Total Health Breakthroughs: Free Natural Health Newsletter and Alternative Health Articles

Breast Cancer. The very words strike fear into women everywhere. And for good reason — according to the National Cancer Institute’s factsheet, the 2008 estimates indicated that 182,460 women were diagnosed with and 40,480 women died of breast cancer.¹ That translates into 1 out of 8 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their life time.

With such alarming statistics, it’s even more tragic that most women just wait until a self exam or mammogram shows an unusual lump in the breast. By then the cancer has taken hold and it becomes a life or death battle for survival.

That’s why I did a double take when I read Jim La Valle’s article, Breast Cancer — Real Prevention that appeared in the November 4 issue of Total Health Breakthroughs. Jim’s advice can save countless lives if it is read and understood by women everywhere.

As Jim explains in his article, most breast cancer is determined by how estrogen is metabolized in the body and whether it is balanced by adequate levels of progesterone. Knowing this and taking the appropriate steps means that you may never be involved in this fight for your life, because with the proper testing and nutrition the cancer will never have the opportunity to develop in the first place.

Can men go through menopause? Absolutely! You might not know it, but estrogen dominance, or andropause, is a major health hazard for men over 40. This hormone imbalance occurs when your body builds up too much estrogen and xenoestrogens — which are synthetic forms of the hormone.

You’ve probably never heard of estrogen dominance — and your doctor would probably misdiagnose your symptoms. But this could be the reason you suffer from…

• Memory loss and “senior moments”
• Depression and mood swings
• Sleepless nights
• Unwanted weight gain– especially belly fat
• Muscles turning into flab
• Low sex drive and erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Enlarged prostate and other prostate problems– and a frequent need to urinate
• Hair loss
• Male breasts or “man boobs”

There are three main reasons why these unpleasant symptoms of male menopause may be tormenting you: 1) aging, 2) environmental pollutants, and 3) your diet.

As we age, our bodies change. For some women, these changes include hair loss and/or hair thinning. However, as technology and medical science continue to progress, more and more innovative alternatives have been developed. I have had many successful results treating women with this condition.
