Details:
Best-selling author Dr. John
Lee has led the way in using natural
progesterone therapy for lifelong health for pre- and
post-menopausal women. Now he joins forces with breast cancer
researcher Dr. David Zava to create a breakthrough hormone
balance program that could help save your life.
Conventional
treatment protocols are simply not working and worse they
may even be harmful. But women do have prevention and treatment
choices their doctors may not be telling them about. John
R. Lee, M.D., and David Zava, Ph.D., explain options and
offer potentially lifesaving strategies to lower risk and
help stop this devastating disease.

Excerpt from the book;
Why We Can't Seem to Prevent or Cure
Breast Cancer
Why is modern medicine going nowhere in its
attempts to treat breast cancer? Our research has found that
the answer to this question lies primarily with the politics
of medicine, the cancer industry, and the industries that
create the pollutants that contribute to breast cancer. We
believe that the only way to truly prevent and treat breast
cancer is to go outside the current way of doing things in
medicine and stop the wholesale pollution of our planet with
petrochemicals, but the forces that would keep things the
same are very powerful and entrenched. That's why, just as
they did with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), women need
to educate themselves about pollutants, about breast cancer,
and about alternative treatments. They need to rebel against
ineffective and harmful treatments, and do what they can
to teach their doctors.
Over the past few decades, conventional medicine
has done very little to make any meaningful difference in
what will happen to you if you get breast cancer, and virtually
nothing it has done has reduced the incidence of the disease.
The harsh reality is, if you get breast cancer, you'll get
more treatment than you did 50 years ago, you and your insurance
company will spend a lot more money, and if it's fatal you
may gain a few more months of life (usually of very poor
quality), but statistics clearly tell us that conventional
medicines for treating breast cancer such as tamoxifen, radiation,
and chemotherapy just aren't working in the long run. The
way breast cancer is currently treated is a way of doing
something in the face of not knowing what else to do. If
you have an invasive or nonlocal breast cancer, your chances
of dying from it are still about one in three, the same as
they have been for decades.
The incidence of breast cancer (how many women
are getting it) is steadily rising, and the numbers are appalling:
According to the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer
incidence rates have increased by more than 40 percent from
1973 to 1998. In the year 2000 approximately 182,800 women
were diagnosed with breast cancer. Since 1950 breast cancer
incidence has risen by 60 percent. Some will argue that this
is due to better and earlier detection. But even for women
over 80 years of age, where this early detection issue is
doubtful, the incidence of breast cancer has risen the past
30 years from 1 in 30 women to 1 in 8 women. The American
Cancer Society estimated that in the year 2000, 552,200 people
in the United States would die of cancer, and 40,800, or
just over 7 percent, of those would be women dying of breast
cancer. This means that about 15 percent of women who die
of cancer are dying of breast cancer. These are the annual
statistics for the United States, but it's even more sobering
to realize that worldwide about 1,670,000 women have breast
cancer.
