    *  Since 1960, breast cancer has claimed more lives than World War II,
	the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf Wars combined.

~ RACE FOR THE CAUSE ~ 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the "Race for the Cure" as
one of it's most popular events.  While this is certainly a worthwhile 
pursuit, I can't help but wonder why there is not an event called "Race for 
the CAUSE." Increasing awareness with regard to the causes helps determine 
appropriate preventative measures - and prevention is always more effective 
and less expensive, not to mention less traumatic than the actual acquistion 
of such a deadly disease.

That diet, lifestyle and environmental factors play an important role in 
the prevention of chronic diseases of all types is a well-known fact - 
and breast cancer is no exception.  Don't fall prey to the notion that 
taking massive doses of one particular food, herb or nutrient is going to do 
the trick, however. While this may be helpful, such an approach is worthless 
unless you have an underlying foundation of healthy eating and lifestyle 
habits, that includes minimal exposure to hormone-disrupting environmental 
toxins.     

As many of you know I am a big advocate of what I call Eating for Health. 
For more on this topic, visit my website. In addition, following is a quick 
list of other valuable tidbits for women and the men that love them to know
about the prevention and causes of breast cancer:


~ 1 ~ The highest rates of breast cancer are found among upper-class women 
who are exposed to high amounts of chemicals from dry cleaning and  
chemically-treated lawns (especially golf courses). 

~ 2 ~ According to experts, 80-90% of breast cancer could be prevented if 
women regularly supplemented with natural progesterone.  For more on this
topic attend the upcoming teleclass, "Balancing Female Hormones, Naturally!,"
or read Dr. John Lee's latest book, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About 
Breast Cancer."

~ 3 ~ In 1978 Israel had the highest rate of breast cancer in the world. 
When they phased out organochlorines the breast cancer rate dropped 
dramatically. Moral of the story: buy "green" environmentally-safe products
that do not use organochlorines (used to bleach paper products) such as 
those made by Seventh Generation - AND - support legislation to phase out
this hormone-disrupting toxin in the U.S.   

~ 4 ~ Hang loose whenever possible - wearing a bra constricts the flow of 
lymph which is very important given that the under arm area houses major 
lymph glands, and the breasts themselves are filled with lymph ducts. The 
lymphatic system is involved in the elimination of wastes from the body -
an important task in preventing breast cancer, fibrocystic and painful 
breasts conditions.  

~ 5 ~ Similarly, breast massage is a good way to get the lymph moving and
bringing circulation to the area.  (I'm sure the men out there would be more 
than happy to assist!)

SPECIAL ALERT - As I was writing this newsletter I learned that the United 
States Food and Drug Administration will likely be regulating the sale of 
ALL natural progesterone - including progesterone creams. While the 
FDA has not mandated this yet, it is likely they soon will, causing all 
forms of over-the-counter progesterone to be classified as a drug requiring 
a physician prescription. 

This is a matter that deeply concerns me, and actually predicted 
would happen in a recent class I gave on balancing hormones naturally.

Natural progesterone cream has been sold over-the-counter for decades and
the medical industry had no interest in it whatsoever.  In fact, it was
generally disregarded by doctors and pharmaceutical companies.  Now that 
the recent HRT study was halted due to the risks involved, suddenly they 
are interested in regulating it - no doubt to take advantage of the growing 
awareness and popularity of natural progesterone as the sales and profits 
associated with synthetic HRT have plummeted.

If you are called to do so, please write to your representatives and voice 
your opposition to this pending regulation.  

Until next time, remember health care is self care.  

Be well,
Kelly
