All too often these days whenever we hear the word breast the word cancer
immediately follows. Breast cancer has become a 21st century phenomenon that
has inspired marketing everything from wine to cars. Massive events such as
“Walk for the Cure” have increased the level of awareness of this deadly disease
to an unprecedented height.
Yet despite the billions of dollars, decades of research, and a global humanitarian
crusade dedicated to developing prevention and a cure, breast cancer is still a
threat that countless women face and fear every day. Obviously, there is
something missing. Scientists, the medical community and even the drug
companies propound that breast cancer is a very complex problem with no single
solution.
Complicating matters further is the fact that women are NOT being given critical
information that would help them to have healthier breasts. Healthy breasts, just
like any other organ of the body, don’t get cancer or other debilitating diseases
when they are healthy.
Unfortunately, most women barely think about their breasts, never mind think
about the health of this most precious part of their body. We wash them in the
shower and then, every day, we put them in a cage we call a bra and rarely think
of them except for an annual physical exam at the doctor or a routine
mammogram appointment.
Can we do better than that? Do we really need to? The answer is YES to both
those questions. But let’s start with, “Do we really need to?”
• Everyday chemicals such as fire retardant and jet fuel are present in
mother’s breast milk, virtually without exception.
• Chemicals that were banned 30 years ago such as PCBs are found in
most breast tissue.
Here are 10 Secrets that you NEED to know about your breast health:
1. Wear your bra as little as possible and certainly do not wear a bra 24
hours a day. According to Sydney Ross Singer, author of “Dressed to Kill:
The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras,” their studies showed that
women who wear a bra 24 hours a day have a 125-fold (12,500%) higher
percentage of getting cancer than women who do not wear a bra at all.
2. Ensure that your bra is not leaving red marks on your shoulders as this is
an indication that your lymphatic system is being compromised. Your
lymphatic system is an important part of your immune system and plays a
crucial role in breast health.
3. Wash all new clothes before you wear them as they have toxic chemicals
on them (such as fire retardant) that are absorbed into your body. Also
many undergarments are made in less than sanitary conditions in
developing countries and undergarments may have been tried on previous
to you purchasing them.
4. Be mindful of what you put on your body in the form of toxic perfume,
make-up, tanning lotions, antiperspirants and body creams as everything
is absorbed through the skin and filtered through the liver, thereby
straining your immune system and diminishing your breast health.
5. Love your breasts. Emotions play a role in our health and a positive,
happy viewpoint about your breasts can contribute to healthier breasts.
6. Do not use birth control pills. They interfere with the normal hormonal
balance of a woman and the increase of breast cancer in women has
skyrocketed since the introduction of the birth control pill.
9. Find ways to deal with stress, including meditation. According to Dr. Nan
Lu, a classically trained doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and author
of “Traditional Chinese Medicine – A Guide to Healing from Breast
Cancer,” he believes meditation is the best healing exercise.
10. Learn how to do lymphatic breast massage as it helps the flow of lymph in
your breast tissue and promotes healthy breasts. For instructions on

At Plexus Pink, we are committed to helping women take breast health back into
their own hands, literally! It is time to raise our voices and bring about urgently
needed changes to protect ourselves (and our children) from the toxic, chemical-
laden, hormone ridden society we have come to accept as normal.
In 1978, Israel experienced a public outcry and was threatened with legal action
resulting in the banning of many toxic chemicals such as DDT and PCB’s that
were directly linked in a 1976 study with breast cancer in women. Once Israel
banned these chemicals, they began noting a significant decrease in the level of
toxic chemicals found in human breast milk. Over the next 10 years, the rate of
breast cancer deaths dropped sharply, with a 30 percent drop in mortality for
women under 44 years old, and an 8 percent overall decline.
