No way.
I'm sure you sense the sarcasm but seriously, the victim mentality is getting old. Not poor you.
Yay you that you have a choice.
The first choice is to prevent it and the second choice is to cure it.
Emotionally, the breasts represent nourishment & nurturing, sensuality, sexuality, respect and acceptance. It's a wonder that so many people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. How many people are undernourished either physically (not eating or absorbing what their bodies need), mentally (intellectual conversation deficit...or worse, draining conversations that deplete any nourishment you did have), emotionally (loving enough & feeling loved, quality, positive friendships, romantic gestures, things you do for yourself without guilt), spiritually (whatever that is that makes you come alive).
Look at your breasts. Are they providing and being provided for (literally & figuratively)? Seriously, we're talking some good ole' lovin' here!
The title of this blog is "My Elastic Breasts" and for good reason. Just before the new year, I totally quit wearing a bra. It's sweater season so no one can really tell anyway. I am about a B size and it was really strange at first. People kind of stared at me weird when they noticed and I felt weird because I knew. Occasionally I wore a camisole that would hold them in place but NO WIRES ever. One day, about two weeks into January I hopped on my mini trampoline and about 10 minutes into my workout, discovered that I wasn't wearing any support. Three weeks before, my breasts would have really hurt going up and down like that but they felt elastic! Then I noticed that my stretch marks were going away too....
Wait a minute...does this mean that the tissue in my breasts got stronger and that it was able to totally support my breasts during exercise annnnnd the whole day? YES! That's exactly what it means. I didn't even know they had the potential to get "stronger"...um, awesome?! AND they are never sore, ever!
So all is well and great with my breasts, but what about yours?
Tricks (to help) prevent breast cancer:
*STOP WEARING WIRE BRAS (or stop wearing bras altogether...depending on your size). Wire bras cut off circulation to the lymphatic system and cause a major backup. The lymph system is your bodies main garbage disposal and the only system in the body that does not pump itself (which is why exercise is SOOOO critically important) If you wear a wire bra, it clogs everything up, stuffing toxins deeper and deeper into your tissues thereby, creating dis-ease...disease....cancer.Just google "organic bras" online and you'll find plenty to purchase or adopt wearing camis
* Go topless. In the sunshine (or figure out a way to be in the sunshine) bare breasted. There are statements all over the place right now stating that Vitamin D can eliminate breast cancer completely. It's been evident for a long time, but it can be found almost anywhere now.
*Exercise. (Jump rope, dance, yoga, run...whatever...just move)
*Kick refined sugar (refined & hydrogenated everything from your diet)
*Love on your breasts. Grab some Vitamin E oil and rub it on your breasts. It will help to reduce the stretch marks and give them that nurturing attention they so often lack. Change the thought from "You're too big/too small/too uneven/too ugly" to "I love you and you're perfect, thank you for serving me so well!"
If you have a partner, try creating a sensual routine where you admire and love your breasts together. This doesn't have to be a sexual thing, but beyond that. It can be something that you do privately and that works to nurture your femininity in a healthy, supportive way.
*(NEW) Deodorant=No. We've talked about this before, but get seriously picky about the deodorant you wear and on weekends or when it's cold out, go without. I just learned (and I will find the resource again) that the crystal deodorants that claim to be natural contain aluminum...DON'T USE THEM AT ANY COST. Remember to steer very clear of ANYTHING with aluminum and the other ingredients on my "deodorant blog list".
*All these things can also help work towards a cure. If you have breast cancer, consider seeking professional help for a detoxification of parasites & heavy metals from your system. Get your lymph functioning properly with exercise & energy work. Drink A TON of fresh veggie juice (no sugars including carrots, beets, etc.) The most important thing is to keep a kick butt, can-do attitude!
One of my great teachers always says, "You can't cure a poor lifestyle."
Love. love. LoVe. LOVe.
I love love love this post!! I do not wear a bra when I can get away with it...I do wear camis with support a lot but I just do not feel comfortable without a bra most times when I am out of the house and definitately not when I am exercising!! Mine are a little large to be left un-wrangled and I really don't know if going without is a good idea:) I may end up with black eyes..jk anyway I am going to check out the website and see what they have to offer because I do feel freer when I can go without!! Also I do skin brushing with a natural bristled brush a couple times a week...that is supposed to help with stimulating the lymph sooooo maybe that will deter the nasties at least a little bit:) Thanks for the awesome post Miss Terra Rose:)
ReplyDeletei never liked bras.... lol i wonder what my students will think if i came to school without a bra one day. hmm.
ReplyDeleteThe Myth of Bras and Breast Cancer
ReplyDeleteBy TARA PARKER-POPE
If you’ve spent time on the Internet, chances are you’ve seen chatter about the association between wearing a bra and breast cancer.
As C. Claiborne Ray explains in Monday’s Science Times, the claim has no basis in fact and stems from a flawed study that was never published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Live Your Truth: Your students might not even notice...haha. That's the best thing about kids (if they are kids.) Humm..let me know if you try it out!
ReplyDeleteShawnarae: THANK YOU for bringing up the dry brushing (again for me). I'll include it in one of my main posts soon. That's such a great detox tool and you are such a rock star!!
Anonymous: Thank you for posting this article! The thing is, is that it is much deeper than looking around for articles on the internet. Who funds the American Cancer Society? Who is getting paid to put out these statements? Are they true? What does common sense say? Why, if we are pumping millions/billions of dollars into the cancer industry don't we have common cures other than chemo & radiation? Why is a raw diet and exercise so quickly and effectively curing so many types of breast cancer? What is actually working?
I really appreciate these articles!
At the end of the day though, what makes sense? How do you feel? And truly, who's who out there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your awesome comments.
Love love love love.
