Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / January 20074th annual: Are shoes the cause of breast cancer?
TO: All breast cancer researchers, doctors, and patients. The purpose of this yearly post is to stimulate interest and discussion about the biomechanical effects of shoes on "age-related" degenerative diseases, such as breast cancer. Chiropodist Dr. Simon J. Wikler pioneered efforts to understand the influences of shoes in the 1950's, but his work was neglected during the subsequent drug- and diet-based approaches to medicine. However, the prolific footwear historian and podiatrist Dr. William A. Rossi clearly demonstrated throughout his publications that shoes influence the posture of the human body. Therefore, using the posture-based approaches to medicine of the distinguished orthopedist Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait, I have expanded Dr. Wikler's insightful work to include a variety of illnesses and conditions whose causes remain unknown. Breast cancer is just one example of diseases that are related to the use of footwear. Dr. Wikler observed that rounding of the shoulders in humans puts tissue at a mechanical disadvantage. He explains, "The breast is slung between strong fibrous bands (fascia) that arise from the breast and collarbones. As long as the shoulders are thrust back and the chest held erect, breasts can become very heavy and sag considerably without undue strain to these fibrous bands. In the characteristic posture of unbalanced feet, however, the shoulders slump forward and, instead of the breast bone being prominent, the armpits are now more forward. It becomes mechanically impossible for the breast-and-collarbone fascia to support the breast. Weak fibers from the outer side of the chest attached to the armpits must now do the job. But these fibers are incapable. So there is a constant straining and tearing at these tissues on the upper outer part of the breast. It is exactly in this site that more than 90% of breast cancer is found, and it can be reasonably concluded that the deformation of the feet may be an important cause." You may find my thesis regarding shoes and disease on the Internet at: http://www.shoebusters.com Thank you very much for considering my novel approach.

On the prostate cancer ng this last para was changed to: "Prostate cancer is just one example of diseases that are related to the use of footwear. The postural changes from wearing shoes include sagging abdominal contents, visibly producing a potbelly in some men. Of the internal damage lurking beneath the surface in all men, Dr. Wikler writes, "Not all the pressure of the sagging diaphragm and abdominal organs is dispersed through the anteriorly bulging abdomen; a considerable portion of this pressure is directed backward against the pelvic organs. These organs, lying in a bony bowl, cannot escape the injury and pressure from above. In the male the prostate, being the firmest organ, is particularly prone to injury. Such mechanical forces also cause a squeezing of the lower abdominal blood and lymph vessels in the process, interfering with drainage of the prostate." Diminished circulation must surely influence hormonal balance and regulation, but poor posture would also seem to disturb muscular control in the pelvic region, such that the prostate cannot be fully voided or drained, likewise contributing to male sterility. Possible outcomes from faulty body mechanics thus include congestion, hypertrophy, infection, inflammation, irritation, or malignancy of the prostate gland." > TO: All breast cancer researchers, doctors, and patients. <snip> > The purpose of this yearly post is to stimulate interest and discussion > about the biomechanical effects of shoes on "age-related" degenerative [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > James Semmel > Albuquerque, New Mexico Personally, I think the bra is a contributer.  SignatureEnter any 11-digit prime number to continue... bobert Apparently it's not just prostate and breast cancers. Someone on the prostate ng found these <VBG> : It's not just breast cancer. With the help of Google, searching geoups, I found the following from this prolific spammer: 3rd annual: Are shoes the cause of obesity? alt.support.diet 2nd annual: Are shoes a cause of colon cancer? alt.support.cancer 3rd annual: Are shoes the cause of Alzheimer's disease? alt.support.alzheimers 2nd annual: Are shoes a cause of multiple sclerosis? alt.support.mult-sclerosis 3rd annual: Are shoes the cause of diabetes? alt.support.diabetes 2nd annual: Are shoes a cause of osteoporosis? sci.med.diseases.osteoporosis 3rd annual: Are shoes the cause of vision problems? sci.med.vision 3rd annual: Are shoes the cause of heart disease? alt.support.mult-sclerosis 2nd annual: Are shoes a cause of Alzheimer's? alt.support.alzheimers 3rd annual: Are shoes the cause of asthma? alt.support.asthma Are shoes a cause of rosacea?

Gets righ ... NO! I feel a thread of puns coming on :-) Mary Mary, All of those questions can be summarized in a single one: Are shoes a cause of disease in humans? james > Apparently it's not just prostate and breast cancers.

I go around in my stocking feet and have had cancer, twice even, I've got allerigies, and I'm also a diabetic as well. I guess that blows the theory about wearing shoes. I bet I put on shoes, MAYBE once a week. I'm a homebody.. Take care there/God bless annie > Apparently it's not just prostate and breast cancers.

I didn't even wear socks until I got dire beates, when they threatened me with all sorts of vague threats if I didn't wear slippers around the house. So, obviously, wearing the slippers must have given me BC ;d >>> I'm shocked!

I guess [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > So, obviously, wearing the slippers must have given me BC ;d Come to think of it I never wear socks or stockings. Or slippers. You're all wrong, it's sandals wot do it. You've just reminded me who talked about Studio - I'll go and count :-) Mary >>>> I'm shocked!

Or slippers. You're > all wrong, it's sandals wot do it. Uh oh! I'm seeing a pattern here. I wear shoes as little as possible - bare feet when I can, sock feet if I must. Mama said I wouldn't even leave booties on when I was a baby. Evidently, *not* wearing shoes must cause BC! Ann T. Remove 'dontsendspam' from address to reply by email >>>>> I'm shocked!

In EVERY case of BC, the victim had previously cut her nails. You can't argue with statistics like that! >>>>>> I'm shocked!

I do hope that all this is being added to James' research. Mary www.researchmangosteen.org www.mymangosteen.com/roybilec |
