New and Enhanced Women’s Breast Health Formula at COEM in Charleston SC

Our New & Enhanced WBHF is appropriate for any adult woman with a personal or family history of fibrocystic breast disease or breast cancer or who simply wants to prevent breast cancer.

a) For women who simply want to prevent breast cancer or who have normal breast tissues (rated TH1 or TH2 on a breast thermascan), one packet one time per day is recommended.

b) For women with abnormal breast tissues, a dose of one packet TWO times per day is strongly recommended. These are women with breast thermascans rated TH3, TH4, or above, or women with a past history of breast cancer. The nutrients in our New & Enhanced WBHF are highly effective for reverting abnormal breast health tissues when taken consistently for 3 to 4 months at this higher dose. In these cases, we also strongly recommend a woman pay careful attention to the diet and lifestyle measures recommended in our breast thermography reports. After 3 to 4 months, a repeat thermascan will verify if the breast tissues have reverted to normal and the Women’s Breast Health Formula (WBHF) can be reduced to one packet per day.

c) For adolescent women who are still developing, or chronically underweight women with known estrogen deficiencies, we do not recommend that they take WBHF. This is a strong estrogen-converting formula. The best way to accurately measure estrogen and other hormone levels is with a saliva comprehensive hormone panel, since it measures only active hormones. Blood hormone tests measure both active and inactive hormones. A woman shouldn’t assume she is low in estrogen because she’s menopausal (see next question below).

d) Adult men can take this formula too! Due to estrogen mimics in our environment, most men have too high estrogen levels also, which puts them at risk for prostate cancer. The WBHF is very helpful for them.

Many menopausal women have symptoms that they have been told were because their bodies no longer make estrogen in appropriate amounts after menopause. However, results of saliva hormone panels have demonstrated that their symptoms were actually coming from having too little progesterone in relation to estrogen, which is called estrogen dominance. Our WBHF greatly helps women to correct this pattern and also helps convert forms of estrogen that are considered proliferative (cancer-promoting) to forms that are more protective against cancer.

Is the Women’s Breast Health Formula all that helpful? It seems like a lot of money for supplements and my family thinks I’m being naïve to think something like this could help reverse abnormal breast tissues.

We are passionate about our Women’s Breast Health Formula because we have seen it work with clinical results. We have several women whose thermascan results were rated TH3 or TH4. A rating of TH4 carries a 65% chance of confirming a malignancy using thermology criteria. When these women consistently used the WBHF, one packet two times per day with meals, paired with the other diet and lifestyle measures we recommend, their thermascan results reverted to more normal ratings within 4 to 6 months, or occasionally taking as long as 12 months to revert all the way back to a TH1. Their repeat thermascan results have shown a dramatic difference, and these previously very fearful women were thrilled, especially since many had strong family histories of breast cancer. We have not seen these results in women who did not use the WBHF consistently at the full therapeutic dose, and did not adopt the full comprehensive breast health program
Keep in mind that these higher doses of WBHF are only necessary while there are abnormal breast tissues, and lower doses may be taken for maintenance once the diet and lifestyle measures are routinely practiced. Some women do opt to stay indefinitely at the higher dose of one packet two times per day, but that is their personal choice based on a prudent approach to their own health history. Prevention is always less expensive than treatment of breast cancer.

Our WBHF has evolved over the years, based on clinical results from close to 1500 thermography patients enrolled in our Women’s Breast Health Program. We found our patients who took both our old version of the WBHF, plus therapeutic doses of Ubiquinol (the active form of CoQ10), natural Vitamin D3, extra Iodine in iodine/iodide or seaweeds, Omega 3 oils, and Tocotrienols/Vitamin E Complex had better results. But that meant these women were paying much more and juggling multiple bottles to manage their supplement program. They traded worrying about breast cancer for worrying about how to manage their extensive supplement program!

So we felt it was definitely time to combine all these excellent, highly effective nutrients into one formula, and pass on the savings to our patients. We estimate that a woman saves about $84.00 when she buys the New & Enhanced WBHF, over purchasing all the nutrients separately. We’re thrilled, as our family members or we take this formula too!

In addition, nutrition research advances so quickly that we had to take advantage of the more active and more easily assimilated forms of nutrients that are now available to us. Folic acid has been replaced by natural folate, d-alpha Tocopherol with a full Vitamin E Complex including mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols, and other changes have been made that are not readily apparent to the average consumer. These forms of nutrients seem more expensive, but are actually less expensive in the long run because the body uses them so much more easily and can accomplish more repair and repletion with less of the newer forms of nutrients.

We found that many women were just taking one packet of the WBHF daily, so we increased the amount of multiple vitamin/multiple mineral capsules in each packet to provide more general health protection. Actually, the new formula is so comprehensive that we consider it capable of being a stand-alone prevention formula, when paired with a healthful diet and lifestyle.

The minerals that are in our New & Enhanced WBHF are in balance. Calcium definitely competes with zinc for absorption, and to a certain extent with manganese, and those are CRITICAL trace minerals to prevent cancer and atherosclerosis (plaque in the arteries leading to heart disease and stroke). Interestingly, women are now developing more cancer, immune problems, and heart disease since our society has been pushing high dose calcium supplementation. Depending upon the form and dose of calcium in those products, the other nutrients can’t compete for absorption. The really sad thing is that for calcium to be utilized properly by the body, it actually needs all the other minerals to be in balance

If a woman wants to take more calcium/magnesium, we recommend that she do it at a DIFFERENT time in the day and take it with a Vitamin K2 supplement (menaquinone or MK-7). It would be even better to consider using food sources of calcium, since calcium in foods has not been shown to decrease the absorption of either zinc or manganese. If you request, a list of non-dairy sources of calcium can be provided to you.

• Here’s what EACH ONE PACKET of WBH Formula contains and why: (Suggested Dose: 1 packet 1 or 2 times per day-see above)

• 3 Multi-Thera hypoallergenic multi-vitamin, multi-mineral capsules, iron-free — provide all essential vitamins & minerals, in proper ratios. 6 capsules (in 2 packets) provide over 100% of more than 25 essential nutrients. Iron is not included due to its oxidizing effect.

• 2 Omega 3 fish oil capsules, 300 mg EPA\ 200 mg DHA –balance the large amount of Omega 6 fatty acids in our diet, reduce the risk of cancer forming or metastasizing, help reduce inflammation and pain, and support proper hormone balance. Always take fish oils with extra Vitamin E (see below).

• 1 Indole Forte (Indole 3 Carbinol (IC3) & Diindolylmethane (DIM) capsule – 400 mg. — active ingredients found in the crucifera family of vegetables: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, etc. IC3/DIM stimulates the proper metabolism of estrogen from 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone to the anti-proliferative metabolite 2-hydroxyestrone.

• 1 Ubiquinol 100 mg. softgel, the highly active reduced form of Coenzyme Q10 — acts as a potent antioxidant in the energy factories (mitochondria) & membranes of cells. Kaneka QH Ubiquinol is more expensive to produce but gram for gram has over twice the effect of regular Co Q10. Numerous studies support Co Q10’s role in reverting abnormal breast tissues to normal. Many of our patients have felt the difference in their energy when they routinely take Ubiquinol.

• 1 Vitamin E Plus Tocotrienols softgel, 200 IU Vit. E / 50 mg. Mixed Tocotrienols – Breast Cancer patients have low levels of Vitamin E and dangerously high levels of peroxides. Vitamin E in most nutritional supplements (d-alpha tocopherol acetate form) does not provide truly protective Vitamin E. The d-alpha tocopherol succinate form included here has been shown to be protective in breast cancer, and the mixed tocotrienols are the most highly active of all. MultiThera in this formula (see above) provides d-gamma tocopherol and mixed tocopherols to round out the full Vitamin E complex. Always take Vitamin E complex when taking any supplemental oils in the diet.

• 1 Iodine Complex capsule, 6.25 mg. — induces apoptosis (cell death), the mechanism that turns off cancer. Japanese women have very low levels of breast cancer because of their seaweed diet containing high levels of iodine. They also consume an average of 14 mg of dietary iodine a day compared to American women who average 0.5 mg per day.

• 1 Vitamin D3 capsule, 1000 I.U. — This active natural form of Vitamin D3 has been shown to reduce the incidence of breast & prostate cancer by almost 80%. Vitamin D boosts immunity, helps overcome depression, and prevents diabetes. Sunlight is a major source of Vitamin D3 production on our skin but primarily only during mid-day exposure between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for at least 15 minutes. MultiThera included in each packet supplies an additional 400 I.U. in each packet.

• 1 Calcium D Glucarate capsule, 500 mg. — supports the second phase of the body’s own detoxification process (Phase II glucuronidation) that deactivates and eliminates toxins, including excessive estrogen. It is felt to be as effective as tomoxifen in preventing cancer or its recurrence but is safer. Because of its beneficial effect on reducing excessive estrogen, body builders use Calcium D-Glucarate to reduce fat and increase lean muscle mass.

• 1 canister, 60 packets, 1 or 2-month supply, $160.00.
We offer discounts on multiple canisters purchased at one time.
