Estrogen dominance is a disorder sold to us by the medical community which we swallowed daily. The medical community has always known that estrogen increases breast cancer. It is time to awaken from this nightmare and realize we had the power all along. We have a generation to save…our daughters.
Hey troops! I stumbled across this book the week we were going to print our book, “Breast Cancer Boot Camp-Dr. Hobbins’s Breast Thermography Revolution” I called my publisher and sweet talked this incredible history of estrogen into chapter 7 "Breast Canswerers to Estrogen Lies."
It is time to rethink estrogen. It does not keep you young, it is a killer.

Estrogen is a disease sold to you by the medical community which we swallowed daily. The medical community has always known that estrogen increases breast cancer. Now, they want to repeat this deadly process with our generation in the new repackaged, relabeled, renamed, “natural” forms of estrogen – flax, soy and bio-identical estrogen. Guess what? It is still the same ole’ estrogen, just in a plant form. If these plant estrogens are healthy, why aren’t breast cancer numbers decreasing?!
It is time to stop following the yellow brick road and listen to Glinda The Good Witch, "You had the power all along” – be estrogen free™. We have a generation to save…our daughters. www.estrogen-free.com
