Breast Health
According to the National Institutes of Health, one woman in 8, will be a victim of breast cancer in her lifetime. We know that our environment, with chemicals and pesticides, meats that are full of hormones, and dairy products that come from cows that are given growth hormone to increase milk production, are all contributors to this. But also, mammography using ionizing radiation is problematic. We are faced with the dilemma of how best to detect early breast cancer and do it as safely as possible without increasing her to risk in the process.

Natural Hormones
Hormone imbalances can cause a lot of misery and premature aging. There are many hormone creams, pills and potions on the market whose use is questionable given what we know about the effects of taking these medications that get bought and used indiscriminately. A more scientific way to deal with regulation hormones is to measure their levels in the urine with a 24-hour lab test and then design a nutritional and replacement program to bring the levels to normal. This includes all the ovarian, adrenal, thyroid and pituitary hormones. Those needing hormone replacement are given bio-identical non-drug formulations. Both male and female can be tested and treated.
