							 his 
							question is basically addressed to women. Women that 
							are doing a meritorious job of determining the best 
							foods to put into their bodies. They are not only 
							determining which foods offer the most benefits 
							nutritionally, but which foods should be bypassed 
							due to toxins and pesticides and unknown chemicals 
							that the foods may carry with them from their 
							processing, storage, and preparation. 
							
							These women are already very aware 
							that these foreign items that end up in their food 
							chain can cause many problems with their health. I 
							am specifically speaking today about their breast 
							health. They already know these chemicals cause 
							breast cancer.  
							
							By making these good choices in what 
							they eat, they are minimizing their exposure to 
							foods that contain harmful chemicals. They also know 
							that they are subjected to chemicals in their 
							environment… in or on the food they eat, from the 
							containers their food may be purchased or stored in, 
							the clothes they wear, the fabric their clothes are 
							made from, the air they breath outside, the air they 
							breath from inside their automobile (including the 
							vinyl off-gassing from the upholstery), from the 
							plastic kitchen utensils they use every day, the 
							cosmetics they use… and so many other bad items in 
							their lives. One thing that they are aware of: they 
							are eliminating a lot of those toxins… but they will 
							never be able to avoid all of the chemicals that 
							they live with. 
							
							They still have another wave of 
							defense, inside their bodies… their marvelous 
							bodies, with their miraculous immune and lymphatic 
							systems… but are they ALLOWING their own bodies to 
							eliminate those chemicals that do get into their 
							bodies? Are the articles of clothing that they wear 
							through the day working to defeat their efforts 
							spent on making good food choices? 
							
							When those toxins and chemicals get 
							into their bodies, they may tend to accumulate in 
							various locations of their bodies, and if they are allowed to linger too long, those toxins and 
				chemicals will eventually start to affect their DNA in their 
				body cells. All cells in their bodies will duplicate and replace 
				themselves eventually, some in a matter of a few weeks and 
				others may be closer to replacing themselves once a year. Each 
				time each cell duplicates (that’s called mitosis if you 
				remember your high school biology), it makes a complete copy of 
				itself, including making a whole duplicate copy of its DNA. The 
				DNA is what tells that cell what it is, and what it does. It 
				gives the cell its identity and its instructions to do its 
				individual task in the body. A breast cell has DNA that says 
				that it is a breast cell, even if it is removed from the breast. 
				A pathologist can identify that cell as coming from a breast. 
				
				Breast Cancer is nothing more than a breast cell 
				that has had its DNA altered by some biological ‘accident’, 
				causing the cell to function in an errant manner. Even though it 
				is now known as a malignancy… a breast cancer cell, it can still 
				be identified as a breast cell. However, it no long acts as a 
				good breast cell should act. And these ‘accidents’ happen all 
				the time.  
				
				If a breast cancer cell leaves the mass (or 
				breast lump) in which it was developed, it will travel to 
				another location in the body… probably carried there by the 
				lymphatic fluids that circulate throughout the body. If that 
				breast cancer cell lodges in another organ, such as the lung, 
				then it is still breast cancer… in the lung. Even though it is a 
				breast cell (modified now), it is a malignant breast cell and it 
				will grow into a new mass in the lung. Once that cell moves to a 
				new location, that is referred to as it has metastasized, or 
				exhibiting the condition of metastasis. In lay terms… The 
				Cancer Is Spreading. 
				
				The toxins and chemicals and other negative items 
				actually enter our bodies and look for places to sit and hide 
				more than we know, but a healthy body with a healthy immune 
				system and an uncompromised lymphatic system usually will carry 
				that impurity all the way to one of many lymph nodes, and then 
				to other organs where it is removed, and rejected from the body 
				through perspiration, urine, or feces. It does not have a chance 
				to sit and cause trouble.  
				
				Why do women (and men) end up with breast cancer 
				cells in the first place? It is thought that when those toxins 
				and chemicals that got inside their skin (possibly ingested 
				through the mouth, or absorbed through the skin) got flushed 
				away by the lymphatic fluids, then the person did not end up 
				with cancer. But if the toxins found a place to lollygag and sit 
				still for a while, no matter where that is, the toxins were next 
				to developing cells, since the whole body is made up of cells 
				that duplicate themselves. When the cells duplicated… divided, 
				if the toxins and chemicals were present, they potentially could 
				have messed with the DNA, and when that new, duplicate cell was 
				born, the DNA of that ‘daughter’ cell may have been messed up. 
				That cell may now be a cancer cell. If the original cell that 
				divided was a breast cell, then the new, messed up version is 
				now a breast CANCER cell.  
				
				A breast cell with nothing changed but the 
				‘clock’ in its DNA that tells it when to divide (to make a new 
				cell to replace itself) is a breast cancer cell. A breast 
				cell that replicates itself too early (before the parent cell 
				has run it’s life-long course), causes a concentrated mass of 
				cells that disrupts the function of the organ in which it 
				resides. That is the definition of a malignant breast cell. 
				Breast Cancer! A spot in the breast is growing faster than the 
				surrounding breast tissue. That is why a lump can be felt, or a 
				bump can be seen on the surface of the breast. That is why women 
				are encouraged to do a good Breast Self-Examination (BSE). Learn 
				how to do that by reviewing this article:
				How To Do A Breast 
				Self-Exam 
				
				So why do some toxins sit and linger in the 
				breasts? They can sit and linger anywhere. It depends upon 
				whether something moves them on through, to its intended 
				destination or not. When blood needs to move, which is constant, 
				of course, a man and a woman have a heart to move the blood. A 
				pump. When lymphatic fluid needs to move (to carry away the 
				toxins and chemicals from within their breasts), there is no 
				‘heart’… no pump to do that. The movement of the fluids (and the 
				toxins) only happens if the person’s muscles and tissues flex 
				and move, forcing the lymphatic fluid to move through the 
				lymphatic vessels.  
				
				When women walk, their legs with their muscles 
				and fatty tissues move, and the lymphatic fluid in their legs is 
				moved along, clearing the cellular debris (as well as the toxins 
				that build up) from the legs. When they move their arms, the 
				same thing happens to the toxins and cellular debris in the 
				arms. No toxins build up in the legs and arms. 
				 
				
				Many chemicals and toxins love to reside in fatty 
				tissue. Where do we find a lot of a woman’s fatty tissue 
				located? In their breasts. Two-thirds of the average-sized 
				breast is fatty tissue. Toxins and chemicals love fatty tissues. 
				Toxins and chemicals move into their breasts. How do the toxins 
				and fluids get moved out of their breasts? When their breasts 
				move… maybe when they walk? Not when they walk downtown… wearing 
				a bra that is “guaranteed to control BREAST MOVEMENT!  Women 
				wear bras to lock their breasts up against their chests and to 
				not allow them to move. So, all day along, their breasts are not 
				moving, and the toxins, pesticides, plastics, PCEs, and every 
				other thing, are trapped in their breasts… next to the breast 
				tissues that are duplicating themselves. Onh, oh.  Bad mojo. 
				
				In a nutshell: These women do all of this effort 
				to minimize what goes into their bodies that may be harmful, but 
				some will always get past their screen of defense. If it does, 
				her body is equipped to handle some toxins… unless she 
				compromises her body’s abilities to compensate for those toxins. 
				That is what happens when she wears a bra that prevents her 
				breasts from flushing out those toxins that accumulate in her 
				breast tissues. 
				
				Bodies were designed before clothes were 
				designed. Breasts were designed to move. There must be a reason 
				they were designed to move. Now, we know. Breasts are supposed 
				to move so that they can force the lymphatic fluids to flow 
				through, flushing out any toxins and accumulated chemicals that 
				may find their way into her breast tissue.  
				
				Solution: Women should ask themselves just why 
				they are wearing the bra! Does their supervisor at work require 
				it? Is it because mom wore one? Who told mom that she needed 
				one? A sales lady? Back when bras were first invented… just 
				about a century ago actually… and by a woman no less… someone 
				had to really “sell” women on the idea of buying them… and 
				wearing one.  
				
				Women have allowed the general public to direct 
				them to wear bras for any number of reasons, but one thing is 
				sure. By wearing the bras, they are now one hundred twenty-five 
				times more likely to develop breast cancer in their lifetime.1 
				
				Many women wear a bra because they feel they will 
				be ‘judged’ harshly by others for not wearing one. Those same 
				women don’t let others tell them what foods to buy. They have 
				insisted on having good, wholesome, food, for themselves and 
				their families. They have not let others tell them that “regular 
				produce in the market is ‘just as good’” because they simply 
				know better. So, are they going to let others tell them “Wearing 
				a bra is what you SHOULD do, because “EVERYONE” wears a bra.” Of 
				course, over 250,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer 
				last year… and another 250K the year before that.2 
				And how many of them were wearing a bra for the last decade or 
				two? 
				
				Women that have gone “against the norm” and 
				bought ‘organically grown’ produce have had better health. These 
				women are convinced their wise choices are a large part of why 
				that is true. That is why they are paying $4.50 for a bell 
				pepper, right? Well, women that have elected not to wear bras 
				all the time are reaping the benefits of their decision 
				as well. They are not worrying about what others will say about 
				how they are dressed… they are more concerned about not being in 
				that group of women that will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
				 
				
				When a woman makes good decisions about what to 
				eat, she eliminates a lot of possible troubles that may come 
				later, regarding her breast health. But the problem is that SOME 
				of those bad chemicals and toxins will still get into her 
				system. And after being so diligent about what she eats, it 
				would be terrible to know that the bra is working against her, 
				serving as a trap, holding toxins in her breasts, causing breast 
				cancer. That sort of defeats all of her care she has taken up to 
				that point. 
				
				OK, who says that they have any better chance of 
				avoiding breast cancer if they don’t wear a bra? We already know 
				that we are all going to have to deal with junk in the 
				atmosphere and in the fabric of our clothes and just taking a 
				drink from a plastic bottle of water, so who says taking off the 
				bra will be any better? Well, there are quite a few people 
				telling us this, all the time. Here is an article that shows 
				just some of the articles and websites on the internet that are 
				advising women to take off their bra when doing a Google Search 
				about not wearing a bra:
				More & More Experts 
				Agree: Wearing A Bra Causes Breast Problems 
				
				The issue of a connection between wearing a bra 
				and having a higher risk of getting breast cancer was brought to 
				everyone’s attention by two medical anthropologists named Sydney 
				Singer and Soma Grismaijer, who surveyed about 4,600 women, some 
				with a history of breast cancer and some without, and found that 
				women that wear their bra twenty-four hours a day (that means 
				she wears it to bed too) are 125 times more likely to be 
				diagnosed with breast cancer than a woman that never wears a bra 
				will be. 1
				(Dressed To Kill, pg 135.) 
				
				There have been several studies done in other 
				countries since the Bras and Breast Cancer survey (BBC) by 
				Singer/Grismaijer, and they have shown similar results. 
				Basically, they have all supported the findings of the BBC 
				study. Every study that has been done since this first one has 
				supported the original findings. Not one single study has been 
				done that did not support their findings. How many more times do 
				the researchers have to tell us… show us… warn us… that a bra 
				causes damage to our breasts, before we start to believe them?
				 
				
				How many times did the researchers show us that 
				cigarette smoking had an influence over lung cancer before the 
				public accepted the truth? It was well over three decades, and 
				some people are still not convinced. Will it take that long to 
				believe what the experts tell us about the link between bras and 
				breast cancer?  
				
				One thing about this question: You can always 
				leave off the bra… even if you still wear it to work, try to 
				keep it under 8 hours total for the day, and you will soon be 
				leaving it off much longer than that. You don’t have to wait for 
				any governmental agency or cancer organization to tell you to 
				take off your bra… that is your choice… today. Obviously, you 
				will not be able to see the results of your lowered risk of 
				breast cancer in a few months, but you will find that your 
				breasts are so much more comfortable without the bra, and you 
				won’t have those red welts on your breasts and your back in the 
				evening. You will also notice some restoration of your breast 
				lift after a few months. Your breasts’ support system will 
				actually get back to work. And large-breasted women report that 
				their back stops hurting as well.  
				
				Yes, there are organizations that SHOULD know the 
				truth about breast cancer (at least the name of the 
				organizations suggest that they should) that tell us “there is 
				no real proof that bras cause cancer”, but before you accept 
				their word as final, ask yourself these questions: Does this 
				organization manufacture or sell bras? Does this organization 
				accept donations from bra manufacturers or bra sales outlets? 
				Has this organization actually done any testing to learn the 
				truth?  
				
				We know the answer to that last question… no 
				testing has been done by anyone that shows there is NOT a 
				connection between bras and breast cancer. They only blindly 
				refute the results of the legitimate studies without doing any 
				studies themselves. 
				
				There is no question that a woman who consumes 
				organically-grown food is an intelligent person. She is always 
				making conscious decisions as to what foods she is eating. So, 
				the question is whether she has thought about how to prevent the 
				toxins and chemicals that she cannot help but to consume from 
				causing her to lose her breasts or her life to breast cancer. 
				Hopefully she will remember: One hundred twenty-five women that 
				wear a bra will get breast cancer before ONE that never wears a 
				bra will get breast cancer. That is simple logic that she cannot 
				afford to ignore.  
				
				So, hopefully she will continue to eat 
				organically, but she will think about dressing ‘organically’ as 
				well.  - - - - - - | | | | | | - - - - - -   |
