Breast Cancer and Diet

Breast cancer attacks one in eight women. It is a cancerous tumor, firm lump that "never" goes away. It is usually pain free. The vast majority of breast lumps are not cancerous. Lumps that do not move may be caused by normal fibrocystic changes during the menstrual cycle. It is thought that estrogen plays a role as it promotes cellular growth in the breasts and reproductive organs. Cancer is a disorder of unrestrained cellular growth. Other factors may include early menstruation prior to age 10, and menopause after age 55. It is most common in woman over forty.
Breast cancer, like most cancers, comes in the form of a tumor. All tumors are blood, protein and fat rich. Protein and fat build and fuel tumors, cancer in addition to bones, organs, hair, nails, teeth, etc. The other nutrients, water, sugar, minerals, etc. reduce cleanse, cool and moisten. No one has ever developed cancer from eating too many fruits, vegetables and grains. This is higher in America, Argentina and all other countries that tend to be high protein, high fat, especially red meat, eggs, chicken, etc. It is lower in the poorer countries that tend to eat more rice and vegetables than protein and fat.
Cancer is a disorder of unrestrained cellular growth. As a tumor it is fed, nourished by blood, protein and fat. Its growth can be accelerated by too much protein and fat, especially animal that is hormonally treated, with growth hormones. It can also be accelerated by estrogen. Estrogen is growth hormone. It is also stimulated by protein and fat, as well as growth hormones. Hormone free red meat, eggs, poultry, turkey, etc. is available. Estrogen supplements can also be a cause.
Caffeine is a known breast irritant. It is an accelerant, stimulant drug, as is smoking, tobacco and alcohol. Unrestrained growth is fire out of control. Coffee, tobacco and alcohol are fire out of control, and should be limited.
While there is "no cure for cancer" there is always a beginning and end. Cancer in tumor form can be starved via low protein, low fat (vegetarian), grains, cooked vegetables, spices, fruit and herbs. Essiac Tea is one herbal combination that has been successful; however the success is limited to the individual as it generally takes more change than drinking tea to cure breast or any other cancer. If you stop feeding it, it will die. Don't do anything rash. Check with your doctor first. Most are harmless cysts. Cysts are abnormal fluid filled sacs found commonly in the breasts that come and go, and sometimes stay too long. Fluid sac are not cancerous as they contain no protein or fat, but can be fed through diet.
Most breast lumps are a function of water and temperature. Too much water in the diet: eight glasses of water per day, salads, fruit, juices, smoothies, shakes, milk and cold drinks, in combination with low protein, low fat foods (beans, nuts, seeds, light dairy, etc.), in excess, tends to cool the body, causing excess condensation (cold condenses) to occur in the lungs (mucous, phlegm), breasts (lumps, cysts), stools (loose), thighs (cellulite), abdomen, ankles, etc. Cooked foods and spices help reduce, eliminate excess moisture as does a decrease in cold, damp foods (salads, tropical fruits, milk, cold drinks, etc.).
Most of them are harmless and normal, but should be checked, monitored via physical examination. Breast cancer may also cause a yellow, bloody or clear discharge from the nipple.
