Do what you can to educate yourself and the ones you love and join Natural Solutions in the fight against breast cancer. The following articles are a great place to start - they are full of information that may help you or a loved one.
	Defeating Breast Cancer
	Breast cancer is a killer that doesn't care about race, religious beliefs, or socio-economic status. Christine Horner, MD, a nationally recognized surgeon and the author of Waking the Warrior Goddess, says that once a woman reaches her mid-20s she catches cancer's attention. Dr. Horner went on to write that "breast cancer prefers a slower, easier target, so it particularly likes older women...And the more meat on their bones-actually, the more extra fat-the better." The good news here is that exercise of all types reduces your cancer risk - so you are not powerless in this equation.
	Breast Cancer Protection
	So did we finally get the upper hand against breast cancer? It's true that fewer women are dying from metastatic forms of this disease. But even though survival rates are increasing, so are the number of new cases, and they're striking younger and younger populations. While we may be making some progress in slowing and stopping the most aggressive breast cancers, we're having trouble keeping up with the prevention side of the spectrum. Nevertheless, we're not powerless: Research continues to offer guidance on how we can prevent and help treat this all all-too-common disease. Regardless of your age, lifestyle, or even your health status, it's never too late to take action against breast cancer.
	Your Breast Defense
	According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Chances are this statistic will become even more sobering when you or someone you know faces a diagnosis or, worse, treatment for the disease. The good news? Thanks to much cutting-edge research in the last decade, more women are surviving and-even better-avoiding breast cancer altogether. Here, the newest studies that give clues on how to best protect yourself against this prevalent disease.
