    That is very interesting, I am a breast cancer survivor and if Icould have had earlier detection things could have been different for me. I hope this will help in the future it is very scary to know you are literlly fighting for your life.

    I am battling breast cancer and I entered a study in Reno, Nevada and my oncologist who is also a dentist identified the origin of my breast cancer from my upper right jaw... and with a thermogram followed the "infection" in my jaw caused by stress... biting down to be the entry point of invasive ductal carcinoma... so ladies... keep the stress down... and if it is caused by your "husband" who is causing you this stress... it may be the not so silent killer. We are after all complex creatures and subjected to stress for a long time will weaken our immune system and then we will physically see the effect. I started on Salicinium... but further stress is causing more problems in my breast even though without surgery, chemo or radiation my cancer numbers were falling dramatically. The study was not FDA approved and Salicinium will be available and very inexpensive compared to conventional protocol. A new day is coming and more of us need to volunteer for these studies... and a cure is on the way. Pharmaceuticals like to make money and many "cures" are falling by the wayside. We should be able to make these choices to use alternate approaches to breast cancer that kills women. Women need to be proactive to get results and not have cancer be so profitable... right now the breast cancer treatments are dismal at best. Immuniolgical strengthening is the cheapest and best approach. Healthy in mind and spirit essential... and then many cancers will disappear or never appear in the first place!

    This is great news, the earleir women can spot signs of breast cancer the better chance they have of fighting it, would this be covered in your avarage dental insurance bills or would their be an additional cost added onto this.
