This Book Presents safe and effective herbs and home remedies that can prevent breast cancer from starting, or that can be used by cancer patients to complement orthodox treatments. Designed to be a resource for both women who want to maintain breast health and those whove been diagnosed with breast cancer, Breast Cancer? Breast Health! The Wise Woman Way draws on womens wisdom, or the inner knowledge often ignored by modern medicine, as a powerful tool for healing. Author Susun Weed proposes an anticancer lifestyle, and, if cancer does enter the picture, a six-step plan for healing (sleep is at zero, or Do Nothing; surgery is number six, which she terms Break and Enter), with various complementary healing techniques included throughout.
Weed is careful to point out that supplements and herbs can hurt as much as they can help, and she lists several alternative-medicine techniques that should be avoided no matter what. The steps she does recommend--from herbal oils for breast massage to help detect lumps early to the herbs milk thistle, dandelion, and burdock for women with liver damage from tamoxifen--are explained clearly, sometimes with fascinating quotes from centuries-old books on healing.
