Arriving in the Bahamas

Four Generations
Elizabeth, Elsie, Lisa & Jennifer
Two have died of Breast Cancer
I am going to stop that trend
In 1977 at the age of 44, my mother, Elsie Bergman, was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a radical mastectomy. In her words, "I no longer have one of my breasts, but more importantly, I no longer have breast cancer." She decided it was time to really start living her life to the fullest.

She always wanted to be a scuba diver, so in 1978 she and I took scuba lessons and became certified. Scuba diving became her passion; she worked for and received her scuba instructor's license and started sharing it with others by teaching.

My mother and I were able to share hundreds of dives in the Bahamas, until she passed away in 2000. I was in awe to see how her spirit came alive. Being underwater, weightless and surrounded by beautiful fish and colorful coral, she felt happy, peaceful and grateful to be alive. Cancer was no longer a fear to be controlled by, but a freedom and insight that life was truly a gift meant to be shared. Today I am carrying on my mother's passion to bring this joy to other breast cancer survivors, by introducing them to the adventure and peace of scuba diving.

I Wish I Knew Then
I look back at my mother’s and Grandmother's life whom both died of breast cancer, and I see the pattern and effects of estrogen dominance. My mother had breast and ovarian cancer, she was genetically tested and no genetic mutations were found.

When I started my nutrition program with Dr. Biamonte my tests and my health showed I had many of the underlying factors of breast cancer. I have been working with doctors and nutritionists to help me prevent it. I was estrogen dominant, and several of my other hormone levels were out of balance. I had toxic levels of copper, I also had candida, which many of us have but not many of us know anything about. Click here to find out more about Wellness Testing

I have been using a natural progesterone cream, supplements and trying to eliminate many chemical toxins from my life. I can see and feel my hormone levels balance out. I also feel a big difference in my breast tissue. With this information, I am taking better care of myself, and my loved ones. I want to be here and healthy for my daughter and my future granddaughter.

I know this information may seem “holistic or natural” and many will blow it off and not pay attention. I’m not saying don’t pay attention to traditional medicine, I’m saying take a proactive role in your own health (preventive health) It’s so important! Don’t wait for symptoms, or a doctor to tell you you’re sick or worse...“You have Cancer”. Take a simple saliva test at home and get an insight as to what’s going on in your own bodies. Hormone levels are what runs a women’s’ life (unfortunately sometimes).

I am working hard to bring attention, awareness, and education about the prevention of breast cancer to others. Please join me in the fight to prevent breast cancer.

Few forces on this planet are more powerful than a grassroots movement of caring people reaching out to help others. If you are interested in preventing breast cancer in your own life or a loved one, please join me in the fight.
