Self-care for breast cancer prevention

I am suspicious of so-called charities that raise money for breast cancer because it seems to be all about the research for survival rather than teaching women about prevention.

This blog post by Dr Christiane Northrup provides the information we need to have healthy happy breasts!  After all, prevention is easier than survival.

Read the blog post here.

One of Dr Northrup’s recommendations is to supplement:

“Supplement! Take a comprehensive multivitamin/mineral supplement that is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, E, B-complex, D, beta-carotene is a must. (This means at least four pills per day.) Antioxidants help the cells in your breasts fight cellular inflammation, which can be a precursor to breast cancer.Get plenty of vitamin D. Studies show that women with optimal levels of vitamin D have a lower risk of breast cancer. Your vitamin D level should be at least 40 ng/ml. If it’s not, talk with your doctor and come up with the best strategy for raising your levels of this important nutrient. Be prepared to take up to 50,000 IUs per week until your levels are high enough and then 1,000–5,000 IUs per day after that.
