How to Care for Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is cancer of the breast tissue. It is classified by the type of tissue in which it originates, such as the milk ducts or connective tissue, and by how much it has spread. Symptoms that may indicate breast cancer include a lump in the breast, chronic swelling of the breast, and changes in shape of the breast or nipple. Treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or hormone blocking drugs. Natural remedies may help delay or avoid the onset of breast cancer.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Flaxseed oil
  • Special Supplements
  • Special Herbs
  • Soy milk
  • Soybeans
  • Wheat Bran
  1. Step 1

    SUPPLEMENTS

    • Flaxseed oil (refrigerated): 1 tsp of the oil;
    Or one to three 500-mg capsules daily.
    • Limonene: 5-50mg daily.
    • Melatonin: one 3-mg timed-release tablet,
    one to two hours before bedtime.
    • Selenium: 100-200 mcg daily.
    • Soy isoflavonoids: 40-60 mg daily

    HERBS = Psyllium: as directed on label.

  2. Step 2

    DRINK SOYMILK, the health benefits of soy are impressive. It’s a good source of protein, cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat, with 25% of the daily recommended value of calcium and 30 % of the daily recommended value of vitamin D. Soymilk not only may help reduce the risk of osteoporosis, but as part of a low-fat diet, also may help prevent heart disease. Soymilk is lactose free, calcium enriched and vitamin fortified also. If you don't like to drink soymilk alone, you can put it in your cereal, or use it in your shakes.

  3. Step 3

    EAT SOYBEANS, soybeans are high in polyunsaturated fat, which can help lower cholesterol. Unrefined soybean oil is also a good source of omega-3’s, which may help protect against not only heart disease, but also helps arthritis and cancer. As with many other vegetable oils, there’s a good bit of vitamin E and no sodium nor cholesterol.

  4. Step 4

    EAT WHEAT BRAN, wheat bread is a great source of fiber, wheat bran also provides a good deal of magnesium, which helps regulate blood pressure, and it has a bit of blood building iron. Wheat bran is the nutritious, fibrous outer covering of wheat grain. You can serve it in hot cereal; spread it on muffins or bread: use instead of bread crumbs to coat meats or fish before baking. Or sprinkle on top of a casserole.
