1. Book Description (click to expand)

   • Better Breast Health - for Life!™ is an empowering, interactive self-help guide, complete with audio workshop and worksheets.

   • The 30-minute audio CD workshop guides you through a "Risk Factors" Worksheet to identify and prioritize the risk factors in your life. The 128 page book then offers details, background, and research on each risk factor, along with strategies to reduce their impact. Additional web resources are also included.

   • Thirty-five risk factors are covered, including body size and shape, chemical and pollutant exposure, radiation and EMF exposure, hormones, HRT, birth control pills, sleep, sunlight, emotional trauma, stress, bras, exercise, bodily system cleansing, medication use, organics, alkaline and acidic foods, enzymes, fiber, fats, EFAs, nutritional supplementation, and cooking methods.

   • The book culminates with an "Actions Checklist" which lists every action step in the book so that a "check" can be placed next to the action steps you intend to take on your journey to better breast health.

   • Glenna Biehler, age 37:  I had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, and felt my life was out of control. Better Breast Health - for Life! made me feel more in charge and in control of my situation. The details about food choices, personal products, and items we use in everyday life led me to make better decisions to support my health during and after my cancer treatment.

   • Laura Sanchez, age 45: We all want to live in the communities of our choosing. While we can’t always control every element of our environment or lives, this book gives me the information I need to make informed choices – to make changes within my comfort zone to lower my overall breast cancer risk. I really appreciate the workshop CD and worksheets. Now I have a prioritized list of the risk factors that are in my life and ways to exert some control!

   • Helen Taylor, age 52:  It is timely indeed to have a consolidated information source for healthy breast awareness. This group of authors has dedicated their efforts to provide a desirable format of information, and to introduce thermal imaging as a way of monitoring and ensuring that preventative measures are effective! Thank you all for advancing healthy breast awareness for women!

   • Marilyn Fleming, age 68: I appreciated all the information in Better Breast Health - for Life! It is so encouraging to be able to make life changes with this knowledge. Finding out about all the risk factors from genetics to lifestyle is so helpful. The importance of exercise was particularly motivating to me. I now bounce on a fitness ball or trampoline. I love bouncing so this is a win-win for me!

   • Helen Eisner, age 71:   Excluding radiation and medications following my breast cancer surgery was a giant step for me, but for me, natural and alternative are my only options. I take comfort in the knowledge I have gained from Better Breast Health - for Life! and the increased sense of control I have in my healing process.

4. Introduction (click to expand)

   • Do you know just how much control you have over your breast health? This question is the subject of "Better Breast Health – for Life!™". The title itself conveys two messages. The first suggests that better breast health supports life. The second suggests that better breast health is a journey… one that lasts a lifetime.

   • It is our genuine intention that as you experience this material you feel energized and empowered to take charge of more of the risk factors for which you have some control. While it may not be practical or possible to manage all of the factors in your life, reducing just one influential factor may have positive and long-lasting effects.

   • Part One explores how breast cancer develops and the methods and importance of early detection. Part Two explains the risk factors that contribute most to the disease by category: genetic, estrogenic, environmental, health & lifestyle, and dietary, and what you can do to reduce these risk factors in your life.

   • Part Three reveals a method to assess the collective effect of risk factors on your current breast health – breast thermography. Part Four includes the personal journeys of three women in breast health, and additional and on-line breast health resources and reference materials.

   • Also included with this material is a 30 minute audio CD, complete with worksheets. With these, you can attend our "Better Breast Health – for Life!™" Workshop – without leaving home!

   • We encourage you to complete the workshop and "Risk Factors Worksheet" before reviewing the book. Doing so will enable you to identify and prioritize the risk factors present in your life. Then you can focus on your highest priorities, learning how to impact them by referring to the contents of the book. Afterwards, you can use the "Actions Checklist" to record and track the action steps you have selected for yourself on your journey to better breast health - for life!
