Breast Cancer Prevention

There are different schools of thought when it comes to causes, treatments and the prevention of breast cancer in males and females. This information will take the high road and focus on the simplest and most natural things everyone should know and can do for themselves. The Mayo Clinic states that exercise, limiting alcohol and eating right all assist in cancer prevention. Other specialists include genetics as a factor and still others add obesity, stress, hormone therapy, long-term exposure to pesticides, unnecessary use of antibiotics and high fat consumption as considerations. However, there is yet another theoretical path that has a large bibliography backing its claims.

Our blood requires an alkaline environment for life, and when that balance is tipped in favor of an acidic environment, sickness in all its forms is always the result, which includes cancer in all its forms. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 with anything below 7 being acidic and anything above 7 being alkaline. Anyone can buy pH strips either online or at a pharmacy. Dipping a small strip in urine first thing in the morning or in the mouth to measure the pH of saliva is the easiest way to determine where on the pH scale the body fluids are. When the pH is above 7.4, cancer cells become dormant. If the body is really alkaline at 8.5, the cancer cells die, but healthy cells keep living. Whole preferably organic foods, low stress, alkaline water, healthy relationships, a sustained exercise program, and a spiritual life all contribute to alkaline blood.

A vegetarian diet is highly respected for the simple reason of its high content of alkaline minerals such as rubidium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorite ion, magnesium, and cesium. These can be obtained by drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices within minutes of juicing them. Meat is highly acidic as is sugar and all refined foods. For the prevention of cancer and most other diseases, it is best to run, not walk from the last two.
