Know Breast Cancer

"The primary focus of the breast cancer movement has been on detection and not
prevention. Know Breast Cancer was founded to educate women about real
breast cancer prevention," explains Susan Wadia-Ells Ph.D., founding director.

Know Breast Cancer's 7 Easy Ways campaign is focused on helping women
significantly lower their risk of developing breast cancer… ever or never
again. Taking lots of Vitamin D3, and avoiding birth control pills once you
reach 40, are two of the campaign's 7 Easy Ways.

The group hopes to fill the gap in providing prevention information. Since
detecting and treating breast cancer is a multi billion dollar business,
medical centers, drug companies and breast health clinics offer detection and
treatment, doing little to actually limit the number of women who develop a
first diagnosis. Self help, the key to stopping breast cancer before it
starts, is Know Breast Cancer's proactive message.

To help women enjoy a prevention lifestyle, Know Breast Cancer translates
scientific research into every day language. The organization provides
valuable information through its website at www.knowbreastcancer.net and
blog at www.thetruthaboutbreastcancer.com. Know Breast Cancer also does
workshops, talks and media appearances throughout North America.

Know Breast Cancer recently received its non profit 501 c3 status; it was
formerly a donor fund with the Essex County Community Foundation.
