I'm surprised that no one mentioned anything about anti-perspirants and chemical deorderants here. They are the number 1 cause of breast cancer!! I actually read an article how doctors would cut out lumps full of parabens and other chemicals that are found in anti-perspirants.

Sweating is natural ! Through the process of sweating, we eliminate toxins.

Unfortunatly and fortunatly I have found (this is personal theory) that most breast cancer is caused by a women being estrogen dominant. This can happen from lifestyle and nutritional habits, from plastics that contain xenoestrogens, increased intake of soy, being on the pill in the past, stress lowers progest levels and so forth. When one is estrogen dominant, progest is not there to counterbalance the cell proliferation qualities of estrogen. Yes it can be genetic, etc, but it started somewhere and with someone who was estrogen dominant. This can be established and taken care of with lab testing and bio-identical hormones. Have done is hundreds of times with women and with success!

As well, health is taking responsibility for oneself. We can all come up with excuses for oneself and play the victim role thinking that we have it so bad, that we have more stress than others, etc. Well, if health is a priority, it will be made. We all have the same amount of stress in our lives, but it just has a different face for many. It is not how we manage out time (because we all have the same amount of time in a day), but how we manage our tasks within our day, as well as our stressors.

In my opinion and that is all it is, excuses and lack of resonsibility for self is just an illusion that we create in order to get our needs met through someone or something else. When all along, the only person that can and should meet our needs, is the person inside.

I am not a doctor, but I am a woman. I am also of the age where breast cancer rears its' ugly head and stakes its' claim on many of my sister's lives. During the child rearing years, your life flies by in a blur. For many women, just getting in a daily walk is a challenge. But somehow many of us manage to take care of ourselves and our families as best we can. Gentlemen, if it were as easy as getting regular exercise and having the privilege of eating a metabolic type diet, don't you think we would participate to the best of our abilities? Walk a mile in our shoes, guys.

Indeed exercise (regular, low impact, graduated to build or maintain proper bone, muscle and body mass) is ALWAYS best long before a localized or radical masectomy, or other harmful surgery, to correct what is wrong.

Also do not forget to eat for your metabolic typing.
