What the FDA Does Not Want You to Know About Treating Breast Cancer
LISTEN TO KATY ON HOW TO FIGHT BREAST CANCER
Too much chemo. Too much radiation. And way too many mastectomies
“What if I decide to just do nothing?”
It was kind of a taunt, Desiree Basila admits. Not the sort of thing that usually comes out of the mouth of a woman who’s just been diagnosed with breast cancer. For 20 minutes she’d been grilling her breast surgeon. “Just one more question,” she kept saying, and her surgeon appeared to her to be growing weary. She was trying to figure out what to do about her ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), also known as Stage 0 breast cancer, and she was already on her second opinion. The first surgeon had slapped a photograph of her right breast onto a viewer, pointed to a spot about 5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide and told her there was a slot open the following week for a mastectomy.
Basila’s first reaction to her diagnosis was an animal-instinct panic that she registered as “10,000 bricks” crushing into her chest when she woke up in the morning. After that, Basila, who is now 60 and teaches high school science in San Francisco, did a little research. She learned that there were a lot of unknowns about the progression of DCIS, which is noninvasive–it’s confined to the milk ducts–and is the earliest stage of breast cancer. She also learned there was some disagreement in the field about how to treat it.
She knew she wasn’t ready to have one or both of her breasts cut off. And she wasn’t sure she wanted a lumpectomy either. That’s why when Dr. Shelley Hwang, then a surgeon at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), recommended a lumpectomy, Basila grew frustrated. She was coat in hand and ready to walk out the door when she issued that half taunt. And when she did, Hwang said this: “Well, some people are electing to do that.”
Basila sat back down, and as their meeting reached the hour mark, she made a choice that humans are practically hardwired not to make in the face of a cancer diagnosis: she decided to do nothing.
Well, not nothing, exactly….

Breast cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy in women in the United States and is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer-related deaths.
A high-fiber low-fat diet reduces blood levels of estrogen in women with breast cancer, researchers report. This may help keep the disease in check, as breast cancers are sometimes driven by female hormones.
Even moderate physical activity over the course of a lifetime can reduce a young woman’s risk.
Having breast cancer tissue sampled with a needle seems to increase the odds that disease will also be found in an armpit lymph node called the sentinel node, new research suggests. The spread of breast cancer to the sentinel node adversely affects a woman’s survival and influences the treatment received. As reported in the Archives of Surgery, Dr. Nora M. Hansen of the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Saint John’s Health Center, Santa Monica, California hypothesized that the method used to obtain specimens from the breast tumor might influence the spread of cancer to the sentinel node. To investigate, the researchers studied 663 women with proven breast cancer. Of the cancers, about half were biopsied with a needle, while the remainder involved actual removal of the tumor. Women who had a needle biopsy were about 50 percent more likely to have cancer in the sentinel node than women who underwent tumor removal. The researchers suggest that the increased risk of sentinel node disease may be “due in part to the mechanical disruption of the tumor by the needle,” and they call for further studies to confirm these findings.

High-carb diets may increase more than just waistlines. New research suggests they might raise the risk of breast cancer.
Genistein, which has weak estrogenic and antiestrogenic properties, may be one of the the components in the soy-based Asian diet that helps prevent breast cancer by its effects on biochemistry early in life. Reduced caloric consumption by Asians may be another reason for the lower rate of breast cancer.
One test tube study indicates saw palmetto slows the growth of breast cancer cells.
Consider the following supplements: Black Cohosh, Cat’s Claw, Curcumin, Green Tea, and Melatonin. You can read more about them by clicking on the links here or at the top of the page.

Increased risk for breast cancer is associated with a personal or family history of the disease and inherited genetic mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes; these include BRCA1 and BRCA2 and other less common inherited gene mutations. An inherited predisposition to develop breast cancer accounts for approximately 5%-10% of all breast cancer cases, but is rare in the general population (less than 1%). Women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations have an estimated 45% to 65% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Other known risk factors include obesity, use of MHT (a hormone therapy that combines progestin and estrogen), high breast tissue density, alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity.
When diagnosed early, breast cancer treatment generally involves surgery, which, depending on the stage and molecular characteristics of the cancer, may be followed by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy (including hormone therapy)
The reason the FDA does not want you to know is that there have been to many lives lost with misleading and inaccurate information!
Human life is precious,more women survive breast cancer now than ever thanks to research and effective PROVEN treatments.
Do not be fooled by Quackery!
Thank you, Common Sense. Very much.
also, the liklihood or risk of bc is increased like 40% if a woman has an abortion on her first pregnancy. That is often the pregnancy that is aborted, too.
It interupts the natural progression of developing cells for milk production during the first pregnancy… they are then left unable to finish in the development properly. That sets the woman up for cancer later…
Sad, two tragedies from one thing, one crime. Everyone suffers. The Child, the Woman, and everyone around them, in fact, their suffering emanates all round the whole universe… like waves/ripples from one earthquake jolt.
Again we appreciate your helpful articles, thanks again.
First of all a Carcinoma in Situ is benign WITH A CHANCE of becoming malignant.
Second: The cancer act of 1939 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Geo6/2-3/13/section/4 states that NO OTHER TREATMENT than radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be prescribed by doctors as being “curable”
Why is this?
Most of the ‘other’ treatments are not proven,cancer has to be treated quickly and effectively.
If you compare survival rates now compared to 50 years ago the treatment now is evolved and effective.
I know of plenty of cases of people opting for alternative treatments who have now sadly passed away,we really can not play with people lives.
I should say several rather than plenty… In my previous submission.
When people turn to “alternative” medicine the pharceutic industry has already given up on them (Most of the time these people are in stage IV of cancer or have a very agressive form)
Second: You CANNOT treat one thing only. Human beings are complex biological orgasms that WHEN BE TREATED CORRECTLY, EVERYTHING HEALS!
Third: Legislation is man made, but lobbyists have to persuade governments to write laws in favor of the big companies
Now why are most cancer “treatments” carcinogenic? (http://www.chemo-facts.com)
Why did a cancer hostipal board member stated in 2011 that 70% of the “treatments” do not work?
Do you know the power of statistics? Just present a bunch of numbers, regardless the reasons and regardless the consequences and you have an opportunity to give ANY statement on those numbers. (There are lies and statistics)
Fourth: We forgot the self-healing power of the body, however, whatever may be the cause, it took years to get to a stage to have stage IV cancer THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE OVERNIGHT.
But it IS possible, just not with pharmaceutical “medicine”. That only treats the symptoms, not the cause, to make as much profit as possible.

It’s been known since 1926 that the prime cause of cancer was determined by Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine Dr. Otto Warburg. It has to do with cellular oxygen. He wrote about it in a research articled called “The Metabolism of Tumours” in Germany. For Beyond 50′s “Natural Healing” talks, listen to an interview with Professor Brian Peskin about advancing the studies of Dr. Warburg. He has taught many how to stop cancer in its growth, even if it’s at an advanced stage.
A new “medicine” may be introduced to the public when TWO TEST PROVE THAT THE “MEDICINE” WORKS BETTER THAN A PLACEBO.
No matter how many tests are performed, no matter if it actually cures, no matter the side effects, no matter the consequences…..
That’s how the sick industry works nowadays….
