Fight Back Against Breast-Cancer-Promoting Environmental Estrogens
Leave a Comment
Remember the old canary in the coal mine? Miners used to carry caged canaries down into the mines with them, and if there was methane or carbon monoxide, the canary would die before the gas became hazardous to humans.
When it comes to our breast health, we can’t wait for the canary! Did you know that 1 out of 7 women will get breast cancer in her lifetime? That means that you and/or someone you know – your daughter, mother, friends, co-workers – will develop it. We can’t afford to wait around!
How Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals Promote Cancer
Our constant exposure to environmental toxins may be partially attributed to the alarming increase in cancers. The class of chemicals that affect breast tissue the most are called xenoestrogens (also known as endocrine disrupting chemicals or EDCs) since they imitate and enhance estrogen activity.
They’re also sometimes referred to as the 3 P’s: Pesticides, Plastics, and Petroleum. These EDCs have been called a potential breast cancer risk because they interfere with or mimic the body’s natural hormonal system, and hormones have been shown to affect breast cancer risk.
These chemicals can increase susceptibility to breast cancer by:
- Feeding a breast tumor that’s already present.
- Changing the composition of the breast, leaving it more vulnerable to carcinogens.
Don’t Panic, Be Proactive
Xenoestrogens can be detected on thermography, because synthetic estrogens and hormones affect breast and fatty tissue with distinct heat patterns that can only be seen on Infrared Thermal Imaging. Usually, these estrogens show up as leopard spots or mottling in thermographic images.
Thermography is a radiation-free screening procedure that uses infrared heat to detect breast disease or possible tumors. It can detect changes in your breasts five to eight years before a diagnosis.
Every woman should know the condition of her breast. Let us help you detox and restore breast health.
