Empower yourself with facts and strategies to understand your breasts, reduce your cancer risk, and open your eyes to interventions and treatments. Most women don’t want to hear about breast cancer unless they have it and need to make some decisions, but these days news about breast cancer—the number one killer of women ages twenty to fifty-nine—is everywhere. Chances are you know someone who has had it. But did you know that choices you make every day bring you closer to breast cancer—or move you farther away? That there are ways to reduce your risk factors? And that many of the things you’ve heard regarding the causes of breast cancer are flat-out false? Based on Dr. Kristi Funk’s experience as a board-certified breast cancer surgeon, she knows for a fact that women have the power to reduce breast cancer risk in dramatic ways. Many women believe that family history and genetics determine who gets breast cancer, but that’s not true for most people. In fact, 87 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a single first-degree relative with breast cancer. This book will help you: Learn the breast-health basics that every woman should know Reduce your cancer risk and recurrence risk based on food choices and healthy lifestyle changes backed by rigorous scientific research Understand the controllable and uncontrollable risk factors for breast cancer Outline your medical choices if you're at elevated risk for or are already navigating life with breast cancer There have been few solid guidelines on how to improve your breast health, lower your risk of getting cancer, and make informed medical choices after treatment—until now. With her book available in 10 languages and in more than 30 countries, Dr. Funk is passionate about her mission of educating as many women as possible about what they can do to stop breast cancer before it starts.

Download or read book Your Life in Your Hands written by Jane Plant and published by Virgin Books Limited. This book was released on 2000 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One out of nine women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In fact, it is the second leading cause of cancer death for women (after lung cancer) and the leading overall cause of death in women between the ages of forty and fifty-five. For too long women have erroneously believed that there is little or nothing they can do to prevent this dread illness. Our major medical efforts are directed toward detecting and treating, rather than preventing, breast cancer. Professor Jane Plant, one of Britain's most eminent scientists, contracted breast cancer in 1987. She had five recurrences, and, by 1993, the cancer had spread to her lymph system. When orthodox medicine gave up and she was told that she only had three months to live, she determined to use her extensive scientific training and her knowledge of other cultures to find a way to survive. In her research, she was startled to find that in China breast cancer affects far fewer women than in Western countries. Plant considered that there could be a dietary trigger for the illness. As she continued her scientific investigations, she became convinced that there was a causal link between consumption of dairy products and breast cancer. Jane Plant finally defeated her breast cancer, in part because she used her training and knowledge as a natural scientist to understand it-- and then overcome it. Combining the diet her research had led to with traditional medical treatment, Professor Plant was not only able to triumph over her own disease but also to pass on what she had discovered to help more than sixty other women successfully fight their breast cancer. In this book, women will be presented for thefirst time with a compelling body of evidence strongly suggesting that consumption of dairy products may cause breast cancer. It will demonstrate the specific changes that women can make in their day-to-day lives to help prevent and treat breast cancer. With a clear statement of the scientific principles behind her discovery, Professor Plant includes detailed suggestions for ways to alter your diet by eliminating or reducing consumption of many suspected cancer-causing agents, especially dairy products, and replacing them with healthful alternatives. She offers as well detailed menus and recipes to help you make the transition and enjoy it. Your Life in Your Hands is a revolutionary book that will change the lives of millions of women.

Download or read book Beat Breast Cancer Daily written by Jane Turner and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer touches more lives than you may think. According to the World Health Organization, one out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. To Jane Turner, this isn't just a statistic. It's personal. After losing seven members of her family to cancer over the course of a decade, jane set out on a global quest to learn as much as he possibly could about cancer treatments and the medical industry that surrounds the disease. She has written this book to share what he's uncovered-some of which may shock you-and to give you new resources for coping with cancer in your life or the life of someone you love. As Jane shows, there are numerous techniques we may use to cure and prevent cancer that go much beyond chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery; we simply don't know about them. The Truth about Cancer dives into the history of medicine-all the way back to Hippocrates's creed of "do no harm"-as well as cutting-edge research revealing the success of dozens of unorthodox cancer therapies that are healing patients across the world. You'll learn about the politics of cancer; facts and misconceptions about its origins (a family history is just half of the picture); and the spectrum of instruments available to detect and treat it. If you're facing a cancer diagnosis right now, this book may help you and your health-care practitioner make decisions about your next actions. If you're already getting conventional therapy, it may help you sustain your health throughout the course of chemo or radiation. If you're a health-care practitioner and want to learn everything you can to aid your patients, it will extend your horizons and inspire you with genuine tales of effective recovery. And if you simply want to view cancer in a fresh perspective, it will open your eyes.
