"American women have been sold a bill of goods on early
detection of breast cancer — the old "checkup and a check"
routine. The latest propaganda from the American Cancer Society
proclaims that self-examination "could save your breast — and
save your life." The ACS is not being honest with women, as even
the experts at the ACS agree that the practice of
self-examination is worthless.
Actions to Take
-
Don't get a mammogram and don't bother with
self-examination.
-
Be serious about your diet.
-
Take 500 mg of thiamin (B1) twice daily. It does wonders
for lumpy breasts and may help prevent breast cancer (I have
no proof of that), unnecessary visits to the doctor, and
unnecessary surgery.
-
Take one drop of Lugol's solution (iodine) daily in a
glass of water. Iodine is excellent for breast health. A few
people are allergic to iodine—observe closely for rash after
the first dose. An even more effective treatment with
Lugol's solution is to paint the cervix with it. Often the
lumps will disappear before the patient leaves the doctor's
office!
-
Take flaxseed oil, two capsules twice a day.
-
Avoid trans fatty acids in margarine and vegetable
shortenings, used in most processed foods.
-
If you are a potential mother, remember to breast-feed
your babies. Women who breast-feed are much less likely to
get breast cancer.
-
Get plenty of sunshine. Breast cancer is less frequent
in areas where there is ample sunlight unobscured by smog or
fog. As added insurance, eat oily fish and take cod liver
oil as sources of vitamin D.
-
Drink water free of chlorine and fluorine.
-
Get plenty of calcium from raw milk and bone broths.
-
If you develop a large lump in the breast, do not submit
to more surgery than a simple lump removal and do not allow
them to cut into the lymph nodes in your arm pit.
-
Pass on the radiation and chemotherapy. Radiation is
highly destructive of not only tissues, but the immune
system, which then makes you more susceptible to all
diseases. It is usually a terrible price to pay for a
temporary shrinkage of a tumor."
