Hello! I was going to do part 2 of parental controls
using my notebook with Windows XP. Well
found the power cord finally (didn't realize how long it has been since I used
it). So updating the programs and
defragmenting, so I am sorry but will be writing part 2 tomorrow. Also just a
note about password; if you even think they might know your password, change
it. You can also check your own history
to see if they were on there. Plus I did notice that some of the parental
control programs offer cell phone protection too, so if your child has a cell
phone(or your planning to get them one) check to see if the carrier offers
parental controls and if they work with others you can add for more protection.
I
did find something good to write about for tonight though. :)
A
little while ago, October 22, 2012, I wrote a post called “Bra or not to Bra?Yes I said Bra!” A friend of mine found
an article about women who were overweight had higher chances of breast cancer. And of course these women would where bras
more.
So
I decided to do a little surfing and found some articles on the bra issue.
Surprise
for me found one link led me to an article that said:
Antiperspirants? Wow that was new to me! LOL! Now when I first read the article and decided
to put it on my blog it was because I found it interesting, and still do. Look what I am learning!
Now
from what I have read all more or less agree that bras aren't the cause of
cancer. Well I think we knew that. The
idea that bras my cut off lymphatic drainage(which I can gather this body fluid
actually travels up and out of the armpits, guess that is where the deodorant
comes in), seems to be intriguing but from what I could gather that problem can
be solved with a proper fitting bra.
I
did find one site that didn't deny or confirm anything and I will put the link
here because it is also interesting and touches on a few different myths. It is:
Factors That Do Not Increase Risk.
I
like this one from The New York Times, Science, Published: February 15,
2010: In his answer he said: “...and
colleagues compared National Cancer Institute data on breast cancer risk for
women treated for melanoma who had several underarm lymph nodes removed and
those who did not. The surgery, which is known to block lymph drainage from
breast tissue, did not detectably increase breast cancer rates, the study
found, meaning that it is extremely unlikely that wearing a bra, which affects
lymph flow minimally if at all, would do so.”
This
one makes a good point too. I refers to
the 1960’s when many women where going braless.
It is from ABC News on September 21, 2007:
Question:
Do underwire bras increase my risk for breast cancer?
Answer:
I do not believe that underwire bras increase the risk of breast cancer. There
are many studies that are reported that try to associate things that we have in
our lifestyle -- our habits -- that might influence cancer risk. But one has to
remember that we all have very complex lifestyles in western society and to
sort out one item or another, such as an underwire bra, would be a terribly
difficult task to associate, and especially since most people would expect that
it would have to be use over a long period of time, not a short period of time,
that would be correlated. So, consequently, you might expect that breast cancer
risk would have gone down in the 1960s when braless-ness was in fact in vogue,
and in fact that's not what we saw in the statistics. So it's hard to associate
many of these lifestyle factors with cancer risk per se, although lifestyle
factors are one of the things that we can modify personally.
I
will just show you a few paragraphs, you really should read it. It seems to cover all the views with a few
extras to boot. Including the underwire
itself, I could not find anything about the wire in any of the other articles,
even though they all made a reference to it.
e.g.
Over
85 percent of the lymph fluid flowing from the breast drains to the armpit
lymph nodes. Most of the rest drains to the nodes along the breast bone. Bras
and other external tight clothing can impede flow.
The
nature of the bra, the tightness, and the length of time worn, will all
influence the degree of blockage of lymphatic drainage. Thus, wearing a bra
might contribute to the development of breast cancer as a result of cutting off
lymphatic drainage, so that toxic chemicals are trapped in the breast."
And
this: As described by John D. Andre, D.C., N.D.[4], below your breasts are two
important neuro-lymphatic reflex points.
The one below your right breast corresponds to your liver and
gallbladder. The one below your left breast goes to your stomach.
If
a woman keeps the metal underwires on top of those reflex points, over time
that WILL mess up the functioning of the associated circuits: Liver,
gallbladder, and stomach.
So
I learned something new today. I like
learning. Hope you do too. Even if you don’t read any of the other
articles please read the last one, By Dr. Mercola. I would have put it on here
but that would have made this post twice as long.
Thanks
for dropping by! See you soon,
