In my column Options for Life in the Natural Healing Natural Wellness Newsletter, I look to inspire cancer patients and provide hope to cancer survivors and their loved ones.  In the summer issue I shared my thoughts on a favorite topic of mine: Estrogen.  Many doctors seem to believe that estrogen is the enemy. While xenoestrogens must be avoided, the natural estrogen we produce is not to be feared, just managed. Further, we need estrogen for aiding in the prevention of heart disease and for strong, healthy bones–estrogen is essential to the health of all parts of your body, from your eyes to your heart to your brain to everywhere else. We can we live with our estrogen, we need it; it is just so terribly misunderstood.

 Estrogen is thought to be the driving force behind many breast cancers; however, estrogen is only one part of the cancer story. To protect ourselves against cancer, we must control the estrogen, cut off the pathways for cancer, detoxify the body, reduce inflammation, and protect our DNA and so much more. What magic bullet can do all that?  Food.
