Which do you want to accomplish?  Not perspiring, or smelling good?  Use deodorant instead with a small amount of baking soda as a base.  If you just want to smell good, use only deodorant.

discovered?  has been described for centuries, women have died from this for most of history.\n\nDon't think there is a satisfactory answer for that.\n\nhow?  it was growing through her chest some time in 500BC, something like that.\n\nbest history of breast cancer can be found reading about Halsted, the father of modern surgery, and first man to improve survival in breast cancer patients.\n\nA great man, sorta, gotta read on this man to know anything about breast cancer.

Wow..thanks for the info. I truly believe in "natural cures" to prevent and cure cancer. \nI wish more people would at least look further into a natural approach such as eating an all organic diet and whole foods, herbs, etc. for a cure BEFORE going through all the pain and agony of traditional cancer treatments, chemo and synthetic drugs. \nDrugs made by the drug companies who could care less about finding a cure for cancer. If they did ..they would go out of business!

I've heard that Mederma works well.  It's a little bit expensive, but it's probably worth it, and it's available over-the-counter.  I've seen it at Wal-Mart and other drugstores.

Actually it is best not to use any underarm deodorant if possible.Most contain Aluminum Zirconium and other chemicals which are not good for your skin.I have heard on the news that some of these chemicals are being tested to see if they cause breast cancer.Bath and Body Works is a store you may have heard of that sells all kinds of body sprays and more natural deodorant products.

You need to buy Anti-perspirant.  Deodorant just masks the B.O.

I have clicked on the link and I read about a chemical substance(filter), that is called PBSA and is contained in some sunscreens. \nIt's impressing!\nWe put on our skin a product in order to protect it and we do exactly the opposite! Thanks for the information. I haven't heard about this, but BBC site is a trustworthy site, so this notice must be valid.\nI suppose that this special case is the result of a European Union program about chemicals, their detection and their elimination from our daily life.\n\nKaterina

I don't hink wearing bra will cuase breast cancer. Deodorant is one of the biggest causes and obviously if it runs in the family genetically you could also be prone.\n\nI found in Marks and Spencers the other day these stick on nipple covers that will just go over your nipples and prevent them from getting rubbed

I did not know that it had anti-cancer causing properties, but it is a strong anti-oxidant ( which would fight carcinogens in the system), so I can see why it might help fight breast cancer. It does have alot of other good healthy effects on the body. Alot of people take flax seed oil these days. It couldn't hurt!

I just watched a news special recently on nbc re: freezing water bottles.\n\nI found this article that I copied and pasted.  But I have also read on other websites that it does not.\n\n"DIOXINS Carcinogens cause cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water as this also releases dioxins in the plastic. Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle Hospital was on a TV program explaining this health hazard. He is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital. He was talking about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxins into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.\n\nThen I found this article from John Hopkins that says it does not\n\n\nBALTIMORE -- Johns Hopkins researchers have responded to an e-mail warning against freezing water bottles. A recent e-mail hoax claims Hopkins scientists warned people that freezing plastic bottles releases dioxins into the water. But the researchers say that's entirely false -- they said freezing plastic water bottles will not expose people to dangerous chemicals.\n\nResults | Disclaimer \n \nAccording to Dr. Rolf Halden, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, freezing actually works against the release of chemicals and scientists are not even sure plastics contain dioxins. \nHowever, Halden does warn that another group of chemicals that are used to make plastic less brittle can be released if you place them in hot water or heat them in the microwave.\n\nBut Halden stresses that people should not be afraid of drinking water and that "you are more likely to suffer from the adverse effects of dehydration than from the miniscule amounts of chemical contaminants present in your water supply."\n\nHe also said people should be more concerned about the quality of the water they drink more than the bottle from which they drink it. Although people tend to assume bottled water is the safest route, Halden said city water is much more highly regulated and monitored for quality.

try B+Drier, it works miracles.  i've tried so many anti-perspirants including certain-dri but they never worked for more than an hour or two.  B+Drier is 15% aluminum chloride, the active ingredient in anti-perspirants, which is the highest you'll find over the counter.  plus it doesnt itch like certain-dri, just make sure you put it on every night before bed for the best results.  and wear your normal deoderant as well, because its only an anti-perspirant.

A meta-analysis on this issue was reported in the May 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).  They found 'some evidence' for increased risks of certain types of cancer and recommended additional research.\n\nHope this is helpful for you.

My communications class teacher would tell us we could put a little anti-perspirant on our hands and that would solve the problem. Good luck!

Yes, because I have pets and their health is valuable to me, along with my own health and safety.  Not only that, we need more products that don't hurt the environment.  We don't need to be breathing chemicals in our houses.  I'm a cancer survivor and I'm a firm believer that environmental hazardous products cause about 90% of cancers, whether it be aluminium in deoderant to ammonia in cleaners.  I feel it breaks down the body's natural defenses to illness.

I'd sure be cautious with any Methylene Chloride!  It is highly volatile and it is a carcinogen.  Nasty stuff!  I would first try a strong detergent and steam.  Steam will loosen a lot of compounds that you wouldn't expect to respond to heat and water alone.\n\nJohnny

Yesterday I heard a story about this on NPR. It was on All Things Considered called "Study: Estrogen Protects Some From Breast Cancer." It sounds like it is individual for each woman depending on past family history and overall current health. Check out the link.
