hi guys, read on. this may spare our lives from this dreaded disease...

This is very interesting and could be possible...

Hi! A friend of mine who has rec'd chemotherapy and is now receiving
>; Radiation at Princess Margaret hospital for breast cancer phoned me
>; today to tell me what they have now found about causes of
>; breast cancer.
>;
>; And then tonight, got the same information from another friend in
>; Montreal.
>; The person with the cancer has been told by the hospital to only use
>; deodorant rather than an anti-perspiring. The reasons are outlined in the
>; letter below.
>; Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing:

>; Breast Cancer
>;
>; I'm forwarding this to everyone I know because it makes so much sense.
>; Please forward it to everyone you care about and even those you don't.
>; Ladies - some awareness! Gentleman - pass on to the ladies in your life!
>; Please read this... very important... Some time ago, I attended a
>; Breast Cancer Awareness seminar put on by Terry Birk
>; with support from Dan Sullivan. During the Q&A period, I asked why the
>; most common area for Breast Cancer was near the arm pit. My question
>; could not be answered at that time. This email was just sent to me, and I
>; find it interesting that my question has been answered. I challenge you
>; all to
>; re-think your every day use of a product that could ultimately lead to a
>; terminal illness.
>;
>; As of today, I will change my use. A friend forwarded this to me.
>; I showed it to a friend going through chemotherapy and she said she
>; learned
>; this fact in a support group recently. I wish I had known it 14 years
>; ago.
>; I just got information from a health seminar that I would like to share.
>; The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant.
>;
>; What? A concentration of toxins leads to cell mutations:
>; a.k.a. CANCER. Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the
>; products out there are an anti-perspirant/deodorant combination, so go
>; home and check. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not. Here's why:
>; The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the
>; knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged
>; in
>; the
>; form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant, as the name clearly indicates,
>; prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging
>; toxins
>; from
>; below the armpits. These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead,
>; the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot
>; sweat them out. Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper
>; outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph
>; nodes
>; are located. Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely
>; exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti-perspirant usage
>; because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and
>; is
>; not directly applied to the skin. Women who apply anti-perspirant right
>; after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost
>; imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into
>; the
>; body
>; from the armpit area.
>;
>; PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about. Breast
>; cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may
>; save lives. If you are skeptical about these findings, I
>; urge you to do some research for yourself. You will arrive
>; at the same conclusions,
>; I assure you.

It's an old myth. Check a couple of old threads in the medical forum.
