called “osteoporosis,” you may have followed the conventional recommendations that suggest you take a “bone-building” drug such as Flosomax. Unfortunately, these drugs have some very serious side effects. Over-supplementation with calcium drugs without the proper intake of vitamin D and K can lead to heart attack and calcified arterial plaque. In addition, increased bone density can result in a 2-fold increase in breast cancer risk, according to recent studies.
Breast Cancer Prevention Tip #3: Practice Emotional Health
According to the Center for Disease Control, 85% of all diseases have an emotional element to them. If you are over 60, take the time to reflect on your life as well as your quality of life now. Reach out to others with similar interests; you don’t have to go it alone. Are there experiences you’ve wanted to have or skills you’ve wanted to learn but think that “your time has passed?” Sign up for a class and just do it!
If you’re dealing with a health challenge now, be open to learning about the emotions around it and that may be contributing to it. Journaling, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), meditation, tai chi, and gentle yoga can all be great avenues to explore for health and inner balance as well as connecting with like-minded peers.
Over the last decade, cutting edge research about epigenetics and nutrigenomics have taught us that there is A LOT we can do to put our health destiny in our own hands. Wherever you are on the path of life, there are specific actions you can do NOW to prevent breast cancer and live a balanced, vibrant, and health-filled life. Whatever your age… now is the time to make that happen!
Please let your friends and family know about these breast cancer prevention tips by sharing this article below.
Thank you for the article. I am a 65 year old women and I didn’t know about prevention after this age.
I am 69 ate organic take supplements a d,c,a k2 and many others. No fluoride, filter water for metals and exercise. I developed HER2 positive breast cancer last year. It’s environmental. I also have emf protections on cell phone, computer an Router. So how did I get it. No one in my family had breast cancer.
I highly recommend reading Dr Hula Clark’s books on cancer. Soya and Soy oil play a role, parasites, natural radioactive gas called Radon too (found where there is granite)
Sorry, it doesn’t wash with me……..NO one in my family ever had breast cancer…………I have now HAD IT TWICE IN THE SAME BREAST, ONCE IN 1986 AND AGAIN IN 2016
ms best: Re-read the article above. The stats are that 85% of people diagnosed with breast cancer DO NOT have any family history of it. Here is the quote from the article: “Did you know that fewer than 15% of all women who develop breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it?
This means that 85% OF ALL BREAST CANCERS ARE CAUSED BY FACTORS OTHER THAN HEREDITY (sic), such as environmental toxins, bad eating habits, and stress.”
My product DIVINE HERBS ….. might be the answer….. they cleanse the whole body including lymph nodes and eliminate all abnormal cells inside the body ….. as well as viruses, fungi and bacteria.
Love and light….. Helga
Helga what kind of herbs are recommended? Thanks
Please what kind of herbs are recommended . Thank you.
I do not think that eating a healthy diet, not drinking alcohol, reducing stress, taking vitamin supplements, and exercising regularly is going to prevent a woman from getting breast cancer. Your own genetic make-up might determine whether you will get breast cancer or not. Some people might have bad diets, exercise very little, smoke, and drink and do not develop any cancer at all. Maybe a preventative breast cancer vaccine will prevent all women at any age from getting breast cancer.
The rates of breast cancer in BRAC positive women have doubled in a few generations. Food and lifestyle do make a difference.
When you taste food outside America, you will notice right away…the difference. The FDA allows so many chemicals into our food it’s unbelievable. Take cottonseed oil for example, a dangerous additive, allowed in almost everything..why? Because our FDA is brought and sold, this agency could careless about anyone’s health. American’s did not want chicken imported from China, so the FDA said, we will allow China to process our chickens..chickens go all the way to China and it’s processed there..it’s ridiculous, unsafe and thousands of jobs again go overseas.
Our food is killing us, period.
I agree completely. My daughter lives in America and finds it difficult to buy meat products without growth hormones, gm feed and antibiotics which are fed regularly to animals living in huge cramped unhealthy production areas. Genetically modified food is widespread with no concern to long term health effects. Food is a huge profit-making industry without any concern for the health of American consumers who are mostly unaware of the toxins they are eating.
Sylvia Logan: I sincerely hope that you do look at “The Truth About Cancer” series to just give yourself the opportunity to experience a natural approach to health & healing. Yes, there are folks who defy all the odds, but not the majority by a long shot. Don’t you agree?
The last thing we need is another vaccine from Big Pharma that goes awry…. we need to work on changing our food system and lifestyle habits.
I have heard that Dr. Tuohy made a preventative breast cancer vaccine for women with triple negative breast cancer. He tried this vaccine on mice with breast cancer and it worked effectively on them. I think that they were doing a Phase 1 clinical trial for women with triple negative breast cancer and the phase 1 will go on for 4 years, because they are waiting to see whether it will work effectively on women, before going to Phase 2. Even if the preventative breast cancer vaccine works effectively on women with breast cancer, it could cause side effects and they can develop cancer somewhere else. I have heard that many people cured their terminal cancer in just eating a raw vegan diet and eating fruit and avoiding meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and desserts. One of the reasons that I am afraid to get cancer, because I do not want to do chemotherapy. I would not like it, if my hair fell out and I feel nauseous. I have heard that people died of the chemotherapy than just the disease itself.
Silvia: if cancer is so genetic, then why didnt our great great great great grandparents have it? Cancer is an epidemic right now and a leading cause of death in the developed world because of our lifestyles, gmo food, drug use, pollution/toxins, and radiation from things like cell phones and wifi. Vaccines contain toxic ingredients as well. It does no good to fight an evil (cancer) with another evil (vaccine). Vaccines just create more problems.
If it’s genetic why am I the only one in my entire family going back several generations to have it? I had a mastectomy 2.5 years ago and nothing since but still….
Re-read the article above. The stats are that 85% of people diagnosed with breast cancer DO NOT have any family history of it.
Here is the quote from the article: “Did you know that fewer than 15% of all women who develop breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it? This means that 85% of all breast cancer cases are caused by factors other than heredity, such as environmental toxins, bad eating habits, and stress.”
You are so right my grandparents live to be a hundred years old they grew their own vegetables and fruits they canned did their own cooking and raise their own meat nothing processed everything cooked fresh did not use poison on their Gardens or in their animals because they knew they were going to eat it
I am a health practitioner in Germany and I just can say we have the power to turn our genes on or off by our lifestyle, eating habits and how strong we keep our detox system and by beeing emotional healthy. And yes I know a lot iof people who were killed by chemo, but they are not in the cancer statistics because they passed by kidney or heart or liver failure and not because of cancer. In order to prevent cancer I totally agree with the given tips here. I have patients comming once per year to get an bioenergetic check what blockages have built up in their system. Most often I find blockages due to radiation, virus infections or metals. Some of my patients are totally unaware that they react negative to OTC painkillers or just plain wheat or sugar. When your healthy tissue starts to ignore not normal cells you are in a precancerous stadium which can be detected long before an image giving system can prouve manifested tumors. I really can recommend the complete series TTAC. I bought it and It is very well researched and Iam very critical. Take all good care of you and your families.
THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS A VACCINATION. THEY ARE NOW SO TOXIC WITH HEALTH DESTROYING ADJUVANTS THAT YOU DO NOT THESE INJECTED INTO YOUR BODY.. READ UP ON THIS SUBJECT. THE SAD AMERICAN DIET IS ANOTHER HEALTH DESTROYER. HORMONES, PESTICIDES, ANTIBIOTICS ET AL ARE ALL HEALTH DESTROYERS. IT DOESN’T TAKE LONG TO WEAN YOURSELF OFF OF THESE DEFILED FOODS LIKE FACTORY MEAT, MILK, BUTTER, EGGS , FARMED FISH, GMOS, NON-ORGANIC FOODS, GRAINS AND SYNTHETIC VITAMINS. PAY NOW OR PAY LATER
No talk about; deodorant or bras…
If I notice a lump in my breast at age 65, what is the life expectancy if I decide to ignore it or just try my own regiment ?
Don’t ignore it. There are different kinds of breast cancer. Some are aggressive and grow quick
Dear msbets,
The fact that you have experienced breast cancer twice, and that no one in your family ever had it, is proof of this article’s premise. The writer says that “85% of all breast cancer cases are caused by factors other than heredity”. Therefore, you belong to 85% of the population in which no one in the family ever had cancer. You don’t want to go through this again. Watch the TTAC series (both of them), and read Ty Bollinger’s book on cancer, as a start. There is so much good information now. Take advantage of it. You will not be sorry you did that.
The writer goes on to explain how to AVOID and PREVENT cancer. As I have learned, Cancer is a SYMPTOM of an underlying malaise. The cancer cells grow and multiply, because the other cells are not healthy enough to stop this from taking place. If you watch the TTAC series of videos, you will hear the experts explain what I just said, Cancer is a sign that the body is not working correctly, and that the immune system is faulty or inadequate. Various experts interviewed by Ty explain how the body must be brought back into balance, before the cancer can be stopped. It is a complete process. It is not fair to simplify this complex series of steps. Together, they form the art and the science of natural healing, including natural means of detox, rejeuvinating therapies, specialized nutrition, and exercise — along with attention to mental, emotional and spiritual issues. It’s a total package: healthy body + healthy mind + healthy spirit. Good luck.
Dear Silvia,
No prevention efforts are 100% fool proof. However, those you listed are some of the efforts, which when practiced consistently, are sure to foster a healthier body/mind/spirit, one which is less at risk for the major diseases like heart, diabetes and cancer. Having heard the experts on the Quest for the Cure and Global Quest series, as I understand it, genetics is not 100% a determinant. In fact, studies called “epic-genetics” are showing that with proper preventive measures, even those with genetic markers can very likely avoid cancer, IF they work on prevention. And you are right about the fact that some people seem to “get away with no cancer”, in spite of their less-than-desirable living habits. But, I think they are few and far between. Follow them long enough — into their 80’s and 90’s — and you might observe that they may live long, but with a poor quality of life. Would you be satisfied with a long, unhealthy life?
Silvia, take control of your life; do not feel that what you do has little or no effect. To do that is to give up trying, and to “welcome” illness. Let common sense and well-sourced information be your guide. I think The Truth About Cancer and its team is a good place to start.
Regards to you both,
Mary Korda, wife, mom, grandma and former teacher-librarian. (I’m no expert, but I love this company TTAC.)
From personal experience, I would have to agree with this article. Of course there are many variables that come into play – diet, life stressors, belief systems, genetics etc – but we do have the power to override these factors. Depending upon one’s own “will to live” and committment to allowing change in our lifestyle, we can alter the tragectory of our lives. Both of my parents (father @ 65yrs; mother @ 73yrs) died of cancer. My younger brother finally succumbed at the tender age of 46 yrs. All were living within the high stress environment of the “family business” and sharing the familiar, big city lifestyle. On the other hand, both my sister and I have moved “out of my father’s house” unto a new land, thousands of miles apart, each of us with a new, healthier lifestyle. Now into our 70’s, neither of us show any signs of cancer. And after a lengthy career of nursing, I still avoid medical care and hospitals except in the case of emergency.
What are other birth control alternatives other than the pills?
You can do healthy practices to make it less likely to occur or be aggressive, then do healthy practices afterwards to aid in your treatment. MSbets: they’re saying it’s NOT mostly genetic. It may have had something to do with environmental exposure. Steve McQueen probably died of cancer from the asbestos in brake pads. Do what you can to improve your likelihood of healthy life.
I always believe prevention is indeed better than cure.. much cheaper and less stress on every one.
A healthy lifestyle CAN decrease one’s chances of getting many cancers by 50%. When I say a healthy lifestyle I mean maintaining a healthy weight, daily exercise and eating a diet high in antioxidants. Read the studies. All three are key.
I watched ‘The Truth About Cancer’ documentary and it is true that the vaccines that the doctors are injecting on people are toxic. The people are getting sicker with the vaccines than without them. I even heard that the HPV vaccine for cervical cancer on young girls and women cause even more cancer, maybe not on the cervix, but in other parts of the body. My sister who did a MSc in Genetics twenty years ago, told me that our mother who had breast cancer at 47 was only 10% genetics. My mother was also exposed to tons of DDT, when she was a girl in Brazil from age 5 to 18. My grandmother use to put tons of it in my mother’s mattress and in those day they did not have any advertisement how harmful it was. She also studied chemistry in high school for 4 years and did a degree in Chemistry at University and she was exposed to tons of chemicals in the labs. I also heard that vaccines even are causing mental illnesses on people, because of the exposure of aluminum. I have heard that multivaccines cause autism on children. I suffer from Asperger’s syndrome and my sister has bipolar disorder. My mother guessed that the reason my sister and I might suffer from mental illness, was maybe because of all the vaccines that we took as little children. My sister and I also drank our mother’s breast milk as babies and we might be exposed to DDT, because of our mother being exposed to it. In your opinion, would you the multi vaccines that my sister and I took and drinking our mother’s breast milk which was exposed to DDT, might had caused our mental disabilities?
It is sad that this article didn’t mention one very important preventative of breast cancer and promoter of breast health: IODINE! In fact, I don’t recall iodine being featured in the TTAC series, studies prove that it can prevent several types of cancer such as breast, ovarian, prostate, thyroid and stomach. Please do your research about it and spread the word, iodine is an essential mineral that all of us have been told we “only” need in tiny amounts, but that is completely false!
There is no need to worry Silvia, I have breast cancer and have had it for 10+years. I have rejected all conventional forms of treatment and am very healthy and living life to the full. My advice is do not use gel based sanitary wear as this is a major form of xenooestrogens as well as follow all the advice given above. Also do not have mammograms and if you are unfortunate enough to get breast cancer, do not have a biopsy as this will increase the likelihood of it spreading significantly. Cancer can be a very positive experience and lead to major positive lifestyle changes. Just don’t get sucked into the ‘system’ and let them scaremonger you into chemo, surgery or any other of the conventional treatments if they don’t feel right for you, Do see ‘the truth about cancer’ series as this will give you a far more realistic and balanced view.
My GP doctor told me to do a mammogram in 2008, when I turned 35 years old, because I have a mother and great aunt with breast cancer. They were diagnosed with it at age 47. I was not too happy about doing mammograms, because of the fear of the doctor phoning me that I have breast cancer and having to do all those conventional treatments that I would not want to do. The arbitrary age for women who did not have a family history of breast cancer in Ontario, Canada then was 40, but in the past few years; they increased the age to 50. The arbitrary age to do a mammogram in Ontario, Canada for women who had a family history of breast cancer was 35, but in the past few years, it has been age 30. I have to do mammograms every year, because of my mother. I did a mammogram last June and my GP doctor’s office phone saying that I had to go to the Breast Health Centre to do a mammogram and an ultrasound on my left breast. Of course, I did not feel any lump on the left breast and any swollen lymph nodes underneath my arm pits. I got a fright for several days, because I was afraid that I had breast cancer because of my mother. I did do the mammogram on my left breast and the ultrasound and the little lump that I have in my left breast turned out to be benign. I have a fibroadenoma in my left breast. The radiologist said that I had fat dense tissue in my breast and a benign fibroadenoma in my left breast. He said that I had the benign lump in my left breast in prior exams. I am surprised if my fibroadenoma was in prior exams, why did I not get any phone call. My sister who is a doctor, a rheumatologist; told me that she had been called back 4 or 5 times, after she got her mammogram results. She had to go to the breast cancer health centre for two years every six months like I do. Hers was not cancer either. Both of us still have our periods. She told me and what other doctors mentioned in the articles that mammograms are not very good at detecting breast cancer on younger women at less than 50, because many people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s have very dense breast cancer and still have their periods. My sister told me that mammograms really should be done after menopause. I go to the Breast Health centre every six months to have my fibroadenoma checked. The breast ultrasound showed my benign fibroadenoma better than my mammogram. The mammogram did not show my benign lump very well. I did watch ‘The Truth About Cancer’ and I have heard that tomography is better at detecting breast cancer and guessing how many years it has been in the breast than mammograms. I have heard that mammograms cause breast cancer in women, if they started too early. They said a breast cancer lump a size of a pea must had been there for 8 to 12 years. In your opinion, do you think that my mother might had had breast cancer way before she was 47? The doctor in ‘The Truth About Cancer’ did not even give chemotherapy and radiation therapy on stage 3 and 4 breast cancer patients, but just tomography and natural treatments and all the cancer in their body disappeared and never came back. I much rather do immunotherapy and viral therapy for breast cancer than chemotherapy and radiation therapy, because at least one does not lose their hair, develop cold sores in the mouth, produce numbness in the feet, feel nauseaous, and vomit. These mild therapies just attack cancer cells and leave healthy cells alone.
Doesn’t mamograms give you cancer. I have refused them from our hospital as they are rolling out under 50’s and over 70’s to be used as guinea pigs and even their leaflet says that the procedure can cause cancer.
So youre still living but you just encourage us to lay down and die? What works for you may just be death for us! I am a cancer survivor, stage 3 breast, 2 types of cancer, one being aggressive, chemo and radiation saved my life. I believe that stress is a factor in getting it, but Im out of that factor called marriage now and Im cancer free, 10 yrs June 2009-June 2019. But please dont encourage ladies to forego cancer treatments, I sincerely believe that I would be dead without it. Losing my hair was very stressful but here I am at 62, getting complimented all the time on how pretty I am, would they lie?, well, maybe….but all the compliments feel great considering the men doesnt know of my cancer fight. So congrats on your (still being alive)feat, but again please refrain of encouraging our sisters to do nothing. Theres too many kinds of cancers and not enough cures but doing nothing seems irresponsible and foolish. Would you give your advice to your child or granddaughters?
To Leodaris…..look into natural way to avoid or assure pregnancy by learning the Billings method of natural family planning. You will find it very reassuring.
Raquel, I eat some foods that are high in iodine. I had roast turkey occasionally. I eat tin cans of tuna every four days, strawberries almost every day, a slice of cheddar cheese for breakfast every two days, corn on the cob and tinned can, green beans every week, shrimp quite often, and a slice or two of white bread every day. I do not take iodine supplements. I once in a while drink cranberry juice and had cranberry sauce. I forgot that I eat one whole banana for breakfast every day. Do those food high in iodine will prevent me from getting breast cancer and any other forms of cancer in the future?
Silvia, Just a few suggestions about your diet:
Tuna is very high in mercury, so I would suggest eating it less often; maybe a couple times per month. Shrimp is one of the dirtiest fish out there. Most of it is farmed, highly processed and typically comes from Vietnam or China, where manufacturing processes are disgusting. Also, try to stay away from anything that comes in a can. Most all cans contain BPA. Strawberries are one of the highest pesticide-laden fruits, so eat organic only. Cheese is ok; although I would suggest organic raw cheese. Conventional cheese is full of antibiotics, processed, and comes from CAFOs – i.e. abused animals. White bread (and most bread in general) spikes blood sugar and contains toxic chemicals. All these little things add up over time and increases your chances of cancer, as well as other metabolic health issues.
I forgot to tell you Raquel that I also eat boiled eggs quite often. I eat them for supper and I put them in my Nicoise salad with the tuna and green beans and put them in my rice salad.
This means that you are being exposed to things no one in your family previously did like chronic stress, ingested, absorbed or inhaled toxins, not eating healthily/not eating or drinking cancer-fighting nutrients, not avoiding GMO’s/foods containing hormones and antibiotics, not getting enough sleep, not exercising enough, taking pharmaceuticals, using cell phones and similar electronic devices, possibly not addressing undesirable hormone changes, etc., etc.
It’s mainly the Pill that caused the epidemic of breast cancer during the past decades. Stay off the Pill and hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer will all but disappear.
How in the world Ty and Company cannot even mention the proven link between abortion and breast cancer is beyond me. I’ve tried to get TTAC to notice, but so far, no luck. But don’t take my word for it:
“Seventy-two epidemiological studies have been conducted since 1957; and 80% of these studies have shown that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer independently of the effect of delaying the birth of a first child.” And there’s much, much more. Please take the time to read and study this website: abortionbreastcancer.com/
Hi Jim, I will suggest this as a topic for us to study. Thanks!
THANK YOU!!! That’s all I’m asking. Look at it. Please evaluate it…scrutinize it as you’ve done with all of your other cancer research. You’ve done yeoman’s work in facing down an industry that is lying to us–some knowingly, some not knowingly–but let’s get the whole truth out there.
Thanks again for promising to look into this…and please let me know what you learn.
FYI …..Recommend radiation free breast thermograms rather than mammograms… See below my holistic Doctor statement …..
Thermal imaging has been FDA approved since 1982 as the only cancer prevention test in existence . All other tests are early detection not prevention.
Due to the fact that a thermogram can see neo-angiogenesis (which is the formation of new blood vessels)it can tell if a cancer will be developing within the next 10 years.
Right on MunaB!! I wish more woman had the courage and desire to do more positive things for themselves. We need to stop looking at the modern medical establishment as a god. I am totally disgusted with it myself-it has become a very for profit machine.
Cancer is NOT a death sentence. It is truly a wake up call to take a hard, honest look at lifestyle and choices and make some changes.
The tips given here are excellent!! The only thing not mentioned was the connection between wearing bras too much and cancer. Get out of those bras every moment you can!!
Contracepive foam is one. Abstinence. Lol!
There are others, too, like the rythym method, where the wife takes her temp to deterime when she is ovulating. Research…
100% correct. It DOES matter what we put into our bodies. Then, you have all of this stress. Perhaps now, this country can right some of the wrongs about food, big pharma, etc. Enough of us must stand up in order for this to happen. Then we have the Dark Act. I haven’t checked to see if it has passed, but not being allowed to know what is in our food (GMO or not) is ludicrous! Merry Christmas-EVERYONE, or Happy Hanukkah: or whichever you may choose, or not choose to celebrate: and a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!
The TRUTH is with you….just educate your self with LOVE for you sacred body.
I have drained my SWAMP of all MDs. They do not want to know theIf you go to an MD truth about what they are doing (selling) to the world.
If you go to an MD, make sure, re3ally sure that he knows and BELIEVES THAT DRUGS ARE POISON. GO NATURAL, Baby !
recommend reading Anthony Williams book “Medical Medium”. Lots explained. Second book is good, too.
Dear T. Ruth,
Yes, you’re right. While I do use antiperspirant, I don’t wear an underwire bra. At 73-years of age, I have never been diagnosed with any kind of cancer. Could it be because God wants me to stay alive to keep my work available to people? Could be. In fact I think so. You may want to check out the icon that says Magazine here:

God was good to me before I believed in him.

You are right Sylvia more people die of chemo more than the cancer itself that’s why there hasent been a cure for over a hundred yrs because of profit if they come up with a cure their profits would dramatically drop in uk last yr they made 66 billion pounds just on chemo treatment
If we did every thing suggested to prevent cancer and did not do anything we weren’t supposed to do, we would have to live in a bubble.
One day we hear “Do this to prevent cancer”. Then we hear “Don’t do this”. Eat this, don’t eat that. No, actually do eat this or do that.
EEEEK! We can go nuts trying to prevent cancer. Some people who never eat well, and smoke and drink never get cancer. Some people who try and eat right and to right, get cancer anyway. So, what are we to do? Just do as best we can and pray.
just hope that it doesn’t happen to you because all this information is very overwhelming; one wouldn’t know what to do. Even for prevention it’s overwhelming. My doctor indicated that thermography does not work. It’s very inaccurate. Mammography is much more accurate she said. Also I mentioned to her that I heard that MRI is a much better method and she said it’s not and it’s something that is done in some rare cases.
Just bec your dr says something does not mean it’s true. Medical care is the 3rd leading cause of death now. Your dr is in the business of selling mammograms & other dangerous services. It’s OK to say no & choose a safer Tx. Drs are not gods & they make tons of mistakes. Just saying.
Where did you get medical care is the 3rd leading cause of death?
Iodine was mentioned, you may have just missed it.
So true about the polluted American Food Supply.. we are what we eat ..and equally what we think, how we respond to our feelibgs…what we feed our hearts and heads so to speak…So watch your thoughts and where they take you..My father died in my arms of a non smoking lung cell cancer almost 28 years ago…his words of wisdom” BE careful.what you think in this life…my thoughts caused the cancer ,Rose”..I know he knew this to be the truth in his heart…and likewise 5 yearsprior to his death I told him he’d be dead in 5 years if he did not alter the prevalant negative thinking pattern in which he was stuck..Alas, 3 years later diagnosed, 2 years later he passed..And as a testament to the power of will and the mind. He lived in the less than 1% of people who are diagnosed at the Stage he was..He was tage 4, with brain metastasis, he literally was told he had ” too many brain tumors to count”..they gave him 2 weeks to 2 months…and told him to “get his affairs in order”Upon those words he fired back at me “I got a couple years,I’ll let you know when I’m ready”…but that was after he commanded me to ” pull (myself) together girl”, as I felt as I appeared , as if I was about o fain at the words I heard. I came to with him shaking me by my shoulders…I wonder what would have happened if he said he had 10 more years?
I am 54 years old and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and underwent chemotherapy and Radiation. I am currently in remission. I am an African woman living in Africa. I try to eat very healthy whenever I can. I like coffee in the morning and I can only have a good sleep if I drink a sleeping pill. I get conflicting statements of what I should eat and what I shouldn’t. I like my coffee with organic fresh milk but no sugar. I find it hard to eat raw vegetables because I don’t know if they are clean enough. Kindly advise

Hello Muna, since I am from Germany too, I would like to know where your practice is. Do you have a Website? Best wishes Judith
I haven’t read anything about ovarian cysts. I have had one for years that seemed innocuous because it showed in transvaginal ultrasound to be consistent in size and fluid-filled. Last exam it was a bit larger with
a “wall” through it. I am 73 and concerned about it’s further development. Any thoughts about how to treat it short of a surgery?

Thanks for sharing all these tips! I think a lot of women should know these tips to spread cancer awareness and prevent women to have cancer.
Say “No” to mammograms which subject breasts to radiation and pressure which could cause latent cancer cells to explode. Do not use an antiperspirant which contains aluminum. Do not wear a bra with an underwire and better yet don’t wear a bra at all. If a special occasion requires wearing a bra, remove it as soon as possible. Cool breasts are healthy breasts. In order to prevent bone loss take Strontium the Bone Maker and AdvaCal. Avoid all drugs which claim to prevent bone loss. Take an iodine pill everyday. Don’t east sugar because it is food for cancer. Don’t stress and laugh a lot. If you have a family history of breast cancer, pray that it doesn’t happen to you.
Excellent information. Stage In Ovarian cancer in 2014. Almost died from chemo. Four years in remission. Tiberius breasts, oil cyst and calcium, but my anxiety about cancer coming back
Has overwhelmed me. Judge retired me out, battle fear. Live alone, isolated, know I need
Emotional support and be contributing to others. God would not have brought me this far to leave me. Gratitude but it is not quality life waiting for shoe to drop.
I do agree with you that major changes in the physical body, in the mind and the heart have been going on for women between 40 and 59. My mother is about to turn 55 and yet we have been noticing she has been having mood changes especially after her menopause. Since women of that age are also prone to breast cancer, I will suggest that she takes the time to see a specialist in that field have her breasts checked to be sure about her health’s wellness.
Yes she needs to be checked, I was 53 when I mentioned to my pain mgmt doc about a lump under my underwirebra. After a whirlwind of tests, I was diagnosed with 2 types of cancer, 9 masses total. I am wondering why she hasnt had mammograms in the past. I started at 40 something. I have always had diagnostic which includes ultrasound cuz my breasts were dense. Good luck take care of Momma.
My daughter was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She is only 36. She is one that exercises regularly, eats well and has for many years. She has gone thru so many tests, and due to doctor misdiagnoses, is now fighting an infection so treatment for the cancer can’t start.
This information on prevention will help the rest in my family. Looking for other things that can help my daughter with treatment assistance as well.
So far her doctors (other than one ER doctor) have been very good, and she has a great support person assigned to her to help her through this. Any other assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks for the information
good one keep up
Hi Varun,
Thanks for letting us know what you think about this.
We appreciate it!
Blessings and love!
I find it helpful when you said that a woman that cuts back on sugar, eats more green veggies, and healthy fats can reduce their risk of cancer. When I read this, I thought that I should look for other lifestyle blogs that feature recipes made out of these ingredients. Doing this will help me and my family stay away from cancer and live a long, fruitful life ahead.
I am surprised there is NO mention of Vitamin D3 combined with Vitamin K2 Complex, which prevents more breast cancers than mammograms.
Hi Parvati, here is link to another article that mentions a number of great nutrients for prevention: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/nutrient-deficiency/.
I’m 63, and my mother died of metastatic breast cancer at age 61. I’ve never been pregnant, and I rely upon aerobic exercise to help curb chance of cancer (so far, I’ve walked over 22,000 miles on my treadmill).
