Make Peace
I talked to a psychic friend of mine the other day and while she was reading my cards, she mentioned something that made me stop and think. I'd heard the information before, but this time it really hit home. She said that for the past twenty years that she has been helping people, there have been many struggling with breast cancer. She mentioned that all of them had one important thing in common... a problem with letting go of old hurts and resentments. Right on down the board... every one of them. I started to think about my own life and sure enough... yes, this is something I have been struggling with for a while. I take great offense to people who wrong me unfairly. So, after talking to my psychic friend I have been working even harder to release old hurts and frustrations. I've had some major betrayals from people very close to me so this process hasn't been easy. I think however, that I am close now to letting it all go. I try to forgive these people in my mind every day. At first it can be hard... you don't want to forgive them, you want to curse them! But after a while the forgiveness comes easier. Do yourself and your body a favor and let it go. Your breasts will thank you.

Cell Phone Radiation
If you place your cell phone in your breast pocket and use blue tooth, you may be putting your breasts at risk for breast cancer. It is becoming widely known that cell phone use causes brain cancer... well now you need to know what "pocketing" your cell phone can do to other parts of your body. Please watch this video... it is important information.

What causes disease?
From Dr. Mercola:
I’d like to reiterate that while I view herbs as frequently helpful and virtually non-toxic when compared to patent drugs, they rarely treat the cause of your disease. I view most of them as frequently effective symptomatic band-aids. Therefore, if you depend solely on herbs without addressing the underlying cause of your disease, you’re still likely avoiding the real cure.
So what are the underlying causes of most, if not all disease? I strongly believe it boils down to three basics of equal importance:
Your emotional and mental state
Your nutrition
Your physical activity
All advice essentially falls under one of these three basic necessities for optimal health, which create a circle of either positive or negative ramifications, depending on whether you address them appropriately or not.
Awesome Cancer-Busting Approaches
Without disputing the value and effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an alternative to the flawed healthcare system in the United States, I believe you can VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE your risk of cancer and chronic disease, and radically improve your chances of recovering from cancer if you currently have it, by following these relatively simple risk reduction strategies.
You won’t read or hear much about them because they have not been formally "proven" yet by conservative researchers. However, did you know that 85 percent of therapies currently recommended by conventional medicine have never been formally proven either?!
Here are my Twelve Strategies:
Reduce or eliminate your processed food, sugar and grain carbohydrate intake. Yes, this is even true for whole unprocessed organic grains as they tend to rapidly break down and drive your insulin and leptin levels up, which is the last thing you need to have happening if you are seeking to resolve a cancer.
Control your fasting insulin and leptin levels. This is the end result, and can be easily monitored with the use of simple and relatively inexpensive blood tests.
Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality krill oil or fish oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable oils.
Get regular exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.
Normalize your vitamin D levels and vitamin A levels by getting plenty of sunlight exposure and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you take oral vitamin D and have a cancer, it would be very prudent to monitor your vitamin D blood levels regularly.
Get regular, good sleep.
Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.
Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
Limit your exposure and provide protection for yourself from information carrying radio waves produced by cell phone towers, base stations, phones and WiFi stations.
Avoid frying or charbroiling your food. Boil, poach or steam your foods instead.
Have a tool to permanently reprogram the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. Energy psychology seems to be one of the best approaches and my particular favorite tool, as you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique. German New Medicine is another powerful tool.
Eat at least one-third of your food raw.

New Cancer Cure?
CBC News 2008
John Kanzius, a man with no background in science or medicine, has come up with what may be one of the most promising breakthroughs in cancer research in years. What’s more, he did it with his wife's pie pans.
Kanzius is a former businessman and radio technician who built a radio wave machine that has cancer researchers so enthusiastic about its potential that they're pouring money and effort into testing it out.
If clinical trials pan out -- and admittedly, there's still a long way to go -- the Kanzius machine will destroy cancer cells all through your body without the need for drugs or surgery ... and without any side effects.
Six years ago, Kanzius was diagnosed with terminal leukemia, and since then has undergone 36 rounds of toxic chemotherapy. He decided there had to be a better way. One night, Kanzius got out of bed, went to the kitchen, and started to build a radio wave machine out of modified pie pans. He eventually spent $200,000 building a more advanced version.
The machine sends radio waves from one box to another, creating enough energy to activate gas in a fluorescent light. Since metal heats up when it's exposed to high-powered radio waves, if a tumor was injected with some kind of metal, it can be destroyed with a focused radio wave beam.
Doctors can inject nanoparticles made of metal directly into a tumor, and then cook the tumor to death using Kanzius’ device without harming surrounding tissue. It is hoped that, by using special molecules that are programmed to target cancer cells and attach nanoparticles to them, the machine will eventually be able to target even microscopic cells throughout the body.

Question Your Doctors!
I'm not one of those women who automatically does what my doctors tell me to. I'm sorry, but first I have an awful lot of questions to ask. After my diagnosis, I went to a radiologist in L.A. who was apparently "the best" in town. Highly recommended. I had my husband and my new-born baby in my arms (actually my husband wasn't in my arms, just the baby) when this Dr. told me that I would DIE if I didn't do exactly what he recommended (which was radiation). I was so stunned I stumbled out of the examining room with my baby... and with tears streaming down my cheeks I made my way out of the office. I was so upset I'm sure everyone in the waiting room was horrified as I ran past... probably believing I had just been given a fatal diagnosis. My husband was so mad at the doctor I could hear him yelling at him as I exited the medical building in a cold sweat. My husband demanded an apology letter... or he threatened to sue. The next morning at exactly nine o'clock in the morning a Federal Express truck pulled into our driveway and delivered a letter of sincere apology from the best radiologist in town.
P.S. I didn't do exactly what the doctor said... and guess what... I didn't die.

Remember to Give Thanks...
I'm sitting here drinking my cherry green tea, looking out the window at the enormous cedar trees, the sun streaming through the window and I'm thinking... I'm pretty blessed. I just heard on CNN that perhaps more than 100 thousand people have perished in the cyclone in Myanmar. I"m still not sure I even know where Myanmar is. But, since all life is inter-connected, that indeed all souls are connected... their pain is everyone's pain. And as we go through our own pains in life, whether it is divorce, death of a loved one... or breast cancer... we can always stop and remember that even though things are tough for us... there's always someone somewhere that is worse off. Let's all remember to give thanks for what we do have. For starters, this cherry green tea is pretty awesome. Thank you!
Yoga may help in mind-body healing from cancer
CBC News
Yoga may help people with cancer face the fear and uncertainty of the disease, a growing body of research suggests.
Cancer treatment and defeating it often take precedence over addressing emotional needs, such as what the diagnosis means to a person's life and plans, family, retirement and future, said Linda Carlson, a psychologist who teaches yoga and studies it effects on patients.
Carlson says yoga participants tend to have less tension, sleep better and carry fewer stress hormones.
"People felt happier, they had more energy, they were less confused, sort of mentally confused," said Carlson, of the Alberta Cancer Board. "So there was a whole array of benefits and it was a fairly large effect."
There is growing evidence that the ancient practice may be a good fit for cancer patients, even during treatment, said Edmonton-based Kerry Courney, the Canada research chair in cancer and exercise.
"I think many of the yoga programs are a little more gentler, and [there are] things that cancer patients feel that they're capable of doing," Courney said. "It might be an amount of exercise that is more appropriate when you're going through the difficult treatments."
Studies on breast cancer survivors have shown that yoga may improve flexiblity and arm function after surgery, along with improvements in body image and self-esteem, reduced fatigue and pain control, Courney said.
The main risk is in overdoing it, such as overstretching areas that might be healing, he said, although there is less concern about injuries from the low-impact exercise.
The mind-body connection of yoga also helps to move patients past questions like "Why me?" Carlson said.
Robert Boutillier, a prostate cancer survivor in Calgary, considers yoga a life saver.
"We'd spend you know the 20 minutes or half an hour meditating, and you'd walk out of there feeling, 'I can handle this,'" Boutillier said.
Boutillier said he is grateful for the diagnosis, which has made him appreciate life more fully compared with his early days that were filled with fear, blame and stress.
