Breast Health Information

Breast Cancer/Breast Health Links:

Carol Sutton’s Free Pink Ribbons and Other Resources – Breast cancer survivor with beautiful art work and pink ribbons you can use.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure — Have you ever read about the promise between the two sisters?

The Assertive Patient — From what I can tell so far, this site chronicles the life, thoughts, challenges and joys of breast cancer patient Jeanne Sather.  Thought provoking reading about insurance and medical care in this country.

Think Before You Pink — a most interesting perspective about buying just anything you see with a pink ribbon on it.

Things I Implement Daily for Breast Health:**

  • 30 minutes of brisk walking or strenuous gardening
  • 500 mg of black currant seed oil twice a day
  • the use of olive oil
  • 4-5 cups daily of green tea
  • 1-2 tbsp of flaxseed oil daily
  • fish oil tablets, one three times a day 
  • 5-8 servings of fresh fruits and/or vegetables daily
  • dulse as a regular snack
  • I stay away from unfermented soy completely
  • abstention from coffee
  • vitamin C — 500 mg tablets, 1 to 4 of them daily, 1 at a time throughout the day as it comes to mind :)

**Please note that I am simply posting what I implement for my personal use.  I have many books that I read from and use for reference.  I am also constantly checking for breast cancer/breast health news.  I am not responsible for what you choose to implement or the outcome thereof.  It is up to you to do your own reading, research, and decision-making.  :)
