Dr. Mercola's story at a glance:
Statin drug side effects can easily be misdiagnosed as unrelated health problems, which leads to polypharmacy and unnecessary drug treatments.
Statins are known to cause nerve- and muscle damage, and are contraindicated during pregnancy due to high risk of birth defects. They can also lead to a number of other health complications.
The true dangers of statin drugs, which suppress the synthesis of cholesterol, are becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Seneff provides a dozen sources for you to review to increase your knowledge base about this hazardous drug

BREAST CANCER Story at-a-glance excerpt of Dr. Mercola's article.
Ladies pay special attention to the last paragraph.
While increase in breast cancer screenings has resulted in soaring breast cancer diagnoses, rates of invasive breast cancer have still increased in certain populations. According to one recent study, mammography screening may "save" only 1 person for every 2,500 screened.
The rate of "false alarms" from mammogram screening is as high as 40 percent, resulting in high rates of unnecessary biopsies and other tests.
A growing body of clinical evidence indicates that the "low energy" x-rays used in breast screenings are up to 500 percent more carcinogenic than previously assumed.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is fraught with conflicts of interest, and instead of increasing awareness about the preventable causes of breast cancer, it feeds the cancer industry’s need to raise money for drug research, and to promote its primary means of “prevention”: early detection via x-ray mammography.

The primary causes of breast cancer: nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, inflammation, and estrogen dominance, are entirely overlooked as the cancer industry is primarily fixated on providing drug therapies to treat symptoms rather than preventing the cause.

Ladies, this is very important information that may save your life.
What Can You Do to Actually PREVENT Breast Cancer:
•Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D influences virtually every cell in your body and is one of nature's most potent cancer fighters. Vitamin D is actually able to enter cancer cells and trigger apoptosis (cell death). When JoEllen Welsh, a researcher with the State University of New York at Albany, injected a potent form of vitamin D into human breast cancer cells, half of them shriveled up and died within days. It was as effective as the toxic breast cancer drug Tamoxifen, without any of the detrimental side effects and at a tiny fraction of the cost.
If you have cancer, your vitamin D level should be between 70 and 100 ng/ml. Vitamin D works synergistically with every cancer treatment I'm aware of, with no adverse effects.
•Normalize your insulin levels. A primary way to accomplish that is to avoid sugar, especially fructose, as well as grains (including organic ones). Aside from causing insulin resistance, all forms of sugar also promote cancer. Fructose, however, is clearly one of the most harmful and should be avoided as much as possible.

Also make sure to exercise regularly, especially resistance training, as exercise is one of the best ways to optimize your insulin levels.
•Get plenty of natural vitamin A. There is evidence that vitamin A also plays a roll in helping prevent breast cancer. It's best to obtain it from vitamin A-rich foods, rather than a supplement. Your best sources are organic egg yolks, raw butter, raw whole milk, and beef or chicken liver.
Beware of using oral supplements as there's some evidence that vitamin A can negate the benefits of vitamin D. Since appropriate vitamin D levels are crucial for your health in general, not to mention cancer prevention, this means that it's essential to have the proper ratio of vitamin D to vitamin A in your body.
Ideally, you'll want to provide all the vitamin A and vitamin D substrate your body needs in such a way that your body can regulate both systems naturally. This is best done by eating colorful vegetables (for vitamin A) and by exposing your skin to safe amounts sunshine every day (for vitamin D).
•Avoid exposure to xenoestrogens, such as phthalates and BPA. These chemicals mimic natural estrogen, which is a breast cancer promoter.
•Avoid charring your meats. Charcoal or flame broiled meat is linked with increased breast cancer risk. acrylamide—a carcinogen created when starchy foods are baked, roasted or fried—has been found to increase breast cancer risk as well.
•Avoid unfermented soy products. Unfermented soy is high in plant estrogens, or phytoestrogens, also known as isoflavones. In some studies, soy appears to work in concert with human estrogen to increase breast cell proliferation, which increases the chances for mutations and cancerous cells.
•Maintain a healthy body weight. This will come naturally once you cut out sugar, fructose and grains, and start to exercise. It's important to lose excess body weight because fat produces estrogen.
•Drink a quart of organic green vegetable juice daily.
•Get plenty of high quality animal-based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil. Omega-3 deficiency is a common underlying factor for cancer.
•Take curcumin. This is the active ingredient in turmeric and in high concentrations can be very useful in the treatment of breast cancer. It shows immense therapeutic potential in preventing breast cancer metastasis.

Beware of Genetically-Modified "Healthy" Foods 10/04/2011

Soy, Sugar from sugar beets, Corn, Hawaiian papaya,
Cottonseed (used in vegetable cooking oils), Some varieties of zucchini
Canola (canola oil), Crookneck squash
All of theses are GMO foods unless they are label Non GMO

Beware of Genetically-Modified "Healthy" Foods Some "healthy foods" may be genetically modified (gmo) crops from Monsanto that may pose dangers to your health, says Jeffrey Smith.
