Breast Massage Reduces Breast Cancer Risk
By Beverly Smith

A recent study* of 4,700 women found that women who wore bras had an increased chance of acquiring breast cancer. It is very possible that the constant pressure that the bra puts on the breast is limiting the flow of toxins that need to be released, resulting in the increased cancer rate. Any more than a gentle amount of pressure can flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the toxic flow from the breast.

The Study found the highest rate of breast cancer in those who wore bras 24 hours a day, and the lowest rate in those who never wore bras. The study suggested that women should wear their bra less than 12 hours a day.

Self Care Breast Massage

Gentle breast massage will benefit all women and lessen the risk of breast cancer.
Gentle-to-moderate kneading, rubbing, and squeezing strokes with the hands are sufficient to induce increased lymph and blood flow to the breast.

How to do it?

The breast can be kneaded and squeezed by contracting the palm and fingers of the hand (somewhat like a handshake) or the breast can be rubbed and stroked using the palm and fingers of the hand using gentle-to-moderate pressure.

* Women’s breasts vary considerably in texture and sensitivity to pressure. Therefore, gentle strokes should be for those who are sensitive or have softer breasts. Moderate pressure may be more effective for those with firmer-textured breasts.

This procedure should be done at least twice a week. It can be done on bare skin, but you may find that using some vegetable oil may be more comfortable (do not use mineral-based or scented oils).

Step One: Use your fingers to gently smooth away from the nipple. These movements travel from the nipple and directly away using no more pressure than what you would apply to your eyelid. Any more pressure would flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the flow of toxins and fluids. Also, make this stroke slow, not fast, for it to be effective.

Step Two: Gently massage the breast with a kneading-like motion, using lifting and pressing movements.

Step Three: Slowly and carefully use your hands to twist the breast in a clock-wise and counterclockwise direction, being careful not to put too much tension on the breast.

Step Four: Use both hands as shown to apply several, moderate pressure compressions to move out more pressure fluids.

Health Note: If during self-massage any lumps are felt, these lumps should always be investigated thoroughly by informing and visiting a qualified physician.

If any lump is ever found, that area should NOT be massaged until a physician is consulted.

When I posted this, I knew it could easily be construed as dangerously close to irresponsible or thoughtless. I wish to assure you, I wasnt joking about breast cancer but attempting to deliver valuable information with a bit of levity. I too, as most of you, have lost my share of loved ones to this disease.

are you going to start your own foundation to promote this practice?

Thanks for the smile today — that is surely the face of every man I’ve ever seen for whom I’ve bared my chest! BTW, still reading purpose driven life. Making progress? Mayhap. But thought of you last night while lying in bed (lol) when I pictured God tucking my hair behind my ear and patting me, smiling, for all the good efforts I’m making, which I understand to be “worship”…(cont)

…(cont) as far as God is concerned. I heard — now let me repeat that — I HEARD him talking to me, first person. Just the kinda cooing stuff a parent would say to his internally-struggling child. You know, the stuff like, “Daddy loves you so much. I know you’re not perfect; I never expected you to be. I love you anyway.” So… I mean… First person and everything.

Oh… I know where the power I have and he resents is! My sexuality. And I grow weary of negotiating re my libido. LOL. But thanks for the a*ss-kissin’. LOL

I would SO trade p*ssy for the Murano. Soooooooooooo so so so so….. Now. Would I trade housecleaning for the car? Hmm. That’s a better, more on-point query for me. Get me WHERE I LIVE, not him where he doesn’t! *imagining the glee and gluttony which would ensue if he came to me and said you can have it but you’ll have to f*ck me for it!*

I saw a movie with Chris Walkin, AROUND THE BEND, and thought of you because it reminds me of your experience with your mother and how the adult you looks back on it. I think you’d enjoy it. The grandfather says “some of us are more broken than others” and you often speak of wounds. It is a wonderful human story. Let me know if you know of it.

This is stupid! If breast cancer is an opportunity for you to get your jollies, you are in a pretty sad state! A sad state!

ryn: ha. You did definitely capture and hold my attention. read several entries. captivating.

Ryn: Me too.

You mean “yep” as in, yep, you think that about all women about whom you fantasize?

RYN: Of course I KNOW you aren’t talking about my lovely child! I KNOW better than to think you’d suggest such a foul thing to her mother! But you would f*ck her, right? I mean, she’s no dog or anything. LOL. ROFL. Oh… mothers are a complicated set.

ryn: and you are very flattering. 🙂

Yeah what is that about unresolved father issues? I have them myself, I know — Dad’s a girl’s first “lover” and all that. I’m tempted to ask what you could do to help ME with my unresolved father issues, but that would just be wrong.

Ryn: if ONLY I had SOMEONE to wear them for! Wah.

Ryn: Butt-lift panties, huh? No, I don’t think so…not just yet. Also – don’t assume I can’t walk in the shoes. Guess I know who I WON’T be wearing any of these things for!

*crawling on Nunz’s lap* “Why Daddy, what big…” You see? Now that’s just wrong. LOL

Gee, Cold Spring chewed you a new one, didn’t she. LOL. “We” knew you were just joshing. That’s the collective “we.” Not sure who that is. LOL.

Ryn: Puts these (http://www.odgirl.com/item–Clear-Clear-Covergirl–Covergirl-601-PL.html) on, along w/the blue dress…slowly walks over to your desk, pulls your chair out (w/you in it), gets in bet. you and your desk, turns to face you while leaning back on the desk, throws head back while positioning the bottom of the shoe (bet. the front and the heel) at your neck and says,

cont. “Beg me for my forgiveness by whimpering like a puppy…Puppy.”

Ryn: I’ll have to get back with you.

You took a PRIVATE note (I sent you) and put it back on my diary, you dog! LOL.

ryn~I knew I could count on you for a funny comment about that. I don’t know why, but like kittens & puppies, squirrels cannot do their business on their own until they weigh close to 100g and are about 4 weeks old when their eyes also open. Mom squirrel “stimulates” her babies using her tongue but even I won’t go that far. A cotton ball works just fine, thank you.
