Another thing that I changed since my Dx. I always exercised, but exercise took on a whole new meaning for me. I've trained for 2 triathlons, and I ride bike, run, take yoga, and swim frequently. I do something 6 days a week, and I make sure I sleep approximately 8-9 hours a night. The exercise and the magnesium really help to make me tired at night.
It sounds extreme, but any exercise you can do daily, hopefully communing with nature on some of your workouts, will help you gain strength and push down insulin, cholesterol, etc. I know I took my exercise to another level, but walking, jogging, weight lifting, yoga, swimming, etc, etc. are all ways to help fight the beast that is cancer.

Dang, Marriana, you must look pretty fit. Two triathlons! That's impressive.
I work out 6x per week, for no more than an hour each day, as well. I do cardio + heavy weights (2 days) and ashtanga yoga (2 days). I am looking around for a rebounder, ‘cause I read that it's especially great for the lymphatic system. If anyone could suggest a brand, that would be helpful.
These days I'm all about getting my lymphatic system to help deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells. So, deep breathing and doing the sun salutation in mornings, along with a few yoga poses as soon as I wake up, are a must for me. These are ones I do, Yoga Immunity Boost www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJYHmQo1kU8.
You are right. Connecting with nature is important. I walk in the evenings, watch the sun set and think about nothing.
Unfortunately, I don't go to sleep early enough. I only start getting sleepy around midnight. I'm getting 7 hours of sleep. But, I want to aim to be in bed around 10pm, which is ideal.
Apparently, less than 6 hours of sleep per night is really not good--a hormone produced by the brain during sleep to regulate the body's internal clock, helps suppress the amount of oestrogen released.
I love my fruits. That's all I eat in the mornings with kefir, before my work out. After, I have a banana, a protein shake and some hemp seeds. I'm going to look up the protein bar that you recommended. I need more meat on my bones. After noon is when I load up on the raw and lightly steamed veggies. Although my diet is pretty healthy, I have to take supplements. (I listed them below). I'm planning on getting pregnant next year, so I want my antioxidant, inflammatory, vitamin and hormonal levels to be perfect.
I laughed when you said, "I don't want my children developing in new ways, I just want their development to follow what nature's course intended!" (I hear you!)
My girlfriend has a six year old that has more pubic hair than me-It's a full BUSH! My friend is being nonchalant about it because the doctor wasn't concerned. I'm going to email her this article. " Precocious Puberty Strikes More 7 year Olds."
"...As it turns out, puberty at age 7 or 8 isn't so unusual these days. A new study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, shows that more American girls are maturing earlier and earlier. Typically, U.S. girls hit puberty around age 10 or 11.Exactly what this shift means for girls isn't clear yet - either on a group or individual level. But there are budding concerns. For instance, studies have linked an early start to menstruation with an elevated risk of breast cancer. And other research has shown that girls who go through puberty early tend to have lower self-esteem and a poor body image. They are also more likely to engage in risky behaviors which can result in unplanned pregnancies, experts say.The possible link to breast cancer was what sparked the new study. To take a long-term look at the impact of puberty and other factors on breast cancer, researchers enrolled 1,239 girls between the ages of 6 and 8 from three sites in the U.S.: New York's East Harlem, the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area and the San Francisco Bay area..."THESE ARE MY SUPPLEMENTS

Hi Princess123. Just wondering, do you have breast cancer?
-
Precocious Puberty Strikes More 7 year Olds."
I believe the culpret to early puberty is due to the hormones in our milk, meat and water supply. These kids are getting an excessive amount of estrogen way before their body is ready for it. It's a crime that this is happening due to corporations giving cows excessive hormones so to milk the cows 24/7. Yes, for this reason more and more kids will become vulnerable to cancer related diseases. I wonder if this is one reason why kids are getting cancer? Don't know, just asking.
-
Eve, the author you might want to read on this topic is Kaayla Daniels who has written a book about soy. Studies on young black girls in Harlem show an alarming rate of early puberty. These same girls were fed soy formula as infants. Over 40% of this group of girls were hitting puberty before age 10. It was information I believe that came from information gathered from those on public assistance. Other ethnicities were not steered toward soy at the same rate due to a perceived notion that blacks had a higher rate of lactose intolerance, so many of the other kids on public assistance were fed dairy. Similar studies exist from previous decades, and it's known that the incidence of early puberty was negligible back in the 50s and 60s.

Kira - I too have been able to eliminate joint pain caused by AI by going gluten free. I'm not celiac, but many people are sensitive to the gluten, and it can cause or increase inflammation. My doc said many of the patients he suggests going gluten free to, have been able to stop taking the pain meds they were taking for osteo arthritis.
eta: Acupuncture has been wonderful, wonderful too. Really helped me feel so much better.

thenewme, I had a small tumor (DCIS Stage O) removed a few years ago. I really never worried about it. I treated it like a pimple. I never called my self a breast cancer survivor. ( I am stlll not sure what that means, and who qualifies.) I didn't take the time to really understand what BC is and how it may have developed. I was too busy dealing with my personal life and another health issue, which were demanding my attention.
Fast forward....I had a relative die of breast cancer, another was DX last year. After learning from their experiences and watching what they went through, and the fact I now have breast cysts and these marbles "fibroadema" that easily roll back forth, I woke up and started getting educated.
I realized that these breast issues and some poor lifestyle choices (despite what my doctor believed ) are increasing the risk of cancer showing up in my breast again.
Looking back I could have perhaps prevented all of this from happening. I don't know. All I do know is I will do my part to restore my health.
I have a good ND, chinese medicine doctor/herbalist and a new GP who believes in prevention. I was given so much bad advice over the years, just treating symptoms instead of causes. Never again will I fall in that trap. I learned my lesson. I am trying to make the right dietary changes and reduce my body's exposure to toxic chemicals to prevent cancer and reduce my future children's chances of developing health problems before they exit my woomb.
ETA After reading all these threads about root canals and cancer I am seriously considering finding a holistic dentist and getting rid of my mercury filling.

Princess,
I'm so sorry about your relative. I'm working on making some healthier lifestyle changes myself, although I already had pretty good habits and excellent health before my diagnosis. I wish we knew more about the cause/treatment/cure for BC so it wouldn't be anything any of us would need to worry about for our children.
-
evebarry, I know rBSTmilk is banned in many countries because their studies found that it caused food sensitivities in children, breast cancer and prostate cancer. I'm not sure when it was introduced. Meanwhile, the US has determined it to be safe.

I also had early stage DCIS Stage 0. I participated in a bike ride for Young Survivors,and I kept telling the ladies that I "only" had DCIS, because everyone had a pretty significant story. They all shushed me, and told me that I was also a survivor, that DCIS is nothing to dismiss. I still feel like they really had significantly worse cases, and I was mindful of that the entire event.
I had rads as well, and it kind of makes me mad when I think of the damage it did to my body. So I take it as a rude wake up call about my health, and I am trying to do everything possible not to get another cancer.
I am glad to hear that you are concerned about your future kids' health as well. I think about how much my kiddos have to endure healthwise, in this very unhealthy world. I have a girl with tree nut allergies despite no allergies in either side of the family, another one with severe ezcema-- again with no family history. I

I accidently hit submit!
I try to keep their diets "clean", and don't use dairy products that are hormonally treated. We eat only organic meats. I sometimes don't get organic vegetables just simply due to the cost of raising 3 ravenous and growing children. It's hard, and I cannot imagine trying to do it without 2 incomes. It gets pretty expensive, and we honestly spend more than $500 week on our food and vitamins. Ouch.

thenewme, I don't know if you've seen this. It would be great if they would take this study to the next level and do a study on humans. Enough with mice already!
Blueberry Consumption Reduces Growth and Spread of Breast Cancer Tumors in Mice
"NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In several studies recently conducted at the Beckman Research Institute at the City of Hope, Duarte, CA researchers found that feeding blueberry powder to mice significantly reduced the growth and spread of triple negative breast cancer cells, a very aggressive form of cancer. Triple negative breast cancer accounts for 10 to 15% of all breast cancer cases and is highly resistant to traditional chemotherapy treatments. The results of this research led by Dr. Lynn Adams, in the laboratory of Dr. Shiuan Chen, are published in the October 2011 issue of The Journal of Nutrition.
In their research, the team fed groups of mice specially formulated diets containing 5% freeze-dried blueberry powder, 10% blueberry powder or a control diet containing no blueberry powder. All three diets had a similar nutrient composition and the animals ate and drank about the same amount regardless of group. The human equivalent of the 5% diet is about 2 cups of fresh highbush blueberries per day.
Researchers compared the size of the breast tumors that developed and discovered that on average, tumor size was 75% smaller in the 5% blueberry experimental group and 60% smaller in the 10% group as compared to the control group. The difference between the two blueberry groups was not significant. Further confirmation of the results was obtained when the researchers conducted molecular studies on tumor tissue and found significant differences between the blueberry-fed and control groups in gene patterns known to be related to inflammatory diseases and the proliferation and spread of cancer cells.
In a second study that explored the effect of consuming blueberries on the spread of breast cancer (metastasis), the research team found that mice fed a diet containing 5% blueberry powder developed 70% fewer liver cancer tumors and 25% fewer lymph node tumors when compared to the control mice.
"Although these results were obtained with laboratory animals and cannot be applied directly to humans, we believe we have moved one step closer to ultimately finding a safe and effective diet strategy for controlling triple negative breast cancer, for which there are few therapy choices. Blueberries may well be part of that diet strategy,"

Marianna, $500 per week! AHHHHH! There goes my plan to have three children.
Maybe I will just adopt puppies. Organic dog food should be more affordable. These allergies are relatively new. When we were growing up kids weren't allergic to things like peanuts. Mind you I won't eat them now. They are not good for us. ETA: I can't digest tree nuts. I have to soak them first. Otherwise, my face breaks out. What kind of reaction does your daughter get? Soaking them helps to pre digest them.
Sharon
-
Marianna $500 a week, Wow. I like having my garden and putting up the veges. That way I know what has been done to them. I have been trying to buy hormone free chicken and beef. My husband knows a man who raises a longhorn mixture cow that is suppose to be really lean and is grassfed. He sells at some Whole Foods but you can order directly from him so I think we are going to give it a try for one of the packages. Several years ago my husband was having some gerd and allergy issues and he went and got tested. Found out he is allergic to wheat. Allergy Dr. said it did not show positive enough for him to removed the wheat from his diet, but we did not listen to that because after everything I read on wheat allergies I was conviced that was his problem. We were very strict as first and his gerd got so much better. We stick with it pretty good but if he has a little wheat it does not bother him. But I try to buy as much glueten free products as I can and try to bake gluten free as well. I found a cookbook that I really like and it used odd stuff like sorghum flour. The good thing about it, is that it is high in protein. So when I make pancakes they stick with you. You are not hungry a couple of hours later.
I'm scare to figure out how much I spend on groceries and supplements. yikes

Aletha, my daughter was allergic to my breast milk so after six months of a screaming baby, her doctor suggested soy milk. She was on it for the next two years. She did not have any signs of early puberty. She was a teen before getting there like myself. However, I have friends who give there kids regular store bought milk. Their daughters and sons seemed to be developing young...breast features very young.
-
So, evebarry, what kind of milk did you give your daughter after she was off the soy formula? Also, was the formula that you used one of the commercial brands? Or a better quality one?
ETA: What kind of milk were you drinking throughout your pregnancy and when you were breast feeding?
Sharon

It's stunning, isn't it? I cringe when I do my weekly shopping. That's why I try to take a lot of shortcuts when I can.... I just wash the vegetables that are not organic very, very well. I've soaked them in apple cider vinegar and water to see if it removes some of the pestidide residue. Who knows, but I am happy that they eat vegetables.
And, since I am a working mom, it's hard to do a lot of meal prep, so I have to cook very, very simply. I try to do a stew/soup on Sundays that will last a few days into the week. When I cook spaghetti sauce for the kids, I freeze some containers of it, etc, etc. It's a real challenge... and though I used to like to cook, I find that I don't enjoy it anymore because of the wheat thing. Since I can't have breads/ wheat products, cooking has become more of a chore. I feel intimidated to try the other flours out there, just mainly because of not having a lot of time to cook.
So, lots of chicken, veggies and rice going on here. Uggggh.
-
Oh, and the tree nut allergy. My daughter has a severe reaction, with lips/facial swelling. The allergist thinks that this is a danger, as her throat can close up. She will vomit within 10 minutes of ingesting a tree nut. I just keep Benedryl handy for those occasions. She knows the minute she gets a nut in her mouth, because she says it starts to tingle and she will feel sick to her stomach.
Stinks, doesn't it?
She had egg allergies too, but outgrew them by the time she was 3. I feel bad for her, because she is my most adventurous eater, and she likes to try new things..... she just has to be so careful, because some foods have hidden nuts (think Indian food, etc)
-
Sherry-
It's interesting that the docs give people with wheat allergy a choice to follow/not follow the GF lifestyle. If they told their patients how much better they might feel making the right food choices, it would be good.
I will keep the sorghum flour pancakes in mind..... that would be great to NOT feel hungry a few hours after breakfast.
-
Princess123-
I am going to remember to thaw out my frozen blueberries tonight for a snack! Thanks for posting that article.
-
Marianna I'll try to remember to post the cookbook that I use. The recipes are easy but do use some different things that I find online and order. DH has a senstive pallet so I was not sure at first but so far he likes everything that I have baked. Breads are good in the bread machine when you can eat them while they are warm but I have not found a way to store them and use for sandwiches. Just have not been happy with the results.
-
This is interesting. Soy based formula needs to be taken off the shelves.
"Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based formula. ....Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least five birth control pills per day. ... Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women. ...Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease. ....Almost 15 percent of white girls and 50 percent of African-American girls show signs of puberty such as breast development and pubic hair, before the age of eight. Some girls are showing sexual development before the age of three. Premature development of girls has been linked to the use of soy formula and exposure to environmental estrogens such as PCBs and DDE."

Marianna, I never thought to wash my fruits and veggies with apple cider vinegar. I was using Nature Clean's Fruit and Veggie wash. Thanks for the tip. Buying organic is too expensive. I use the dirty dozen list as a guide.
Sharon
-
Mmmm....washing veges in apple cider vinegar. Excellent idea! Thanks.
I have been washing mine in freshly squeezed lemon juice. I get a big bag of lemons from costco and bg's.
I wash the organic ones too, in the hope that I can rid any chemicals from the plastic bag that the veges come in. LOL.

Should we all go gluten free?
It seems that many of us here are sensitive to gluten. Others may be too and probably not even know it. So, I thought I'd share some information that I learned. Here it goes..
Wheat was introduced into Europe during the Middle Ages. Until the 19th century, wheat was also usually mixed with other grains, beans and nuts; pure wheat flour has been milled into refined white flour only during the last 200 years. So why are so many of us sensitive to gluten? To me, the most likely logical reason is that our digestive tract hasn't adapted to gluten, especially the new "super-gluten" molecule.
Apparently, the term "super-gluten" pertains to American wheat strains which have a much higher gluten content than the European wheat strains. (I don't how much more.)
Super gluten is supposedly necessary to make Standard American Diet (SAD) foods like fluffy light commercial breads and biscuits, processed foods like cookies and crackers, pliable pastas and jumbo size bagels. Super- gluten is kind of like glue. It's the parts of these foods that makes the dough light and fluffy, yet still stick together.
Hidden sources of gluten include some soup mixes, salad dressings, soy sauces, cold cuts etc. They often appear labeled as "modified food starch." Malts Starches Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) Texturized vegetable protein (TVP) Natural flavoring.
Research estimates that 81% of Americans are predisposed to gluten intolerances. So, if that's the case, then gluten is practically indigestible in all people. The other 19% must have super human strength.
This intolerance is serious though. It can cause changes within the lining of the intestine which leads to the failure of the body to absorb nutrients correctly, Leaky Gut Syndrome.
I've noticed that several of my,otherwise healthy, friends have gone "gluten-free" because they believe it will improve their overall health. I think more and more health food nuts are realizing this.
The sad part is the majority of folks who actually are gluten intolerant don't even know it. That's because while some may have obvious problems with digestion, most do not. Many may instead sometimes get among others, inflammation in the skin (psoriasis), joints (arthritis) or respiratory tract (asthma) and/or allergies and brain fog, dizziness etc.
According to an article written by Dr. Hyman, which I've posted the link to below, "A recent large study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people with diagnosed, undiagnosed, and "latent" celiac disease or gluten sensitivity had a higher risk of death, mostly from heart disease and cancer."
Unfortunately, while there is evidence to support the fact that gluten intolerances exist, this condition is not widely known yet in the allopathic medicine community. Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity can appear like many other diseases. Often, physicians still mistakenly link their patients' weak health to diseases such as irritable bowel diseases, hashiminto, neuropathy, chronic fatigue, depression, autism, anemia, cancer, hypothyroid, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis--without first ruling out gluten sensitivity, which can be managed by adopting a gluten free diet.
Doing so changed my life. I no longer rely on coffee to give me energy. My body is actually absorbing the vitamins and nutrients I'm giving it. That will go a long way towards helping me further boost my immune system and hopefully prevent cancer.

I knew I forgot something....Marianna, I've been taking magnesium about a couple of hours before going to sleep. I noticed that I'm sleeping better. Thanks for the tip!
Sharon
-
I may have to try the magnesium. My hot flashes have gotten really bad and I am not sleeping well at all.
The gluten free cookbook that I like I bought on Amazon. It is "1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes" by Carol Fenster. I bought a couple of others but I constianly like the recipes and the flour mixtures that she uses.
-
Thanks Sherry, I looked up the book on Amazon. It sounds like it would be a good recipe book to have, especially if you like to entertain. The next time I go to book store, I will look for it.:)

Cereal Killers: Toxic Products We Give Our Children
http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=CA585FDBDCE1A0E9F3406C5A46C53011
When I watched this video, it reminded me of all the bad cereals I ate growing up. Some of my favorites were Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, Frosted Flakes. My mom didn't know any better. The host shows some healthy gluten free alternatives.
This morning I made a granola breakfast cereal. It's a keeper! The recipe is from Carol Alt's book , "Eating in The Raw" . None of the recipes require any cooking. In the foward she talks about how enzymes are destroyed when we cook our foods above 116 degrees. They become denatured, unable to do anything useful in the cell.
Here is the recipe...
Morning Granola (serves 4)
- 2 cups raw almonds, soaked for 8 hours and drained
- 1/2 cup raisins (I used prunes)
- 1/2 handful raw, germinated walnut pieces
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup organic wheat free raw rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Almond Nut Milk. (She has a recipe to make it)
- Raw honey to, taste
- Fresh fruit
Place the softened almonds, raisins, walnuts, lemon juice into a blender, and chop till crumbly. Mix in the oats. Add nut milk. Drizzle with honey and serve with fruit. This morning I used blueberries.
