Do you have any information on breast reduction?
There are many sisters having this operation, and many sisters are saying it
is for medical reasons such as back pain. My question is there ever a medical
for this operation or is it another trick from western doctors. Peace
Greetings,
This is a great inquiry. The proliferation of bovine growth hormone as well as hormones and steroids fed to chickens, pigs and cows has affected humans quite dramatically over the past couple of decades.
In Puerto Rico, circa 1990, local doctors began to take note of the decreasing age of young girls entering puberty. They attributed the change to the fact that as of recent they had stopped raising their own yard chickens and were buying chicken imported from the United States.
Obesity has been disproportionately high in the U.S. for some time yet within the past two decades it seems to have just exploded. In particular, black women, from the time of puberty forward, are singled out as suffering from an even higher rate of obesity than the general population.
The hormones and steroids given to animals are intended to 1) make them grow faster, 2) make them larger and more muscular, and 3) make cows udders grow larger with more milk production. Thus, when humans consume the meat and dairy products that come from these doped-up animals, they are consuming the same hormones. It has long been known that hormones from other mammals similarly affect humans and cow's milk is loaded with these hormones.
So it is no surprise that women's breasts are growing along with those of dairy cows. This is not occurring among all females; Europe has banned meat and dairy from the U.S. where such hormones have been used. My 11-year-old daughter just graduated the 5th grade and it was amazing to see the sexual maturity of some of her fellow classmates; some of the girls were well over 5 feet tall, with b-cups or larger bras and weighing as much as 160 lbs.
This can be avoided by adopting a "vegan" lifestyle: no meat, no dairy, no artificial ingredients or preservatives. The greatest risk for cancer has been attributed to the high proportion of meat and, especially, dairy within the western die-et. Breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, all reputed to be at all-time epidemic levels among Blacks in the U.S., are directly related to the consumption of food-based hormones as well as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC's) in the environment.
Increased consumption of vegetables containing "phyto-estrogens" is a valuable tool in combating these unnatural estrogenic hormones. These include cruciferous vegetables, soy products, green tea and certain herbs.
Much of the research I am citing in this response come from two of my books: FOOD: IT'S ABOUT SURVIVAL! and MISSING ASSETS: THE CULTURAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF INFERTILITY. I highly recommend both of these books to all my sisters, whom I have the greatest of love and admiration for and wish that they would enjoy longevity and the blessing of wonderful health.
Thus, the "need" for breast reduction will certainly be exploited y a greedy medical industrial establishment, rather than inform the people what they can do nutritionally to reduce the incidence of such hormonal abnormalities. I feel for my beloved African people because we suffer tremendously for the widespread ignorance within our community, but, to be fair, nutritional ignorance is definitely not exclusive to the black community.
