Blanche Breast Prevention Protocol

​

Dr. Blanche spent three years pursuing her PhD degree.  The focus of her research was to demonstrate how women can use digital infrared imaging to identify risks and prove the "Breast prevention protocol", Dr. Blanche developed over her 18 years of clinical Integrative practice would show improvement in breast health in hopes of reducing risk for breast cancer.

I have spent sixteen years in the field of integrative medicine, caring for women diagnosed and on the journey with breast cancer. These women, my patients, have been valuable teachers. My work and effort helping these women survive breast cancer is where I constructed the prevention protocol used for the research described and explained in this paper. Cancer can “strike” at any moment and does not discriminate among women in our society or around the world. Nations spend billions of dollars every year preparing for the possibility of an attack, preparing for the worst, concluding that the best offense is a good defense, always be ready, as the Marines say. Our health prevention plan should be no different. Our defense – our immune system – is the best offense against cancer. A prevention plan that includes a strong immune system will not only prevent cancer from attacking the body but will prepare women who get cancer for the battle they will face. On Long Island, New York, where I grew up breast cancer is a crisis. A result, in my view, of a combination of stress, toxicity in the air, water, and ground, and the high density of people resulting in lots of power lines, pollution, and chemicals.  The protocol discussed within this paper has been developed over the course of nearly two decades of research determining various risk factors associated with breast cancer that could be modified with treatment – and by treatment, I mean by adjusting a woman’s diet, adding nutrients, and changing her lifestyle by adding exercise and reducing stress. I researched which of these adjustments positively affected late-stage breast cancer patients. This work is the foundation for the creation of the Blanche Breast Prevention Protocol.  “Avoiding the perfect storm” of cancer can be accomplished by changing the playing field in a woman’s body. By modifying the variables that lead to cancer development, we can decrease the chances that a woman gets cancer and increase the chances that a woman who gets cancer can beat it. There are many variables, or factors, that can be modified in a way that decreases the chances of cancer attacking. These factors include, inter alia, inflammation, toxicity, cytokine release, nutrient deficiency, stress response, and estrogen dominance. It may seem obvious, but each or these risk factors are identifiable and modifiable in a positive way. Humans are intrinsically different, and in some cases a woman has a genetic predisposition, creating a situation where the “genes load the gun” and the “environment pulls the trigger.” But even a genetic predisposition or mutation the outcome can potentially be modified through nutrition, essentially feeding our genes to modify the potential risks for disease origination.  When your family member, friend, or loved one announces she has been diagnosed with cancer, what does that mean? What happened in her life and in her body that led to the poison that is cancer infecting her body? I imagine a series of dominoes falling, or a train on the Long Island Railroad barreling through stop after stop towards the end of the line. I use scientific evidence to identify patterns within women to minimize the risk. I want to find a way to move two or three dominoes to stop them from falling; I want to stop the train before it reaches the end of the line. My mission is to empower women to make decisions that will alter their stars.
