And this is why we created the Healthy Breast Program for Youth , at MammAlive Foundation for Breast Health and Education.
Reach out if you are interested.

This AYA Week, we stand with young people facing cancer of any type and we recognize a troubling reality: cancer is rising in younger populations worldwide.

Breast cancer doesn’t wait for a certain age It’s time for greater awareness among both healthcare providers and the public.

Enough of people being told they’re “too young.”
Enough of symptoms being dismissed.
Enough of delayed diagnoses that change lives forever.

That’s why we created our Not Too Young photo essay, featuring 10 remarkable women diagnosed with breast cancer in their 20s and 30s. Their experiences are real. And together, they send a clear message:

They were not too young. And no one should be told they are.

Hand to Heart Being offers Far Infrared (FIR) saunas in a high quality, Canadian made basswood Saunaray from Collingwood, Ontario. The ceramic heaters allow your body to sweat at lower temperatures than a traditional sauna. Many people like to enter between 40C-50C. You may benefit from entering as early as 30C, exposing you to the whole spectrum of far infrared rays, while detoxifying the body and serving as a catalyst to healing. The temperature goes as high as 55C, where traditional saunas can go well over 80C.
FIR saunas help with:
• asthma and other chronic respiratory problems
• psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions
• fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease symptoms
• weight loss, gastrointestinal issues
• skin cleaning, lymphatic and immune system boosting
• autistic spectrum disorders
• musculoskeletal disorders, chronic pain, athletic recovery
• heart disorders
• cancers
• toxicity from heavy metals
• depression, post partum recovery

Three sessions - Only $65 until April 10th (includes all towels, shampoo/conditioner/soap/ essential oil diffusion followed by electrolyte drink or tea.) Expires May 31st to encourage regular use.

This is serious news.
Be sure to read to the end.

A study led by researchers at UC Berkeley and Clinica de Salud del Valle Salinas has demonstrated how taking even a short break from various cosmetics, shampoos, and other personal care products can lead to a substantial drop in the levels of hormone-disrupting chemicals present within the body.

The results from the study were published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. Researchers gave 100 Latina teenagers various personal care products that were labeled to be free of common chemicals including phthalates, parabens, triclosan, and oxybenzone. These chemicals are used regularly in almost all conventional personal care products such as cosmetics, soap, sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, and other hair products, and animal studies have shown that they directly interfere with the body’s endocrine system.

After just a three-day trial with the girls using only the lower-chemical products, urine samples showed a significant drop in the level of chemicals in the body. Methyl and propyl parabens, commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, dropped 44% and 45%, respectively, metabolites of diethyl phthalate, used often in perfumes, dropped by 27%, and both triclosan and benzophenone-3 fell 36%. The authors of the study were surprised to see an increase in two lesser common parabens, but, being minor, could easily have been caused by accidental contamination or a substitute not listed on the labels.

The researchers noted that cosmetics and personal care products are not well-regulated in this country, and that getting data about health effects from exposure, particularly long-term ones, is difficult. But they say there is growing evidence linking endocrine-disrupting chemicals to neurobehavioral problems, obesity and cancer cell growth.

Did you know I am a breast health educator with the MammAlive Foundation for Breast Health and Education?
A few years ago I helped to spearhead a 30 top environmental tips for breast health campaign to run during April - Earth month.
This month I will share them again daily, but if you wish to see them all at once I will share a link to them on the Mammalive website in the comments below.
I finally see a growing awareness of environmental issues which have been a problem for decades, if not a few generations now. But it can't happen fast enough. WE NEED CHANGE NOW. So please do your part to share awareness, make daily, weekly or monthly changes in your own household to help PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY.
WHAT WE DO TO OUR WORLD, WE DO TO OUR BODIES

TIP 1 FIND ALTERNATIVES TO CHEMICAL FRAGRANCES
Body care, cosmetics, cleaning products and home scent products can contain hormone disrupting phthalates, often listed in the ingredients as “fragrance”. Replace them with unscented products or 100% pure essential oils. Be aware that some products marked as “unscented” can still contain scent-masking chemicals so contact the manufacturer to inquire or visit Environmental Working Group to find companies that use natural scent.

session.
👉The experience of having your "bars run", can help you begin to release self-judgment and limiting beliefs and its effect on your brain can be likened to clearing the hard drive of your computer of excess files.
👉Consisting of light, holding touch on a series of 32 points on the head, the effect of an Access Bars session can vary from an increased sense of peace and relaxation to being less reactive to previous concerns, to even deeper, more restful sleep.
