Breast Cancer Caused by Bras?
March 30, 2000
News: I really enjoyed the Colorado ski slopes, Cooper Mt. and Breckenridge, last weekend. Spring skiing is great with warm sunshine and fluffy snow, but since snow reflects and magnifies intensity of sunrays, you can really get a nasty sunburn. I didn't because I used Fountain Pharmaceutical's LyphaZome 8 hour time-released Sunscreen (SPF 30) - not even the usual "raccoon" face! All I did was apply it under my make-up each morning and it delivered total protection for 8 hours. Everyone else had red faces and necks! I discovered this product in Germany under the name of Day Long many years ago - all the models use it since it allows them to tan, but prevents skin damage from burning rays. Its patented method of delivery enables sunscreen to be encapsulated into molecular beads, which fully penetrate the skin before releasing protection. You can even shower or swim right after application and still be protected for 8 hours. This product used to be sold in Bloomingdale’s in the late 80's as a moisturizer with sunscreen protection in the Octazome skin care line for $49.00. Now it is available from Plastic Surgeons for use after laser surgery, but since I've known this company for years, I am able to offer it to you for only $19.95 (no middle man!). I use it daily as a moisturizer on my face/neck and whenever I golf, swim or ride my horse I additionally apply it to top of my shoulders, upper back, chest, and back of hands. No re-application is necessary... use the cheaper stuff on rest of body so you can reapply easily and stretch your dollar, but save your face and neck from showing age from daily sun exposure with this remarkable product that delivers 8 hours of protection. My new website is up and running! Still have lots of work to do with additional information, testimonials, before/after pictures, and new products for the shopping cart, but now you don't have to enter personal information each time you order. The shopping cart remembers everything except credit card information (for extra security). Also, the new cart enables those registered with T-Tapp Tip Newsletter to receive newsletter specials and coupons through shopping cart. I shared my testimonial about sunscreen so if you want to try it, you can get it at 30% discount! Instead of $19.95, you can purchase the 4 oz. LyphaZome Sunscreen at $13.97 thru April 15th. Since I received substantial discount from Fountain Pharmaceutical by purchasing several cases, I am sharing my discount with T-Tapp Club members to celebrate the new web site design.
Remember last newsletter when I told you about my model, Shakira, getting the Victoria Secret campaign? Well, she also has two pages in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! I feel like a proud mother... I get the same feeling every time I receive testimonials from each of you! I will have many more testimonials posted on the website within next 10 days… if you have a testimonial to share please email it to teresatapp@yahoo.com - your story can motivate many to realize that they, too, can regain control and that it's never too early or too late to get fit!
There is an additional special offer on the website to celebrate my one year anniversary on the internet as well as two year anniversary as exercise editor of Women's Fitness magazine. Soon I will offer monthly articles (just like I do for Women's Fitness) on my web site since WF magazine isn't offered in Canada anymore and it's often difficult to find in smaller cities (they sell out quickly). Current circulation of WF is 230,000 and still growing. Current hits per day to my website average 10,000 and it has received more than 1.5 million during the past year! Thank you!

Breast Cancer Caused by Bras? Many of you know I have special interest when it comes to cancer since my mother died at age 29 and I am genetically linked to the same cancer. I even was told that I may not live past age 33 since I wouldn't allow an enlarged lymph node to be removed from my right armpit. I am driven to research and share anything I discover to help all women prevent any cancer from destroying our bodies. Reason I wanted to keep my lymph node, even though enlarged, is because it is doing its job! Our lymphatic system is very important in the prevention of disease. I created both the T-Tapp Total Workout and the CRT Skin Tightening System with focus on maintaining optimal lymphatic function and healthy breast tissue.
The incidence of Breast Cancer in women in the US has quadrupled in the last 40 years causing 44,300 deaths annually. If it's localized and detected early, the survival rate is 96%. However, if the cancer has spread regionally, the survival rate drops to 75%; if it has spread to distant parts of the body, the rate is only 20%. Cancer prevention and early detection are paramount to lowering your risk of this disease.
Despite dramatic increase in research funding and awareness, cancer's cause is still under debate - ranging from genetics to retroactive viruses to daily exposure of environmental and lifestyle pollutants, including radiation, contraceptives, diet, pesticides, man-made carcinogens, antibiotics and hormonal replacement therapy. In fact, hormone replacement therapy has been clinically proven to increase development of breast cancer! Yet few conclusive preventative measures have been developed. Unfortunately, mammograms haven't been as accurate in cancer diagnosis as originally hoped - their difficulty to interpret leads to broad range of inconsistent conclusions.
Despite all of this, there is hope! While most observations have been highly selective in looking only for some outside, external agent as the cause, some research has been directed to looking at the breast tissues themselves and what may be going wrong inside them to allow cancer to occur. Fact is it's unlikely that it's any one factor alone. It's more probable that many elements - both external and internal are involved in some way in breast cancer. Recent research has revealed some remarkable facts for prevention and self-help.
Your body's largest lymphatic network stretches from the breasts to an area just under each arm. This area contains a network of filtering devices and pathogen storage areas to cleanse the breast and blood of cellular debris and toxins, and safely hold viruses, bacteria and other pathogens for destruction and removal by the body's immune system. Such a filtering network is essential to a healthy body. Like plugged-up plumbing, if the network becomes blocked or constricted, lumps, cysts and infections can develop, which if not corrected within a timely manner can turn into cancer. Making sure the lymphatic network within the breast remains unobstructed is of critical importance.
It's reasonable to conclude that restriction of the lymphatic network and circulation within the breasts could greatly increase one's risk of developing breast cancer, as it allows the build-up of carcinogenic compounds without appropriate lymphatic drainage. In other words, when the lymphatic network cannot be drained, the body's garbage cannot be removed, thus poisoning life within the breasts - allowing cancer to ensue. Therefore, anything found to restrict lymphatic flow within the breast is a contraindication of breast health and should be avoided.
Research reveals: Finding the means to enhance lymphatic drainage could just be the safest, easiest and most effective way to reduce the risk of breast cancer, and perhaps even prevent it from every occurring.
The Bra: Could It Restrict Lymphatic Flow? Ironically, what may cause the unhealthiest restriction of the breasts is not found within breast tissue, but outside of them; bras have been found to severely constrict lymphatic flow in the breasts and impede blood circulation. Because of this, bras may be an important factor behind breast cancer. It is not just coincidence that breast cancer rates are highly correlated to the bra's cultural popularity - an invention solely promoted by fashion in the 1930's - we've seen breast cancer rates increase since its creation. Bras offer no real medical benefit. Even when they were first promoted, some health professionals spoke against bras because of the possible restricting effects they can have on the lymphatic network.
Recent research seems to justify their concerns. A medical anthropologist, Sidney Singer, performed a very simple experiment, comparing the incidence of breast cancer in Fiji within two groups of women: those that wore bras and those that didn't. Diet, lifestyle and environment were the same for both groups. Interestingly, it was discovered that those who wore bras had the same rate of breast cancer as women living in the US, whereas those that went bras-less experienced little, if any, breast cancer at all. Later, it was also learned that wearing a bra 12-14 hours a day actually increased the production of prolactin, a hormone that acts to decrease overall blood circulation in the breast.
The constricting properties of a bra not only make it difficult for safe and healthy lymphatic flow, but also decrease overall blood circulation. When both lymphatic and blood flow are restricted, cellular debris, impurities, toxins, environmental pollutants, and pathogens cannot be safely excreted from the breast. This leaves a kind of "systemic garbage" that the breasts are left to "stew" in, which if left too long, will cause infectious carcinogenic blockages, which may eventually lead to cancer.
If you think about it, it makes common sense. When bras are not worn, the breasts are allowed to move independently with the body, creating a natural and efficient "pumping action" that acts to drain the lymphatic network of the breasts regularly and easily. Bras restrict such independent movement of the breasts. Obviously, anything we can do to re-introduce or accelerate the body's lymphatic drainage of the breasts, removing the toxins and carcinogenic compounds from within the breast tissue, will lower the risk of these compounds causing any problems.
I am not telling you to "burn your bras" like they did in the 60's, but to think about preventative measures to promote healthy breast tissue... like brushing your body in the special CRT pattern, which stimulates your lymphatic system to drain and circulate pollutants from your breasts and body. The CRT Skin Tightening System does much more than control cellulite and rebuild skin elasticity... it helps clean your body from the inside out. Every time I do the CRT pattern of skin brushing in the morning, the lump in my right armpit disappears and stays gone for approximately 3 - 4 hours. This visually verifies how the brushing stimulates my enlarged lymph node to drain its stored toxins and be eliminated from my body. I also do the Primary Back Stretch sequence – its neck movements, head tilts, arm pumps, etc are all designed to pump lymph fluid and drain toxins from storage areas (specific nodules within lymphatic network). Other exercise movements I created to promote lymphatic function are: Plie Sequence (the arm sequence with plies is important), Thread the Needle, Hoe Downs, and Awesome Legs. Those of you who do T-Tapp Workout realize what these movements are - those who don't know T-Tapp Total Workout can purchase any of these movements on a separate Target Pop Video for either $14.95 or $19.95 or download Awesome Legs from the web site for free. The most important lymphatic movement sequence of all is the Primary Back Stretch - do this 5 minute movement sequence at any time daily to stimulate your lymphatic system. I do it every morning followed by the CRT dry brush pattern and again right before I go to bed. Primary Back Stretch was the first movement I created, copyrighted, and then patented. I believe this movement is a gift from God and that it has helped my body keep cancer at bay. Primary Back Stretch also stimulates the circulatory system and opens neuro-kinetic flow, but that's another topic for another newsletter (or the book). Primary Back Stretch is on the shopping cart at discounted price of $19.95... learn it to the Point of Perfection then share it with all your loved ones... even men… because women aren't the only ones with a lymphatic system!
Let me know what you think about the new website design. I think Don Galbraith of Required Media did a fantastic job. Featured product for month of April is the CRT Skin Tightening System - even the medical community is interested in this system. Soon I will be featured on WebMD.com! I'll share details once all is finalized... exciting stuff!
So... lets all brush our bodies the CRT way after we remove our bras each evening for healthy breast tissue (side effect: breast might "perk up" from skin getting tighter) or if you are small breasted, like me, let them be "free" (but still brush ‘em!).
Thanks again to all of you for a wonderful first year of sharing the news on the web!
Best wishes,
