I agree.

Re: bras & breast cancer, I'll just point out:

Women who reported wearing bras " less than 12 hrs/day "

had less than a 1% incidence of breast cancer, which is 1/20 the rate of

women who reported wearing bras " more than 12 hrs/day " .

My inference is that wearing one up to about 10 hrs/day doesn't cause

breast cancer. And each awake hour that a woman goes bra-less seems to

dramatically reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Rebounding is an excellent exercise to do for 20 minutes or more a day

to cleanse the entire lymphatic system. But I don't know if a good

sports bra allows good circulation of the lymphatic system to the

breasts...?

Anyone know? I would think that especially for a large-breasted woman,

any bra that would give significant support would also significantly

restrict lymphatic flow.

I am asking for my wife.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Elliot,

I have to strap myself down pretty good in order to rebound or else the

pain is excrutiating. However, I generally do that by just using my

arms folded across my chest.

External vibratory energy can be applied to the body to pump the

lymphatics. The CHIamp program by Ken Uzzell from Australia was

designed to apply these energies by attaching a tactile transducer or

underwater loudspeaker to an audio amplifier and then run the CHIamp

program from a PC. Ideally the tactile transducers can be attached to

the external surface of a hot tub. The transducers or underwater

loudspeakers can also be submerged into a bath tub if that is your

best available source for bathing water but care must be taken to

prevent electrical shock. Radio Shack makes a nice 20 watt PA

Amplifier that runs on 12 volts. A rechargeable lead-acid battery of

sufficient capacity would do the job nicely and avoid the potential

danger from electrocution. Although most amplifiers are transformer

coupled, one must be knowledgeable so as to avoid accidents. It would

be best to use only a battery powered set up.

The CHIamp program demo can be downloaded free here:

The pad type transducers can also be used but the action isn't nearly

as good as would be from being submerged in a tank of water.

Using this method, one can gain most of the benefits of physical

excercise without the hastle of effort. One should also sit in a FAR

infrared tent or enclosure so as to excercise the heart and increase

circulatory flow as the FAR infrared energy will dialate the lymph

vessels.

What on earth is rebounding? Anyone have a link.

The bra v. no bra thing is deeply personal and has more to do with breast size

and time of

the month than anything, I suspect.

So, on the rebounding thing? What is it? Where do I learn...???

Marti,

Mini-trampolines. But a good rebounder allows you to jump much longer

than a stiff mini-tramp will.

I do not think that is a good idea. Human beings, like other creatures,

even plants, were made to move about. In my opinion, and from what I

have read, there is no such thing as replacing activity with

passivity. " The hassle of effort " is, unfortunately, the price we

humans must pay to get and to remain healthy. Rebounding is not a

hassle. It is very enjoyable. It need not be terribly vigorous. To get

and to remain truly healthy and fit, we also need to do some light

weight training several times a week.

Best wishes and best of health,

Elliot -

Typically women wear snug-fitting sports bras to hold the breasts

close to the chest wall so they don't move. I have found " softer " more

flexible sports bras in Target - Champion makes them. I buy mine a

size or so larger so they let the lymphatics breathe. Even if one buys

the " right " size you have to be careful of where the straps toward the

neck are - if these are too tight they plug up the cervical nodes and

the flow can't get below. Thus getting a larger size. For me even a

bigger size is still good support. I make an X with my arms across my

chest when rebounding.

The concern with breast lymphatics is not just in the upper part of

the breast toward the axillaries. Women should NOT be wearing

underwire bras, for a number of reasons, one of which is the lymph

below the breast get congested also and get backed up.

I had a massage therapist work with me to get the lymph soft and

flowing again. There are a number of breast lymph techniques that one

can do on their own, or have someone (therapist or significant other)

assist with this. It can be painful at first, once they are opened up

it's no longer painful.

Another good thing everyone can do is bounce on those large exercise

balls. These work the abdominal muscles and also work lymphatics too.

These are great for those who don't have good balance or who may have

to sit and exercise.

There are also great herbal teas to help with lymph and blood cleansing.

I agree with you 100% however, there are those who just won't

exercise or can't due to arthritis, injury,. etc. The wave action of

the water set to specific frequencies establishes standing waves

within the body tissue and will cause the lymphatics to surge in step

with the low frequency waves. The valves in the lymph vessels will

open and close, thus performing their required pumping action.

Although I have no evidence to support my own theory as to what

happens here using these energy waves, I suspect that the electronic

method will move more lymph and will do so in every vessel in the

body regardless of location. The strain on women who are

exceptionally gifted in the mamarial glands should find this method

superior to physical exercise as the muscles are not stretched and

therefor there is no generation of painful lactic acid.
