Hi Amelia Im not sure the medical community wants to find a cure because of the lost profits that would forsee. That's sad, but most of the medical industry has no interest in healing people (mine and many others opinions). It really starts with the basics in life. No matter what the disease (man-made) is. Here is a small article I wrote about BC and has been received well. Understanding how the body is an energy force and being open minded to the topics below is a start. “Every illness or disease is caused by one thing Blockage!” Blockage can be descibed many ways including: emotionally, physically, mentally, energy (meridians of the body), and spirtually. I could explain this simple concept in great detail, but you must figure out and remove your own blockages. Examples below: Breast Cancer can be cured by 1-2 or all of the following (in my opinion): 1) Positive emotions or feelings about your own breasts or yourself are the key. In other words "must learn to love oneself". Without positive emotions we also create stress. When the body doesn’t have a sufficient reserve of micronutrients, adaptation to stress cannot occur and it will then move toward a state of disadaptation with subsequent metabolic changes. If left unresolved, these metabolic changes can result in a compromised immune status or pre-disease state, which leaves the body vulnerable to chronic or virulent disease. Here is a real statistic. Nine out every ten woman don’t like their breasts! Do you know what ANY negative emotion does to the body? Here is the woman's mindset: mine are too small, too big, hang too low, my husband wants me to get breast enhancements, ect. Eventually, chronic stress takes its toll on body and mind, impairing physical and mental health." Must learn to love yourself, including every part of your body. Julian Whitaker, M.D. - "As much as 70 percent of all visits to family doctors or general practitioners are related to chronic stress 2) The bra is too tight (or wearing them too much)! Another form of blockage that causes little or no blood circulation in the breasts. When new blood cells cant get to any part of the body, that part of the body will have issues. I know a very young lady who wears her bra all the time because she doesnt want them to droop when she gets older. You see the state of mind here? 3) Use an organic deodorant (check or ask about the ingrediants, to educate yourself if needed). Fact: Man-Made chemicals kill human cells. 4) Do one or several cleanses to rid the body of toxins in the blood. Colon, Liver, Kidney, ect are several type of cleanses to consider. This could be the most important step you can do. Drink Distilled or Pure Water (80% of your body is made of water), herbs, go on a juice fast (or juice in general), exercise, yoga, swim, eat organic foods, chiropractor, acupunture, reiki healer, or run around the block naked! Just do something different! Focus on Good Health and You'll Have it! A lack of nutrition in your blood can cause everything from low energy and a weak immune system to virtually any disease. Your speed and ability to recover are greatly reduced when you are nutritionally depleted. Nutrition is what builds every cell, every organ and every metabolic chemical in your body. Nutrition is what builds your body; it’s what YOU are made of. Having a rich supply of nutrition in your blood gives you energy, vitality, strength, protects you from disease and illness, and if you get sick, speeds up your recovery dramatically. Dr Richard Shulze, "Every patient that walked into my clinic was nutritionally depleted". “Benjamin Franklin - "The best of all medicines are rest and fasting" 5) Learning to forgive might be the most important lesson of them all. No matter what has happened to you in life with someone, the negative emotions like hate, dispair, fear, anger, and untrustworthy will block normal energy channels throughout the body. I know this can be difficult to conceive, but if you want to heal yourself from disease then learning to forgive people ( you want them to forgive you) might be the most important factor to overcoming any obstacle in life (even the worst sins). You'll never forget the experience you went through, but forgiving internally or externally is essential for healing the mind, body, and soul. Again, blockage is the cause of all disease and pain. All the information to heal and cure oneself are out there in the world. Open your blockage to find the answers in life you're seeking. Best of health to you

NOW: CANCER: On the news this guy who drank human breast milk (with a prescription) beat cancer. It was discovered by Swedish scientists found that human breast milks kills cancer in a petri dish by accident. People who drink it have had some success in fighting off cancer. You need a prescription and it's about $3 an ounce at a breast milk bank, but it works. http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20061209/bob8.asp http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4187697.stm

Can breast cancer be found by a doctor before you find it

Can breast cancer be found by a doctor before you find it?
Can dr.s find breast cancer before you find out about it? Is it possible to go in when you're sick and they dicover it?

This is absolutely possible. My aunt broke her arm and she went in for an x-ray. She had breast cancer and it had already reached the bone. She died 3 years ago to the day.
2 :
YES. Sometimes they can detect a lump that perhaps you didn't feel or didn't realize what it was when you felt it.
3 :
this is the whole point of screening mammograms, to discover breast cancer when its small enough that you cant even feel it. female patients should ask their family doctor at what age they need to start having these done, and how frequently. Family history of breast cancer in a close relative increases risk and so screening is crucial and usually is done earlier.
4 :
If you are trained in self examination for breast cancer probably you will detect a lump in the breast or bleeding from nipple or enlarged gland in the axilla or over clavicle and approach a doctor suspecting cancer.Some times if these signs escape your attention possibly a doctor may detect it.Even if the doctor detect these signs he cannot be sure about the diagnosis.only after biopsy can it be decided whether it is cancer or not. Mamography is the procedure to detect cancer in its early stage.
5 :
it depends especially tumors that are so small to detect in the self Breast examination If your family have a history of breast cancer or age, the doctor will suggests you to take a mammogram
6 :
Hello, Sure. It happens now and then when you are being examined for another reason. Best Regards, John Di Saia MD

If you have a family history of breast cancer can you get it

If you have a family history of breast cancer can you get it?
My great aunt had breast cancer and my grandma or mom don't have it. Is there a chance i might get it?

There's always a chance that anyone can get it, but yes, there does seem to be a genetic link. I would strongly suggest breastfeeding if/when you have children, as this GREATLY reduces your chances of breast cancer. This is a FACT. Use them for what they're meant for. It's healthier for the baby as well.
2 :
yes yes yes
3 :
Just being a women gives you a chance of getting breast cancer, one in 10 women. A first degree relative (like a mother) is another risk, a great aunt is too far to be a health risk

can you get breast cancer if you get sucked on your chest really hard

can you get breast cancer if you get sucked on your chest really hard?
It was my boyfriends birthday, and well, I wanted to give him my body as a present. We went to his house, and when we got to the exciting part, he took off all my top part, and started sucking on my breasts. For over 2 hours, he played around with them, sucked on them, and bit them. It's been three days now and my breasts hurt real bad. Can I get breast cancer from this?

No, but this is the way sex starts, and you can have a pregnancy in no time..... if you are giving your body away, sweetpea, google Planned Parenthood + your city and get on the bc pill, or you will become a mommy, and the bf will be gone before the kid is even 18 months old. Think about it.... reeeeeeeelllllyyyyy hard

How can you tell if you have breast cancer

How can you tell if you have breast cancer?
Im only 14. can you get breast cancer at 14? Because i feel my boobs and inside it seems like its kind of lumpy...? Is this normal? please help?
Cancer - 5 Answers

1 :
well you can get breast cancer at any age feel the area around the nipple to the base if there is a lump their, take it to you mother and ask if that is normal or hereditary. if its not then you should probably go and get a doctor to take a look at it.
2 :
lumpy can be normal and it is unlikely but not impossible to get breast cancer so young. The only way to know for sure is exam, ultrasound and mammogram with a biopsy but the odds are this is totally normal breast tissue.
3 :
Lumpy bits are normal in breasts, very normal. You may find they are more lumpy around your period time.
4 :
I worked in a breast unit 4 a while and even though i am not an expert, i think the advice u have had so far is sensible, but if in doubt go to the doctors, if they think u need it checked do not panic as they usually only send u on for further tests to b on the safe side. Once you are referred the consultants never see it as a waste of time, they r just pleased they r sending away another patient who is healthy
5 :
The chances of breast cancer at your age are just about zero. It's mainly a disease of ageing - 80% of those diagnosed with it are over 50, only around 5% are under 40, 0.1% are under 30 and it's almost unheard of in under 25s. If a 14 year old girl had breast cancer the case would be written up in medical journals worldwide, it would be of such interest to doctors and so unusual. The American Cancer Society and othe cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self-examination at the age of 20. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, even in women over 50. Many women have naturally lumpy breasts. Stop worrying; you have no reason to suppose you have breast cancer and what you describe is perfectly norma
