Women across the country are reacting to new recommendations in the fight against breast cancer. A new government panel said practices you learned as a teenager could do more harm than good.

Sounds like the government is setting up some savings for the upcoming national health care costs. The problem with breasts is that they're formed in puberty and by that time the body has already ingested environmental toxins via food additives, chemicals (When you smell a hydrocarbon you actually are also ingesting it), and also the stress people have nowadays causes bad effects on human biochemistry from hormones to neural biochemistry.

Breast cancer, if looked at beyond the scientific data to get to the root cause, shows that although genetics plays a role, there is root cause showing the damage we are inflicting on ourselves chemically by exposure to unnatural substances.

Man only sees the future very limited. Long term effects aren't as apparent but because of that they have longer lasting effects because man cannot connect the cause with the effect...... See More

Breast cancer is the first sign heralding a much deeper problem. We owe it to the ones suffering because they are sacrificing an incarnation to solve this evolutionary problem.

We must first eradicate the cancer so souls don't need to give up an incarnation to solve the issue. And look deeper to solve the underlying cause. Breast cancer is but a sign heralding a much deeper issue for humanity.

Kelly Rapp This is my second year walking and am so very grateful to my supportive family and friends. It is overwhelming to feel and see the love. Thanks to all who walk and support this cause. I am a survivor and have enjoyed the wellness program, yoga, and swim aerobics that are offered to survivors and paid for by the Rays of Hope.

Sunday was a great day, our second time walking, this year is more special. this year my 5 year old son made the whole 5 miles. every time he was ready to quite, he would get back up and say, I'm doing this for my Auntie Ba. and he did. We were the last two walkers to come in I think, it will be a day I will remember forever. God bless all that make this walk possible
