RoundUp Herbicide Causes Severe Candidiasis

Environmental Poisoning:  How Round UP Herbicide Has Caused A Sudden Rampant Yeast Infection.

DSCO 1850Gardens and grass verges should never be sprayed with weedkillers such as RoundUp.  We are still being exposed to this terrible poison by councils all over the country who spray it around our pathways and parks on a regular basis.  There are better, safer methods of weed-control other than using RoundUp.  This is a photo of Dunedin Botanic Gardens where, I believe, RoundUp weedkiller is not used.

Curing Candida Infection:  Here is how it happened, and here is how I cured it:

I pray that all councils in New Zealand stop using herbicides around our towns.  There are safer alternatives, such as steam, and biodynamic methods, and homeopathic methods, which can be adopted instead.

My experience of being subjected to the herbicide RoundUp proves to me that yeast infections are very often the result of environmental poisons on the body.  RoundUp weed killer, and other herbicides and insecticides,  kill off the beneficial bacteria in the bowel, which means that the candida albicans organism has the opportunity to take over.

Environmental poisons such as RoundUp weaken your immune system drastically, starting with the reduction of the ‘good’ bacteria.  The whole system can be affected by poisons such as RoundUp, and very quickly too.  The whole nervous system suffers from the use of exposure to RoundUp.  Your eyesight, bones, blood pressure, skin, digestive system, hearing, and brain can all be affected.  Of course, sensitive people, which category includes children,  will suffer more than insensitive people.  Which is why this deadly poison should NEVER EVER be sprayed around lawns, houses, and streets where children often walk bare-foot.  We got no warning that this spraying was about to be done around our houses, but even with a warning we would not have been  spared from the damaging effects of this poison.

It is exactly a week since the council sprayed the herbicide all around the town, and all around the gardens and paths of our residential complex.

A few days after the spraying, I wrote about the immediate effects that this poisoning had had on myself, as well as those which my friend experienced.

The Vitamin C megadoses, plus homeopathic remedies, helped enormously during those first few days following the spraying.  But a week later, because of recontamination because of walking along the streets each day, and having the RoundUp still lying about our houses with no rain to dilute it, I have become very sick with an attack of candida.  Because the digestive system is affected, I now have to avoid using homeopathic remedies, herbs, cooked vegetables, coffee, etc, until the infection subsides.

Today, suddenly, the stomach pain became very severe and I felt that I would faint any minute.  Dizziness, pain in the head, blurry vision, nerve pain and nervous tremors, heart palpitations, and a racing pulse all manifested as a reaction to the RoundUp in our living environment, which we have had to put up with for a week now.

The yeast infection has affected every part of my system and I have had to resume the very strict candida diet, omitting all fruit, grains, potatoes and many other things.

I am taking non-acidic vitamin C in large doses – 1000mg-2000mg several times a day – around 8000mg on the first day.  I will reduce the dose by about half tomorrow.

I also took two 500mg tablets of Paracetamol in one dose, to quickly reduce the symptoms of poisoning.  A few hours later, I took just one more Paracetamol, with 1000mg non-acidic vitamin C.

These measures have brought the infection under control.

Unless I can persuade the council to stop spraying around our houses, I think I will have to move to a safer place.  I have not been exposed to such quantities of herbidice for many years now.  This is one hazard of living in a New Zealand country farming community – there is just not the awareness here of the danger of widespread herbicide use, compared to the  awareness which is growing in Auckland.

The first time they sprayed here was about six weeks ago, shortly after I arrived.  The symptoms were the same, with bone pain, dizziness, nausea, etc.  But with this second dose of RoundUp poisoning, six weeks later, I am suffering more severely, and the symptoms are longer-lasting.

My elderly friend did not realize the council had done any spraying around her house, and went out into her garden as usual.  She was barefoot, and waded into the area which the council had sprayed profusely, and which now, a week later, is totally brown and dead from the effects of the spray.  My friend got a terrible allergic reaction the next day, with swollen legs which were covered with a very angry-looking red rash.

The rash became a little better, but she has been wandering around on the grass near her house, bare-foot, and the rash came back again.  I was worried that she might get an infection in the skin, which was beginning to break in parts.  At her age, this could have been very dangerous.  She eventually went to the doctor to get an antibiotic, just in case septocaemia set in.

Note:  The above treatment worked to remedy the sudden attack of candidiasis which had resulted from being exposed to the poisonous herbicide ‘Round Up’.  At the end of the first day, after powering into those 1000mg tablets of non-acidic Vitamin C, plus two doses of paracetamol, the attack subsided.  The following day I took another couple of doses of paracetamol, just one tablet each time, and took around 6 doses of 1000mg vitamin C tablets through the day.   I kept away from all fruits, cooked veges, grains, bread, biscuits, yoghurt, etc, which had the effect of starving out the candida.  I ate high protein food – that beautiful steak – for two days, by which time the infection was over. On the third day after the attack, I resumed eating a normal healthy diet, with fruit – and coffee too.  But I am avoiding yeast foods such as bread, and amping up the high quality protein and fat foods.

Now I am meticulously avoiding the areas around the town, and around my house, which have been sprayed with Round Up.  If it rains this weekend, the residues on the grass will hopefully be washed away.

And, after suffering many distressing symptoms, with much effort put in, and expense too – Vitamin C megadoses are not cheap –  I now have recovered from this deluge of Round Up spraying,  so my health should be perfect until the council come around to poison us all over again – in around 6 weeks’ time.

Herbicides should never be sprayed in public places.

On-Going Chest Pain Is It Lung Cancer?

Here is a quote from my recent post: http://merrilynhope.com/sexism-ageism-racism-and-no-jobs-in-new-zealand-june-2013/

5th July 2013 – Unfortunately it appears as if the council are not going to stop the spray of RoundUp poison around our houses – weedkiller has been sprayed around the town and also about our flats.  Yesterday, I smelt the distinctive smell of weedkiller as I walked downtown.  It affected my breathing immediately and brought back the flu sumptoms.  Today, the weedkiller smell is very strong outside my flat. Best thing is to stay indoors to avoid walking in it and avoid breathing the fumes as much as possible.


Controlling Your Allergies In New Zealand

Toxic Chemicals In The Form of  Vaccinations, Agricultural Herbicides, Pesticides and Artificial Chemical Fertilizers – These are the OBVIOUS reasons that people get allergies.  Yet they are rarely   mentioned in public discussions by doctors and specialists in allergy control. Why is that, you may ask – Well, there is a lot of  money to be made by doctors, specialists, and drug companies, who are likely to give you yet another drug or concoction of some sort, ostensibly to ‘help’ your allergy symptoms.  If the real cause of allergies and other problems such as high or low blood pressure was made known,  – i.e  that the chemicals in our food, medications and environment are the cause of ill health and allergies, there would be no need for around 95% of all medications. The drug companies, and many specialists, would go broke if all toxic chemicals and  vaccinations were outlawed.  Simple as that.

IMG_0758

Toxic chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, insecticides and vaccination drugs were not even mentioned on TVNZ Channel One this morning, 9th November 2011, when an allergy specialist from an allergy ‘clinic’ was interviewed just before 9AM on their breakfast programme.  The specialist said that allergies to many things, including pollen, kiwifruit, apples, peanuts and other foods, are on the rise all over the developed world.

Question:  Why is that, he was asked.

Answer:  One hypothesis, the allergy specialist said, is that children, especially, do not develop their immune systems properly, because they are kept in sterile environments when they are young.  This, as we all know, is a factor in people having deficient immune systems.  If you are not exposed to germs in the environment, your immune system does not develop immunity to these germs, and the result is that you have low immunity to things like flu and other infections, and are likely to suffer allergies.

But NO MENTION was made  by the allergy specialist about the methods which are commonly used to get rid of germs, and bugs and weeds, -vaccinations, antibiotics,  herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, and artificial fertilizers  which are widely used in our country and in other  ‘developed’ countries of the western world –  These things, as well as killing off all the helpful germs, actually do damage to your body, to your liver, your brain, and your immune system.  They cause cancer, for a start, as well as allergies.

And no mention on this interview with the allergy specialist about  the  effects of antibiotics, which are pumped into our children via the vaccinations which governments, at the will of the drug companies, are trying to make mandatory world-wide.  Antibiotics, including vaccinations, are harmful to the health and should never be used unless there is an emergency.  Each vaccination and antibiotic that you give your child will be lowering your child’s natural immunity, and causing harm to the liver and immune function.  These chemicals and antibiotics not only cause allergies, they cause  depression, alcoholism, arthritis, cancer, infertility, parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, autism,  and other conditions of ill health, if not now, then later in life.

The allergy specialist went on tho say that ‘ “There are still holes in this argument of sterile environments”, and that this theory  of  environments being too sterile  has not been fully accepted.  Does he not have a brain, or is he being paid bonuses by some  drug company for not mentioning toxic chemicals such as vaccinations, artificial fertilizers,  agricultural and household insecticides and weed killers, etc as being the REAL CAUSE OF ALLERGIES?  The allergy specialist has everything to be gained if  the real cause is kept secret, which is that toxic chemicals in food and environment, and vaccinations, cause allergies:  There is money to be gained by  drug companies, doctors, and  allergy specialists while people continue to get sick from drugs and environmental poisons.

The allergy specialist refrained from stating the obvious – the part of his hypothesis which is missing, actually – and that is that toxic chemicals used in both agriculture and about the house, and medical vaccinations, are the real reason that people are increasingly suffering from allergies.

Antibiotics and Vaccinations  Weaken the Immune System:   Be warned that those vaccinations you give your child will weaken your child’s immune system, making him or her more likely to suffer allergies of various kinds.  The allergy specialist did not mention the vaccinations which are given on a mamoth scale to children in New Zealand and all over the so called ‘developed’ world.

Food Is Contaminated With Toxic Chemicals:  No wonder that the allergy specialist mentioned that in New Zealand, many people suffer allergies from kiwifruit.  Did you know that an antibiotic is currently being used on kiwifruit in New Zealand, in an effort to curb the disease which threatens to wipe out all our kiwifruit orchards?   I have noticed that kiwifruit over the past two years tastes of a chemical which I cannot identify, but which gives me a headache.  Formerly, before this chemical was being used, our kiwifruit was not so toxic.  Now I know that, whatever other chemicals are being used to grow kiwifruit, there is a good dose of the antibiotic Streptomycin in it.  Streptomycin is the antibiotic being sprayed on kiwifruit vines.  So kiwifruit – which should normally be a wonderful food, high in Vitamin C, and cleansing fibre for the intestines, are probably causing more harm than good now, because of the poisons you will be ingesting with every kiwifruit eaten.  Your children will be taking in the antibiotic Streptomycin, as well as many other chemicals – The antibiotic Streptomycin on its own is enough to cause problems with your immune system function, and give you allergies.

Organic Food is Best:  But even organic food will have traces of agricultural chemicals which have been used in the past.  Protecting your organic plants from toxic spray which is being used down the road is always a problem for the organic farmer or agriculturalist.

Vaccinations and Antibiotics are just the worst thing for growing children.  They will predispose your children to allergies, arthritis, cancer, heart problems, and other things later in life.  Evidience of the failure of the vaccination system can be seen in the escalating incidence of glue ear, and complications because of measles, mumps, and other common childhood infections.

I have proved that no vaccinations is best.  After my eldest child, whom I had allowed the plunket nurse to vaccinate, developed terrible eczema, stomach pain, ear trouble, and sleeplessness, I decided that never would I allow any child of mine to be vaccinated again.  My daughter has a year old child who  is  a second generation child of a no-vaccination family.  He is breast fed on demand.  He has had NO ear trouble,  NO allergies, and nor has he had any illness of any kind.  This is nature’s way, given that his environment is chemical free, and he is breast-fed – that he should be immune from infections such as measles, until he is old enough to cope with these infections naturally.  Of course he WILL get measles, mumps, and other infections, but his immune system will naturally beat off these diseases, and strengthen his immunity in the process.

Trouble is that many babies being born in New Zealand are being born to parents who were vaccinated as children.  This means that the parents’ immunity has been interfered with, and so the new baby will not have as strong an immunity as it normally would, if the parents had not been vaccinated.  This is why these epidemics of measles and other childhood diseases have become rampant, and especially virulent.   95% of New Zealanders have apparently been vaccinated.  This means that 95% of the population are likely to have weaker, sickly children who are less able to combat these common childhood illnesses without suffering complications of some kind.  But if mankind is to survive at all, then it is important that we build up the immunity of the next generation.  This will take some skill and extreme care, to get the next generation surviving without the use of antibiotics and vaccinations.  This is where the expertise of a classical homeopath, ayurvedic practitioner, and vitamin therapist will be necessary, if you decide not to immunize or vaccinate your child.  It CAN be done.   I believe all vaccinations and immunizations should be discarded in favour of the homeopathic alternatives, to get our children back to health again.

Natural Remedies To Help Pre Menstrual Tension

Herbs, Homeopathy and Vitamins  For PMT

Pre-Menstrual Tension: Many women suffer from pre-menstrual tension.  According to Russell Setright, who wrote the “Get Well” book in 1990, 70% of women experience the symptoms which are related to pre-menstrual tension.

What Are The Symptoms of Pre Menstrual Tension? The typical symptoms are headache or migraine, mood swings,  anxiety, depression and fatigue.  Other  symptoms which you might experience before the period are: painful and swollen breasts, pain in the stomach, water retention, and cystitis.

Rule Number One: To prevent PMT, or pre-menstrual tension,  make your diet more alkaline.  This means eating more fresh vegetables and fruit, brown rice instead of bread, and eating less of wheat products, sugar and dairy foods.  Celery and alalfa and mung bean sprouts should form part of your daily diet, as these things are very alkaline.   Often, a gluten-free diet helps people with PMT.  Many people are sensitive to gluten in wheat flour and other products, and they do not realize it.  So experiment – do without bread, cake and pastries for a week, and avoid all products which may contain gluten and preservatives or chemicals of any kind.  This just could do the trick.

Supplements To Help Pre Menstrual Tension: For the emotional and mental symptoms, Vitamin B is helpful, especially B6 and B12. Another very helpful supplement is Evening Primrose Oil, which is  useful in calming the nerves, giving a good night’s sleep,  and in counteracting depression.  Evening Primrose Oil has been scientifically proven to alleviate the symptoms of Pre-Menstrual Tension.

Dandelion:  Blood Purifier and  Diuretic Herb: Most herbs  which encourage urine flow are useful in counteracting pre menstrual tension.  This is because toxins are expelled from the body through the urine.  Dandelion helps to remove  toxins, as well as excess water from your system:  If you get swollen legs, or swollen fingers, or a distended stomach before your period, then dandelion can help to reduce this fluid.  Dandelion is a great blood-purifier, which also has a beneficial effect on the liver:  It helps the liver to de-toxify, and  can help prevent gall-stones.  It is rich in many vitamins and minerals.   Dandelion is the herb which is most used in PMT.  Drink dandelion root coffee instead of that real coffee to help PMT.

Alfalfa Tea:  Alfalfa is a great detoxifier of the blood.  It is also highly alkaline which is healthful for the body.  A body which is too acidic can result in pre-menstrual tension.  You can drink up to five or six cups per day.  To make alfalfa tea, simply put a teaspoon of alfalfa seeds into a large cup, and pour on boiling water.  Let cool, to warm, then drink.  You can use the ‘grounds’ for a top-up before taking fresh seeds for another cup.  Again – drink less coffee, and more of the herbal teas such  alfalfa and dandelion root coffee to help pre menstrual tension.

Liquorice, or Licorice, is recommended by Russell Setright:  His dosage is 500mg per day, taken 5 days before the period. Liquorice can help soothe the nerves and detoxify the liver and intestines. However, in my experience,, while I just love liquorice, it has a tendency to lower the blood pressure.  If you are like me, and you have LOW blood pressure anyway, then too much liquorice will further lower your blood pressure, and this can make you feel terrible, and your depression worse.  So go easy on the Liquorice.

It is best to begin taking your supplements seven days prior to the period:  These will help stabilize your system, and aid it in its  natural production of  hormones.  Aldosterone is a hormone which is is linked to the menstrual cycle, and this is secreted seven days prior to the period.

It is best to avoid drinking coffee for AT LEAST  three days prior to the period.  Coffee depletes Vitamin B and other nutrients from the body, so it is good to limit your coffee drinking while you are suffering PMT.

Toxins in the body and the blood are usually the reasons that people get PMT.  Some chemicals which are used as preservatives, and herbicides and pesticides – even plastics – get into our blood-streams and cause havoc with our hormones. It is helpful to many sufferers  of PMT to fast on just fruit and vegetables for three days prior to the period.  This helps to reduce toxins in the body:  Being free of these toxins can have a remarkable effect in the curing of  pre menstrual tension.

Homeopathic Remedies which might be useful for pre-mensrual tension are:  Aconite, Bryonia, Chamomilla, Coffea, Nat. mur, Pulsatilla,  Sepia.  Of course, unless you know your remedies well, you should seek some advice from a health professional who understands Homeopathy.

I would recommend Homeopathic Remedy Coffea if you are especially irritable and cannot sleep, or if  you drink too much coffee.  In Homeopathy, the remedy Coffea comes from Coffee, but it actually has the opposite effect to coffee, in that it is a mild sedative.  Homeopathic Coffea can be helpful in reducing the desire to drink coffee.

One Homeopathic remedy which I have found to be useful in helping to dry up excess fluid in the body is Homeopathic Bryonia.  This can help depression and morbid thoughts too.  It is a useful remedy to have in the house for chest infections and phlegmatic illnesses, as it dries up fluid.   Worth a try if you think this might be suitable for you:  I would take the Bryonia a week before the period is due, and take it for only three days, three doses per day of just a few drops.  If you should feel worse, then stop taking the Bryonia.

Pulsatilla is a good one for PMT if you are excessively weepy and sad.  Again, I would take this about a week before the period, but you could try taking it as soon as you have the pre-menstrual symptoms.

Different remedies work for different people:  The professional Homeopath will take all your symptoms, and consider all sorts of things about you, your day, and your life before deciding on a remedy.  But there are some fairly standard remedies for some conditions which will generally work for most people.

Causes of Breast Cancer

Causes of Breast Cancer

Many articles will tell you that the causes of breast cancer are unknown. Some doctors will tell you that breast cancer is hereditary. However, there are some  chemicals and some factors which are known to contribute towards people succumbing to breast cancer.

Radiation

X Ray radiation of the chest area in childhood, or during youth, can cause breast cancer to develop later in a woman’s life.

The women who were exposed to the Hiroshima bomb succumbed more easily to breast cancer, and other cancers,  than women of the same generation who were not irradiated.

Your health can suffer, and your immune system beomome damaged, because of living, or working, too close to electricity transformers, meter boxes, cell phone towers,  overhead power lines, sleeping next to power sources, and over use of  cell phones.

Toxic Chemicals Contaminate Environment

For most people, the main risk factors in getting breast cancer lie in the fact that so many toxic chemicals are widely used in our environments and our homes.

Petro-chemicals can cause breast cancer, and other cancers, to develop.

Organo-chlorides which are  found in many herbicides, and pesticides, are known to have a carcinogen effect, especially in  the forming of breast, ovarian and uterine cancers.

Herbicides, widely used by councils in spraying whole areas at a time, which they will call a spraying  ‘programme’, are a real threat to adults, and even more  to children who often walk these sprayed areas to get to and from school, or to the school bus. Even if we are not actively walking in these areas, the spray drift is affecting all those who live in the area.

Herbicide use in public areas should definitely be banned, for the sake of all. The risk is just too great. Our children may be in fairly good health now, but these poisons will affect the health of many children in later life, and predispose them to cancer and other disease related to  immune disfunction.

Toxins such as Propylene Glycol, Dioxin, which is found in 245T, or Agent Orange, DDT, 24D, Roundup, and many other herbicides and insecticides are all thought to increase cancer risk. Some of these chemicals are now banned, such as DDT. However, DDT  still remains in the soils where it was used, and these residues still find their way into our food chain.

245T, which is now banned, was known to affect the genetic structure of humans. This has resulted in deformities of children, who may be at risk of having deformed children themselves, since 245T affects the genes.

We who protested against the use of 245T, or ‘agent orange’ in the 1970’s were told by government authorities in New Zealand that it was not proven that this chemical caused cancer, or deformities, or anything else, and so its use would be continued here.

Actually, the effects of 2,4,5,T and 2,4,D, WERE known – the effects of using ‘Agent Orange’ , a combination of the two chemicals, in Viet Nam proved how harmful it was. It was banned in all other western countries long before New Zealand banned it, because Dow chemicals  (Ivan Watkins Dow) were making the stuff here, at New Plymouth, New Zealand.

After aerial spraying over our house and stream which was our water source, I became very ill.  I was around six months pregnant at the time.  Friends advised to go and see the local doctor in the Hokianga, so that my case should be recorded as being caused by 2,4,5,T.  Hopefully, we thought, a register of all ill-health related to 2,4,5,T was being kept.

But, instead of recording my ill-health as the after-math of aerial 2,4,5,T spraying, the doctor told me I was imagining I was ill.  I was a hypochondriac, he said, because there was no proof that 2,4,5,T caused any harm to human beings.  He failed to record my case of 2,4,5,T related symptoms – breathing difficulties, asthma-like symptoms, feeling nauseous all the time, bone pains, and having literally no energy to do the simplest task.

Six months later, my baby had died.  And around four or five years later, I had a breast lump which my doctor advised to have biopsied.

Instead of trusting any more medical people, or scientists, I decided to cure the thing myself.  This was when I discovered, first, Walter Last, the Whangarei healer, and then the Dr Gerson therapy for cancer.  Both these healers, in their own way, helped me recover.

Common sense must prevail. Don’t wait for chemicals to be banned after they have wreaked havoc in the environment, and killed people.  Avoid them NOW, and protect your children’s health, as well as your own.

Harmful Chemicals in Personal Care Products

Many harmful chemicals are used in cosmetics and personal care products, and even baby products. Dioxin is one chemical which is still to be found in some under-arm deodorants, among other cosmetic products.

The chemical list of carcenogens is extensive and lengthy. The simple  message is that you should avoid ALL the chemicals that you can. Learn how to live without them. Learn how to manage weeds and insects by natural means. If you can’t, then learn how to live with the weeds instead, as they will most likely benefit your health, whereas  toxic herbicides won’t.

Toxic Chemicals are in Our Clothing Fabrics

These days, much of our clothing, including our underwear,  is made cheaply in China, and this means that very often, the fabrics are synthetic, petroleum-based products. These synthetic fabrics contain many chemicals which adversely affect the health.  Often, cheap dyes are used in clothing made in China: Many of the dyes used to dye fabric and leather contain excessive amounts of formaldehyde, which is a carcenogen. These chemicals are readily absorbed through the pores of your skin, and into your body, where they can be stored. These stored chemicals are a potential risk in getting cancer.

The Bra Restricts Blood and Lymph

The Wearing of the bra in order to keep a perfect shape might contribute towards some women developing breast cancer. It is thought that the wearing of a tight bra around the whole of the chest and breast area could contribute to cancerous conditions setting in, because the bra restricts the blood and energy flow. The bra stops the lymph from travelling freely about the body, locking it in around the breast area. This means that drainage of waste products from the chest area will be blocked, because the lymph cannot carry them away efficiently.

The Contraceptive Pill or Injection

Contraceptives interfere with your body’s hormone production and regulation, which is why the contraceptive is a risk factor in getting cancer. It also robs the body of certain nutrients, which is another negative factor. There are many  other medications which  can contribute towards cancer and other degenerative disease, but the contraceptive  pill or injection probably poses the biggest threat, as it is taken long term, and this  means that your hormonal system is continually being interfered with, long term.

Innoculations Lower Your Immunity:

Innoculations for diseases like  influenza, whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria and the like,  actually reduce your immunity. They might protect you against one outbreak of flu, or some other disease, but at the risk of getting more severe diseases in later life. Children who have had the range of injections for various diseases in childhood will have an immune system which is severly weakened, which will predispose them to immune function diseases like cancer, including  breast cancer, arthritis, and  multiple sclerosis, in later years.

Personally, after my eldest child was affected adversely by a series of injections in childhood, I refused to take part in this innoculation charade. There are other options, like homeopathy, vitamin therapy, acupuncture, and herbal medecine which prevent diseases and work cures. However, there is a place for everything: get advice from your doctor or homeopath  before you decide NOT to go for that innoculation which everybody is racing to get.

Alcohol, Marijuana, and Cigarettes

Women who drink more than two glasses of alcohol per day are twice as likely to get breast cancer, or some other form of cancer, than women who rarely drink. Marijuana smokers, and cigarette smokers, also double their chances of getting breast cancer, and other cancers, including lung cancer.

Nutritional Deficiencies Can Cause Cancer

Give yourself and your family a diet which is high in all the necessary nutrients. Ensure that you eat plenty of foods which are rich in  Iodine and Calcium. These are both essential to good health and to preventing cancer. Make sure that every meal contains plenty of Roughage . Roughage is the other essential factor in preventing cancer.

Remember the three  cancer preventers – Roughage – Iodine – Calcium.

Avoid Processed Foods which have Chemical Additives

Processed foods contain many chemicals which are hazardous to the health, especially if you eat a lot of this food. These chemicals build up in the body, until one day – boomph – some disease ‘hits’ you, like breast cancer. Detoxifying diets, or the castor oil treatment taken once a week, are ways in which you can reduce the toxins in your body, to help prevent cancer.

Other Things to Do to Prevent Breast Cancer

Give up smoking. Limit, or give up alcohol. Give up all drugs unless it is a medication which your life depends on.

You can remove your bra when you get home from work. You can make sure that it is made of cotton, rather than a synthetic material, and that it is not too tight.

Well wash that new bra before beginning to wear it.

Try to wear cotton fabrics rather than anything synthetic. This is especially  important for fabrics which touch the skin. Again, well wash any new item of clothing before you begin to wear it.

You can take measures to detoxify the body, so that any toxic residues which have built up in your body get eliminated over time. Days on the apple diet, or the castor oil cleanse used once a week, will help your body to detoxify. You can help your children’s health by giving them mainly apples to eat on certain days of the week, as this will help them to detoxify as well.

You can throw out all the chemicals – all the herbicides and insecticides which you have about your house. You can check your make-up. Throw out all dubious products. Give up hair dye and nail polish – these contribute to cancer.
