Natural Tips for Breast Cancer By Linda Mackenzie, Ph.D. (c)

BACKGROUND

Breast Cancer is not automatically a death sentence.
In fact, the statistical model used to predict cancer death rates was recently found to be
incorrect.
So, in fact, there are many more cancer survivors than are reported in “the statistics”.
The breast contains lymphatic vessels, milk ducts, lobes and fatty tissue.
The breast is mainly a round mass of glandular tissue with fifteen to twenty lobes.
Each lobe has a duct that leads to an opening in the nipple.
The framework of the breast is composed of connective tissue with a ligament layer
beneath the breast,
which provides firmness.
Most breast lumps are cysts and fibroid masses that are not
cancerous.
Cancerous tumors and lumps never go away.
They are firm and usually pain-free, and can appear in any part of the breast.
A biopsy may be needed to determine if a lump is cancerous.

Some of the symptoms of breast cancer are:
Thickening of the breast
Lumps
Redness
Soreness
Itchiness of the nipple

There are several kinds of breast cancer. They are categorized
by the site where the cancer cells
originated and the area of the breast in which they are located.

These are:Paget’s disease of the nipple

Lobular carcinoma (breast lobe cancer)

Intraductal carcinoma in situ (localized within the ducts)

Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (invasive milk duct cancer)

Inflammatory carcinoma (lymphatic/blood vessel cancer)

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (uncommon)

Malignant cytosarcoma phylliodes (uncommon)

Medullary carcinoma (uncommon)

Tubular carcinoma (uncommon)

Cancer is unrestrained cell growth. Heredity, estrogen and environmental factors
seem to be the main cause of breast cancer.
Heredity cancers usually develop before the age of fifty.
Estrogen promotes cellular growth in the breast.
Environmental factors such as pesticides, chemicals, radiation,
and silicone implants have been linked to breast cancer.

There is an increased risk of breast cancer among women who:
Are childless – in menopause
Started menstruation before 9 years of age
Have had a child after 40 years of age
Consume large amounts of caffeine, alcohol and sugar
Have diabetes
Use oral contraceptives
Eat high-fat diets – are obese
Especially for women over 50 years of age
Use ERT (estrogen replacement therapy) after long-term use of 10 years or more
Frequent exposure to medical x-rays
Breast cancer is most common in women over 40
Especially postmenopausal women
Although you can get breast cancer at any age
Men also get breast cancer although it occurs less frequently

TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

Traditional medical treatments for breast cancer include:
Surgery
Radiation therapy
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy plus bone marrow treatment
Hormone therapy
Or a combination of these treatments.

Doctors once thought that extensive surgery could
control the spread of Cancer, however they now
believe that the cancer cells may break away
from the primary tumor during surgery and spread
through the bloodstream, even in the early stages of the disease.
The use of drug treatment after surgery is used to kill these cells.
The key to any therapy is Research! Research! Research!

NATURAL TREATMENTS

Some of the natural health care treatments include: Antineoplaston therapy
Dr. Burzynski uses amino acid derivatives to inhibit the growth of cancer
Biological and Pharmacologic therapy – use of non toxic medications
Plant cell medications and human cell medications
Shark Cartilage therapy – blocks the creation of new blood
vessels which are required for cancer to grow
and thus starves the tumor
Herbal Remedies

Immune System Treatments/Immunologic Therapies

bolsters the immune system to combat & destroy

cancer cells using a whole body program of detoxifying the body by diet

Uncontaminated water and   vitamins

Metabolic Therapy – uses detox, colon cleansing, anti-cancer diets based

on whole foods plus vitamins

Minerals and enzymes

Nutritional Supplement Therapies

Diet Therapies

Detoxification Therapies

Ozone and Oxygen Therapies

Lifestyle Therapies

Mind-Body Therapies

counseling, bio-feedback, hypnosis, visualization,

imagery, yoga,   massage therapy, meditation, relaxation techniques
