  • Breast cancer can appear at anytime from your mid 20s onwards.

  • Breast cancer is now appearing in countries where once it was unheard of.The more developed the country, the more likely one will contract the disease.

  • 90 percent of breast cancers are found by the women themselves.

  • Mammograms have 20 to 30 percent of false positives and false negatives.

  • Breast cancer is classed in stages, 1 to 4. (4 being the worst)

  • Removing the cancerous lump in the breast only addresses the problem, not the cause of the problem. (That’s why the cancer returns)

  • Radical mastectomies do not address why you got breast cancer in the first place.

  • Having a double mastectomy as a preventative measure may stop breast cancer but does nothing for all other cancers.

  • DCIS which is Ductal Carcinoma in Situ is a very mild form of breast cancer; it is classed as stage 0. (It certainly doesn’t require radical treatment)

  • The drug tamoxifen has demonstrated its ability to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer but a fact that is well know is that it can promote aggressive liver and uterine cancer.

  • Herceptin has been heralded as a miracle drug for breast cancer but has been described by the well know cancer expert Dr Ralph W Moss as practically worthless. (Check out his website)

  • All cancers are only one similar disease, but found in over 100 locations. (The causes are nearly all the same)

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 are a healthy diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, vitamin D, exercise and removing the known factors that have caused it.
