My Mother, played tennis regularly, summer and winter up to her 79th year. She played since her 20's , was a member of two tennis clubs, indoor & outdoor, several times a week. She also swam about 50 lengths of the 100 ft long indoor Rec Centre pool 3 times a week She also played indoor badminton in a league, and cross country skiied.

She died last November 29th of Metastatic Breast Cancer. The cancer was all through her body.We knew she'd had breast cancer and a masectomy in 1980 and again in 1992, but she didn't'tell us it came back again. She was sooooo active physically.

No other female member of her birth family or her daughter (me) ever had any type of cancer.
I found out after her death that Mom had a Cervical Tumour removed in 1979, then the 1st masectomy in 1980.
I went back over her medical history and found.Her Doctor gave her prescription drugs when she was carrying a baby that eventually died at only a few days old. Was that DES drug ? Then for her next pregnancy she felt quite ill , nauseated, and her Doctor gave her another prescription drug,anti-nausea,was that DES? causing cervical tumor.

In the 1970's she developed over-active thyroid, Graves Disease, so the Doctor gave her the usual Radioactive Iodine to drink, and it killed TOO MUCH of the thyroid Mom had to go on Thyroid Pills for underactive thyroid.

In the 1960's to 1990's Mom sailed, with Dad on their boat. Mom took PABA pills. Parabenzoaic Acid for years. She said it acted as an internal sunscreen. PABA was banned from sunscreen due to skin irritation. ( could have have been cancer causing too )

Mom decided since she had 3 dehumidifiers running her water bill would be lowered by drinking the water collected. Probably highly contaminated with heavy metals & carcinogens. All that exercise didn't prevent cancer. Drugs and carcinogens caused her cancer.

Good information. What a surprise that exercise has benefits beyond conditioning! I didn't learn that in med school. A study published in The American Journal of Epidemiology; Aug, 1981 showed what I believe is the strongest link to breast cancer. A 33 year study revealed that pre-menopausal women with low progesterone (non-ovulators) showed a 540% INCREASE in breast cancer and a 1000% INCREASE in overall cancer mortality. This is the most dramatic medical study I've ever seen and explains why breast casncer rates have climbed since the introduction of birth control pills. Conventional medicine continues on a definite anti-woman course. The buyer definitely needs to beware!

If soy and cows milk is not good for human consumption.. what's left? Am I down to Goat's milk,, or is that bad also? I eat oatmeal and drink protein shakes.. and for some reason, it all goes better with a milk of some sort. Looking for some light..

Staying active helps your body's immune system stay healthy. That is what fights off the cancer cells and other oppurtunisitic pathogens.

Without a doubt, exercise is vital to our health. Other factors also contribute as well. For ladies, the unnessary wear of bras, which bind the system and does not allow full flow. Applying deordorant, which does not allow the toxins to release properly. You are saying, I need my deordorant, will if you do, your system is full of toxins , and you need to flush them out. There are other factors, but this is a good start.

I agree 100% that exercise is one peice to the healing and prevention puzzle. I have found as well that most of my clients that have breast cancer in their family, are worried or get it, are estrogen dominant. This can mean high levels, but as well normal levels of estrogens. Estrogen dominance means that one has low levels of progesterone in order to oppose estrogen.

Estrogen caused cell proliferation and cell growth. Estrogen dominance in this day and age in my opinion comes from many places, but the most common are:

1. Plastic water bottles and containers contain xenoestrogens.
2. Stress causes the body to steal pregnenolone (precursor to progesterone) from the metabolic pathways in order to keep up with the production of cortisol. This leads to adrenal issues and low progesterone levels.
3. Most hygiene products, perfumes, etc will cause estrogen levels to increase, as well as make a womens hormones go haywire.
4. The pill causes most womens hormones to go haywire. Most have synthetic estrogens in them, which cause adrenal stress, as well as add to estrogen dominance.
5. Soy and this is a whole discussion topic in itself.

Those are my thougths.

Along with oxidative stress, through environmental exposures, including dry cleaning and laundry chemicals, and many bad and carcinogenic things throughout the food and beverage and pharma delivery system, (and having had a mother who died from breast cancer) I posed a passing thought on to a colleague of mine that is an eminent and highly respected Ob/Gyn.

The thought was: "could there be a correlation also between synthetic fiber exposure, and/or blood flow constriction from bras, particularly vanity push up or 'wonder' styles, or extra support or ribbed, and breast cancer frequency epidemiologically"?

He looked at me STUNNED, silently for a moment (I could see the wheels were turning in his mind).

He replied, "that might be a very good hypothesis to prove or disprove".

I put this out there for you experts on the subject to investigate further.

Perhaps, it already has been investigated?
