Breast cancer prevention is key
Breast cancer prevention
Posted
Linda McThrall, Special Publications Editor
Breast cancer awareness programs are primarily about early detection and treatment.
Dr. Susan Wadia-Ells is teaching people about preventing breast cancer. She was in Fountain Hills Wednesday, speaking about her new book, “Busting Breast Cancer,” and preventing breast cancer.
At a luncheon at the home of host Dr. Allyn Krieger-Fiedler, Wadia-Ells discussed some of her presentation with The Times.
“After considerable research, many studies show that the cause of breast cancer is metabolic,” she said.
The Metabolic Theory of Cancer, a theory published in 2012 by Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., comes from evidence that damage to the mitochondria is behind all cancers, Wadia-Ells explained. “Damaged mitochondria (power generators of a cell) produce cellular energy using a pathway which creates a micro-environment in which cancer cells thrive,” she said.
While the biological explanation is complex, Wadia-Ells has a relatively easy method to help prevent breast cancer.
According to Wadia-Ells, these five simple steps can keep breast cancer out of your body:
1) Avoid excess body fat, starch and sugary carbs.
2) Avoid chronic use of sunscreen and sunburns.
3) Avoid progestin drugs (birth control drugs and combination HRT).
4) Avoid mammography.
5) Avoid high stress.
While these steps seem radically different from current medical advice, Waldie-Ells cites five steps to replace those items to avoid:
1) Enjoy natural fats and green carbs.
2) Enjoy sunshine and vitamin D3 supplements.
3) Hormone-free contraception.
4) Breast self-exams, clinical exams or thermogram exams.
5) Daily stress reduction, using cannabis, clean foods, cosmetics and living environments.
Wadia-Ells explained these steps and more to two different audiences in Fountain Hills on Wednesday. She spoke to the Healthy Living Support Group and to attendees at a meeting at the Senior Center.
More information is available on her website, bustingbreastcancer.com. Her book is expected to be released in six to eight weeks. Details on the book release also are available on the website.
