I covered myself with moisturizer, stepped into the stall, pulled the door shut behind me, grabbed the overhead straps and WHOOSH... sun lamps flooded all sides of my body. As their warmth gently enfolded me, a fan whirred overhead, keeping the temperature at a very happy level.
Suddenly the lamps shut off; my three minutes were up. Sadly, I stepped out of my sun stall, put my sweats on over my lubricated body and went home to take a real shower.
No I am not insane; just better informed, healthier, and slightly more tan than I was yesterday.
For the past seven years, I have relentlessly studied the known, probable and possible causes of invasive breast cancer. In 2007 I created a national non-profit organization that teaches women lots of safe, effective and inexpensive ways to help stop breast cancer before it can start.
I soon discovered research on how increasing vitamin D3, the sunshine vitamin, is a powerful way to strengthen your body's ability to block the growth of any breast tumors, not to mention prevent or relieve asthma, allergies, some skin conditions, colon cancer, depression and auto immune diseases. After completing a more extensive review of the vitamin D3 literature, I understood that maintaining a tan throughout the year, while supplementing with vitamin D3 can be the most effective way to raise and maintain blood levels to a protective level. Once you get enough of this special vitamin, (it's actually a hormone that our bodies synthesize from UVB tanning rays) your immune system gets stronger and stronger.
Over the past twenty years, dozens of research biologists and epidemiologists have understood that one major reason New England women have higher breast cancer rates than women living in southern states, is because the northern winter sun's UVB rays are too weak to enable the skin to produce vitamin D3.
A few years ago, Cedric Garland, an epidemiologist at the Moores Cancer Center in San Diego, found that raising vitamin D3 blood levels to 60ng/ml-80ng/ml makes breast cells interlock or stick together, enabling healthy cells to knock out any neighboring mutated or pre-cancerous cells through a process called apoptosis. Using this knowledge, computer models indicate that breast cancer will become a rare disease within the next 20 years, once women are able to reach and maintain that magical 60-80 ng/ml vitamin D3 blood level.
Dr. Joseph Mercola M.D., founder of mercola.com., the leading natural health website with 1.4 million subscribers, and Dr. Marc Sorenson, director of the Sunlight Institute, believe that maintaining a tan, using outdoor and indoor light sources, is the most efficient and effective way to raise and maintain these protective D3 levels. According to a 2004 study by Michael Holick, the nationally known Vitamin D3 researcher at Boston University, people who used indoor tanning had vitamin D3 levels 90% higher than people who avoided sun lamps. Holick's tanners also had significantly higher bone mineral density than their un-tanned or pale-face peers.
So ignore those TV ads by sunscreen manufacturers and those magazine articles (paid for by the same advertisers) about the need to use sunscreen all the time. Chemical sunscreens, a $640 million business in the U.S. alone, block UVB rays, the very rays we need to naturally make vitamin D3. Constant use of chemical sunscreens, by children and adults alike, can also block their ability to develop a decent tan, the one natural sunburn protection enjoyed by our ancestors for centuries.
Holick recommends that light-skinned people who burn, but never tan, use an umbrella in the summer for best protection. Since their pale skin does not block any UVB rays, they actually produce vitamin D3 very efficiently! Reflective sun light and supplements are all these pale faces need to reach significant D3 blood levels.
But those of us who tan easily, especially African Americans, Italians, Greeks, and Hispanics, need much more outdoor and indoor unprotected tanning time because it takes our darker and darkening skin tones longer to absorb enough of those UVB rays to create healthy vitamin D3 levels.
What about melanoma? Recent studies show that people with the highest risk for this deadly skin cancer include folks who drink a lot of alcohol every day, don't eat many leafy green vegetables, and/or have low vitamin D3 levels.
"As more and more Americans work indoors full time, and as more sunblock is used each year, U.S. melanoma rates continue to sky rocket; but people with high levels of vitamin D3, do not develop melanoma," said the Sunlight Institute's Sorenson.
Once U.S. doctors begin to understand the incredible immune support offered by higher vitamin D3 levels, they may stop recommending sunscreen 24-7 to all of their patients. As physicians begin to focus more on preventing disease naturally, instead of quoting corporately-supported pro-sunscreen articles, they will hopefully encourage their patients to become nourished by UVB rays, sensibly gained through limited outside and indoor tanning sessions.

Indications are that red clover extract can behave in such a manner as to inhibit estrogen, but also increase the production and spread of ER positive breast cancer cells.
Now this is where it gets confusing.
Because it seems that, depending on the situation, this herb can either promote or prevent cancer.
An isoflavone present in red clover called biochina a is believed to protect the body from developing breast cancer. So far nothing is written in stone because there still have to be more studies done to evaluate and determine whether or not this information is accurate.
On the other hand, it has been shown that when it comes to prostate cancer, red clover actually prevented the growth and development of normal prostate cells, and took things a step further by increasing the resistance of cancerous prostate cells to high dose radiation.
So for patients with prostate cancer, the last thing they want to do is take red clover.
In favor of red clover, there is a theory that isoflavones protect against breast cancer, as with biochina a, but there is still the possibility that they can have an adverse effect on breast tissue, leading to the development of this type of cancer.
In at least one study, indications are that the effects of red clover's isoflavone supplement did not add to mammography breast density, compared to other studies in which it has shown that hormone replacement treatments do increase mammography breast density.
Let's clear this up: mammographic breast density has been tied to the risk of breast cancer. Other evidence shows that breast density increases when a woman has hormone replacement therapy (hrt) and will then decrease when such therapy is stopped.
Also, in the interest of their own protection, women with a history of breast cancer, which also includes those who have undergone major breast surgery, should not take it.
Indications are that HRT is tied into a greater risk for breast cancer and also an increase in mammography breast density.
Soy and phytoestrogens have been proposed as potential natural alternatives to HRT, but none of this has been proven as yet.
However, it is worth stressing that there is still a strong likelihood that red clover and breast cancer are linked together.
It is usually recommended that patients with hormone-sensitive cancers not take red clover because it can raise estrogen levels. These include estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
Patients suffering from any estrogen-sensitive diseases should avoid the herb too. In other words, play it safe. Until further studies are completed, this is the best advice that can be given.

Many women diagnosed with breast cancer will undergo a surgical procedure, called a mastectomy, to remove one or both breasts. After the mastectomy, some women will choose to undergo reconstruction surgery to rebuild the shape and appearance of the breast. Often, breast reconstruction surgery can be performed immediately following the mastectomy. This procedure occurs during the same operating room visit as the mastectomy so that the patient does not need to come back for more surgery.
With a mastectomy, all of the breast tissue and often, some surrounding tissue, are removed. Sometimes both breasts are removed, often as a preventive surgery for women who are at high risk for developing breast cancer. Losing one or both breasts can be both physically and emotionally devastating to the patient. Fortunately, many women are able to undergo reconstructive surgery to give them the pre-surgery appearance they desire.
Women who want reconstruction can choose to have it done while they are still under anesthesia from the mastectomy. Recent studies have concluded that immediate reconstruction does not delay post-operative chemotherapy, increase recovery time or hinder the diagnosis of local cancer reoccurrence. Many women choose to have reconstruction immediately after mastectomy so that the entire process is complete with one surgical experience.
Breast reconstruction helps to restore symmetry to the patient who has lost a breast to a mastectomy. In addition to rebuilding the lost tissue, the remaining breast may undergo a lift, reduction or augmentation to improve the symmetry of both breasts. Your surgeon will be able to make recommendations for a natural and balanced look that will help you feel confident and secure.
During this procedure, the surgeon may use skin and fat from your abdomen and back to reconstruct the breast mound. A saline or silicone gel implant may be used in combination with this technique. The method used will often be determined by your anatomy, desired results and personal preferences. It is important to note that the patient will not have the same sensation in the reconstructed breast as a natural one. It will feel different or unnatural, depending on the implant used. The patient will notice visible incision lines from the mastectomy and reconstruction.
Losing one or more breasts to cancer can be a very emotional experience. Often, a woman's breasts are closely related to her self-esteem and sexual confidence. With immediate reconstruction, the woman does not have to worry with breast prostheses or other devices that give the illusion of breasts. Reconstruction ensures that the woman has the shape and figure that will allow her to wear the clothes she wants and feel confident with her appearance.
Not all cancer centers have qualified surgeons that are able to provide reconstruction in conjunction with a mastectomy. You will need to talk with your cancer specialists about your desire for this procedure to determine what options are available for you. Your physician will be able to go over the risks and benefits of reconstruction immediately following a mastectomy.
Breast cancer treatment can have a big impact on a woman's emotional and physical health. It is important that you get the care and treatment you require to fight this disease and to live as a survivor. Breast reconstruction is one way to help women feel better about their post-cancer body and improve their quality of life.

Most of us know that the most important creature of the world women are at life-time risk of developing breast cancer due to various factors among them some are in control, but others are not in control and play a vital role to affect the life of women by causing some of the symptoms that don't appear at initial stage.
In most of the cases these symptoms remain passive and appear at later stage when they can't be managed easily with number of treatment options. It is essential to be in touch with breasts for women to catch these symptoms earlier.
How to Recognize Breast Cancer Symptoms?
There are different ways to catch the breast cancer symptoms at initial stage such as self-examination, clinical examination, breast cancer screening etc. Each type has the advantages and the basic purpose of all these methods is the same and that is to detect the cancer as soon as possible after it attacks a woman.
The emphasis on early detection is due to the fact that it is the only way to treat cancer successfully and to raise the survival rate. Self-examination is the most convenient and easy to do method for getting information about the most delicate and important body part breast.
Women can get adequate information about breast by performing regular self-examination at least once a month as information about breasts will be useful not only to detect the symptoms of breast cancer, but also to catch the other abnormalities that can lead to develop breast cancer.
Self-examination can be performed in the privacy of room without seeking the help of any body. The only thing that is required to perform effective self-examination is the women must be keen observer so that they can distinguish normal and abnormal changes. Another benefit of self-examination is that women have clear idea of how her breasts look and feel normally and it is one of the most important things for women to recognize the breast cancer symptoms.
Breast Cancer Symptoms
These symptoms are observed by most of the women during self-examination
· Skin changes such as appearance of wrinkles and puckers on breast skin.
· Changes of size and shape in some cases it is natural for one breast to be larger than the other one, but in case of sudden change it is essential to know the reason.
· Pain in breast that is persistent and does not go away after some medication as well.
· Nipple changes such as inversion or ulceration.
· Fluid discharge from nipple
· Lump formation in the armpit or any area of breast
· Swelling in any part of breast or in the armpit

"Belinda", a woman in her middle years, recently learned that she has breast cancer. She switched to a raw foods diet and immediately started losing weight. She also started seeing different therapists. I explained to her that EFT could help her clear any conflicts that she was having, including any blocks she has to healing.
Though Belinda lives close enough that we could have done a session in person, we decided to do a phone session to save time. The way that I like doing EFT is to get to the biggest underlying issue, and for Belinda her biggest conflict centered around spending so much time taking care of her elderly parents that she hasn't allowed time to take care of herself. The intensity of the conflict was a 10, and when I asked her where it was located in her body, she replied that it felt the most intense in her throat and third eye. Then she noticed that it had become entangled in all of her chakras.
When we did up the set-up phrases we included statements such as, "Even though:
There is a part of me that doesn't think this is going to work, I love and accept myself.
I doubt that this will work...
It's a juggling act with a few too many balls in the air...
I have this conflict with taking care of my parents and not taking care of myself.
I haven't been taking care of myself...
During the first round, we used "It's a juggling act" as her reminder phrase. I could hear her laughing when she repeated, "It's a juggling act." After each round of tapping I asked about the intensity level in her chakras, reminding her that it had been a 10 when we started. At the end of the first round, the intensity dropped from a 10 to an 8. We talked a little more, and it seemed that it might have continued to drop, so I repeated my question. It had dropped to a 6.
To determine what her "sweet spots" were, I asked which of the points that she had tapped on felt particularly good. She came up with four points that stood out for her (her collarbone, side of the eye, above the lip and the top of the head). I told her that in the future, when feeling any anxiety or frustration, she can tap or press on her sweet spots for instant relief.
The next round of tapping brought the intensity down to a 4. I could hear her yawning over the phone. I reminded her that yawning is a release. She said that she was feeling more relaxed as she tapped.
On the third round, she tapped on all the responsibilities that she had with her parents, and how she had forgotten about herself. She also shared how she hadn't taken care of herself, and that she would eat a carton of Häagen-Dazs ice cream for dinner. One of her set-up phrases was, "Even though I used to eat a carton of Häagen-Dazs for dinner, I love and accept myself." At one point as we were tapping, Belinda blurted out, "I'm important!" and so we finished the round with her tapping on "I'm important!" Her intensity dropped to a 2.
Belinda shared with me how she was getting other people involved with all of the jobs that she had been doing for her folks. She was going to continue to lessen her load and shifting her focus to taking good care of herself.
With her final round of tapping, we didn't use any set-up phrases (because the intensity was less than 3). We started with, "I am important!" I encouraged her to come up with her own affirmations as we tapped. The affirmations included:
I am important
I remember I am important
I take good care of myself
I count
I make time for fun (she really liked this one)
The cancer is dissolving as we speak
We have fun at my Titty Party (she had told me she was going to have a breast party)
I am healthy
I am whole and complete
Belinda was really laughing after this last round. Her intensity dropped down to 0. She said that she was feeling really relaxed. I asked if she was familiar with Louise Hay's work, and she said she had several of her books. I shared this affirmation that Louise uses for breast problems.
Caregivers have to remember to take good care of themselves or they can end up getting sick themselves. It truly is a balancing act to take care of oneself and to take care of parents. Belinda is learning how balance her own life with her obligations of taking care of her parents. Now she has EFT as a tool with which to help herself.

Breast cancer and birth control pills seem to be related closely since both are concerned with a common user, women. Many studies conducted the world over claim that the two are related. But so far, no link has been established to support such claims.
Birth control pills are contraceptive pills used by women to put off unplanned pregnancies. The main ingredients of the pill are female hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones when ingested work in order to control the function of uterus and ovaries by preventing the process of ovulation. If no eggs are available for fertilization, conception will not occur. The pill also ensures that the mucus lining of the cervix gets thickened and hence, does not permit entry of the sperms into the uterus.
Breast cancer occurs due to multiplication of the cells in the tissues of the breast, thus forming tumors. The contributing factors for this tumor are probably life-style or other genetic factors. The female hormones enhance the multiplication of cells resulting in the formation of tumors.
Birth control pills were introduced as a method of contraception in the 1960s and are still regarded one of the safest means. Studies conducted on oral pills for contraception have brought out contradictory reports. Some doctors believe that the hormones used now as compared to those used in earlier times for preparing these pills are different. These increase the risk of cancer. When the ingestion is stopped, the chances of getting cancer also get minimized.
Chances of occurrence of cancer in women who have a family history of breast cancer are higher. According to a study presented by the American Medical Association, women who take contraceptive pills and have a family history of breast caner are almost eleven times more susceptible of getting breast cancer. Many scientists believe that this could have been true till 1975 since the pills produced till then had high progesterone and estrogen levels.
Some studies state that women aged 35 years and above and consuming these pills have a higher chance of developing breast cancer. Since the pill is hormone based, the side effects of consuming it will exist. In many cases, while the main intent of preventing unwanted pregnancies is achieved, side effects like breast cancer may come by.
Medicines have different effects on different bodies depending on the individual's constitution. Although contraceptive pills have not been proved to cause cancer, it could do so in some women depending on their body reaction to such pills.

It has become usual for people to tell the world about the causes that are close to their hearts through jewelry and various forms of accessories. What was once a colored ribbon pin has altered into other decorative yet issue-conscious touches like breast cancer wristbands. A cancer wristband raises awareness and money for the fight against breast cancer. It is one of the best new fundraisers for the said kind of cancer. It's most likely the one you'll see everywhere. It is typically colored pink simply because it is the most appropriate color for a wristband, symbolizing feminine strength.
More than a means to raise money and awareness, a breast cancer wristband is also an emblem of caring. Apart from being a splendid adornment, it is also economical that even kids can afford to purchase them. It only costs a few dollars.
