Fibroid Health

Skipping periods may cut cancer risk so does that mean that disease cancer comes from periods???

I have read these following articles, and found out if you skip a few periods it can reduce the risk of cancer. The modern consequences of too much menstruation include breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome and severe cyclical menstrual symptoms. The belief is regular menses means ‘a good clean out’ but having lots of periods is not a healthy process.

No, this is BS. Note that the professor making these claims (it are just his assumptions, nothing proven here) is a professor of reproductive medicine, so logically he is going to talk in favour of these type of medicines. He even claims that women who would take the pill, even longer than necessary would be better protected against a number of conditions, while the opposite is true! Several studies have already proven that synthetic hormones increase the risk of several hazardous health effects.
Note that he himself uses these terms: *My view* is we *probably* have sufficient, strong, supportive *anecdotal* and *suggestive evidence*, although *no solid long-term evidence*,———->so where’s the hard proof here? Like I said it are purely his assumptions, no scientifical evidence for what he believes.

And if I may make an assumption: I believe that those women from primitive cultures are better protected against disease and cancers, *because* they don’t take dangerous synthetic hormones like most western women do and because they breastfeed much longer, which has also been proven to protect against various forms of cancer. (they also eat a lot less junk, so that may be a factor as well).

No I definitely think you’re making the wrong conclusion to think that cancer comes from periods (that would mean that we women are designed to get cancer, since we all get periods at one point in our lives, which doesn’t make sense). Here some more facts about why having periods regularly is healthy and suppressing them isn’ t:

quote dr. Mercola:
“There is at least one known risk of this: long-term suppression of periods will minimize blood loss and could contribute to iron overload syndromes that are so pervasive in men. Elevated iron stores are one of the primary risk factors for cancer and heart disease. Other studies point to increased risk of different female cancers.

There is no telling what other implications a loss of menstruation may contribute to. Only time will tell.

Aside from the unknown effects of messing with Mother Nature, all birth control pills, contain artificial hormones that your body is not designed to be exposed to, ever.

Long-term use of these synthetic hormones will invariably increase your risk of developing serious chronic illness, including cancer, blood clots, and more.”
