SUMMARY
With all alternative medicine has taught us about breast cancer, I highly encourage you to begin a nutritional program which includes nutritional supplementation and appropriate detoxification as well as a regular exercise and stress reduction program especially understanding the protective benefits of tofu and flax seed oil and other phyto estrogens in the protection against breast cancer. For the best medicine is that which prevents disease from occurring.
“The cure of many disease is unknown to physicians. They are ignorant of the whole, which ought to be studied also. For the part can never be well unless the whole is well. This is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body that the physician separates the soul from the body.” Plato
"The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore, tile physician must start from nature, with an open mind." Paracelsus" Nature, time and patience are the three great physicians." Proverbs, The Bible
