How to Significantly Reduce Your Risk of Breast Cancer - Intelligent Health

by Dr. Richard Powers

Learning new, science-backed ways to help prevent breast cancer makes a lot of sense given the pain, suffering, expense, and unpredictable outcomes associated with cancer treatment.

Have you, or someone near and dear to you, experienced breast cancer and the unimaginable “journey” that ensued?
Are you concerned about your chances or risk of getting breast cancer?
If you knew better (to help prevent breast cancer) would you do better?

If you or someone you know has ever gone through breast cancer treatment or died of breast cancer you know the heartache and challenges it brings and how it impacts life and the lives of loved ones forever.

Here is what I want you to know: So much more can be done to help prevent breast cancer than you are likely aware of.

The current, outdated paradigm

The focus on breast cancer “prevention” isn’t really prevention at all. Instead, it revolves around getting a mammogram to detect breast cancer and then offering support to help pay for treatment after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis.

Although I’m all in on screening for breast cancer for early detection and assisting people to afford treatment, the research indicates we can do much better than that.

The studies clearly reveal that centering breast cancer prevention around the use of mammography:

HAS NOT SAVED LIVES. It seems counter-intuitive but several long-term studies (10 and 25 years*) show that those receiving regularly scheduled mammograms have NOT experienced a decreased incidence of dying of breast cancer. Turns out that breast x-rays (mammograms) are not an ideal imaging technology to monitor breast health. Furthermore, the mammogram group incurred harm resulting from unnecessary procedures (overtreatment) as a result of false-positive mammogram test results (over 94%).
INCLUDES NO PREVENTION. Preventing breast cancer is the best approach, yet little if any significant guidance to help PREVENT breast cancer is offered despite the fact that much has been uncovered in the research as to how to significantly reduce one’s risk.

A new, safer approach to breast cancer prevention

A roadmap for preventing breast cancer that makes the most sense amounts to taking action to prevent it in the first place and not just “early detection” after cancer has already occurred.

Combine preventive action with science-backed, painless and harmless screening tests that help reveal breast cancer in its physiological and precancerous stage and you have the formula that is both empowering and truly beneficial.

How to significantly reduce your breast cancer risk

To fulfill the need for a clear, practical, science-backed path to significantly reduce one’s breast cancer risk, I took a deep dive into the research for the past year and a half. I subsequently collected the breast-protective findings that were most consistently proven safe and beneficial, and presented them in a robust, comprehensive online course, “Breast Cancer Prevention: How to Significantly Reduce Your Breast Cancer Risk”.

I have spelled out the anti-cancer ways to eat, move, sleep, detoxify, de-stress, and supplement in this learn-at-your-own-pace, online course, available 24/7. I also clearly explain how to get a good estimate of your breast cancer risk, as well as how to most effectively (based on the research) monitor your breast health, including how frequently to do so (based on your estimated risk).

Bottom line: If being more proactive to prevent breast cancer makes sense to you and you would like to learn more about how to do so, check out my FREE Webinar on How to Significantly Reduce Your Breast Cancer Risk.
