16 Dec The First Line of Defense, and it’s not a mastectomy.
I was shocked the other day, the day I learned how women feel about their first line of defense against breast cancer. I had a group of girlfriends over for lunch celebrating the holidays, when the conversation turned to breast cancer. A relative of one of my girlfriends, had just been diagnosed, and she is young, in her 30’s. That, of course, is not shocking news, the rate of those being diagnosed with cancer is increasing yearly. The shocking part to me was the response from all my girlfriends as their first line of defense. All these women, 100%, agreed that a mastectomy was the way to go. At the first sight of breast cancer, their breasts would be voluntarily cut off. I tried my best to explain that there is so much that you can do first, through nutritional chemotherapy, supplements, correcting their pH levels, but no, they looked at me like I was crazy.
Everyday millions of cells in your body are dying, they are committing suicide, and that is natural. They have a special “off” switch, kind of like a spy that gets caught by the enemy. That spy chews that little cyanide pill, and done, dead, gone. That’s how our cells work. When something goes wrong with our DNA within a cell, that cell gets a message to commit suicide. Then the dead cell is carted off by our immune system, and eliminated. There are nutrients in nature, that we evolved with over time, that help cells trigger appropriate responses, to help us stay healthy. It’s called nutrient logic. All those foods we hated as kids, well, they help us fight cancer, daily. Broccoli, kale, spinach, turnips, cabbage, that kind of stuff, those foods help our bodies, at a cellular level act appropriately. Corny dogs from the carnival, tend to have the opposite effect, letting those rogue damaged cells live. Those are cancer cells, and that bad food, just gave them a free hall pass.
So here is my response to my girlfriends, it came to me a day later. I have liver spots on the backs of my hands. To get rid of those spots, I’ll just cut my hands off. Spots are gone, I will never get them again on my hands. BUT, that does nothing to address the reason how those spots got there in the first place. It does nothing to change my behavior that lead to those spots on my hands, which are actually toxins that my body could not eliminate, and therefore just for safe keeping stored the toxins under my skin. Cutting off my hands does not prevent those toxins from being deposited elsewhere in my body, like on my legs, or in my fat, creating a new problem somewhere else.
Cutting off our breasts as our first line of defense does not change that behavior that got to the point of breast cancer. Working with cancer, not working against it, means changing your diet to eat the foods that trigger the cancer cells to commit suicide. Those foods can also clean up the spots on the backs of your hands, that I know to be a fact. For the past six months, I have been watching the spots fade away dramatically, no cream could do this, it was all done by nutrition. The first line of defense against cancer starts now, with the choices you make. Don’t wait for the diagnosis, and if you have the diagnosis, same thing start thinking about your food choices, it could save your life.
