Breast Cancer - How Stress & Inescapable Shock Causes Cancer
And when there is too much sugar in cells of the body, the body becomes acidic.
But how does emotional stress cause cancer in the body? And why does emotional stress only cause cancer in some people, while not in others? For the majority of people, coping with stress and highly stressful or traumatic events or conflicts is dealt with, with relative ease. Although those in this larger group feel the devastating effects of stress, stressful events, trauma, and conflicts, including grief and loss � stressful events are seen as part of life's challenges, life's ups and downs, and they are for they most part anticipated and not completely unexpected. Adrenaline is responsible for transporting sugar away from cells. When faced with a major trauma, the cancer personality feels trapped and unable to escape from the memory of the traumatic experience and the painful feelings of the experience. Adrenaline levels also skyrocket initially, but are then drained and depleted over time.
And because their mind cannot fathom what has happened, and remains in a state of disbelief or denial, these inner painful feelings are continually perpetuated, shooting up stress hormone levels, lowering melatonin and adrenaline levels, causing a slow breakdown of the emotional reflex centre in the brain, and creating the beginning of cancer progression in the body. These people are able to move on with their lives quickly afterwards. Cancer cells also thrive on sugar to keep them alive. This is especially bad news for the cancer personality. They have difficulty in expressing their inner grief, their inner pain, their inner anger or resentment, and genuinely feel there is no way out of the pain they are feeling inside.
Cancer cells thrive in a low oxygen state, as demonstrated by Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg. High stress levels generally means a person cannot sleep well, and cannot produce enough Melatonin during deep sleep. Cancer is only a physical symptom of underlying emotional stress on the body and the body's cells. And when faced with a highly stressful or traumatic event they have not anticipated, which inevitably happens during their life, react adversely and are unable to cope. Melatonin is responsible for inhibiting cancer cell growth.
Those susceptible to cancer, are highly vulnerable to life's stresses and trauma, and feel unable to cope when life throws a curve-ball their way. This means cancer cells are now free to multiply. This means normal body cells cannot breathe properly because of low oxygen. Stress hormone cortisol levels skyrocket and remain at high levels, directly suppressing the immune system, whose job it is to destroy cancer cells that exist in every human being. They experience Inescapable Shock and remain deeply affected by the experience.
Put simply, too much internal stress causes a depletion of adrenalin, leads to too much sugar in the body, resulting in the perfect environment for. These people are perfectionists and live in fear of conflict, stress, trauma and loss and are deeply frightened of negative events "happening" to them.

Breast Cancer - Estrogen Dominance & The Imbalance Of Hormones
Even a woman with low estrogen levels can have estrogen dominance symptoms if she doesn't have any progesterone.
How do we become estrogen dominant? Our food chain is laced with toxic pesticides, herbicides and growth hormones - a sea of endocrine-disrupting chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body. A saliva test evaluation will either move a man or woman to take action to bring balance to their own hormones or cause them to sit back and reflect on their good hormone health. D. The theory of Estrogen Dominance describes a condition where a woman can have deficient, normal or excessive estrogen but has little or no progesterone to balance its effects in the body. Then there is estrogen found in ERT, HRT and Birth Control Pills.
Out of balance hormones can affect women from 14 to 94. Those over 50 can take an annual saliva test to keep track of their hormone levels. An imbalance of hormones in our bodies results in hormone-related health problems such as PMS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, infertility, post-partum depression, weight gain, increased blood clotting, thyroid dysfunction, even breast and uterine cancer in women and in men breast cancer, prostate problems and prostate cancer. Estrogen dominance also occurs in men.
Men and women who experience hormone imbalance feel unwell - bringing balance to their hormones is often a key to their wellness. Estrogen Dominance can be detected by taking a saliva test. If we are overweight, our body's store of excess fat can be converted into estrogen. We often find men of fifty having higher saliva estrogen levels than women of fifty! A sign of estrogen dominance in men is the tendency for some to develop breasts. Women and men must become more informed about their own hormone health.
Lee, M. Estrogen Dominance is a term coined by the late John R. Insulin resistance also leads to estrogen dominance. Basically estrogen dominance reflects hormones that have gone out of balance. There are safe natural alternatives available to drug therapies.
As men age, estrogen gradually rises, while saliva levels of progesterone and testosterone gradually fall. Men can also take this simple at-home test to determine if their hormones are out of balance. This simple test can accurately reveal hormone levels. , author of a number of books on the topic of women's hormones.
