Hi All,
Pls read this... I received it from my friend.
Please pass this to all...
ONE WOMAN'S STORY ON SOYA .
PLEASE pass this info to ALL your female
friends... It
may save their lives!........Something to take note
of.
This is my true story, nothing altered. These are
facts, as they
relate to my experience, my opinions based on what I
have read
and felt. I am relating them to warn other young
health-conscious
women who are unwittingly harming themselves.
In 1989, I graduated from high school in Texas and
couldn't wait
to hit the big college city. One of the changes I
wanted to make was
to eat healthier.
Once I moved to health-conscious Austin, Texas, I
began to
fortify my body with the best and healthiest foods I
could find.
Tofu was the main ingredient in every healthy dish
and I bought soya
milk almost every day used it for everything from
cereal to
smoothies or just to drink for a quick snack. I
bought soya muffins,
miso soup wth tofu, soyabeans, soyabean sprouts, etc.
All the
literature in all the health and fitness magazines
said that soya
protected you against everything from heart disease
to
breast cancer. It was the magical isoflavones, the
estrogen-like
hormones that all worked to help you stay young and
healthy. I
looked great, I was working out all the time, but my
menstrual cycle
was off. At 20, I started taking birth control pills
to regulate my
menstrual cycle.
In addition to this I began to suffer from painful
periods. I began to get puffy, it was as though I was
losing my
muscle tone. I began to suffer from depression and
getting hot
flashes. I mistook all this for PMS since my periods
were irregular.
By the time I was 25, my periods were so bad I
couldn't walk.
The birth control pills never made them regular or
less painful so I
eecided to stop taking them.
I went on like this for another two years until I
realized my
pain wasn't normal. At 27, my gynecologist found two
cysts in my
uterus. Both were the size of tennis balls. I went
through surgery
to have them removed and thank God they were benign.
The
gynecologist told me to go back on birth control
pills. I didn't. In
1998, he discovered a lump in my breast. Again, I
went through
surgery and again it was benign.
In November 2000 my glands swelled up and my gums
became
inflamed.
Thinking I had a tooth infection i went to the
dentist who told
me that teeth were not the problem. After a dose of
antibiotics the
swelling still did not go down. At this point I could
feel a tiny
nodule on the right side of my neck. I told my mother
I had thyroid
trouble. She think I was being silly. No one in the
family suffered
from thyroid trouble. Going on a hunch I saw a
specialist who
diagnosed me with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
After a series of
tests he told me it was cancer. My fiance and I sat
stunned. We were
not prepared and I was so scared.
We scheduled surgery right away. The specialist told
us that it
would only be after the operation that a pathologist
would be able
to tell us for sure if it was cancer. They found a
tumor at my right
lobe composed of irregular cells and another smaller
tumor growing
on the left, so the entire thyroid was removed.
They told me that after undergoing radioactive
iodine I would be
safe and assured me that I could live a long life.
After treatment I
began to search for the cause of all these problems.
I never once
thought it could be all the soya I had consumed for
nearly ten
years. After all, soya is healthy.
I came upon a web page that linked thyroid problems
to soya
intake and the conspiracy of soya marketed as a
health food when in
fact it
is only a toxic by-product of the vegetable oil
industry. This was
insane, afterall, the health and fitness magazines
had said nothing
about
soya being harmful.
I visited a herbalist who was diagnosed with thyroid
cancer in
1985. She informed me that soya was the culprit. She
had a
hysterectomy due to cysts and other uterine problems.
A few months
later another acquaintance who had consumed soya came
down with
thyroid cancer. A girl in England I met through the
internet in a
thyroid cancer forum had just undergone surgery and
she was only 19.
What was going on????
Breast cancer is linked to estrogen. What mimics
estrogen in the
female body, SOYA!
But I never suspected soya because until now I never
once found a
single article that stated soya could be dangerous.
Women who took
soya prior to thyroid problems will continue to take
it after if
they are not aware of what soya actually does, what
it contains and
how it reacts in the female body. I think this is the
reason that
women with thyroid cancer often develop breast cancer
later.
My co-worker is big into soya and I see her losing
hair and
gaining weight despite a walking workout during her
break and after
work,
and apples and oranges for lunch. She just had cysts
removed from
her uterus too.
I warned her to stay off soya. I refered her to
websites but
until it is on the evening news on all four networks,
women will
suffer. Since the thyroidectomy. I do not touch soya,
haven't for
two years.
Dear readers, please use my story in any way you can.
There are so many
young girls who are consuming soya because they think
they
are taking care of themselves, and women taking soya
because they
want to be healthy.
It is so unfair that the information about the
dangers of soya isn't
more widely circulated. It is sad. There are many out
there who feel
this way and it is a terrible blow when you realize
you are not as
healthy as you thought and that the information that
you depended on
was wrong.

PS: As a trainer in Communication Skills, I take this liberty of telling you, the word, 'Cheers', at the end of your mail was incongruous with the content of the mail. I do understand that this must have come mechanically, out of habit. Please take care...and of course, no offence meant!
