Jan 7th Busting Breast Cancer Briefings at Sunbanque Locations
“Breast Cancer has now become an unnecessary disease”, according to Susan Wadia-Ells, founding director of the National Breast Cancer Prevention Project.
On Saturday January 7th , Wadia-Ells of Manchester, MA, will discuss research on why: higher levels of Vitamin D3; avoiding contraceptive drugs; having an annual thermogram and changing your diet, can virtually eliminate your ability to develop breast cancer tumors.
Saturday’s briefings will take place at the Sunbanque Tanning Salons as follows:
11:00 am 156 Prospect Streeet, Gloucester – Tel. 978-281-4442
1:00 pm Enon Street / Route 1A, Super Stop & Shop Plaza, North Beverly – Tel. 978-712-4821
3:00 pm 595 Chickering Road (Route 125/33), North Andover – Tel. 978-685-7786
So much of what we teach women, regarding how to stop breast cancer before it starts, goes against everything Americans have been told by commercial sunblock advertising and by pharmaceutical companies, said Wadia-Ells. For example, women are shocked to find that using safe year-round tanning and stopping contraceptive drugs, no matter what your age, will help reduce your risk of developing breast cancer.
Know Breast Cancer’s website and Wadia-Ells’ forthcoming book explain that the most significant way to help stop breast cancer from happening, is to raise your vitamin D3 blood level. This is best done by allowing the sun to slowly and safely tan your skin, all year round. In Massachusetts this means that every woman, with a skin type that can tan, needs to spend time in the summer sun, without any sun block, for short periods of time as UVB rays activate enough melanin to create a natural protective tan. Using short but regular amounts of indoor tanning time from September through May enables the body to continue making vitamin D3 year-round. Taking Vitamin D3 supplements is a slower but effective way to help raise and maintain optimal D3 blood levels of 60 ng/ml-80 ng/ml .
“Everything we will share with women at Saturday’s briefing is backed up by objective, professional and long standing research,” said Wadia-Ells. Participants at Saturday’s free briefing will also receive copies of recent studies linking year-round tanning with lower breast cancer rates, how to begin to enjoy a cancer-blocking daily diet, and why using contraceptive drugs can increase your risk of developing breast cancer, especially if you are over 40 years old. A list of thermography services north of Boston, will also be available.
“Holding this information session at Sunbanque, will help women understand that Know Breast Cancer is serious about encouraging women to learn how to develop and benefit from safe year-round tanning and how to choose non-toxic sun block products,” said Wadia-Ells.
Inflammation can cause breast cancer; switch it off with low-hormone foods and supplements
May 18, 2011 Did you know that inflammation in the breast has been linked to the development and progression of breast cancer?
In the December 15, 2010 issue of Cancer Research, scientists say they can now definitively show that an inflammatory process within the breast itself can promote the growth of stem cells responsible for tumor development.
Their research also demonstrated that lowering this inflammation within the breast, actually reduced stem cell activity and stopped breast cancer from forming. (www.physorg.com/news/2010-12-breast-inflammation-key-cancer-growth.html)
So, how can we prevent and/ or reduce this inflammation which can lead to breast cancer?
1. Eat a plant based diet (lots of fruits & vegetables) Eat no-hormone meats, and seafood such as wild salmon as side dishes only. Add lots of whole grains and limit sugar; limit your non-fermented dairy (milk, butter, ice cream)… watch yourself lose that excess body fat!
2. Add EFA’s (essential fatty acids) to your diet. These include Omega 3, which is not as easily found in our diets. (try a fish oil or flaxseed oil supplement). A nice listing of many EFA’s foods can be found on the WomentoWomen website here…..oh….and lose excess body fat.
3. Avoid certain foods known to cause inflammation such as hydrogenated oils, sugar, caffeine, gluten and processed foods, just to name a few……..and lose your excess body fat.
4. Exercise Regularly…and get rid of your excess body fat.
5. Get plenty of sleep. (Aww, don’t we all wish to have a good night’s sleep – the almighty elixir?)………and that will help you lose your excess body fat.

Want to know if you currently have inflammation in your breasts or in other parts of your body?
We recommend you have a thermogram! Check out our next post for…..what our current day “breast health” centers don’t offer us… safe radiation-free thermography!!!!
New Vitamin D3 mouse study smells fishy
Millions of dollars are again being spent to scare the public away from taking effective level of vitamin D3 supplements, that can block the development of invasive breast cancer in U.S. women.
Last summer Big Pharma sponsored a Vitamin D3 report by experts, most of whom currently received significant income from pharmaceutical companies, that ignored twenty years of solid research on the many benefits enjoyed by Americans taking much much higher levels of vitamin D3. Using the Institute of Medicine, a pharmaceutical-industry funded organization, the July 2010 report urged Americans to limit their intake of Vitamin D3 to 1,000 IUs or less per day.
Now someone is paying big bucks to publicize a small mouse study out of Georgetown University Hospital, that mentions how high levels of vitamin D3… although clearly helpful in stopping most types of breast cancer, was not helpful for skinny mice who were “pre-destined” to develop one type of estrogen negative breast cancer. This.. after feeding the poor mice 15,000 IUs or more of vitamin D3 a day!
It will be important to see what leading Vitamin D3 researcher at University of California’s Moores Cancer Center or their education organization Grassroots Health, or the Vitamin D Council, or researchers at Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research or the well-respected Vitamin D researcher, Dr Michael Holick, at Boston University has to say about this latest publicity effort to limit Americans’ intake of this inexpensive food supplement that can help stop breast and colon cancer and many other conditions before they start. See Dr Cedric Garland’s video on how higher levels of vitamin D3 protects against these types of cancers in humans.
Remember… as more and more Americans use adequate levels of inexpensive Vitamin D3 supplements to protect ourselves from breast and colon cancers, the pharmaceutical companies lose billions of dollars each year in chemotherapy sales.

U. S. Breast Cancer Epidemic Hitting Young Moms and Other Women of Childbearing Age
In 2009, about 62,520 women of childbearing age in the United States were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. This is a whopping 41% increase from 2001, when approximately 44, 300 women of childbearing age were reportedly diagnosed with the disease, according to recent American Cancer Society statistics.
These younger American women are being hit with triple negative, HER2 positive and estrogen positive breast cancers; diseases that usually maim, sometimes kill and often bankrupt a woman’s current and future financial situation.
In recent years young media leaders and celebrities have shared their personal breast cancer diagnoses, including Fox News political reporter Jennifer Griffin (triple negative); ABC’s Good Morning America host, Robin Roberts (triple negative); National Public Radio’s Tavis Smiley Show Executive Producer, Sheryl Flowers, who died from triple negative breast cancer in 2009 at the age of 42, folksinger Melissa Ethridge (HER2 positive) and film star, Christina Applegate.
Why is this new epidemic happening to our younger women? How can younger women help stop breast cancer from happening to them ever… or never again?

Taking Tamoxifen or using birth control drugs can increase risk of triple negative breast cancer 4-fold
May 6, 2010
Manchester by the Sea, MA
A woman’s risk of developing aggressive triple negative breast cancer seems to increase 4- fold for individuals who are either taking birth control drugs or are taking the breast cancer drug, Tamoxifen.
Both pieces of research out of the Seattle- based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and published in different scientific journals in 2009, include important facts for women who are currently using either of these drugs, or considering the use of either drug.
Unfortunately neither the American Cancer Society, nor Susan G. Komen for the Cure have yet to mention either of these recent and alarming studies on their websites as of May 7, 2010.
WHY??
If the American Cancer Society is considered by many to be our unofficial national cancer prevention organization ; if Susan G Komen is considered to be our leading national non profit on breast cancer education, why isn’t either group sounding an alarm about using birth control drugs or using Tamoxifen?
A possible answer: Pharmaceutical companies that make billions from contraceptive drugs and billions from the sale of Tamoxifen, also give hundreds of millions to the American Cancer Society and to Komen each year. Perhaps, these non-profits are unwilling to bite the hands that feed them.
Meanwhile, American women are left vulnerable for developing triple negative breast cancer as this fast growing type of breast disease is now rapidly increasing across the United States.
Triple Negative now represents 15% to 20% of all new invasive breast cancer diagnoses, striking younger women more often than older women and striking a disproportionate number of younger black women compared to white women.

Thinking of Sara Palin and Breast Health Centers…or..”Why our hospitals don’t talk about real or natural breast cancer prevention
January 5, 2010
Manchester by the Sea, MA
Our local Breast ” Health” Centers, located in medical centers, community hospitals and free-standing clinics around the U.S., currently do next to nothing about educating women on how to keep our breasts naturally healthy.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but as Sara says, “It’s still a pig.”
Breast “Health” Centers are currently breast cancer diagnostic centers; places where women are given screening x-rays and possibly more diagnostic x-rays in the form of mammograms or MRIs with toxic dyes, along with needle aspirations, and lumpectomies.
But real breast health is something different. Now that we know so much more about how breast cancer begins or grows; now that we know so much more about how to actually limit the number of women who ever develop breast cancer; it’s time for medical centers to also set up real Breast Health Centers or real Breast Cancer Prevention Centers.
Real or natural breast cancer prevention is no longer rocket science; getting the word out to women seems to be a more difficult task.
Here is a sampling of what real Breast Health Centers could offer women today:
- A blood test to determine your vitamin D3 levels with info sessions on how much vitamin D3 and calcium supplements you should be taking every day to gradually reach the new recommended level of 60-80 ng/ml of vitamin D3 in your blood serum levels.
For more info on how 60-89 ng/ml of vitamin D3 can amazingly block the first stage of breast cancer development, go to Easy Way #1 at www.knowbreastcancer.net
- Individualized birth control counseling for women over 40, to help you switch off of birth control pills, patches, rings and estrogen-based IUDs. Women in their 40′s, who still use these drugs, significantly raise their risk of developing aggressive estrogen negative breast cancers.
To see some of the research showing that contraceptive drugs are considered unsafe for women over 40 years of age, go to Easy Way #3 at www.knowbreastcancer.net
- Cooking classes for women who want to include dairy-free recipes and other breast cancer-protecting foods, such as Japanese miso and fermented black beans in their families’ daily meals. The Japanese and Chinese, with their dairy-free diets and numerous fermented soy dishes, have one third the breast cancer rates of North American and Northern European women!
For more info on how organic fermented soy foods can be more effective and safer than taking Tamoxifen or Arimidex, see Easy Way #6 at www.knowbreastcancer.net
- Education groups for women who want to put less alcohol, less nicotine and less sugar into their bodies each day. This is obviously not an easy task, but offering such support under the label of breast cancer prevention, will take some of the stigma out of treating these dangerous lifestyles. Using one or more of these toxins every day can triple a woman’s risk level if trying to avoid a second breast cancer diagnosis. Carrying twenty extra pounds of fat can double any older woman’s risk of developing invasive breast cancer. Also heavy drinking and/or any level of smoking appear to cancel out any protection offered from Vitamin D3 supplementation.
For the latest research on alcohol, smoking, excess body fat and increased breast cancer risk levels, go to Easy Way #7 at www.knowbreastcancer.net
This is all pretty sobering, exciting and hopeful info, but sadly don’t expect our local medical centers to open up any real Breast Health Centers any day soon.
Why not??!
A real or natural Breast Health Center is a low-tech, low-profit service, geared to decreasing the number of community women who will ever develop breast cancer. For these two reasons alone, medical centers do not believe it is in their financial self interest to create such centers.
Remember… most non-profit and for-profit medical centers and clinics operate as for-profit corporations. Executives are often paid a six or seven figure income when they are able to snuff out competing medical centers, recruit more cancer patients, and continue to offer highly profitable medical services to these individuals until they die.
Until we have a health care system that is detached from any profit motives (such as your local fire department is) where people’s health (your burning home) comes before corporate profits, medical centers will never be interested in sponsoring real breast health centers.

The Truth:Soy Prevents Breast Cancer
I know this is called Breast Cancer Awareness Month..so let’s be aware about the benefits of eating fermented soy a few times a week if you want to help prevent breast cancer.. or a recurrence of breast cancer.
Two recent landmark studies of Chinese women and one of Asian American women illustrated how women who eat fermented soy foods can decrease their risk of developing breast cancer by 59%. This is an astounding figure!!
Remember.. those who recommend you take a toxic drug to prevent breast cancer.. and warn you away from merely eating fermented organic soy.. are usually making money each time you purchase your monthly supply of these drugs.. or they receive million dollar grants from the drug companies who sell these breast cancer drugs.
Too many folks are interested in breast cancer awareness… for the big money they can make from unsuspecting patients.
So just ignore the scare tactics of the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen and other commercially- funded breast cancer organizations when it comes to eating soy. Remember that we are talking about fermented organic soy foods and this is solid research supporting adding fermented soy to your diet today.
Women who eat fermented organic soy products, such as miso soup and tempest stir drys, a number of times each week will find that they will not want to take those toxic drugs tamoxifen or arimidex.
Here are links to three recent articles on this subject I recently researched and wrote for my bi-weekly Honest Health Column, currently carried by the Gloucester (MA) Daily Times.
Please send your comments. Let’s get a good discussion going on this very important topic.

You can also read these articles at Know Breast Cancer”s website.. www.knowbreastcancer.net
Meanwhile .. take a look at Dr. Colin Campbell’s 2004 book, The China Study to learn why fermented soy is hands down better than popping tamoxifen et al.
And if your bank account has a few extra $$$$ in it, take yourself to Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts for a week or a weekend and learn how to keep your body’s estrogen levels nice and low.. by eating fermented soy, instead of popping an arimidex each day.
