No, that doesn?t mean you need to go outside and burn your bras. But you should probably wear it less than you think. Bras tend to raise the temperature of the breasts, and cancer thrives in higher temperatures than normal. Bras also restrict the natural flow of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and don?t allow the normal lymph-pumping action of natural breast movement. (See number 4).

2. Breathe

Well, you?re probably already doing this. But take a few minutes to breathe differently every day, and you?ll notice a world of difference. Deep, slow breaths from your abdomen will oxygenate your system, keeping your cells happy and avoiding the oxygen-starved environment that fosters the growth of cancer cells.

3. Don?t wear antiperspirants

“Eww gross”, you?re probably saying to yourself. Not wearing antiperspirants doesn?t automatically mean smelling like a horse, but it does mean staying away from the potentially cancer-causing aluminum that?s an ingredient in most products. (See here for my previous post on this).

4. Exercise

Remember when I mentioned the “lymph-pumping action” your breasts have in natural movement? If you don?t move a lot, they won?t do their job. The lymphatic system is a crucial component in the body?s immune response, and lymph (the disease fighting fluid in the system) isn?t pumped through your body like blood, but rather by the movement of your muscles.  Some lymph nodes reside in your armpits (where a good deal of women end up having breast cancer) and when you “bounce” you?re naturally pumping lymph from there into the rest of your body. And, of course, exercise will generally increase quality of life and allow you to live longer.

5. Stop being so stressed out!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 85% of all illness is caused by stress. Stop and think about that… then think about how often you live with that stress. Unfortunately, it?s next to impossible to live in today?s world without stress, but it is possible to find ways to deflect it or release it. One way is simply to find the time to do whatever it takes to get some rest and quiet (two essential ingredients to stress relief). Another way is to just say NO to all the commitments that clamor for your time. Be wise about how you manage your time, and you?ll find your stress levels will decrease.

• A recent study found that women who wear a bra 24 hours a day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetimes.
• Mammograms expose women to 1000 times the radiation output of a normal chest x-ray.
• Some small cancers (called ductal carcinoma in situ or DCIS) found in the breasts are aggressively treated when some pathologists don’t even call them cancer.

Most women pay little attention to their breasts unless there is a problem. The Secret of Health: Breast Wisdom by Ben Johnson, M.D., D.O., N.M.D. and Kathleen Barnes, changes that focus to breast health.

As an integrative cancer specialist, Dr. Ben Johnson has treated hundreds of  women with breast cancer.  The experience led him to seek ways to increase awareness of the directions women can take to keep their breasts healthy, thereby diminishing their risk of breast cancer and other breast diseases…

Dr. Johnson and his co-author, health writer Kathleen Barnes, have a unique approach to breast health that stems from the principles of the Law of Attraction as presented in the blockbuster movie, The Secret, in which Dr. Johnson appears.  The book expands on the Law of Attraction by adding the principles of quantum physics and cellular memory that show how deeply our emotions affect every cell in our bodies, causing wellness or illness.

The Secret of Health: Breast Wisdom is written to provide greater breadth and scope on maintaining healthy breast than other similar books.  Unlike other books that deal primarily with breast cancer, The Secret of Health: Breast Wisdom focuses on dietary and lifestyle choices that create breast health for women of all ages.

Dr. Johnson explains some of the principles used to bring about healing on the deepest possible levels:

“To put it in the simplest possible terms:  Your body, down to the individual cells, remembers and believes messages about you that may not be true.”

“These messages are lies.  They are untruths about how you relate to your world.  Somewhere along the line, you might have been told you were stupid, ugly or not good enough.  These messages may have come from your family, from society, even from generations past.”

The Secret of Health: Breast Wisdom offers ways to heal those toxic memories, to re-establish healthy communication between cells by eliminating all sorts of old  cellular memories based to help us learn on all levels to forge a sense of self-worth, something that many women are lacking.

Johnson, co-author with Kathleen Barnes, said modern medicine focuses on disease conditions rather than on means of creating health. “Nowhere in medicine is this as apparent as in breast health,” says Dr. Johnson.

The Secret of Health: Breast Wisdom is loaded with practical advice and personal anecdotes from both Barnes and Dr. Johnson about wearing bras, thermograms versus mammograms the healthiest diet, the best supplements and much more.

The Secret of Health: Breast Wisdom is available now on Amazon.com.

According to a report in the American Journal of Radiology, breast thermography has:

* 99% sensitivity
* 90% specificity
* 90 % accuracy

in detecting breast cancer in women under age 55

There is no other screening method that has as high of efficacy as breast thermography. The sensitivity for physical breast examinations (feeling for lumps) is 18%, mammography is 70% and MRI is 71%
