Breast Cancer Drug Actually Causes Cancer
In a recent study published in the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen (sounds toxic, doesn’t it?) was shown to actually increase the risk of uterine cancer and death in women.
This is only one of many studies that show Tamoxifen to increase instances and deaths from uterine cancer, although the drug is still on the market.
It’s also interesting to note that most all prescription cancer drugs have a steep price tag, but small (if any) benefit. Some cost as much as $100,000 but only extend the patient’s life a few months (according to their own research).
Why spend hundreds of thousands on chemicals when the best and most logical alternatives cost pennies in comparison?
Can you prevent cancer?
Yes you can, and here are the best ways to do it:
- Stay active and get plenty of exercise. Strenuous exercise and activity that makes you sweat helps move toxins out of your body, helps keep your insulin levels down and makes you feel good, physically and mentally.
- Get at least 30 minutes of exposure to the sun daily, preferably earlier or later in the day. The sun provides the best source of Vitamin D, proven to reduce by 50% your risk of getting any cancer.
- Avoid processed and modified foods and concentrate on fresh, dried, preferably organic, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and natural grains.
- If you have to cook some foods, steam them instead of any other method.
- Maintain a positive outlook, release negative emotions and enjoy your life.
- Avoid environmental toxins including synthetic air fresheners, pesticides, bug sprays, household cleaners and pollution.
- Drink lots of spring or distilled water.
- Get plenty of sleep.
And that’s not just my opinion, even the American Cancer Society, most often tied to the medical establishment, has reported that upwards of 62% of all cancers can be avoided by making simple lifestyle changes.
Regain your health, save time and money and enjoy your life.
To your best health!

Great tips! What a great reminder that much of what we can do to lower our risk of breast cancer can be simple, and even free!
Just a reminder with regards to sun exposure. Most sunscreens block absorption of vitamin D. It might make sense to spend a little time outdoors before applying the sunscreen. After all, in 1935 when our grandparents sent everyone out for a healthy dose of sun, and when sunscreen was not yet available, the risk of melanoma was one in 1200. It is now one in 84. They practiced common sense and came inside or covered themselves up after that healthy dose!
One other tip. Women who sleep less than 7 hours per night are more likely to develop breast cancer. Sleeping in total darkness may also help. Blind women have a very low risk of breast cancer, whereas those who work night shifts have been shown in some studies to have an elevated risk. It is felt that melatonin manufactured by the brain in total darkness may have an anti-estrogen effect.
