Myths about the causes and prevention of cancer have been floating around for years. While some have been tame, there have been some cancer myths that are downright outlandish and ridiculous. Check out the craziest cancer myths in this Top 10 style list.
1) Myth: Fellatio Greatly Reduces a Woman's Risk Factor for Breast Cancer
Truth: An email circulated with a link to what appeared to be a bonafide CNN news story claiming that a study found that women who performed fellatio reduced their risk of breast cancer. The truth is that there is no evidence that performing fellatio will reduce your risk of cancer.
2) Myth: Designer Lipsticks Contain Lead that Cause Cancer.
Truth: The FDA regulates all cosmetics manufacturing. It is logical to think that if a lipstick contained an ingredient that is sure to cause cancer, it would be pulled from the shelves immediately. This email hoax is still popping up in inboxes and striking fear in women. It is a hoax and there is no brand of lipstick that can cause cancer. Read more about lipstick and cancer...
3) Myth: Wearing Deodorant Can Cause Breast Cancer.
Truth:There is so significant data that shows that wearing deodorant causes cancer, yet people are still buying into it. The suggestion is that a chemical is absorbed through the skin through a shaving nick or cut, and causes breast cancer. Again, there has been no significant study to support this claim.
4) Myth: Piercing Your Nipples May Causes Breast Cancer in Men and Women
Truth: An injury to the breast or nipple cannot lead to cancer development. The only real medical risk factor for piercing the nipple is infection. Read more about pierced nipple and cancer...
5) Myth: Men Don't Get Breast Cancer.
Truth: Just ask Richard Rountree, the star of Shaft if men get breast cancer. Male breast cancer may be less common than breast cancer in females, but it does happen.
6) Myth: There is a Cure for Cancer, but Drug Companies Wouldn't Make Money.
Truth: If this was true, how come the family members of these drug company employees are still suffering from cancer? The likelihood of there being a general cure for all cancers is not realistic because they are caused by different factors. It is estimated that almost 30% of Americans believe this myth.
7) Myth: Forwarding Emails to Friends Will Donate Money to Cancer Charities.
Truth: Aol, The American Cancer Society, or any other major corporation does not rely on the use of email forwarding to make charitable contributions. The email sent usually contains the story of a child with cancer, perhaps with a photo, claiming that for every person your forward the email to the child will receive $.03 for treatment costs. Don't waste your time forwarding, folks. This is a cancer hoax and myth.

The concept of acid alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease is not new. In 1933 a New York doctor named William Howard Hay published a ground-breaking book, A New Health Era in which he maintains that all disease is caused by autotoxication (or "self-poisoning") due to acid accumulation in the body:
Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalies to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount... It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so.
William Howard Hay, M.D.....Learn More!
Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition.....Learn More!
Why Drink Oxygenated Water?
The dissolved oxygen in the water is absorbed through our digestive system and provides :
- Extra supply of oxygen to the body for over-all health improvement
- Enhancement of the brain function for clearer thinking and alertness
- More oxygen to the muscle to increase energy and performance
- More oxygen to skin cells for healthier, younger looking skin
- Enhanced metabolism and waste removal
- Enhancement of the body's ability to fight bacteria and viruses
- Better absorption of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.....Learn More!

Silver has traditionally been used as a natural alternative to antibiotics. Unlike antibiotics that indiscriminately kill all bacteria, silver is selective. It destroys only the anaerobic bacteria while leaving the aerobic bacteria unharmed. Typically the anaerobic (nitrogen breathing) bacteria are the ones that make us sick. Aerobic (oxygen breathing) bacteria are usually the good guys like the acidophilus that we need in our intestines to help our digestive system function properly.....Learn More!
The nature of minerals in their most elemental state is that of single atoms. Only in this state can they carry an electrical charge, positive or negative. The body can only take up these elements if they carry an electrical charge. When minerals do not have an electrical charge they are locked-up and unusable. Minerals in complex and colloidal forms are not cell ready as they are not able to be carried through the cell. We are so excited to introduce our line of Angstrom Minerals formulated by Dr. Annette Hasalone-Eve, N.D. Our Angstrom Mineral line's proprietary manufacturing process duplicates that of nature and provides minerals in a delivery system in accordance with nature's design. Our minerals are Cell Ready, Ionic, and Water-Soluble. Starting off with pure, clean water that has been through reverse osmosis filtration and ozone infusion to eliminate all minerals and pathogens from the water, Angstrom Minerals are created using the highest food and technical grades of minerals. The minerals contained in the raw materials are 99.9% pure. The science behind the Angstrom Minerals technology is Dr. Annette Hasalone-Eve’s proprietary technique for maximum nutrient availability to the body.....Order Now!
