A Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras.

Doctor David Williams' newsletter
for March, ALTERNATIVES, arrived today. Most of you know that Williams is a highly-respected alternative health physician. He's
one of my few heroes.

The March issue is devoted largely
to Breast Cancer -- specifically,
how to prevent it. As I was reading the newsletter, one page JUMPED
out at me. It was news to me, and
it may be news to some of you.

Doctor Williams cites a book called
DRESSED TO KILL: THE LINK BETWEEN
BREAST CANCER AND BRAS, that was
written by Sydney Singer and others
in 2002. Let me quote Doctor Williams:

"The authors reported that women wearing a bra 24 hours a day, had a
3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer."

"Women wearing their bras more than
12 hours a day, but not to bed, had
a 1 out of 7 risk."

"Women wearing bras less than 12 hours a day, had a 1 in 152 risk of
developing breast cancer."

"And women who rarely or never wore
bras, had a 1 out of 168 risk of
developing breast cancer."

Why? According to Doctor Williams,
"wearing a bra 14 or more hours a day, tends to increase prolactin,
a hormone that reduces circulation
to the breast. Bras also interfere
with the lymphatic drainage of the
breast, and their overuse can increase the risk of cancer."

Williams suggests that women remove
their bras at least while sleeping.
He also describes a simple massage
technique (it takes only 6 minutes),
that enhances lympahtic drainage from the breast and goes "a long way
in helping to prevent breast cancer."

If anyone is interested in that
technque, let me know, and I'll post
it here on this forum.

If anything I said resonated with you, go to Amazon.com and type in
DRESSED TO KILL in the search box.
There are lots of reviews, many of
them containing additional facts
which are interesting.

Maybe all those young women in the
1960s, had the right idea after all.

Blessings,

Owen
