Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. An estimated 500 Canadians are diagnosed daily and 200 Canadians pass away each day due to cancer. The most common types of cancer include lung, prostate, breast and colorectal which account for about 50% of new cancer diagnoses.

What is Cancer?Cancer is a disease that occurs when normal cells “malfunction” and begin growing uncontrollably. These cells form lumps or tumors in one area of the body but can also spread through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Benign tumors stay in one area of the body and are usually not life threatening. Malignant tumor cells can invade nearby tissues and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Early detection of malignant tumors can help prevent cancer-related death.

Avoid Known CarcinogensUV radiation from sunlight can cause skin cancer and its incidence rate continues to rise in Canada. Make sure you protect yourself by wearing protective clothing and using sunscreen. Wear a wide brimmed hat to protect your head and face and make sure to apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.

Over 25% of all cancer-related deaths are linked to lung cancer. It is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer. Smoking tobacco can damage your lungs and increases your risk of lung cancer. If you smoke, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about options to help you quit smoking and reduce your risk of lung cancer.

Know Your Body and Get CheckedThe key to cancer prevention is early detection. Know your body and be

aware of any changes. If you notice any unusual lumps, especially in your breasts or testicles, let your doctor know right away. Watch out for any changes in size, colour or shape of birthmarks and moles on your skin. Most women over the age of 50 should be screened for breast cancer and elderly men with urinary problems should be checked for prostate cancer. Have a discussion with your healthcare provider to see what cancer screening methods are appropriate for you.

Know Your Family HistorySome cancers have genetic factors that can be passed on from generation to generation. Inherited gene mutations in your DNA might leave you more susceptible to certain types of cancers. If you have a family history of cancer, mention them to your doctor.

Not all forms of cancer can be prevented but by being cancer aware and following these tips you can reduce your risk and live a healthy, cancer-free life!

Uterine fibroids, heavy periods, acne, breast lumps are all conditions associated with too much estrogen in the body. We are being bombarded by man-made estrogens in our environment that are increasing our risk of estrogen related cancers. And we are under so much stress we are making far too much estrogen. Back in 1960 one in 20 women developed breast cancer — today it is 1 in 8. Although we are raising a lot of money for breast cancer awareness and treatment, few women know what they can do to reduce their risk of breast cancer. My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer and reversing the rates of breast cancer is my goal. Scientifically-backed plant nutrients found in Estrosmart can help balance hormone levels while halting abnormal cell growth. Estrosmart quickly balances hormones thereby making periods effortless, slowing the growth of uterine fibroids, halting ovarian cysts and reversing abnormal PAPs while controlling hormonal acne, but where it really shines is at helping to protect your breasts from abnormal cell growth and dangerous estrogens. I-3-C, Sulforaphane, DIM and D-glucarate are a few of the nutrients in Estrosmart that have been shown to keep your estrogen from converting into cancer-causing estrogens. The reason the Cancer Society tells you to eat broccoli is because it contains these powerful breast-cancer preventing agents – but you would have to eat 10 cups of broccoli per day to get the same amount of breast-protecting nutrients found in Estrosmart. By naturally detoxifying dangerous estrogens Estrosmart balances hormones keeping estrogen to progesterone ratios normal. Abnormal cell growth occurs when estrogen levels get too high. And when estrogen gets too high it then converts to cancer-causing estrogens called 16-hydroxyestrone. Estrosmart

stops the conversion of our good estrogens to bad thereby protecting us. Start today and de-stress your life. Practice deep-breathing exercises, sleep at least 7 hours at night. Eat plenty of dark colored vegetables. Purchase natural cosmetics to reduce your load of toxic environmental estrogens. Do not eat soy foods as recent research found that one 8 oz glass of soy milk can increase estradiol, a strong estrogen, by 380 percent. Take two capsules of Estrosmart every day to protect yourself and keep your hormones balanced.

Did you know that Collagen is the glue that ensures that your bones, teeth, fingernails and hair are strong? Collagen also makes your skin smooth and wrinkle-free. Collagen levels can decline over time and in women in the first few years after menopause collagen can decline by over 30% rapidly. With a decline in collagen, our skin sags and wrinkles dramatically. Youthful skin is abundant in collagen. Without enough collagen our hair and nails become weak And the loss of collagen is a major cause of osteoporosis. No amount of calcium will build strong bones when you are deficient in collagen. Collagen Plus reduces wrinkles and improves the moisture content in the skin; hair stops breaking, thickens and grows faster—all in just 60 days. One in four women has osteoporosis even though we are taking calcium supplements in record numbers. Smart women use Collagen Plus as part of their healthy bone program. Receding gums are an early indicator of osteoporosis and dentists report that Collagen

Plus stops receding gums. Collagen Plus combined with Bone Booster containing vitamin K2 and vitamin D3, will dramatically improve bones. But you will love that Collagen Plus ensures beautiful hair, skin and nails as well as strong bones.
