From the Dr.'s Desk Ladies

Sometime ago, I attended a Breast-Cancer-Awareness seminar. During the Q&A period, asked why the most

common area for breast cancer was near the armpit.

My question could not be answered at that time. The

leading cause of breast cancer is the use of

anti-perspirant. What? A concentration of toxins

leads to cell mutations, a.k.a. cancer.

Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there

are an antiperspirant/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 from the body; behind

the knees, behind the ears, the 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
