This past month, in the United States the spotlight has been on "buying pink" to fund breast cancer research.

Even with all this funding, breast cancer in women in the United States has quadrupled in the last 40 years, causing physical and emotional pain for women and their families.

Donna Eden, a medical intuitive, explains how she can "see" the energetic influence of a bra on our bodies. Especially an underwire bra stops the natural flow of energy and fluids through the lymphatic systems in our breasts.

Scientific evidence supports the connection between bras and breast disease. The theory is that bras can inhibit the proper functioning of the lymphatic system, which is an internal network of vessels and nodes that flushes wastes from the body.

Accumulated wastes and toxins from the breast can result in fibrocystic changes (benign lumps, cysts, and pain) and create a breeding ground for various problems, including cancer. Studies show that women who breastfeed and/or exercise regularly have a lower incidence of breast disease - but not as low as bra-free women.

Lymphatic circulation is highly dependent on movement. Each subtle bounce of the breast gently massages the breast and increases lymphatic flow, cleaning the breast of toxins.

Bra-free women are constantly promoting lymphatic flow. Wearing a bra constricts the natural flow. However, you may not be ready to go completely bra-free.

There is a simple and quick way you can promote lymphatic flow: Self-massage. The neurolymphatic system circles each breast, and naturally flows to the lymph nodes under the arm. Begin in the center of your chest, and massage around the top of the breasts to the outside, toward and into the underarm.

Then do the same for the underside of the breasts, beginning at the center of the chest, around the underneath of the breast to the underarm.

The best prevention is massaging each breast daily, either at night when you remove your bra, or in the shower.

At first, your breasts may be sore. Start gently, increasing the pressure as the soreness dissipates. As the toxins are released, you might experience some detox symptoms... mild to medium tiredness, sinus congestion, headaches, some cramping, etc.

Treat yourself well, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and keep massaging.

Protect your breasts. This quick and easy cleansing of your lymph system could just be the safest, easiest and most effective way to reduce the risk of breast cancer, and perhaps even prevent it from ever occurring.
