The connection between antiperspirant and breast cancer seems to hang in the balance of other influences and practices.

I’ve had a lipoma which may have been caused by antiperspirants, but the doctor didn’t have any opinion as to whether it did or not. He just said it was possible. A lipoma is a fatty, benign tumor.

A magazine that I read regularly, Woman’s World, has stated (in a recent article) an obvious precaution about using antiperspirants. It said not to use deodorants directly after shaving the underarms because it could lead to cancer. They’ve also indicated that pure vanilla helps to fight breast cancer.

Other things that I suspect would ward off cancer is:

~Thoroughly washing every day

~Going without Continue Reading

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy: Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy the Best Option For You?

Hormones are material generated by the body and directed via your blood stream to a certain organ with the job of stimulating it. Hormones decline and lose stability with time.

A Bioidentical Hormone Therapy will replace the body’s youthful hormones so that a lot of its vital functions are maintained within time. It was developed as a more natural way to ease and care for pains and states linked to female and male menopause and for treating other illnesses.

In contrast to a synthetic hormone therapy, where the hormones are strange to the patient’s body, therefore, generating severe side effects, a Bioidentical Hormone Therapy plans a therapy based on the Continue Reading

Despite decades of research, doctors do still not have a definite answer to the cause of breast cancer. However, they do have significant data that indicates there are a number of “risk factors” that contribute to the development of the disease. Knowing the risk factors involved in developing breast cancer are key to prevention.

Family history: A family history of breast cancer significantly raises a woman’s risk factor. Dr Susan Love in her book “The Breast Book, 4th Edition, indicates that 6 out of 30 women with family history of the disease will get breast cancer compared to 1 out of 30 women without a family history.

Age: Younger women are at less risk than older women are and women over the age of 55 are at a higher risk.

Females with more dense tissue in their breasts have a higher probability of being diagnosed with breast cancer than those with less dense tissue, an extensive Canadian “investigation” has discovered.

The study deconstructed mammograms from a trio of enormous screening programs in the country, looking at those against women (exceeding a thousand in consensus) who have been targets of breast cancer after their baseline X-ray with an identical quantity of women who weren’t. The researchers stalked the women’s mammography history for 8 years.

According to principal researcher Dr. Norman Boyd, a senior scientist at Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital, results indicate that the amount of density in the breast was prominently orthodox to the Continue Reading

A recollection, from a child’s point of view, of her mother going through breast cancer.

Breast Cancer is a common word in today’s vocabulary. Unfortunate as that is, it is a scary statistic that is on the rise. Every 3 minutes, someone in the United States alone is affected by this disease. Be it individually or by association. It is a scary statistic but, there is only one way to find a cure, and that is to work for it. Many ways and funds will go into finding it, but I do believe one day- there will be no more suffering from this disease. We have come such a long way already.

When I was 11 years old, I was affected by this terrible disease. As you can imagine, the psyche of a eleven year old is not ready to process the concept of dealing with cancer. When a Continue Reading
