Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Test

YES OR NO Do you have a family history of Breast Cancer? (Grandmother, Mother, Sister, Aunts)

YES OR NO Do you not have regular bowel movements? Meaning you go less than once daily?

YES OR NO Do you or have you used oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy?

YES OR NO Do you have a history of any cyclical issues such as: cyclical breast tenderness, endometriosis, uterine Fibroids, Fibrocystic Breast, PMS / PMDD or have you been diagnosed or told that you were “estrogen dominant”?

YES OR NO Are you diabetic, pre- diabetic, or do you have blood sugar control issues?

YES OR NO Do you regularly consume non-organic dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc) or non-organic meat or chicken?

YES OR NO Is your body fat over 30%?

YES OR NO Have you had your 2/16 estrogen-ratio evaluated?

If you answered mostly “yes” to the above referenced questions, then your risk for developing an estrogen-sensitive cancer, like breast cancer, is much greater than someone who answers mostly “no.”

For at risk patients, the Robert Fishman Institute recommends the following protocol:

1. Have your health care provider give you an estrogen-ratio evaluation screening. We recommend the Estronex test.
2. Visit a Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) specialist. This individual will be able to administer comprehensive testing to evaluate your hormone levels and will then begin balancing your body’s cycle using all natural compounds from plant extracts.
3. Start consuming high amounts of cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy (1)
4. Not a vegetable fan? Then you should look for supplements containing both Indole-3-Carbinole (I3C) and Di-Indole-Methane (DIM). We recommend Cruciferus Complete by Standard Process or Meta I3C by Metagenics
5. Increase your body’s alkaline PH level by eating alkaline foods (2), drinking certified alkaline water (3), and/or using supplements that increase alkalinity.
