Why breast cancer is usually found near the armpit?

I was informed by the Moderator of Women’s workcom that one of her rep. had been diagnosed with breast cancer and she is concerned that we should inform our friends about this. Ladies - some awareness!!! Gentleman - pass on to the ladies in your life, to all the women you know

Some time ago, I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar put on by Terry & A period.

I asked why the most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit. My question could not be answered at that time. This e-mail was just sent to me, and I find it interesting that my question has been answered.

I challenge you all to rethink 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 just got information from a health seminar that I would like to share.

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

What? A concentration of toxins and leads to cell mutations,a.k.a CANCER . Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so go home and check. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not..

Here’s why : 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 tumours 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, as they normally don’t shave 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.

PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about.

Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common.

This awareness may save lives.

I would like for everyone to research this and comment. If this is true what are we doing to ourselves slowly but surely each day by applying this nonsense to our arms.

The Secret behind the number 11 

Pretty Chilling - read to the bottom.  Try it out.   If you are a sceptical person - still read on as it’s actually very interesting!! This is actually really freaky!! (Mainly the end part, but read it all first)

1) New York City has 11 letters.
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters.  (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993)
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.       This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11.
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6 + 5 = 11.
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known.  9 + 1+ 1 =11.
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.  Sheer coincidence..?  Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254.   2 + 5 + 4 = 11 2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.  

3) The Madrid  bombing took place on 3/11/2004.   3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

Now this is where things get totally eerie:     The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Koran, the Islamic holy book:

“For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.”  

That verse is number 9.11 of the Koran.

 Unconvinced about all of this still ..?       Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:  

Please do the following:
1. Highlight the Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS……………………
   What do you think now????

THE VIBRATOR

AS A WOMAN PASSES HER DAUGHTER’S CLOSED BEDROOM DOOR, SHE HEARD A STRANGE BUZZING NOISE COMING FROM WITHIN.

OPENING THE DOOR, SHE OBSERVED HER DAUGHTER GIVING HERSELF A REAL WORKOUT WITH A VIBRATOR.

SHOCKED, SHE ASKED: ‘WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?’

THE DAUGHTER REPLIED: ‘MOM, I’M THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OLD, UNMARRIED,AND THIS THING IS ABOUT AS CLOSE AS I’LL EVER GET TO A HUSBAND. PLEASE, GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE.’

THE NEXT DAY, THE GIRL’S FATHER HEARD THE SAME BUZZ COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CLOSED BEDROOM DOOR. UPON ENTERING THE ROOM, HE OBSERVED HIS DAUGHTER MAKING PASSIONATE LOVE TO HER VIBRATOR.

TO HIS QUERY AS TO WHAT SHE WAS DOING, THE DAUGHTER SAID: ‘DAD I’M THIRTY-FIVE, UNMARRIED, AND THIS THING IS ABOUT AS CLOSE AS I’LL EVER GET TO A HUSBAND.
PLEASE, GO AWAY
AND LEAVE ME ALONE.’

A COUPLE DAYS LATER, THE WIFE CAME HOME FROM A SHOPPING TRIP, PLACED THE GROCERIES ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER, AND HEARD THAT BUZZING NOISE COMING FROM, OF ALL PLACES, THE LIVING ROOM. SHE ENTERED THAT AREA AND OBSERVED HER HUSBAND SITTING ON THE COUCH, DOWNING A COLD BEER, AND STARING AT THE TV. THE VIBRATOR WAS NEXT TO HIM ON THE COUCH, BUZZING LIKE CRAZY.

THE WIFE ASKED:
‘WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?’

THE HUSBAND REPLIED:
‘I’M WATCHING RUGBY WITH MY SON-IN-LAW.

Here is some advice to the drivers in Cape Town.

At a stop street: STOP.

When robots are out of service: STOP and treat it like a stop street.

Turning left or right: INDICATE.

SPEED: Keep to the Speed limit, an 80km zone is not a 120km zone.

How super annoying is it not that we have to wake up in the morning and not have power. I cannot blowdry my hair and the traffic lights are out everywhere. Making traffic an absolute nightmare. Coming home up to two hours later than usual.

It sucks and what makes it worse is that eskom is getting away with it. We pay for our electricity it doesnt come for free. SO it is our right to have it when we need it. I know we have become very dependant on our luxuries but that is the way the cookie crumbles and most importantly the way business works. Each and every business or enterprize whether big or small uses electricity and suffers losses. Even in our own homes we suffer losses due to meat going to waste, milk going off etc.

I say we should all stand together and create a voice against this nonsense. Our other cultured friends strike when they arent happy, why dont we strike againts all these bigger forces that we face. The electricity giants, the dairy giants, the bread giants. Lets just strike and not use their products for a week. IS there no way we can influence the markets.

Come guys there must be something we can do together. ????

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, “What are all those clocks?”

St. Peter answered, “Those are Lie-Clocks.

Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.”

 

“Oh,” said the man, “Whose clock is that?”

 

“That’s Mother Teresa’s. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.”

 

“Incredible,” said the man. “And whose clock is that one?” St. Peter responded, “That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved twice

telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.”

 

“Where’s Jacob Zuma’s?” asked the man.

 

“Zuma’s clock is in God’s office. He’s using it as a fan.”

Merry Christmas you all
