The Link Between Bras And ****** Cancer
If you didn’t burn yours in the ‘Sixties, you might want to put it away now. “Bras cause ****** cancer. It’s open and shut,” says medical researcher Syd Singer.
The Singers became ****** cancer sleuths in 1991. On the day Soma discovered a lump in her breast, the husband-wife team was studying the effects of Western medicine on Fijians. In the shower, Syd noticed that Soma’s shoulders and ******* were outlined by dark red grooves. He remembered a puzzled Fijian woman asking his wife about her brassiere: “Doesn’t it feel tight?”
“You get used to it,” Soma had replied.
Could bras be constricting ****** tissue, Syd wondered, hampering lymph drainage and causing degeneration?
Soma decided to stop wearing hers. But when Syd searched the medical literature he found no known causes of ****** cancer, which rarely appears before a woman’s mid- thirties, most often after 40. The highest death rates from ****** cancer are in North America and northern Europe, with the developing world catching up fast.
The World Health Organization calls chemical toxins the primary cause of cancer. But poisons accumulating in ****** tissue are normally flushed by clear lymph fluid into large clusters of lymph nodes nestling in the armpits and upper chest. The Singers found that “because lymphatic vessels are very thin, they are extremely sensitive to pressure and are easily compressed.” Chronic minimal pressure on the ******* can cause lymph valves and vessels to close.
“Less oxygen and fewer nutrients are delivered to the cells, while waste products are not flushed away,” the Singers noted. After 15 or 20 years of bra-constricted lymph drainage, cancer can result.
Looking at other cultures, Soma and Syd were struck by the low incidence of ****** cancer in poorer nations awash in pesticides dumped by northern nations. They didn’t find peasant women wearing push-up bras. Instead, they discovered that the Maoris of New Zealand integrated into white culture have the same rate of ****** cancer, while Australia’s marginalized aboriginals have virtually no ****** cancer. The same trend held for “Westernized” Japanese, Fijians and other bra-converted cultures.
In Dressed To Kill: The Link Between ****** Cancer and Bras, the researchers also observed that just before a woman begins her period, estrogen floods her system, causing her ******* to swell. If she continues wearing the same bra size, life-saving lymphatics will be even more tightly squished. Had they found the “estrogen link” to ****** cancer?
Childless women never fully develop their breast-cleansing lymphatic system. Nor do women who have never breast-fed. Working women who wear bras everyday and postpone having children could be at higher risk, the Singers warn.
Even worse, a young woman’s coming of age is often “marked” by her first bra. Like the ancient Chinese practice of foot-binding, “breast-binding” at puberty can eventually lead to severe medical complications.
Could bras be the “missing link” in a growing epidemic of ****** cancer? Beginning in May, 1991, Soma and Syd Singer’s 30-month Bra and ****** Cancer study interviewed some 4,000 women in five major U.S. cities. All were Caucasian of mostly “medium income” ranging in age from 30 to 79. Half had been diagnosed with ****** cancer.
Almost all of the women interviewed were unhappy with the size or shape of their *******. Women who chose a bra for appearance, ignoring soreness and swelling, had twice the rate of ****** cancer of those who did not.
But the most startling statistic was how many women who wore their daytime bras to sleep contracted ****** cancer. So did one out seven women strapped into a bra more than 12 hours a day. Bra-free women have just a one in 168 chance of being diagnosed with ****** cancer, says Singer. The same as bra-free men.
“Don’t sleep in your bra!” Syd Singer pleads. “Women who want to avoid ****** cancer should wear a bra for the shortest period of time possible – certainly for less than 12 hours daily.”
Syd also submits that some 80% of bra-wearers who experience lumps, cysts and tenderness will see those symptoms vanish, “within a month of getting rid of the bra.”
Not everyone is ready to hang up her halter. As one woman told the team, “My **** will sag all the way to my navel without a bra.” But Surgeon Christine Haycock at the New Jersey College of Medicine says that inherited traits – not ligaments or ****** size – are the reason some ******* give in to gravity. Bouncing bosoms help clear the lymphatics.
Well aware that their findings were “explosive,” the Singers sent their survey results to the heads of America’s most prestigious cancer organizations and institutes. None responded. Like the cancer business, the bra business is huge. Multiply how many worldwide women buy several $25 bras every year and you end up with a multiple of the $6 billion-a-year U.S. bra business.
Syd Singer says that establishment censorship of the bra-breast cancer connection is killing women. Pointing to the biggest commonality among ****** cancer patients, he’s emphatic that it’s bra-squeezed lymphatics.
Going bra-less for all occasions, Soma began dressing to de-emphasize her *******. She also began regular ****** massage and bicycle riding, vitamin and herbal supplementation, and drinking only purified water.
Two months later, her lump disappeared.
At the first frightening sign of a lump, an angry Syd Singer says, “women should take their bras off before they take their ******* off.” Why wait, when you can liberate your lymphatics now?
IF YOU MUST WEAR A BRA
Push-up and sports bras are out. Choose loose-fitting cotton bras. Make sure you can slip two fingers under the shoulder-straps and side- panels. The higher the side-panels, the more severe the restriction of major lymph nodes. Don’t wear this disastrous device to sleep. Take it off at home. Massage your ******* every time you remove your bra. Sing your lymphatics into health – or at least breathe deeply.
REMEMBER: A spectacularly bad combination is wearing a bra and using a cell phone. Never never carry a cell phone in a bra, bikini top or bottom. [Alt Health by William Thomas]
