Fibrocystic Breast Disease

Fibrocystic Breast Disease consists of single or multiple lumps (cysts) in the breasts. The cysts are often harmless and are fairly common, but they may be cancerous. Women with fibrocystic disease of the breast are at greater-than-usual risk of getting breast cancer later in life. Also called chronic cystic mastitis.

Notes: Probable cause is excessive estrogen, particularly estradiol, and the liver's inability to detoxify it. Bowel dysfunction contributes to the toxic buildup. The liver must be fully functional in order to properly detoxify.
