The SCREENING Debate or Why Not PREVENTION!

A new study in Annals of Internal Medicine, also discussed in today's New York Times,  attempts to determine which women with "dense" breast tissue would benefit most from supplemental screening.  The authors do note that previous studies have shown that women with "dense" breast tissue do have more breast cancers.  The Times further reports: An expert, not part of the study, Dr. Carol Lee, a diagnostic radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, said, “I think this paper gives some very good information. But I don’t think it answers the question.”

I couldn't agree more! It certainly doesn't completely answer the question.  You still need to discuss the issue with your Doctor.  Until the matter is sorted out: Why not consider what you may do for prevention?  


A study in Cancer Research confirms the inverse association between carotenoid levels and breast cancer
: overall, a 30% reduction in breast cancers with higher carotenoid levels (similar to many other studies).  Especially remarkable, in women with the highest breast density (and highest risk for breast cancer), those women with higher carotenoid levels had 50% fewer breast cancers!

Eat your colorful vegetables and fruits (more carotenoids), take your Lifepak™nano (more about that in future posts) and get your Skin Carotenoid Score to monitor your increase in level of protection from breast cancer!  The more carotenoids the FEWER breast cancers!  


Together we can prevent 90,000 breast cancers this year!

The Breast Cancer FAC's starting point!

Let's start at the beginning.  Get the appropriate screening for breast cancer: studies have shown that screening for breast cancer saves lives (previous post).

Then, when you know you don't have breast cancer, find out your level of protection from breast cancer, by getting a 30 second palm scan with the BioPhotonic Scanner to learn your Skin Carotenoid Score.  After that we can help you, not only know where you are in your level of protection, but help you make a plan to raise your level of protection and follow your progress with serial scans.  The evidence is clear that the higher the Skin Carotenoid Score the higher the level of protection from most chronic diseases and cancers, including breast cancer (evidence).

Imagine 90,000 fewer breast cancer cases this year!

Envision yourself on the measurable course to the highest level of protection!

Resolve to do all you can to avoid breast cancer and be one of those 90,000!


Together we can prevent 90,000 breast cancers this year!

Breast Cancer FAC's, just the FAC's

Yes, that's right: The Breast Cancer FAC's.

Food: which foods to eat and which to avoid, how much and when

Activity: moving around, not sitting, and of course, REGULAR EXERCISE

Carotenoids: where do you get them and which are the best for you 

Everything you wanted to know about how to lower your risk for breast cancer!

Blog posts over the next few months will look in depth at each of these Breast Cancer FAC's so that you may determine what you can do to lower your personal risk for breast cancer.  We can monitor your progress toward maximum protection with the BioPhotonic Scanner.
