Fight Breast Cancer With Diet, Exercise and a Multiple Vitamin
By Darrell Miller
The human breast is a gland that contains milk ducts, lobes,
fatty tissue, and a network of lymphatic vessels. Cancerous
tumors can develop in virtually any part of the breast and are
most often detected when a woman feels a lump. Cancerous lumps
are generally firm, never go away, and are usually pain-free.
The majority of breast lumps are not cancerous, but there is no
exact way to tell without a professional’s examination. A lump
that seems to be growing or that does not move when it is pushed
may be cancerous. However, it may also be caused by normal
fibrocystic changes during the menstrual cycle. A biopsy is
necessary to identify the lump. Breast cancer can also cause a
yellow, bloody, or clear discharge from the nipple.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and the
second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United
States. The American Cancer society estimates that 267,000 women
were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, and about 39,800
deaths occurred from this disease. The lifetime risk of
developing breast cancer for American women is about one in
nine. Many surveys suggest that it is the health problem that is
most feared by women. However, if breast cancer is detected
early, the five-year-and-beyond survival rate is at about 95
percent.
There is no single answer as to what causes breast cancer, and
it is reported that about 60 percent of breast cancers develop
without any known risk factors. Researchers believe that
estrogen in the most likely culprit in many cases of breast
cancer. Estrogen promotes cellular growth in the tissues of the
breasts and reproductive organs, and cancer is a disorder of
unrestrained cellular growth. Some of the risk factors for
breast cancer include onset of menstruation before age nine,
menopause after age fifty-five, having a first child after age
forty, and having no or few children. The one thing that all of
these risk factors have in common is that they result in the
breasts being exposed to more estrogen for longer periods of
time.
Men can also get breast cancer, but they account for less than
1 percent of breast cancer cases. While it occurs less
frequently, breast cancer in men usually is diagnosed at a
later, and therefore more serious stage because neither
physicians or patients tend to suspect it. About 1,500 men are
diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the United States,
with 400 dying from it. Cure rates are generally the same for
men as they are for women.
It is crucial to detect breast cancer in its earliest and most
curable stage. By making healthy changes in diet and lifestyle,
examining your breasts regularly, and having regular mammograms
can increase your chances of avoiding or overcoming breast
cancer.
The following nutrients are helpful in preventing and dealing
with breast cancer: coenzyme Q10, colostrum, DMG, essential
fatty acids, garlic, germanium, melatonin, a multi-mineral
complex, a multi-vitamin complex, natural beta-carotene,
proteolytic enzymes, selenium, shark cartilage, SOD, vitamin B
complex, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, vitamin E, maitake,
vitamin D3, acidophilus, kelp, l-carnitine, l-cysteine,
Pycnogenol, raw glandular complex, and SAMe. Additionally, the
following herbs may be beneficial: astragalus root, Echinacea,
bilberry, burdock root, ginger, green tea, peppermint, red
clover, black cohosh, chasteberry, red clover, turmeric,
dandelion root, milk thistle, chaste tree berry, ginseng,
curcumin, rosemary extract, lycopene, sulphoraphane, green tea
extract, garlic, ginkgo biloba, licorice, and silymarin.
Vitamin supplements can help support the bodys nutritional
needs and in so doing help the body fight cancer. Changing ones
diet, exercise and vitamin supplements can help one prevent the
onset of breast cancer and extend ones life span. Natural
vitamins and herbs are available at your local or internet
health food store at reasonable prices. Always consult your
doctor before adding vitamins and herbs to your diet while on
prescription medications.
