Cancer treatment

When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, I began to search everywhere to see how this might have happened to me. I researched any way I could to get information that could possibly help me. The internet was not developed at that time, so I began to read and ask questions. I was in the 85% of women who develop breast cancer when there is no known family history of the disease. I was 37 years old, so I had not had a baseline mammogram yet. For the first three months, the doctors were sure I would not live. I was sure that I would. One area of my research brought me to thinking about the role of diet and weight as related to breast cancer. I read about women who are obese and end up with a high level of estrogen in the body. The estrogen formed tumors that ended up being cancerous. I have always been a milk drinker. The estrogen from dairy products is now believed to have an effect on our body"s ability to fight off all types of disease. I had also been at least twenty pounds overweight for most of my life, starting as a child. I thought there might be a correlation. I have now given up all dairy products and eliminated other animal products as well. Cows, pigs, and chickens are regularly injected with antibiotics and hormones. I believe this will cause various diseases over time, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. There is now more research to substantiate all of this. I eat a vegan diet and use a cleanse every six weeks or so to rid my body of toxins. I believe there is a connection between the foods we eat, how overweight we are, and our risk for cancer. And now I invite you to learn more about a healthy diet that will cleanse your body of toxins by visiting http://www.FivePoundsAtATime.com to find out how to keep your body healthy and reduce your risk of disease.
