Enough of the Grim Statistics
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.
