No One Knew THIS Causes Breast Cancer

Dear Reader,

Ask your typical doc why you got breast cancer, and get ready for a clueless shrug.

Maybe you’ll get some mumbo-jumbo about bad luck… or genetics.

Or maybe he’ll even give you the dreaded, “Lots of women get it.”

Not really helpful, right?

For years, docs have struggled to truly understand why some women develop breast cancer and others don’t.

But researchers at the Cleveland Clinic have just made a major discovery into what’s really causing breast cancer.

And their research could give you a big leg-up on preventing this terrible disease.

We already know that the trillions of bacteria living in your gut play a significant role in your health.

The good bacteria should outnumber the bad—and the more diversity the better.

There’s been plenty of research about the bacteria in your gut, which is called your microbiome.

But it turns out that breast tissue itself has its own microbiome.

For years, researchers have suspected that these breast bacteria play a role in breast cancer. Now, scientists have taken a big step towards proving it.

This recent study revealed that there is a difference in the bacterial composition of women with breast cancer compared to women without.

The researchers found that healthy breast tissue has more of a specific bacterial species called Methylobacterium, while samples from women with breast cancer had higher levels of bacteria like Staphylococcus and Actinomyces.

Understanding these differences opens the door to the possibility of testing for bacterial imbalances in breast tissue in order to stop breast cancer before it develops.

But if we know that good bacteria play a role in preventing breast cancer, I’d start taking action today.

There are plenty of ways to support good bacteria right now.

This includes eating foods like onions, garlic, and raw asparagus, and fermented foods like sauerkraut, yogurt, and kefir.

Of course, one of the easiest ways to improve bacteria in your body by taking a high-quality probiotic. You can buy them in the refrigerated section of any local health food store.

Also, be sure your diet contains plenty of fiber since fiber contains prebiotics that help feed your gut bacteria.

To a brighter day,

Dr. Richard Gerhauser, M.D.
