Breast Cancer Theory Involves Anti-Perspirant Usage

Today, I received a theory about breast cancer from a friend who wanted to warn me about deodorant products that may cause breast cancer. Note: This is a theory and it is not based on medical research facts in this article.

Personally, I believe this health concern could be valid.  It makes perfect sense to me so I recently switched my deodorant to include natural herbal ingredients. See what you think.

Subject: Cancer and Armpits* (Just a thought.  I don’t know anything for sure. I don’t use traditional deodorant.  No wonder I don’t have any friends.  K)

Why breast cancer is usually found near the armpit? 

Some time ago, my friend attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar and asked why the most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit.
The question could not be answered at that time.

This e-mail was then sent to my friend, who found it interesting that the question had been answered. 

Now my friend is challenging you and others to rethink your every day use of a product that could ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of today, my friend has changed their use of this product.My friend showed this information to another who is going through chemotherapy & that person was said to have learned this fact in a support group recently…

The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant. *What ???**Yes,*  *ANTI-PERSPIRANT*. 

Most of the “B-O” products out there are an anti-perspirant/deodorant combination, so go home and check. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not! 

Here’s why: – The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. 

Anti-perspirant, as the name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from below the armpits.These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out. 

Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located. Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti- perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin. 

Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area. 

PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about. Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives.

Calli Herbal Tea News

Calli Herbal Tea is one of the most fantastic herbal teas I have ever drank. Not only do the teas taste delicious, but they are also good for you.

I especially love the night time Calli tea because of its relaxing benefit.

I am a very busy executive and many of times I have a hard time falling asleep at night because I can’t seem to turn off my mind.

That’s where Calli Tea helps me. I have 1-2 cups of Night Time Calli Tea about an hour before I go to bed, while watching TV.

As I am sitting in my favorite chair, just relaxing, I can feel the waves of sleep coming on. That’s when I pack up and ‘hit the hay’ for a restfull and refreshing 7-8 hours of sleep.

If you want to sleep better without sleeping pills or medication you should try Night Time Calli Tea and you too will be surprised how well the Calli Herbal Tea works.
