Here's a forwarded message I found interesting:
Why breast cancer is usually found near the armpit?
Some time ago, I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar and I asked why the
most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit.
My question could not be answered at that time..
This e-mail was just sent to me, and I find it interesting that my question has
been answered.
I challenge you all to rethink your every day use of a product that could
ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of today, I will change my use. A
friend forwarded this to me.
I showed it to another friend going through chemotherapy & she said she learned
this fact
in a support group recently.
The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant.
What ???
Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT.
Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so
go home and check Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not ! Here's why :- The
human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees,
behind the ears, groin area, and armpits.
The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant, as the name
clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body
from purging toxins from below the armpits. These toxins do not just magically
disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms
since it cannot sweat them out.
Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the
breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located.
Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast
cancer prompted by anti- perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant
product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin.
Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further
because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the
chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area.
PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about.
Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common.
This awareness may save lives.
