Breast Cancer

Since breast cancer does not originate in the breast itself, why is it that the most common cancer in women (and in rare cases, in men too) manifests in the breast?

Firstly, as with every organ in the body, failure to use it properly and in the way nature intended to, raises significantly the risk of various kinds of tumours, both benign and malignant. The breast is designed by nature to enable the mother to feed her baby. The more the mother nurses, the lower the risk for breast cancer in her future. Therefore, when the breast is not used for nursing at any point during fertility, the blood circulation in the breast is impeded. Combined with the lack of activation of the glands by the baby, the breast becomes stagnant and prone to inflammation. This might result  in an enlargement and calcification of the natural cysts in the breast. In this way, due to the lack of breast activation, the very special cystic-lymphatic structure of the breast, which facilitates nursing, turns into a troublesome tissue prone to growths, both benign and cancerous.

Studies have shown that aesthetic interventions and procedures in the breast and a prolonged intake of contraceptives are major risk factors for breast cancer too. Breast aesthetic surgeries create inflammation and scars in that tissue, while the contraceptives disrupt hormonal production and balance by harming liver function. Other known cancer-causing factors are also related with life-style, such as smoking (damaging the lungs which are in close proximity to the breast and the adjacent lymph nodes), and the usage of deodorants (especially those containing aluminum, other chemicals and toxins) blocking the natural important function of perspiration, capturing the toxins supposed to be cleared out by the sweat and poisoning the lymph nodes).

We have discussed above the most crucial risk factors for breast cancer, creating a compromised and weakened breast tissue. Another risk factor  is untreated chronic inflammation in that tissue. It needs to be clarified that there is never a case, in which the cancer developes somewhere in the body without a preceding reason connected to life-style. Cancer manifests at the “weakest link” but usually originates elsewhere internally, as discussed above. The same goes for breast cancer. It develops as a result of an inner metabolic disorder (mainly in the liver) combined with a compromised breast tissue

The most important conclusion from the above said distinctions is that the tumour in the breast itself is not the root problem. Therefore, the breast tumour should not become the entire focus of the treatment, if we are after an efficient and long term resolution of the problem. The common theory is that the source of the cancer is at the breast, and it sends secondary growths (metastasis) to the lymph nodes and from there to the whole body. This is why the regular treatment is basically “doing battle” with the breast tumour by a surgery to remove it (and sometimes the whole breast), zapping it with radiation, chemicals, etc. However, this view of breast cancer treatment does not address the overall problem and its root causes.

As discussed above, the onset of cancer in its initial stages starts with an internal system or organ dysfunction (particularly the liver in most cases). In the case of breast cancer, the growing internal tumour stimulates the lymphatic nodes, resulting in the cancerous growth invading the breast. According to Chinese medicine, the relation between the internal organ and the breast tumour is that of “root and fruit” – i.e., a structural process of the root nourishing the fruit. Obviously, it cannot be claimed that the fruit nourishes the root. How do we know which one is the root and which is the fruit? In Chinese medicine, the breast is considered as an external organ. If the breast is removed, the body will survive. But removing a vital internal organ like the liver will result in an immediate death, and the tumour in the breast will cease to be relevant. Therefore, it becomes clear that the root pathology is in the liver and the dysfunctional liver nourishes the breast cancer, not the other way around. In conclusion, for an efficient treatment that addresses both the root and the fruit, the medical outlook should be opposite to the common theory. Heal the root, and the fruit heals too.

According to the statistics related to breast cancer it becomes clear that the common treatment is not successful enough. A high percentage of patients do not heal and even if there is remission, it is too often temporary and does not prevent recurrence or metastasis. The reason for that is that the common treatment does not address any of the organs and systems’ dysfunctions and disruptions that resulted eventually in the development of the cancer.

As discussed above, the cancerous tumour in the breast is a result of an initial inner metabolic fault. Therefore, local procedures in the breast do not address any of those internal root-causes and do not constitute a complete and long-term solution. Furthermore, the  common treatment causes grave damage to those very organs and systems designed to produce and regulate the natural bodily cancer-fighting agents (mainly the liver, and the supporting immune, lymphatic and the blood systems) .

Therefore, an efficient and long-term breast cancer treatment must focus first and foremost on the rehabilitation of the liver and the other supporting systems. Only by properly treating the liver and the supportive systems can we reduce the levels of the inflammation, until the growth possiblly disappears with no return, or is at least redfuced to a minimal size. This is the efficient way of treatment even in cases where the patient already underwent common procedures.
