Breast Cancer Alternative Treatment

What is Breast Cancer?

Cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, which is usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk), is called Breast Cancer. It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. Worldwide, it is the most common form of cancer in females, affecting approximately 10% of all women at some stage of their life in the Western world. Although significant efforts are made to achieve early detection and effective treatment, about 20% of all women with breast cancer will die from the disease, and it is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in women. The probability of breast cancer rises with age but breast cancer tends to be more aggressive when it occurs in younger women. One type of breast cancer that is especially aggressive and disproportionately occurs in younger women is inflammatory breast cancer. It is initially staged as Stage III or Stage IV. It also is unique because it often does not present with a lump so that it often is not detected by mammography or ultrasound. It presents with the signs and symptoms of a breast infection like mastitis.

Breast cancer is one of the easier cancers to treat and the causes have been well established. The first recorded case of breast cancer occurred in a lady named Anne of Austria who was married to King Luis the thirteenth of France in the sixteen hundreds. This was when the fashion industry changed and the corset was invented, women started binding up their breasts. Breast binding was very popular with nuns and originally breast cancer was called the nuns disease, because nuns developed it more than any other section of the population. http://www.cancerstory.com/bras.htm

Symptoms Of Breast Cancer

A discharge from the nipple

What Are The Causes Of Breast Cancer?

There are a number of causes of Breast Cancer. Please refer to our main causes of cancer page for further information on the causes of breast and other forms of cancer.

Natural Alternative Treatment For Breast Cancer

At The Budwig Center we have developed a very effective therapy using homeopathic products, massage and Ultra sound based on the research of experienced massage therapists.

The results are truly outstanding and totally natural and no pain as opposed to submitting to a mammogram. More on the dangers of a mammogram at: http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,1275,0.htm

Massage in general is suggested in our program as it is imperative that your entire energetic system is working at optimum. Blocked nerves, frozen and stiff muscles impede the proper flow if energy. Massage along with Bio-Photonic light therapy is effective in restoring energy levels and enhancing the immune system.

We always recommend that all women and especially those with breast lumps and cancer stop wearing the brassiere or wear it as little as possible.

Vitamin D3 protects against Breast Cancer & curbs tumor progression --Written by Kevin Flatt

Natural Sunlight Destroys Breast Cancer Tumours: "..the cells treated with Vitamin D fared much better. And while the vitamin protects healthy cells, Rebecca Mason's experiments are showing that vitamin D has the opposite effect on cancer cells. It kills them." - Professor Michael Holick.

Exposure to sunlight is the greatest source of vitamin D and population studies have previously suggested higher vitamin D levels may contribute to the lower incidence of breast cancer seen in sunny climates such as the Mediterranean.

Not only does the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol (the form made in optimal quantities by your body when your vitamin D blood levels are ideal) inhibit breast cancer cells from growing, it makes those cells grow and die more like natural cells. Furthermore, vitamin D inhibits the formation of excessive blood vessel growth around the cancerous tumour, a process called anti-angiogenesis. (Braz J Med Biol Res. 2002 Jan;35(1):1-9).

In the 1990's, scientists from the University of California at San Diego provided the first evidence of how many women may be dying needlessly from breast cancer due to low vitamin D blood levels. The researchers measured the amount of sunlight available to the women at the latitude where they lived and combined that with the frequency of cloudy weather. Sunny climates are associated with higher vitamin D levels. They found that women in the sunniest regions of the USA were about half as likely to die from breast cancer as were women who lived in less sunny regions. When the same researchers looked at the USSR, before that country dissolved, they found that women who lived in the sunniest regions were three times less likely to develop breast cancer than were the women who lived in regions without as much sun. (Prev Med. 1990 Nov;19(6):614-22 and Int J Epidemiol. 1990 Dec;19(4):820-4.).

Medical News Today reported on 18 Sep 2005 that Scientists reporting in the journal Photochemisty and Photobiology estimated that about 50,000-63,000 annual cancer deaths in the U.S. (10% of all cancer deaths) could be prevented if all Americans had sufficient vitamin D. These findings are based on data in the Atlas of Cancer Mortality Rates for the United States, but are also supported by a number of recent reports that vitamin D plays a very important role in increasing survival once cancer is discovered. These deaths greatly outnumber the annual number of deaths from melanoma (8000) and skin cancer (2000). (Medical News Today 18 Sep 2005).

Another Medical News Today article released on 17 Oct 2006 reported on a study published ahead of print in the Journal of Clinical Pathology, demonstrating that Vitamin D may help curb breast cancer progression.

In 2004, a group at the University Hospital in Quebec confirmed that vitamin D, especially when taken with calcium, significantly reduced abnormal mammograms. In fact they found women with the highest vitamin D intake had only one fourth as may abnormal densities on their mammogram as did women with the lowest intake. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2004 Sep;13(9):).

Leading vitamin D researchers are suggesting that the optimum adult level seems to be 4,000 daily units which is 20 times the government level for those 50 and under. The government says 2,000 is the limit for all ages before side-effects result. The researchers disagree and say amounts considerably above 2,000 units may be warranted when considering the multitude of potential benefits. (CBN News 10/1/2007).

Make sure you're taking D3. If the label says vitamin D2, then it's not the good kind of vitamin D. So often, you see orange juice or foods that say they're vitamin D fortified. But many times, those are fortified with D2. Vitamin D has to be taken with fat. Taking a vitamin D pill with orange juice isn't going to work, it won't absorb.

Finally, I've always thought that it's pretty significant that the parts of the body least exposed to the sun are more likely to experience a malignant melanoma.

But a new look at 528 melanoma victims over five years also found that increased sun exposure led to increased survivability, according to the study led by Marianne Berwick of the department of internal medicine at the University of New Mexico. "It's totally counterintuitive, and we're trying to investigate it," said Berwick, who is doing a similar study of 3,700 melanoma patients worldwide. "It's really strange, because sunburn seems to be one of the factors associated with improved survival." (The Baltimore Sun 2/2/2005).

The Budwig Center uses HLB (High-Resolution Blood) analysis as well as the SCIO testing. What is HLB? Well, most laboratories will magnify a blood sample up to 1,200 times and then work with these results.

However by using a HLB microscope we are able to magnify a fresh and a dry blood sample up to 20,000 times its normal size. Then we apply the 'darkfield diagnostic method' developed by Dr. Günther Enderlein of Germany. Darkfield diagnostics is a relatively new approach, which enables the health care professional to see what your body is lacking and the state of the illness. The darkfield blood test is usually done on the first day of your arrival at our clinic so we are able to determine which supplements are best suited for you. Also it gives us a very complete analysis of your current state of health and wellness. Would you like to see a picture of your blood and learn what it means? You will have that possibility during the Wellness course!

Perfect Blood Sample versus a Bad Blood Sample

Anti Cancer Diet - foods to avoid and foods to eat are discussed in the Cancer Support Training Manual that is part of the protocol. Several interesting recipes are included. Emphasis is also placed on the pH of the body.
