- there is some concern that wearing a bra can contribute to breast cancer.
Home remedies
- Watercress reduces the presence of breast cancer tumors and prevents new blood vessels to turn into tumors.
- Ginger and its constituents have been studied to inhibit Breast Cancer.
- papaya leaf tea is an effective remedy for cancer. A study at the University of Florida found that papaya slowed the growth of a wide variety of tumors, including those of the breast, lung, pancreas, cervix, and liver.
- Lycopene in Guava inhibits the growth of Breast Cancer cells
- Turmeric prevents Breast Cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice.
- consuming mushrooms regularly has been associated with decreased risk of Breast Cancer in both pre- and postmenopausal women.
- Spinach protects the eyes, good for brain function, guards against Colon Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer, protects against Heart Disease, stroke and dementia, it lowers blood pressure, it's anti-inflammatory and it's great for bone health.
- Turkey Tail Mushroom offer a long list of medicinal properties and health benefits, but they are most prized as a natural source of the anti-cancer polysaccharide PSK. Turkey Tail Mushroom are Proven to Fight Breast Cancer
- Lycopene in Tangerine Tomatoes is particularly effective in fighting breast and Prostate Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Cervical Cancer, and Colon Cancer.
- Red Cabbage : A study on red cabbage shows that its glucosinolate compound can prevent a variety of cancers including Prostate Cancer, Colon Cancer, Breast Cancer and Bladder Cancer. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, folate, manganese, dietary fiber and magnesium – all of which are strong cancer-fighting nutrients.
- beet juice is an astonishingly effective treatment for leukemia and other cancers : betanin pigments can impede tumor cell growth in tissues throughout the body, including the colon, stomach, nerves, lungs, breast, prostate, testicles.
- Vitamin D : Scientists found that getting vitamin D from both supplementation and the sun is the most effective way to prevent and treat breast cancers. Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that affects all the cells of your body. This powerful vitamin is converted into calcitriol, which stimulates your immune system to fight cancer. Researchers at the State University of New York at Albany reported that breast cancer cells died within several days after being injected with high doses of vitamin D.
- apigenin, which is most prevalent in parsley and celery, but is also in apples, oranges, nuts and other plant products, blocks new blood vessel formation. So it slows and sometimes totally stops the development of tumors. Moreover, the natural compound reduces the overall number of tumors even though it didn't stop the initial formation of breast cancer cells.
- Withaferin A which comes from the roots of Withania somnifera, also known as Ashwagandha, Indian ginseng, Winter cherry, Ajagandha and Kanaje Hindi may halt breast cancer metastasis.
- homeopathy : Phytolacca is better known as pokeweed root, which grows as a towering weed in the US and elsewhere. Conium maculatum is poison hemlock, while Thuja occidentalis comes from the Eastern Arborvitae tree.(http://www.cancerdecisions.com/content/view/414/72).
- Oatmeal, like many whole grains, contains plant lignans, which are converted by intestinal flora into mammalian lignans. One lignan, called enterolactone, is thought to protect against breast and other hormone-dependent cancers as well as heart disease.
- Modified Citrus Pectin : Several animal studies found that MCP helped reduce the spread of prostate, breast, and skin cancer.
- Sanghuang mushroom not only plays a role in apoptosis. What makes it so promising as a cancer treatment is that it also inhibits the naturally invasive behavior of cancer cells. And it inhibits angiogenesis – the formation of new blood vessels that “feed” cancer cell growth.
- diets high in Omega-3, like fish oils, have a suppressive effect on Breast Cancer cells.
- walnuts contains breast cancer preventive phytochemicals.
- resveratrol in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells.
- Soy may lower the risk for breast and Prostate Cancer. However One caution: Some women with breast cancer should avoid soy – talk with your doctor.

- Mint, specifically peppermint, contains a phytonutrient known as amonoterpene which has shown the capability to thwart the growth of tumors in the liver, breasts and pancreas in animals.
- Green Tea prevents cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, including cancers of the stomach, small intestine, pancreas, and colon; lung cancer, estrogen-related cancers, including most breast cancers and prostate cancer.
- Human studies support fish oil having anti-inflammatory and possibly other properties that could reduce breast cancer risk.
- Essiac Tea
- Folate has been shown to reduce the risk of developing colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers and to help stop uncontrolled cell growth, one of the primary characteristics of all cancers.
- Drinking Coffee May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk.
- peach and plum extracts : two specific phenolic acid components -- chlorogenic and neochlorogenic -- were responsible for killing the cancer cells while not affecting the normal cells.
- Budwig Diet
- pomegranate helps in fighting breast, prostate and lung cancer.
- Broccoli : Sulforaphane has been studied previously for its effects on cancer, but new studies shows that its benefit is in inhibiting the breast cancer stem cells.
- plum extract kills even the most aggressive form of breast cancer cells without harming the normal cells.
- Galvanotherapy is a treatment to “zap” breastcancer cells without side effects and without harming normal cells.
- Bitter Melon destroys breast cancer cells.
- Grape seed extracts may prevent the growth of breast, stomach, colon, prostate, and lung cancer cells in test tubes.
- Tomatoes have positive effects on the prevention of breast cancer.
- get at least eight hours of sleep a night, preferably with four of those before midnight
- Eat a diet high in raw vegetables and fruits.
- Exercise; to move lymph fluid (where two thirds of the immune strength is found) and to increase oxygen levels in the body. Cancer cannot grow in high oxygen.
- Last but not least, is to live a life of reflection and meditation. Stilling yourself enough to be able to listen to the truth that is being spoken into the heart.
- MSM has been shown in a recent study to inhibit Breast Cancer growth
