According to the
Journal of the National Cancer Institute, DCIS
is "Ductal Cell Carcinoma in Situ", a condition of abnormal,
non-cancerous cells found in the milk ducts which have not spread to
nearby tissues. It is often referred to as a "pre-cancer" condition,
according to allopathic medicine.
DCIS on the rise
Because of the push for mammograms, DCIS in the United States
rose from 1.87 per 100,000 to 32.5 in 2004.
DCIS was rarely found and diagnosed before the 1980s, but with the
increased poking and prodding in the breast area that comes with a
typical mammogram procedure, the incidence of DCIS has now come to
represent 25 percent of all diagnosed breast cancers. Statistically, the
risk of dying from DCIS only within
five years is a mere 0.7 percent.
The
question surrounding DCIS is: Even though the condition itself is
technically not cancer, is it possible that all the "treatment" options
administered aggravate and increase the risk of developing actual breast
cancer? The answer is a resounding YES!
The conventional
treatments for DCIS are similar to those for breast cancer. They include
radiation, lumpectomies and the use of Tamoxifen, a common breast
cancer hormone therapy drug.
Understandably, women who have been
diagnosed with DCIS are often puzzled and confused as to why they are
being treated as if they have invasive
breast cancer. Is this simply another example of the "assembly line" mentality that modern medicine promotes?
DCIS and breast cancer: The treatments can be the cause
The following are some common conventional treatments for DCIS and their side effects:
1.) Radiation through mammogram and radiation treatment
Mammograms emit low-dose radiation and repeated exposure
increases breast cancer risk. The very "treatment" of radiation therapy itself increases your risk of developing breast cancer.
2.) Lumpectomy
A lumpectomy is a surgical procedure. It is an established fact that surgery breaches the natural barriers that encase a tumor
which enables cancer cells to escape and spread. The trauma of surgery
stimulates tumor cell growth as well and reduces natural killer cell
activity that is designed to destroy cancer cells.
3.) Tamoxifen
Tamoxifen
is classified as a carcinogen by both the World Health Organization and
the American Cancer Society. Tamoxifen doubles (and in some cases
quadruples) the
risk of endometrial cancer
within a five-year period and has also been linked to increased risk of
stomach cancer, colon cancer, blood clots, fatty liver, memory
impairment and low sex drive.
Fortunately there are some respected breast cancer specialists that have a "wait and see" attitude when it comes to DCIS.
Active surveillance may prevent unnecessary treatment and emotional distress if a person has been diagnosed with DCIS.
What to do after a DCIS diagnosis
It
is important not to give in to the fear tactics that conventional
medicine may put out there in regards to a DCIS diagnosis. Instead,
research is vital as is listening to the "messages" of the body itself.
There are many tools available that are non-invasive, safe and accurate.
Procedures such as thermography or protein and enzyme tests such as the
Oncoblot or the Cancer Profile, which measure hormone as well as enzyme
levels, are logical first steps. Making sure iodine and vitamin D
levels are optimal is important as is improving diet and lifestyle
overall in order to support the immune system and detoxification
pathways.
Supporting the body with specific herbs and supplements
that are in line with "The 7 Essentials System™" for healing the body
naturally may be the key to turning a diagnosis around. As stated
before, the chances of developing breast cancer from DCIS alone are less
than 1 percent. Time is on the side of the patient when it comes to
DCIS.
