Breast Cancer Prevention: 10 Things You Didn't Know?

Breast cancer prevention is a very important and often misunderstood concept. There are things that increase your risk, and there are things you can do to prevent breast cancer from occurring. The more you know and the more you try, the lower your breast cancer risk can be.
Breast cancer, like many other cancers, grows and thrives in certain body conditions, and has trouble surviving in other bodily conditions. If you know which actions are cancer-preventative, you can strengthen your breast cancer prevention strategies.

After having breast pain I visited a breast clinic, they found a lump that they wanted to needle to get a biopsy. I was advised to not do the needling and go to another Radiographer professor but I had to wait 2 months to see him. So while I waited I stopped all carbs and sugar, and only ate a huge leafy green fatty (with coconut oil or olive oil) salad in the mornings, Weight fell off me, my pain disappeared. By the time I got to the professor he couldn't find any lumps.

Thankfully it was caught early and refused chemotherapy. As a result I lost over a hundred pounds, lift weights and normalized my blood pressure. I also practice intermittent fasting. Going into my fourth year of survivorship. It's the best I felt in decades. Looking back eating all that junk was not worth it in the end.

Agreed. Carbs and sugars have to be the number one dietary factor, plus of course excessive refined omega 6 oils. These two factors generate huge levels of inflammation. To think these foods have been so heavily promoted by so called nutritionists at major health institutions over the decades, and are still being promoted today as healthy!

[@Vitatalks]

@frostekWhy? People have been eating excess carbs for decades, correlating with an enormous increase in diabetes & obesity, I'd guess not a coincidence. Starch turns to glucose whereupon it is absorbed in the small intestine. Starch is just like sugar. However, sugar contains fructose which could be even worse! Fibre is non-essential, and no strong evidence exists for health benefits related to it's consumption - There are no randomised controlled trials to that effect.

[@robinbeers6689]

Breast cancer survivor here thinking more about preventing recurrences. I eat carnivore OMAD so that covers the no sugar, no grains, no seed oils, no booze rules plus the fasting advice. I have never smoked, have an excellent waist/height rations, and am fairly active (I know I could do better on this), and I'm careful about plastics. I never had children and I like it that way. Is he saying that having a kid and breastfeeding is beneficial or that, IF you are going to have a kid, do it earlier in life? I was on BC pills for 15 years. When you talked about hormones, you neglected to mention the dietary estrogens such as soy. I am convinced my case was down to the pills plus lots of soy milk and tofu back in my misinformed vegetarian phase.

Didn't drink alcohol, didn't smoke, was a fit person, rode my push bike, went to gym, was a still water rower, ate healthy and yeah, I mean healthy, no sweet shit a home cooker, and yeah, was still diagnosed with breast cancer six years ago...so it was a huge shock and wild card for me. The cancer I had was non hormonal, and no history of it in my family. I would say I had a very stressful life, which I have worked on. And I feel chronic stress is overlooked. Cancer is a non discriminating disease, we don't know why it hits or why it chooses the people it does, but it's random. These points are good, but don't apply to all. There's a bit of a danger here, because some people tend to point the finger at diagnosed patients and say you did something to cause the cancer. And that is very distressing to some one fighting for their lives. Some very healthy people get cancer. It's hard to fight BECAUSE we DON'T know what the ACTUAL cause is, and who ever really discovers the cause will be flipping famous. And before anyone rouses on me, I've been there and I've heard it all before. And what grows cancer in a petri dish isn't the same as growing it in human tissue.

[@birkit1133]

Dr Berry made a whole video on iodine. You are right, but iodine & thyroid is a tricky topic, since it's quite complex. Some ppl will take iodine for Hashimoto's, eg., and it will cause their symptoms to worsen (hair falling out, dry skin, heart palpitations, achy joints, etc) because Hashimotos is an autoimmune condition, not just low iodine, so that has to be fixed first. I agree that iodine is important, too. I have added it to my daily electrolyte regimen myself. But I'm careful about promoting it carte blanche to everyone. People need to research that very thoroughly and learn about synergistic nutrients, bromide detox symptoms, and how to prevent detox also, before just throwing in the Lugol's to their daily routine.

@@birkit1133 Yes, you are right Birkit. That's probably the reason why. I was just thinking of breast health, Glad you reminded me of this. I have hypothyroidism, and tolerate iodine well, but that doesn't mean that others can. As you said, it's tricky.

With 80 ng/ml the cancer risk is most probably reduced by even 80%.

[@DarkMoonDroid]

So, I had none of these factors in my life except grains and oils. I realize they're at the top of the list, but considering how fit I was and how much of a health nut - I'm going to suggest that you've missed something: *CHRONIC STRESS CHEMICALS* My body has been on a steady diet of Cortisol since I was in the womb. It's normal for me. This too is epigenetic. You didn't mention caffeine, but caffeine triggers the Stress Chemicals. You also didn't mention Inflammation, but chronic pain triggers the Stress Chemicals. I don't really know about any studies. But I know what I've lived with. And I think this is what did me in. I'm doing Chemo right now for BC. How the heck am I going to convince any Doctor to let me take bio-identical hormones? I'm 57 and Menopause has destroyed my body! After I kick Cancer to the curb, I'd like to find something I can take to maintain my bones and muscles and collagen levels. I had no idea there was an option! I even asked my Gen-Prac about this and she got mad at me for even asking. This is infuriating! I've already lost so much ... I used to be so fit and tight and it's all gone.

When I added broccoli to my diet for six years straight, and had just rice and lean chicken breast with it, eating broccoli daily, I developed fibrocystic breast issues. Doctors shrugged saying “oh well,” “nothing you can do since it had to do with age” or “it’s not preventable” and “it could turn into cancer so keep an eye on it” and “eat more veggies and grains and keep your fat intake low!” Good grief! Then 7,…actually it’s been 8 months almost now since I discovered you, Dr. Baker, and Dr. Chaffee, as well as Dr. Sally Norton and learned about the carnivore diet and switched to a zero carb (no more plants) and meat only diet! I informed my gyno of what I am doing and informed her my fibrocystic masses are shrinking, and it’s about one left but so very small since I have been on the carnivore diet! I feel cruciferous veggies ruin the thyroid since I learned those veggies block natural iodine in foods! And all your organs need that, including breasts! That disruption causes the hormone imbalances and from there a whole slue of health problems, including fibrocystic breasts and cysts! So I hope more ladies stop eating those! They are so bad for humans, ruins thyroid on men and ladies! Thank you again Dr. Baker for this video. Ladies really appreciate it as we don’t get any info from our gynos on this. They have no clue what causes it! And honestly, I truly feel the mamogram machines should be added to the list of what causes breast cancer! They damage tissue when they smash down those plates on either side of a breast, holds, then continues over and over in different angles causing extreme pain no matter what size they are! And they say cancer cells like damaged cells! So from there they could develop there in the damaged smashed breast cells, especially if anyone is doing any of the 12 tips you said not to do! Those just add to the problem of getting breast cancer. Mammogram are usually wrong in diagnostic and then they do a safe yet higher tech ultrasound . Mammograms can’t see in layers like an ultra sound, and now that most ladies are getting cysts and firbocystic issues from eating plants, the mammogram machine can’t see if cancer is even there due to the other things like fibrocystic masses and cysts. There is no point in a mammogram! Honestly a study needs to be done on ladies getting damage from mammograms and false results! I tried getting a mammogram once even though I was extremely suspicious it could cause serious damage to my chest! After the pain was over I said, “nope, done with them!” Eating carnivore from now on, zero carb too, for 8 months! If anything is in there hopefully it shrinks! Haven’t felt but little fibrocystic masses getting smaller so that’s good! No more pain, no major lumpiness! No swelling! But no more mammograms. The only thing I will agree to do is an ultrasound! Those are accurately checking in layers and can tell if there is anything to worry about! The mammogram machines need to be trashed! Sorry, but it is a sensitive topic to me! After experiencing it once, and noticing danger and patterns, I thought, “wow, how is that machine legal to use! That could cause some serious damage! If you have a cancer cell how do you know it won’t get ruptured from the pressure and then cancer spreads all over!! It could rupture cysts! Or like me with fibrocystic chest, you can’t see anything anyways so it is not worth the pain and damage!” They had to use an ultrasound machine on me after the mammogram! That was the only way they could tell if my fibrocystic masses were non cancerous, and my cysts. Very sad they still use mammograms! Needs to be illegal!

Hi Jennifer… I appreciate your remarks and I feel the same way about the mammogram machines that caused great pain..and unfortunately when I first took it, they detected some calcification, and wanted to see me again; It took me three months to go back- unfortunately again .. I got another one.. now I’m being told that there’s suspicious activity for cancer… after having the ultrasound as well- and they want to do a biopsy-so you know I’m terrified .. I don’t want to ever get a mammogram again and I don’t really know what to do. Personally .. I feel like the pain does start when you first get the procedure from the mammogram bc I had never had any pain otherwise.. I further believe it trigger the “ so - called suspicious looking activity for cancer. God help me to have faith and courage that he’ll deliver me from all of this madness and dis- EASE… that is occurring in my one breast.. after some fasting and stop eating sugar recently for the most part.. using honey and keto sugar.. that’s it.. the lump feels smaller.. All Praises to My Lord Jesus and Father God Yahweh.. thnk you for the encouragement..

[@JennifertxCarnivore]

@@lisag2627 I say go zero carb (no plant based foods at all) and carnivore! Give it some time. I bet all that would disappear! Are you taking any calcium supplements as well!? What plants have you been eating? Please let us know! People are reversing their cancer with zero carb carnivore! Cancer feeds on sugars and if you remove the heavily sugar plant based foods (all plants have sugar- due to photosynthesis) then cancer sells starve! And stay away from honey too- as it is packed with sugars!

[@user-yf6cd9bb8t]

I think the only reason those machines are still around is because there is so much money to be made. Everything they say us a lie, but they won't be honest. "Mammograms save lives." It might save your life, it is just as likely that you will be overdiagnosed and overtreated. They don't tell you that cancer treatment can cause serious health problems. They do not tell you that cancer treatment can stop the cancer, but you can die a few years later from the treatment. My mom died from the radiation treatment. They do not tell you that some cancers do not grow and will not kill you, but they can't tell which ones. So, some women are going in to get mammograms, getting diagnosed with a cancer that would never kill them, getting cancer treatment, dying from the cancer treatment. So, what they are not telling their patients is that a mammogram could inadvertently lead to an unnecessary death through unnecessary cancer treatment. Mammograms lull women into a false sense of safety. The mammogram industry does not tell them that the mammogram can be normal, yet they can still have cancer. (Which also happened to my mom, because the cancer was so high on her chest.) This false sense of security may lead women to stop doing self exams, which is more important than manmograms. Some women even believe that getting mammograms stops cancer from forming. They are so misinformed, that they believe it is a treatment to stop cancer from happening. "And that is why it is so important that you get your mammograms. so you don't ever get cancer." My misinformed friend thought she informed me.

[@tumbleweeduk7479]

This is very helpful but misses two important points in my opinion but I am not medically qualified. I believe that antiperspirant and deodorant are not beneficial for breasts and therefore I use a salt crystal roll-on, which is very efficient and does not damage clothing. I also heard that the metal in wired bras is not good for breast tissue? I do not have breast scans because I believe the pressure is damaging and the radiation will spread anything there because as far as I know the body will deal with any small growths and cysts on its own so detection of these leads to unnecessary surgery. I am not medically qualified but I did cure my bladder and pancreatic cancer with colonics, diet and homeopathy. I am healthy , aged 75 and have not had a drug for forty years. Namaste 🙏

You might want to consider food and environmental allergies. Our food has been manipulated and there are more chemicals in our lives than ever before in history. Dr. Keith Scott- Mumby was at the forefront of studying the effects of food and environmental allergies back in the 1970s. He wrote a fascinating book titled "Diet Wise". Along with telling some of the stories of his patient's, he also gives instructions for determining one's own allergens. He still maintains that the tests used by most allergy docs, is not very effective at all. Who the heck wants to be on lifelong medication and still be miserable? Get to the root of the problem and address it. I was so impressed with the book, that I bought 25 of them, to give to people who were struggling with allergy issues. I wish you well, whatever you choose to do.
