Breast Inflammation Key to Cancer Growth

In late December 2010, the magazine Cancer Research reported a story on new research just released about a study done at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, that offers some interesting validation to the benefit of addressing early inflammation in the breast, and keeping it under control, as a strategy to prevent breast cancer.

The study was funded by support from the National Institutes of Health, the Dr. Ralph and Marian C. Falk Medical Research Trust, and a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
Researchers from the Nigata University of Pharmacy and Applied Life Sciences in Japan, the National Cancer Institute, the University of Western Australia, and the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical School all contributed to the study.

As part of any consultation I do with a client, this has always been something I place emphasis on. It's important to address any form of early inflammation in the body, and explore strategies of how best to control it. Thermal Imaging allows us to clearly visualise any changes in breast tissue, related to inflammation, MANY YEARS, ahead of potential trouble. As such, it is an extremely valuable tool in maintaining good breast health.

Slow Chemical Death by Rubber Duck

I was delighted to see an article in the Weekend Edition of the Sydney Morning Herald, about a new book called 'Slow Death by Rubber Duck' , drawing attention to the ever present problems of toxic chemicals in our environment.

Natural health practitioners have been attempting to make this point for many years now, but as always, once the message finally starts filtering through to the mainstream media, it suddenly becomes the flavour of the month.

No doubt it will create a stir in some circles, as people start asking the hard questions. I strongly believe the accumulation of toxic chemicals in fatty tissue, may be one of the potential pre-cursors to developing breast cancer.

I recommend you make the time to read this article, and get the book and read it. I have a copy in my clinic and I'm happy to loan it. If you'd like further information on strategies for how to deal with this issue of toxic chemical accumulation, contact me on totalhealthoptions@bigpond.com.
