BRCA: My Story of Hope and Healing: My resources

My resources

A friend of mine asked me to post links to where I purchase all my supplements etc...here it is, hope it helps!

Vitamin D...Costco, it's about $16 for two large bottles of liquid Vit D. It tastes a lot like apple juice. My kids like it and happily take it daily. I add it to my vegetable juice and helps to sweeten it up a little.

Iodine: HERE is where I buy mine (15%,) I have also seen it on Amazon.com. I purchase at Herbal Healers because they sell a more concentrated form of iodine. I believe the highest concentration you can get in the US is 2% which is supplement level. If your going to help your thyroid...it's just not strong enough unless you are going to take like 30-40 drops at a time. I bought a larger bottle of 5% for food storage.

Hydrogen Peroxide: I got mine in Idaho Falls at "Wealth of Health" natural food store along with glass dropper bottles. Not all health food stores carry HP, so get on the phone and call around before heading out to get it.

Sprouts: I order my sprouts from sproutpeople.com. Alfalfa is easy to sprout and you can get those seeds anywhere, but broccoli sprouts are more sensitive and I have had a significantly more successful harvest with broccoli seeds ordered from sprout people. I will be buying alfalfa seeds for long term storage at Walton Feed by the 50 lb bag and storing them in storage buckets. A food storage specialist summed up sprouting like this..."all the food you have stored for the long term is processed (it has to be to last years,) those foods are the fillers...your sprouts are the nutrients." I whole heartedly agree. It's a garden that grows in 3 days right inside your kitchen.

I sprout using the sprout master. I like it because it has good air circulation and drains easy. I can sprout 1/4 cup of alfalfa or broccoli in the large trays. I also have the easy sprouter (cups) they are about a quart in size and I use them when I travel, they are really easy to transport and you soak, grow and store all in the sami container. These both are also available at sproutpeople.com.

Coconut Oil: I have bought my coconut oil at Fred Meyer in their natural food section...also by the gallon at Nutivia.com. It doesn't matter what brand it is...just make sure is is extra virgin organic Coconut oil.

What you will like about the Essence Dropper Bottles is that they are easy to use and you can adjust them to whatever project or idea you have in mind. bulk dropper bottles

About Me

My name is Cami, I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend. I have six beautiful children and an amazing husband.

In December 2010 my mother passed away at the age of 53 of breast cancer. Two weeks later I found out that I am a carrier of the same genetic mutation, BRCA 2, that my mother had.

I have taken some steps medically and naturally to beat my odds of cancer. I am sharing my journey here to benefit those seeking knowledge and information about cancer, genetic mutation and good health in general.

What are my chances for developing cancer with a BRCA gene mutation?

According to estimates, about 36% – 85% of women with a BRCA gene mutation will develop breast cancer. In other words, women with an altered BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene are 3 to 7 times more likely to develop breast cancer than women without a BRCA mutation.

Having a BRCA mutation increases your lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer from an estimated 2% (general population) to between 20- 60%. Note that these figures are estimated ranges that may change with more research.

A woman's lifetime chance of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer is greatly increased if she tests positive for a BRCA mutation. If you have a BRCA mutation, you also have an increased risk of developing these cancers at a young age (before menopause), and may have an increased chance of developing colon cancer.

This mutatuion is passed down through a mother or a father. If your mother or father tests negative, the children need not worry about the genetic mutation.
