all alternative medicine has taught us about breast cancer, I highly ellcourage
you to begin a nutritional program which includes nutritional supplementation
and appropriate detoxification as well as a regular exercise and stress reduction
program especially understanding the protective benefits of tofu and flax
seed oil and other phyto estrogens in the protection against breast cancer.
For the best medicine is that which prevents disease from occurring."The
cure of many diseases is unknown to physicians. They are ignorant of the whole
which ought to be studied also. For the part can never be well unless the
whole is well. This is the great error of our day in the treatment of the
human body that the physician separates the soul from the body." Plato"The
art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore, tile
physician must start from nature, with an open mind." Paracelsus"Nature,
time and patience are the three great physicians." Proverbs, The Bible
