This was sent to me by a friend and thought I should pass it on.

Subject: breast cancer -- please read and pass on!

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! Gentlemen - pass on to the ladies
in your life!

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 are for breast cancer was near the armpit.
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.

The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant.

A concentration of toxins can lead to cell mutations a.k.a. CANCER.
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.

Most of the products out there are anti-perspirant/deodorant
combinations, so go home and check!! Deodorant is fine,
anti-perspirant is not!!

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.

addendum:

aluminum is often used in deodorants and can enter the body causing
many problems, not the least of which is a precursor to Alzheimer's...
