Go Bra-Less and be Free from Breast Cancer
The increasing rate of breast cancer has changed so many things
about how an average lady should dress, eat or live. It is
estimated that every two minutes someone is diagnosed with
breast cancer and every thirteen minutes some dies as a result
of breast cancer. This is an alarming record. It has also been
shown that breast cancer tends to be higher in cultures where
bras are worn frequently compared to where bras are absent.
In a report titled 'Dress to Kill, the link between breast
cancer and bras', the authors examined the habits of 4700
American women, nearly half of them had breast cancer before
compiling the report. It was discovered that wearing a bra for
12 hours daily increased the risk for breast cancer, cystic
breasts, breast pain, breast tenderness and other breast related
conditions. Ladies who had bras on for 18-24 hours daily have
over a 100% increased incidence of breast cancer compared to
those who don't wear bras at all. It is quite funny, but what
this suggests is that by wearing a bra you are 3-4 times more
likely to get breast cancer than by smoking cigarettes.
You may be wondering 'why is this so?' but the facts available
are that bras create constant pressure on the breast, which
compresses and constricts and hinders the lymphatic movement to
the chest area. If you are a woman who wears a bra and you see
red marks and lines after taking your bra off, you are at a
greater risk for breast cancer.
The role of lymph is to flush out toxins and debris from
tissues. If this flow is impaired, like when wearing a bra,
tissues get toxic. We also impair toxin release by using
underarm deodorants, which plug up and block our pores.
In another similar study done in the UK with a hundred women who
suffer from fibrocystic breast disease, it was discovered that
going bra free for three months had an astounding effect on the
cure of these womens' disease. This study showed how effective
this single treatment of going bra free was in overcoming a
particular breast condition.
The bra has been a fundamental part of female clothing for so
long, no matter what it is associated with it, I understand that
it isn't going to be an easy task to suddenly drop a life long
habit, not when it has to do with such crucial part of the body.
This is understandable. You cannot just go bra free overnight
but if you must wear a bra, try it along the lines below which
will most likely reduce the risk associated with the wearing of
a bra:
- Don't wear tight bras. Make sure the bra has a loose fit and
always remove it when it is not necessary to wear it.
- Choose a bra with no under wires. These wires block the energy
meridians from moving freely through their natural cycles.
- Around your menstrual periods, use a larger size bra as
increased oestrogen levels in the blood during this period cause
tissues to retain fluids making the breasts larger and the bra
tighter.
- Stop the use of deodorants/antiperspirants, if you can. Wash
your armpits often with soap and water instead.
- Bathe daily. The body releases 30% of all the toxins it
produces through the skin.
- Use a shower filter that filters out chlorine. Chlorine also
causes several forms of cancer. As you shower, your skin and
lungs are absorbing huge amounts of chlorine.
- Occasionally incorporate Poke Root tincture into your diet to
help the lymph flow more easily (especially if you have little
white dots around the outside of your irises. This is known as a
Lymphatic Rosary and is a sign of a slow or sluggish lymphatic
system.)
- Sleep naked or in a stretchy T-shirt. Women who wear cotton or
nylon non-stretchable materials while they sleep and who roll
over often, can cut circulation off as these materials resist
stretching.
- And most importantly wear bras only when it is completely
necessary, this will reduce the number of hours you wear bra a
day to the barest minimum.
