Loree Taylor Jordan, CCH, ID, a holistic healing expert and certified colon hydrotherapist, knows all too well how cancer can kill. She lost her mom to breast cancer at age 39, and her dad to colon cancer at age 70.

"My vested interest in the subject of cancer, both professionally and personally, has led me to some very controversial and useful information," says Jordan. Her research led her to publish Detox For Life, seeking to educate the public on disease prevention and maximum health.

Jordan points out the food and water supply is tainted with cancer-causing carcinogens but also notes what to look out for. Further, she encourages early and regular breast cancer detection testing that goes beyond a mammography. "When you take your health into your own hands—with diet, testing, and education—you greatly increase your survival against disease," says Jordan.

She highly recommends women undergo infrared thermography scanning, which involves heat imaging. "Detecting cancer in its earliest stages is imperative to increasing chances of survival for your self and your loved ones," says Jordan.

She recommends women be aware of the following to minimize the risk of getting breast cancer and maximize detection:

1.Have a mammography and a thermography done. One test doesn't replace the other. Together, a 61% increase in your survival rate is realized.
2.Conduct self-breast exams regularly.
3.If you have a family history of breast cancer, know that you're at greater risk but also be aware that 75% of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease.
4.The greatest single risk for breast cancer is lifetime exposure of the breasts to estrogen. Breast thermography plays a significant role in prevention by warning women if they have estrogen dominant activation of their breasts.

A third of all breast cancer cases occur in women under age 45. It's the most common cancer in women of that age group. Therefore, baseline screening should begin by age 20.

One in three Americans suffer from some form of cancer—which is up from 1 in 4 in 1950. Jordan believes you must do the following to prevent the onset of cancer:

1.Reduce your exposure to carcinogenic substances—it's in your dairy, meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and water.
2.Use colon hydrotherapy to strengthen your immune system, cleanse the body of toxins, and help the body function more easily.
3.Become a label sleuth and carefully examine which chemicals and additives are in your foods. Food and beverages may be contaminated with a variety of chemicals that have been intentionally or unintentionally added during their production, handling, storage, and processing. Many, if not all, of these chemicals have carcinogenic, neurotoxin, reproductive, or immunotoxic effects. These chemicals are a threat to your health, and to your children's health.

"Certainly the environment, airborne toxins, or your workplace can contribute to causing cancer," notes Jordan. "But you can control a lot of your health's destiny simply by eliminating your exposure to harmful foods and being vigilant in taking a multitude of diagnostic tests early and often."
