Breast Cancer Reduction

Want to reduce your risk of Breast Cancer by a THIRD? How about by HALF?

If you still haven’t made the commitment to your nutrition, today’s the best day to start! As you probably know, I strongly support the supplementation of a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet with three main supplements: Vitamin D, Omega 3, and Magnesium.

Recently several studies have come out showing a DRASTIC reduction in breast cancer incidence in those women who supplemented with Vitamin D and Omega 3.

In a 24-page questionnaire of 35,000 postmenopausal women who did not have a history of breast cancer, researchers found a 32 percent reduced risk of breast cancer in women who regularly used Fish Oil supplements which contain high levels of the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA.

32 percent!

As for Vitamin D, one recent study showed no change in breast cancer incidence when women would take the recommended dietary allowance of Vitamin D, which is a measly 400 IU.

However, when the supplementation was increased to 2,000 IU per day, the risk plummeted. If your blood has circulating Vitamin D at the level of 52 ng/ml (a test to find out what level you have costs about $50), the risk was halved.

HALVED!

If you haven’t attended one of my nutrition classes, please make an effort to do so. You simply aren’t going to find out about this in the mainstream symptom-based industry. There’s no obligation or cost to attend. The class is held monthly. Give us a call or email us and we'll get you on the list.
