INFO ON BREAST CANCER
A friend who has received chemotherapy and is now receiving radiation at Princess Margaret Hospital for breast cancer revealed what they have now found out as causes of breast cancer. The person with the cancer has been told by the hospital to only use Deodorant rather than an anti-perspirant. The reasons are outlined in the letter below.

Sometime ago in a Breast-Cancer-Awareness seminar. During the Questions and Answers period, it was asked why the most common area for breast cancer was near the arm pit. The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirants.

A concentration of toxins leads to cell mutations, a.k.a.CANCER. 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 from the body - behind the knees, behind the ears, the 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. Sprays are the exception to this rule.

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.

Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives. Re-think your daily use of a product that could ultimately lead to a terminal illness.
