October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month
 

 


OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
 
Everywhere you look - in print, on TV, across the Internet and even at the cosmetic counters of department stores - mammogram advocates are pushing the procedure as if it was the ultimate cure for cancer.  It is not.
 
While early detection may, in some instances, save lives, screening mammograms do not prevent cancer. In the mid-1980s, by the time a woman found a lump, the tumor was advanced. Annual mammography came into wide acceptance as a way to try to find a tumor before it could be palpated. The idea was that if it was found early, treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemo could reduce the death rate from breast cancer. By this measure, mammograms have been success.
 
But how many "survivors" do we need to make women wake up and demand a new meaning for "early detection?"  Instead of running and marching and walking to find raise money for a Cure, women should be screaming for true prevention and non-invasive detection, so they can have an opportunity to stop the problem before it matures into full blown cancer.
 
Researchers stopped looking for the Cause a long time ago because women were demanding the Cure.  

 Does anyone see the problem with this? Do women realize they are simply raising money for the drug companies - which have more wealth than most countries - to cure something we can avoid with the right tools and protocols?  

 With infrared breast imaging (IRBI), areas of concern can be identified years in advance of a mammographic finding. This is not a "new technology." It has been available since the 1980s as a screening device. During the 1990s, studies involving more than 60,000 women identified the value of infrared thermography for assessing the health of breast tissue.

Dietary and lifestyle changes, lymph drainage exercises, evidence-based vitamins and nutraceuticals can be used to heal the abnormality. Improvements can be followed by non-invasive, non-painful, non-radiating infrared imaging. If the area of heat and inflammation goes away, the risk of progression, by definition, goes away.
 
Think infrared breast imaging (IRBI): Redefine the meaning of "Early Detection." Here's more information . CALL TODAY and take charge of your health, let healthy medicine work for you! 203 799-7733 .


    Breast Cancer tissue - 99% contained at least one paraben

 
Parabens and Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer Awareness month is here and we believe it is pertinent to share some research regarding the potential link between paraben exposure and breast cancer. Parabens are a common preservative used in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Studies show that these chemicals are found in breast tissue of women after repeated exposure.

 

Research published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, 2012, examined the breast tissue of 40 female breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomies. The following results were found:

 
- Of the 160 tissue samples taken 99% contained at least one paraben.

- 60% of the of the tissue samples contained all five of the most commonly used  parabens including methlyparaben and propylparaben.

Today's most widely available personal care products are full of chemicals that are damaging to your body. Most consumers are completely unaware that they are consistently exposing themselves to such harmful chemicals on a daily basis.  As a nutritionist, I naturally have dedication to education.  The key to getting people healthy is empowering them with knowledge. Knowledge allows us to make better purchasing decisions. As I always say, your dollar is your vote. I have been teaching people how to read food labels for 25 years. My goal with AMG Naturally Newsletters is to teach you how to read cosmetic and beauty product labels. 

These are much more difficult to interpret as compared to food labels. Most of the long words that are tough to pronounce are chemicals, however, plant ingredients can easily be misinterpreted as chemicals because they can be difficult to pronounce as well. Turning 50 was my motive for discovering ways to Age More Gracefully (AMG), naturally. I was baffled by all the chemicals inside the beautiful jars of anti-aging products. Everything you put on your skin absorbs into your bloodstream. So, if you put chemicals on your skin, won't this age you faster? I have been digging into the research for quite some time now. The answer is clearly YES. Man-made preservatives commonly found in creams, such as parabens and phthalates, are disrupting hormones, causing birth defects and infertility and contributing to the increase in cancer rates. Unless you are using natural, chemical free products like those made by AMG Naturally, the more products you use daily to be beautiful, the greater at risk you are. 

  

Below is a sample ingredient list from an eye serum commonly sold in department stores:
   
Water, Glycerin, Niacinamide, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Dimenthicone, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Palmitate, Ptfe, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Retinyl Propionate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Polyacrylamide, Titanium Dioxide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Cetyl Ricinoleate, Carbomer, Laureth-7, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Polysorbate 20, Peg-100 Stearate, Stearic Acid, DMDM Hydantoin, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Ammonium Polyacrylate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Benzyl Alcohol, Disodium Edta, Bht, Ascorbic Acid. 

 

The ingredients listed in bold are known to be, or suspected of being, toxic and damaging to the human body via binding onto estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) which disrupts hormone metabolism (known as endocrine disruption). Research concludes that parabens decrease the size of the ovaries and contribute to infertility. Studies clearly reveal high levels of parabens in the urine of BOTH men and women in infertility centers. 

      

- DMDM Hydantoin: Releases formaldehyde (a known carcinogen)

 
- Methylparaben: Endocrine disruptor (used as a preservative)
 
- Propylparaben: Endocrine disruptor (used as a preservative)

  

Along with many others, you may be unaware that these chemicals are in the products you use daily and have no knowledge of why these ingredients are in your products. This is precisely the issue we aim to fix, by informing you of the nature of these chemicals and the ill effects that can be brought on by long-term exposure. Help AMG to spread the word by sharing our blogs and newsletters.
