Avoiding Breast Cancer

Hi everyone, it's a pleasure to be here again. I had the honor of speaking last year and I'm just really grateful to have a chance to come back and share more of what my research has been revealing. I'm the author of a book calledHormone Heresy, What Women Must Know About Their Hormones.

And this book has resulted from the need to find out some of the issues happening for my hormonally challenged body. And out of the journey to find some solutions for myself about 8 years ago, I have actually changed my life. It has changed the course of my life.

So this is what I'd like to do, pull together some facts, figures, trends, dynamics that go back a long way.

The Statistics of Breast Cancer

So first of all, when it comes to breast cancer, this is what the American Cancer Society says.

In 1997, it said there are no practical ways to prevent breast cancer. Only early detection. In fact, the National Cancer Institute also said breast cancer is simply not a preventable disease. So the best they offer is early detection and we all know what that is; mammography. And then treatment, primarily with Tamoxifen. And since I continue to research, this is really the basis of Book 2. It's not available yet, so I have it here in a forum with my published articles. And one of them is on Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen, which is a standard of care for women
