Jan 7th Busting Breast Cancer Briefings for North Shore Women
“Breast Cancer has now become an unnecessary disease”, according to Susan Wadia-Ells, founding director of the National Breast Cancer Prevention Project.
On Saturday January 7th, at 1PM , Wadia-Ells of Manchester, MA, will discuss research on why: higher levels of Vitamin D3; avoiding contraceptive drugs; having an annual thermogram and changing your diet, can virtually eliminate your ability to develop breast cancer tumors.
Saturday’s briefing will take place at the Sunbanque Tanning Salon in the Commodore Shopping Plaza, next to the Super Stop & Shop on Enon Street/Rt 1A, in North Beverly.
So much of what we teach women, regarding how to stop breast cancer before it starts, goes against everything Americans have been told by commercial sunblock advertising and by pharmaceutical companies, said Wadia-Ells. For example, women are shocked to find that using safe year-round tanning and stopping contraceptive drugs, no matter what your age, will help reduce your risk of developing breast cancer.
Know Breast Cancer’s website and Wadia-Ells’ forthcoming book explain that the most significant way to help stop breast cancer from happening, is to raise your vitamin D3 blood level. This is best done by allowing the sun to slowly and safely tan your skin, all year round. In Massachusetts this means that every woman, with a skin type that can tan, needs to spend time in the summer sun, without any sun block, for short periods of time as UVB rays activate enough melanin to create a natural protective tan. Using short but regular amounts of indoor tanning time from September through May enables the body to continue making vitamin D3 year-round. Taking Vitamin D3 supplements is a slower but effective way to help raise and maintain optimal D3 blood levels of 60 ng/ml-80 ng/ml .
“Everything we will share with women at Saturday’s briefing is backed up by objective, professional and long standing research,” said Wadia-Ells. Participants at Saturday’s free briefing will also receive copies of recent studies linking year-round tanning with lower breast cancer rates, how to begin to enjoy a cancer-blocking daily diet, and why using contraceptive drugs can increase your risk of developing breast cancer, especially if you are over 40 years old. A list of thermography services north of Boston, will also be available.
“Holding this information session at Sunbanque, will help women understand that Know Breast Cancer is serious about encouraging women to learn how to develop and benefit from safe year-round tanning and how to choose non-toxic sun block products,” said Wadia-Ells.
Wadia-Ells will also lead briefings in Gloucester at 11AM and in North Andover at 3PM on January 7th.
