Information on Breast CancerDescription Breast cancer is a malignant neoplasm in the breast. Breast cancers are classified as noninvasive (in situ) or invasive (infiltrating) with approximately 70% of all breast cancers possessing a component of invasion. Causes Only 20% of patients have a significant family history of breast cancer. This predisposition tends to be autosomal dominant with maternal lineage. Recent studies have revealed families with breast cancer susceptibility genes including BRCA1 and BRCA2. Family history suggestive of breast cancer susceptibility genes include multiple first and second degree relatives with early breast cancer diagnosis and the presence of ovarian cancer. Approximately 1 in 400 U.S. women will carry a germ-line mutation for BRCA1. BRCA1 carriers have approximately an 85% chance of developing breast cancer in a lifetime. BRCA2 carriers have a higher risk of male breast cancer. The specific cause of breast cancer is unknown. RISK FACTORS ¥ Increased breast cancer risk occurs in first degree relatives (relative risk [RR] = 2.3), with bilateral disease in premenopausal relatives (RR = 10.5), or bilateral disease in postmenopausal relatives 5.0) ¥ Increased hormone risks include early menarche, late menopause, nulliparity or first full term pregnancy after age 30 ¥ Women with a prior history of breast cancer or previous breast biopsies revealing atypical changes increased risk (5-10 times) for subsequent cancer ¥ Inconclusive risk factors include exogenous estrogen use, high dietary fat, or high alcohol use Conventional Labs Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address it. Phone consults are my specialty. Please call my at (239) 659-2684 to schedule a consultation.
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
