A new study published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology has raised some disturbing possibilities regarding the dangers of a common preservative found in thousands of consumer products on the market today.
Breast cancer treatment can have devastating effects on quality of life. Honey (and bee pollen) have recently been found to improve symptoms in women on hormone suppressive drugs
Imagine a health crisis so vast it affects 1.5 million Americans each year, yet remains largely hidden from public view. This is the reality of diagnostic errors and overdiagnosis in the United States, a two-pronged problem that new research suggests is far more pervasive and harmful than previously understood.
Thermography offers the opportunity for much earlier breast disease detection than is possible through self-examination, doctor examination or mammography alone because the procedure can detect the subtlest of physiologic changes that accompany breast pathology, whether it is cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection or a vascular disease.
A powerful new Lancet study reveals that the so-called breast cancer susceptibility genes -- BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 -- do not, in fact, cause breast cancer. Jolie's prophylactic mastectomy, for instance, was for naught.
Breast cancer is a devastating disease that affects millions of women worldwide. While genetic factors have long been considered the primary culprits, a groundbreaking study has revealed that the air we breathe may play a more significant role in the development of this disease than previously thought.
Evidence of a relationship between bras and breast cancer may rethink the societal convention of wearing bras.
When people come to me for holistic health advice, my main objective is to provide evidence-based health information supported by the scientific literature. One of the quintessential pillars of my mission is to share those practices with empirical validation in order to elevate therapeutic nutrition to the same perceived mainstream legitimacy as any other science-based discipline.
Millions of asymptomatic women undergo breast screening annually because their doctors tell them to do so. Not only are these women's presumably healthy breasts being exposed to highly carcinogenic x-rays, but thousands have received a diagnosis of 'breast cancer' for entirely benign lesions that when left untreated would have caused no harm to them whatsoever.
A new study finds vitamin D -- the 'sunlight vitamin' -- strikes to the very heart of breast cancer malignancy.
Are you one of the million of women who currently take a birth control pill? If so, beware of the artificial hormones contained in the birth control pill and the increased risk of developing breast cancer.
Nestled within its jewel-toned arils, the humble pomegranate harbors a wealth of compounds that can profoundly impact women's health, from supporting fertility and easing menopause to potentially warding off chronic diseases.
A new study lends more support for the idea that a whole food is more powerful than the sum of its parts
The bombshell GMO/Roundup study brought to the forefront the link between what we eat and breast cancer risk, less than two weeks before the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Will we let this connection be pinkwashed away?
Getting a mammogram seems like a "no-brainer." The diagnostic test detects, by emitting allegedly harmless ionizing radiation, breast cancer early, thus it prevents the premature demise of the patient. Yet, many solid scientific facts invalidate these, on the surface, seemingly legitimate, highly plausible notions or claims about the value of mammography.
What if the very product millions use daily to stay fresh is silently contributing to one of the most feared diseases among women? A growing body of evidence suggests the aluminum in antiperspirants may play an insidious role in breast cancer development - and it's time we took a closer look at research that was prematurely dismissed.
More than 100 women in the U.S. die every day from breast cancer. Could something as simple as celery make a difference?
Women have experienced tumors in their breast tissue where their cell phones rest while tucked into their bras. A coincidence, or cause for concern?
Here are four specific things that you can start addressing today to significantly lower your risk for breast cancer.
Have we lost the war against cancer? With the failure of chemotherapy, is there another alternative to fighting cancer?
Thirty years of research reveals 10 of the best food compounds to ingest to protect against and even treat the root cause of most cancers
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the developed world, and yet we are still in the dark ages when it comes to treating and understanding it.
You may have heard of the latest mammogram study published in the BMJ, which found no reduction in the breast cancer specific mortality in those who undergo these screenings. Why did it cause such a backlash?
The recent FDA confirmation of the risk of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare version of non-Hodgkins lymph cancer, is the latest volley from the arsenal of manufacturer-health provider-regulatory agency collusion. Unwitting females around the world continue to sign up for breast enlargement and reconstruction in record numbers despite the checkered history of the procedure.
