Breast lumps, cancer, diet and traditional Chinese medicine

The following is an excerpt from Hot and Cold Health by R. G. Heft (Acupuncture Physician FL 1992- 2002) based on traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines and the questioning and counseling of 10,000+ Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on the theory, observation that everything is an ongoing balance of opposites, many of which we control through diet, exercise, sex, thought, etc.

Breast cancer attacks one in eight women, generally over the age of forty. It is a cancerous tumor, firm, immovable lump that “never" goes away. It is usually pain free. The vast majority of breast lumps are not cancerous. Lumps that do not move may be caused by normal fibrocystic changes during the menstrual cycle in addition to estrogen, which promotes cellular growth in the breasts and reproductive organs. Poor diet (too cold or too hot) tends to cause breast lumps, cancer.

Cancer is a disorder of unrestrained cellular growth.  Estrogen supplements, poor diet: high protein, high fat, processed foods, smoking, early menstruation prior to age 10 and or menopause after age 55 are known factors.

Breast cancer, like most cancers, comes in the form of a tumor. All tumors are blood, protein and fat rich. Protein and fat build and fuel all structure and function, including tumors, cancer. No one has ever developed cancer from eating too many fruits, vegetables and grains. Incidences of cancer (colon and prostate) are highest in America, Argentina and all other countries that tend to eat high protein, high fat foods, especially red meat, wild game, pork, chicken, etc.

Cancer is a disorder of unrestrained cellular growth nourished and accelerated by excessive blood, protein and fat, especially hormonally treated (growth hormones) animals. Estrogen (growth hormone) supplements can also be a factor. .

Caffeine is a known breast irritant. It is an accelerant, stimulant drug, as are smoking, tobacco and alcohol. Unrestrained growth is fire out of control. Coffee, tobacco and alcohol are fire accelerants, and should be limited.

While there is "no cure for cancer", although people have cured, there is always logic. Everything builds up and breaks down. Cancer in tumor form can be starved, broken down via (colder middle diet, meal plan) low protein, low fat (vegetarian), grains, cooked vegetables, spices, fruit and herbs. Essiac Tea is one herbal combination that has been successful; however, its success is dependent on additional factors: dietary discipline, weight, etc.   Check with your doctor before making any changes. .

Most breast lumps are harmless cysts. Cysts, abnormal fluid filled sacs found commonly in the breasts come and go, and sometimes stay too long. Fluid sacs are not cancerous as they contain no protein or fat, but they can harden.

Too much water (eight glasses of water per day, salads, too many fruits, juices, smoothies, shakes, milk and cold drinks) generally causes breast lumps, cysts, as do weak digestion. Digestion heats the body, especially the lungs, chest (heat rises). Weak digestion tends to cool and moisten (cold condenses) the body, lungs (mucous, phlegm), breasts (lumps, cysts), stools (loose), thighs (cellulite), abdomen, ankles, etc. Cooked foods and spices help eliminate excess moisture, as does a decrease in cold, damp foods (salads, tropical fruits, milk, cold drinks, etc.).

Most lumps although harmless and normal should be checked, monitored via physical examination. A yellow, bloody or clear discharge from the nipple generally indicates cancer of the breast.
