Herb May Cut Breast Cancer Risk

A new study reveals evidence that the herb, Black Cohosh, used to help women deal with menopausal symptoms, might reduce breast cancer risk.  It's  in  an article from Reuters, April 26, 2007. 

Whoa, before women get too optimistic.  Those of us  in the pre-menopausal through post menopausal years are always hoping either to cut down on the discomfort of symtoms from a lack of estrogen or as a prevention for breast cancer,  sometimes from too much estrogen

These new studies can get your hopes up,  meanwhile much evidence still looms about the negative side effects.  Let's do more research before we run out and stock up on this herb.  To find out more about Black Cohosh, and its safety, either for menopausal symtoms or the prevention of breast cancer, read more here.

More on Black Cohosh and how it may affect the liver.

What is The Passion Test?

Become a Passion Test facilitator with Janet and Chris Attwood. Ask Janet or Chris how to live your passions or read the book and take the Passion Test yourself. Even if you believe you are following your passions, read what Jack Canfield said after he took The Passion Test:

"The Passion Test has given me incredible insight into what was missing in my life, where I was not 100% spot on in pursuing my passions. It's simple, it's easy, and it's profound. Out of it came the creation of an organization I'd been putting off for six years and a fuller expression of my love and my commitment to my family. I think there's nothing more important than that." - Jack Canfield, co-creator, #1 NY Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series
