Best therapy for breast cancer
Subject: Best therapy for breast cancer

Selenium + vitamin E can prevent & cure both breast cancer & prostate cancer!  (Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium, & sunflower seeds are an awesome source of natural vitamin E!)


And YES, of course the drug companies know about it, but broadcasting this information to the public would stop the flow of nearly $$ 1/2 million per cancer patient!  Not to mention all the multiplied millions in donations to the ACS for the so-called "Race for a Cure," which is a lying farce.  All that money guarantees that they will never want to be put out of business.
