Carlton Fredericks' book calls for nutritional revolution to combat breast cancer
- Dr. Carlton Fredericks argues that true breast cancer prevention lies in addressing root causes through diet, rather than relying solely on reactive measures like mammograms.
- Proper estrogen metabolism (converting it to less harmful estriol) depends on liver function, which is heavily influenced by nutrient-rich foods. Deficiencies can increase cancer risk.
- The book highlights the importance of Vitamin B Complex, protein, selenium, iodine and antioxidants (like Vitamin E) for liver support and estrogen regulation, while condemning excess sugar as harmful.
- Fredericks cites studies and patient experiences showing reduced cancer risk and improved outcomes (e.g., fewer fibroids, cystic mastitis) with targeted dietary changes and supplements (e.g., desiccated liver, brewer's yeast).
- Nutritional intervention requires sustained effort but offers cumulative benefits for cancer prevention and overall health, empowering women to take proactive control of their well-being.
In a world where breast cancer continues to affect millions of women, a new book is challenging conventional wisdom and offering a radical new perspective on prevention. "
Breast Cancer: A Nutritional Approach" by Carlton Fredericks is not just a book; it's a manifesto that calls for a paradigm shift in how we approach cancer prevention. Fredericks, a respected voice in the field of nutrition and health, argues that the medical community has been overlooking a crucial factor in the fight against breast cancer: nutrition.
When people talk about cancer prevention, the focus is often on early detection methods like mammograms and self-examinations. While these tools are vital, Fredericks contends that they are not true prevention. Instead, they are reactive measures that come into play after cancer has already developed. True prevention, he argues, lies in addressing the root causes of the disease, and he believes that nutrition is a key component that has been largely ignored.
Fredericks' frustration is palpable as he recounts the stories of women in his life who have benefited from a nutritional approach to preventing certain types of cancer. He believes this knowledge should be accessible to all, not just a privileged few. (Related:

At the heart of Fredericks' argument is the idea that diet plays a crucial role in the
development of breast and uterine cancer. He explains that estrogen, a hormone naturally produced by the body, can become a carcinogen if not properly metabolized. The liver is responsible for breaking down estrogen into a less harmful form called estriol, but its ability to do this effectively is heavily dependent on our diet.
A diet rich in the right nutrients can support liver function and enhance the conversion of estrogen to estriol. Conversely, a poor diet can impair this process, leading to higher levels of estrogen in the body and, consequently, a higher risk of cancer. Fredericks emphasizes that this is not just theoretical; it's backed by decades of research and observations.
Fredericks cites numerous studies and examples to support his claims. For instance, he mentions a study that showed a significant decrease in breast cancer rates among women who consumed a diet high in nutrients that support liver function. He also discusses the experiences of women who have successfully managed or even eliminated symptoms like cystic mastitis and uterine fibroids through dietary changes.
The book highlights the importance of the Vitamin B Complex, protein, selenium and iodine, explaining that these
nutrients are crucial for liver function and the metabolism of estrogen. Fredericks also emphasizes the role of antioxidants like Vitamin E and selenium in protecting the body from the harmful effects of free radicals and other carcinogens.
But it's not just about what you should eat; it's also about what you should avoid. Fredericks is particularly critical of sugar, which he believes is a major culprit in disrupting liver function and contributing to hormonal imbalances. He argues that the American diet is overloaded with sugar, often in hidden forms, and that this is a significant factor in the high rates of estrogen-dependent cancers.
Fredericks advocates for the use of supplements to ensure that women are getting the nutrients they need. He acknowledges that it can be challenging to get everything from food alone, especially given the realities of modern food production and dietary habits. He recommends specific supplements, including desiccated liver and brewer's yeast, which are rich in the nutrients that support liver function and estrogen metabolism.
One of the key takeaways from Fredericks' book is that nutrition is not a quick fix. It requires a lifelong commitment to healthy eating habits and a willingness to make informed choices. He emphasizes that the benefits of good nutrition are cumulative and that it takes time to see the full effects. But he also assures us that the effort is worth it, not just for cancer prevention but for overall health and well-being.
Fredericks' message to women is clear: You have the power to take control of your health. By understanding the relationship between nutrition and estrogen, you can make dietary choices that
support your body's natural defenses against cancer. He encourages women to be proactive, to educate themselves, and to advocate for their own health.
"Breast Cancer: A Nutritional Approach" is a powerful reminder that people have more control over their health than they might think. It's a call to rethink the approach to cancer prevention and to embrace the potential of nutrition as a tool for empowerment. As people navigate the complexities of modern health, this book serves as a beacon of hope and a guide for those seeking to take charge of their well-being.
