You might think that because breast cancer awareness and fundraising have risen drastically that we’re making real progress against breast cancer.
Yet the World Health Organization finds that from 2008 to 2012 breast cancer rates increased by 20%.1
How is that possible, you might ask?
After all, charities like the Susan G. Komen Foundation seem to be working hard to find a cure. They’re one of the most visible charities in the world. They’re the ones who put the pink shoes on football players and sponsor the integration of “pink” into corporate America.
As nice as that sounds, an investigation by The New York Times found that Komen raised $472 million dollars in 2011 … but only 16% of the money went to research. The rest went to education, and screenings.2
That might seem reasonable, except the screenings are mammograms. And more than thirty years of research proves mammograms and screenings don’t stop breast cancer.
The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine examined trends from 1976 through 2008 of early-stage breast cancer and late-stage breast cancer among women 40 or older. They were looking at the effects of mammograms on breast cancer.
They found over the years, diagnoses of early stage breast cancer have greatly increased, but the rates of advanced breast cancer only saw a tiny reduction.3
Which means mammograms aren’t catching more cases of breast cancer. If they were, you’d see a bigger reduction in advanced cases. Instead, there’s a lot of over-diagnosis.
Technology is amazing, but I think it’s caused medicine to be blinded to what’s right in front of their eyes.
It’s a troubling epidemic that I’ve been talking about and treating for over 20 years.
It’s connected to the fact that five cancers are still on the rise while rates of others have stabilized: breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer.
I’m talking about estrogen dominance.
Subscribers to my Confidential Cures newsletter already know this, but at higher levels, estrogen is a known cancer-causing agent. It acts like radiation, producing extremely destructive free radicals, and causes your DNA to “misfire” and produce the defects that are the beginnings of cancer. After certain estrogens break down, the quinines produced can also cause DNA errors.4
Now, I can’t talk much more about this here in my free e-letter because of severe FDA restrictions on what I can and can’t talk about. But what I can tell you is that too much estrogen also decreases one of your body’s most powerful antioxidants, glutathione. This increases oxidative stress in your cells and can be an early step in carcinogenesis.5
Cosmetic products, which may be a significant source of outside estrogens, are another source of estrogenic activity.
So what can you do about this?
One of the things I talked about in my newsletter is to “take out the trash” by working up a good sweat through exertion. I recommend you use shorter but more challenging periods of exertion.
This pumps more blood through your body, oxygenating and detoxifying your cells, and carrying unwanted compounds away.
Light exercises lasting a long time don’t give you this benefit. They don’t raise your oxygen levels enough. The key is to keep the duration brief and just increase the challenge a little bit each time to make sure you work up a sweat.
You could also take DIM (Diindolylmethane), a 100-percent-natural nutrient that’s found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale and cauliflower.
Try to eat them daily, because DIM can cleanse your system of excess estrogen. For supplementing, I usually start patients with a 100 mg DIM capsule. Two capsules can provide the DIM equivalent to a pound of vegetables.
There are two other things you can do that almost no one knows about but I can’t mention them here. Because the FDA doesn’t recognize the problem of “estrogen dominance.”
They require drugs with clinical trials before I can tell you how to cure this problem. This explains why so few people know they have excess estrogen problems. If you need drug trials as a solution for any health problem, then only drug treatments can solve our problems. Now who does that benefit?
That’s one of the ways the FDA “services” their corporate clients – pharmaceutical companies. I can’t call anything a health problem if I’m going to offer a natural solution for it.
The only place where I’m protected is in my Confidential Cures newsletter. There, the first amendment protects me. The government can’t regulate what I say there, so I can talk about issues, and natural cures they’re trying to sweep under the rug.
