About this listen
Breast cysts and cancer are epidemic at this time in history. The healthcare industry says that the cause of 70 percent of all breast cancer is unknown. Dressed to Kill helps solve this mystery, explaining how one of the greatest threats to breast health is something that women do to themselves every day.
This book has its roots in a personal crisis in the authors’ lives, when Soma Grismaijer was shocked to find a lump in her breast while pregnant. Looking for clues that might point to the origin of this lump led the husband-and-wife medical anthropology team to develop a new theory and to conduct an extensive survey of nearly 5,000 United States women, half of whom had breast cancer, in an attempt to uncover a hidden cause of this devastating disease.
In Dressed to Kill, authors Singer and Grismaijer, pioneers in the field of applied medical anthropology, explain their unique approach to researching and understanding the cultural causes of disease in an easy-to-listen language that is accessible to the layperson and the professional alike.
This book has already had an impact on the healthcare and fashion worlds, moving some doctors to rethink the prevention and treatment of breast disease and some clothing designers to rethink their products. Controversial for its challenge to established custom and medical dogma, this breakthrough work is a classic, and in this updated edition, it continues to suggest new ways of dealing with an old and all-too-common women’s health issue.

-
Story
Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem mans diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics, and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.

One out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization. Ty Bollinger takes this personally: in the course of a decade, he says, "I lost my entire family to cancer. I don't believe I had to lose them." The Truth about Cancer has been written for one simple reason: to share the knowledge we need to protect ourselves, treat ourselves, and in some cases save our lives or the lives of those we love.

Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body...until he decided there must be a better way.

More than 90 percent of sexually active women have only been given a very limited amount of information about how birth control works, often right at the beginning when they start their first pill or patch. Not all of us enjoy biology lessons, and figuring out the complexities of hormones, cycles, and our bodies can feel a little too much. But it doesn’t need to be rocket science. Getting a better insight into how your body really works can empower you and open up choices and possibilities so that you make the best decisions for yourself. After all, this is your body!

In this revolutionary work - a landmark that signals the true beginning of feminist medicine - a doctor, a philosopher, and a scientist prove that by postponing marriage and motherhood, women have accelerated the aging process, resulting in earlier menopause and, ultimately for thousands, earlier death. In Sex, Lies, and Menopause, they offer strong evidence that the use of synthetic hormones leads to cancer and advise women to turn to natural hormone-replacement therapy to help them elevate their estrogen level for greater energy, libido, and intellectual capacity.

Over the past 50 years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded. In this provocative book, Dr. Thomas Cowan argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we’re now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life.

In Cancer and the New Biology of Water, Thomas Cowan argues that this failure was inevitable because the oncogene theory is incorrect or at least incomplete and based on a flawed concept of biology in which DNA controls our cellular function and therefore our health. Instead, Dr. Cowan tells us the somatic mutations seen in cancer cells are the result of a cellular deterioration that has little to do with oncogenes, DNA, or even the nucleus.

Story
One out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization. Ty Bollinger takes this personally: in the course of a decade, he says, "I lost my entire family to cancer. I don't believe I had to lose them." The Truth about Cancer has been written for one simple reason: to share the knowledge we need to protect ourselves, treat ourselves, and in some cases save our lives or the lives of those we love.

Story
You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony. Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them.

Story
We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution's greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so often - 200 times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there's been some kind of mistake. As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is nothing if not a litany of mistakes, each more entertaining and enlightening than the last.

Interesting
This book was super interesting to listen to. Definitely would be a hard one to read because it is very analytical, but the narrator did a good job issue with the story not a book as a whole. It didn’t give us solution necessarily for women that have abnormally large breast, double ds and beyond.

I enjoyed this read, and it has changed my perspective, and I will tell everyone, especially the women in my life about the connection between raw youth and breast cancer. Thank you so much for the work and research you have done in this field despite all of the setbacks. Be encouraged!

Critical Life-Saving Information
Whether you read the book or listen to it while you commute to work, the information in this product is information that all women will be grateful to read or hear once they apply it to their own lives. More than a dozen International scientific studies have all supported the work put forth in this book. You have the option of allowing those who profit from your discomfort (and personal loss) to control your daily fashion choices, or you can take control and improve your breast health and comfort and place breast cancer on the bus out of town.
The narrator does an excellent job of reading the text, and she sounds as if she not only understands what she is reading but she sounds as if she is interested in what the book is telling her. Her voice is pleasant, she uses interesting voice inflection, and her performance is flawless.
Large industries do not want you to read or listen to this book, because of what your decision to remove your bra can do to their bottom line. They have fought the release of this information for twenty-five years and are, in some cases, the same people that prevented you from learning the truth about the relation between smoking and lung cancer for thirty years. Don't let them hide this simple fact from you as well.
Learn how breast cancer does not exist where women do not wear bras,,, in any country... during any period in history.
Join the many women that have learned that wearing a bra restricts your body's natural process of eliminating carcinogens from your breast tissues due to the simple pressures placed upon your breasts by wearing any bra. That allows the carcinogens to convert your breast cell DNA into breast cancer.
Women that do not wear a bra have the same risk of developing breast cancer as a man. Think about that for a little while. You really should read or listen to this book and act according to your common intelligence.

Very Important to Know
I wish my mother had known about this book when she was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes (in her armpits) back in the early 2000s. She might still be here if we'd had access to more options and knowledge about the lymphatic system at the time. But she was merely seen as a source of money and a prime guinea pig by the top cancer specialists in our state.
Adding going braless to a full regimen of healing would have hurt nothing and could have meant a great deal in combination with other practices. At worst she would have been that much more physically comfortable for the years she had left, and it best having an improved lymphatic system might have helped extend her life.
