Key Points made by Dr. V:

It was though her own two-year journey treating her breast cancer naturally that Dr. V discovered the 7 Essentials – the specific steps to healing breast cancer naturally.
Your hormones do not cause cancer.
Xenoestrogens are ‘false estrogens’ that we get from many chemicals in our environment, like plastics, pesticides, aluminum, body products, etc.
If you do not metabolize, or break down, the estrogens within your body properly via the liver, you will be at more risk for breast cancer.
The key is to take responsibility for what you put in your environment, on your body, and in your body, and learning how to detox and support your liver in order to metabolize the estrogens and xenoestrogens properly.
The BRCA gene is a protective gene. Damage to this gene is what might cause breast cancer.
You have a large measure of control over your genes via your diet and lifestyle.
Sulforaphane, a potent nutrient in broccoli sprouts, turns on over 200 protective genes in your body, and it literally kills breast cancer cells. Curcumin is another.
Vitamin D levels at 80-100 ng/ml in the States (this equates to 200-250 nmol/L in Canada) is one of the best ways to protect yourself against breast cancer.
Research shows that Vitamin D puts breast cancer cells to sleep and kills them.
Iodine is also an important nutrient to prevent breast cancer.
Statistically, women that have sluggish thyroids and are on thyroid medications are twice as likely to develop breast cancer as those who are not.
Iodine can easily be tested at home with a 24 hour iodine loading test available through Dr. V’s website.
It takes 5-10 years for cancer to manifest as a lump or bump in the body.
The Oncoblot test is a blood test that can tell you if you have cancer at a very early stage – when it’s the size of a pinhead – and where it’s at in your body.
Breast thermography is another tool to assess if you have physiological changes within your breast tissue that may ultimately lead to breast cancer. It detects tissue changes at the earliest stages, but cannot be used to diagnose breast cancer.
If you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer the first thing to do is make informed decisions.
