Keeping Abreast: Ways to Stop Breast Cancer Khalid Mahmud

In 1970, one out of ten American women developed breast cancer. Now it is one out of eight - and soon it will be one out of seven. It is a disease women dread. Yet physicians, who tell patients how to avoid heart attacks, have nothing to say about the prevention of breast cancer. By the time a cancer cell in the breast grows into a diagnosable breast cancer, usually 15 to 20 years have elapsed. During this long journey, the cancer is inhibited by many factors and stimulated by others. It is possible to enhance the inhibitors and diminish the stimulators to snuff out the tiny cancer, or at least, to delay its clinical appearance. This book provides the reader clear strategies to reduce the risk of breast cancer - strategies that are based not only on my experience as an oncologist, but also on an extensive review of scientific literature. These strategies consist of simple and natural measures: things to take and things to do, with little or no use of pharmaceuticals. My dream is to share this information with all women and their doctors with the hope that we can cut down the occurrence of this horrible disease.
