Vital Steps For Fighting Breast Cancer

Whether you've been diagnosed with breast cancer or just want to prevent it, there are steps you should be taking to improve the terrain of your breasts. Self-examination is always advisable, and in most instances will find any "lumps" just as soon as a harmful mammogram will.

Add to that, a HEALTHY diet--which means at least six servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Eliminate sugar from your diet. Stevia is an all natural sweetener and, in most cases, can be found at your local grocery store. Eliminate white flour from your diet (which includes any white bread...a whole grain bread with no preservatives is much healthier and can be found in the frozen foods section).

Drink green tea instead of coffee...eliminate carbonated drinks from your diet. Green tea has EGCG, which has an anti-tumor effect on breast cancer cells (sweeten with Stevia or organic honey). Incorporate broccoli into your diet...the more the better. If you can not stand broccoli, opt for a supplement of a "super greens" food from your local health food store. One or two tablespoons added to fruit juice will give you the same benefit with additional healthy vitamins. Be sure your "super greens" incorporate chlorella and spirulina in them. Get all the information you need on these two super greens by reading Super Foods For Optimum Health.

I would also take a selenium supplement. Selenium is a mineral that is normally found in our soil and is passed onto us through the foods that are grown in that soil. Unfortunately, much of our soil is depleted of selenium and therefore, our foods are also. Selenium has been found in numerous clinical trials to reduce breast tumor sizes by as much as 44 percent. It also has reduced the size of prostate tumors.

Up your lignan intake, either by supplement or through food. Studies have shown that those countries that have a higher daily lignan intake, also have lower breast cancer rates. A great source of lignans is flaxseed. Do you think Johanna Budwig and her Budwig diet which incorporated low fat cottage cheese and flaxseed oil might have had some merit? Dr. Budwig was nominated for six nobel prizes, yet when she cured many cancers through her non-mainstream medicine methods, she was ridiculed.

Incorporating the above suggestions into your diet (with plenty of water to expel toxins, etc.), should put you well on your way to stopping and/or eliminating breast cancer as a threat to your health.

There are additional steps you should be taking depending on the stage of cancer that has been diagnosed. Detailed steps with exact amounts of supplementation as well as the Budwig recipe can be found in Cancer - Step Outside The Box.
