To get enough Vitamin D for enhanced immunity, you'd need to drink a quart of 2% milk. To get enough DIM from cruciferous vegetables, you'd have to consume two pounds of raw broccoli. You'd also need to down six cups of green tea and two glasses of red wine for their antioxidant properties, a bowl of Indian curry for balancing inflammatory response, six cups of lettuce for detoxification, and a bunch of Maitake mushrooms for added immunity. And that's every day!
"Even in the name of improved breast health, nobody's going to run this kind of culinary gauntlet and sustain it," says Christine Homer, MD, FACS. Dr. Horner is the surgeon who spearheaded a national campaign in the 90s that pushed legislation through Congress requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Her latest campaign, named after her new book, Waking the Warrior Goddess, is focused on improving breast health nationally through public education on research-proven natural approaches.
"Medical experts that provide long laundry lists of breast health-enhancing foods and herbs only create confusion and frustration," says Dr. Horner. "I believe in simplifying the issue by highlighting just those ingredients known to produce the best benefits. These ingredients, along with a few simple lifestyle refinements, can make optimal breast health achievable."
Dr. Horner, in collaboration with Enzymatic Therapy Inc., has developed the Protective Breast Formula*, which combines seven natural ingredients in clinically-studied doses with established clinical efficacy for promoting breast health*. In contrast to narrowly focused breast health products, Protective Breast Formula takes a multifunctional approach in targeting five key areas—hormonal balance* (Indoplex - DIM); immune support* (Maitake Pre-D fraction, and Vitamin D3); detoxification* (Calcium D-Glucarate); defense against free radical damage* and oxidative stress* (Green Tea Extract, and Grape Seed Extract); and balancing the body's natural inflammatory response* (Turmeric curcuma extract).
"Protective Breast Formula is a nutrient powerhouse defense with strong synergistic properties that establishes a vital foundation for healthy breasts," says Dr. Horner. "This is a landmark product for its comprehensive scope, clinically-studied potency and for making the nutritional component to breast health a simple, one-step process," she explains. "Protective Breast Formula delivers real food equivalents of nutritional protection that would be difficult to attain through the daily diet." The product is available at www.protectivebreast.com or 1- 866-795-3517. The recommended daily dosage is two tablets per day.
