Breast Cancer Risk

The gene transformation in breast cancer can be passed trough the next generations of females in the family, especially if the family has only few females. Over 90 percent of breast cancer cases are diagnosed during the earlier stages of the disease. Early spotting is beneficial for the patient as it typically means better Cure and a stronger prognosis.

Women who are using prescription menopause drugs are placing themselves at a greatly increased risk of contracting breast cancer. The primary causes of breast cancer: nutritional deficiencies, exposure to environmental toxicity, inflammation, estrogen dominance and the resultant breakdown in genetic integrity and immune surveillance, are entirely overlooked by this fixation on drug therapy and its would-be "magic bullets."

Billions of dollars are raised and funneled towards drug research, when the lowly turmeric plant, the humble cabbage and the unassuming bowl of miso soup may offer far more promise at preventing and treating breast cancer than all the toximolecular drugs on the market put together.

Women with lumpy or dense boobs were earlier believed to have higher risks. But, nowadays, researchers believe there is no such connection. Lumpy or dense tissue makes it difficult to differentiate the normal tissue from the cancerous tissue. So, your doctor may often advise your mammograms to be followed by an ultrasound examination.

Most of them, however, are used in combination with surgery for best effects, either prior to, in order to reduce the size of the tumor or after surgery, to remove any remaining cancer cells. For a better understanding of these alternative methods of treatment for breast cancer, let's take a closer look at each one, explaining how and in what cases might be helpful.

Facts that are well known to have caused breast cancer are a diet high in animal fat, salt and refined sugar, having been on the contraception pill for many years, the regular consumption of alcohol, our sedentary lifestyle (i.e. not exercising) and the use of chemicals, especially underarm antiperspirants, sunscreens and hair dyes.

Facts that prevent and stop breast cancer from spreading are a healthy diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, vitamin D which you get freely from the sun, exercise and removing the known factors that have caused it.

Remember that true cures for cancer will only be achieved when a patient stimulates their own body's defense system.
