Suzanne Somers “TODAY” Video (”Breakthrough: Eight Steps To Wellness”)
Actress and health advocate Suzanne Somers talked about her new book Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness with TODAY on September 10.
Recognizing that many of us feel we have hit the wall with conventional medicine, anti-aging is the likely outcropping to move medicine forward. At present its numbers are small but growing steadily. Breakthrough medicine treats people and patients like individuals who have their own special needs. It brilliantly brings together the personal one-on-one commitment we got from the medical community decades ago coupled with the cutting-edge technology of today.

Susan Sommers fails to include an accurate discussion about the dangers of estrogen and progesterone replacement for many women!!!! BREAST CANCER CAN have ESTROGEN or PROGESTERONE POSITIVE RECEPTORS and taking these hormones can increase the risk of breast cancer in many women.
SHE IS IRRESPONSIBLE not to explain this clearly in her book! Ask anyone you know who has gone through treatment, with hormone positive receptors!
“Hormone receptors are like ears or antennae on a cell. Estrogen sends signals through the receptors that tell breast cancer cells to grow. Cells with estrogen receptors grow and multiply when estrogen attaches to the receptors.”
“Many breast cancers are hormone-dependent—which means that estrogen and progesterone stimulate their growth by “turning on” hormone receptors in the cancer cells. Without these hormones, the cancer cells are not stimulated to grow. They wither, and eventually they may die.”
“Estrogen and progesterone play roles in the development of certain breast cancers: Estrogen is a very important “key” for the estrogen-receptor (ER) sites throughout the body AND on some breast cancer cells
Progesterone receptors (PR) can also be involved in turning on

I am happy to see continued support for Bioidentical hormones, and for that matter compounded medication tailored for the individuals specific needs by a compounding pharmacy. Thyroid would be an example of a significantly under diagnosed problem in women and men that can be resolved by compounded thyroid. Suzanne has talked about this.
. In this country we are blinded by pharmaceutical companies who basically are the MD’s drug educator making them the distributor/salesman of their products. I find it appalling that pharmaceutical drugs are advertised on the TV (and often about men’s sexual issues during prime time TV). Everybody thinks they need a drug to be ‘fixed’….brainwashing, it’s a shame.
In the rest of the world there are many effective, safe,natural treatments that have evolved over many more years than the age of this country.
If you look at the beauty and skin industry (again often pharmaceutical) it’s big business and big dollars.
As an RN, it is important that people know for example, there are non-pharmaceutical options to produce amazing results in STOPPING the aging process your skin will go through in a safe, clinically tested way. New discoveries are just becoming available to improve our skin & health before we are sick/damaged.
That is Suzanne Somers message. The comment about breast Ca is for someone diagnosed and in treatment, not from a prevention standpoint. Two different conversations. One illness based, Suzanne’s, health based as we age.
As a health consultant, it is tragic that we think we are ‘healthy’ because we’re ‘not sick/symptomatic’ and invest little in our health until we are sick.
The truth is Cancer and Heart disease (statistically our primary killers)are happening but you don’t feel it till your seriously sick and trying to get your health back…and paying for it.
ANTIOXIDANTS were talked about. The fundamental protectors of our body and health from our diets. This country is in seriously poor health. I scan antioxidant levels in skin in 90 seconds accurately, painlessly and inexpensively with technology deemed the gold standard measurement. Most people don’t know about this as it is not controlled by pharmacutical Co’s or advertised. This is the same with the bioidentical hormones Suzanne talks about.
Time to speak up, the general public can benefit from Suzanne’s information and ask questions. Your health is your quality of life……that’s what I think and know.
