The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or "Tapping" is an excellent way to combat stress and help heal breast cancer naturally.
A groundbreaking study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine has revealed a significant preference among women in their 40s to delay mammography screening when provided with comprehensive information about its benefits and risks.
