A PINCH OF CANCER
Dec 19, 2009 Bra
If you didn’t burn yours in the ‘Sixties, you might want to put it away now. “Bras cause cancer. It’s open and shut,” says medical researcher Syd Singer.
The Singers became cancer sleuths in 1991. On the day Soma discovered a lump in her breast, the husband-wife team was studying the effects of Western medicine on Fijians. In the shower, Syd noticed that Soma’s shoulders and were outlined by dark red grooves. He remembered a puzzled Fijian woman asking his wife about her brassiere: “Doesn’t it feel tight?”
“You get used to it,” Soma had replied.
Could bras be constricting tissue, Syd wondered, hampering lymph drainage and causing degeneration?
Soma decided to stop wearing hers. But when Syd searched the medical literature he found no known causes of cancer, which rarely appears before a woman’s mid- thirties, most often after 40. The highest death rates from cancer are in North America and northern Europe, with the developing world catching up fast.
The World Health Organization calls chemical toxins the primary cause of cancer. But poisons accumulating in tissue are normally flushed by clear lymph fluid into large clusters of lymph nodes nestling in the armpits and upper chest. The Singers found that “because lymphatic vessels are very thin, they are extremely sensitive to pressure and are easily compressed.” Chronic minimal pressure on the can cause lymph valves and vessels to close.
“Less oxygen and fewer nutrients are delivered to the cells, while waste products are not flushed away,” the Singers noted. After 15 or 20 years of bra-constricted lymph drainage, cancer can result.
Looking at other cultures, Soma and Syd were struck by the low incidence of cancer in poorer nations awash in pesticides dumped by northern nations. They didn’t find peasant women wearing push-up bras. Instead, they discovered that the Maoris of New Zealand integrated into white culture have the same rate of cancer, while Australia’s marginalized aboriginals have virtually no cancer. The same trend held for “Westernized” Japanese, Fijians and other bra-converted cultures.
In Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Cancer and Bras, the researchers also observed that just before a woman begins her period, estrogen floods her system, causing her to swell. If she continues wearing the same bra size, life-saving lymphatics will be even more tightly squished. Had they found the “estrogen link” to cancer?
Childless women never fully develop their breast-cleansing lymphatic system. Nor do women who have never breast-fed. Working women who wear bras everyday and postpone having children could be at higher risk, the Singers warn.
Even worse, a young woman’s coming of age is often “marked” by her first bra. Like the ancient Chinese practice of foot-binding, “breast-binding” at puberty can eventually lead to severe medical complications.
Could bras be the “missing link” in a growing epidemic of cancer? Beginning in May, 1991, Soma and Syd Singer’s 30-month Bra and Cancer study interviewed some 4,000 women in five major U.S. cities. All were Caucasian of mostly “medium income” ranging in age from 30 to 79. Half had been diagnosed with cancer.
Almost all of the women interviewed were unhappy with the size or shape of their Women who chose a bra for appearance, ignoring soreness and swelling, had twice the rate of cancer of those who did not.
But the most startling statistic was how many women who wore their daytime bras to sleep contracted cancer. So did one out seven women strapped into a bra more than 12 hours a day. Bra-free women have just a one in 168 chance of being diagnosed with cancer, says Singer. The same as bra-free men.
“Don’t sleep in your bra!” Syd Singer pleads. “Women who want to avoid cancer should wear a bra for the shortest period of time possible – certainly for less than 12 hours daily.”
Syd also submits that some 80% of bra-wearers who experience lumps, cysts and tenderness will see those symptoms vanish, “within a month of getting rid of the bra.”
Not everyone is ready to hang up her halter. As one woman told the team, “My will sag all the way to my navel without a bra.” But Surgeon Christine Haycock at the New Jersey College of Medicine says that inherited traits – not ligaments or size – are the reason some give in to gravity. Bouncing bosoms help clear the lymphatics.
Well aware that their findings were “explosive,” the Singers sent their survey results to the heads of America’s most prestigious cancer organizations and institutes. None responded. Like the cancer business, the bra business is huge. Multiply how many worldwide women buy several $25 bras every year and you end up with a multiple of the $6 billion-a-year U.S. bra business.
Syd Singer says that establishment censorship of the bra-breast cancer connection is killing women. Pointing to the biggest commonality among cancer patients, he’s emphatic that it’s bra-squeezed lymphatics.
Going bra-less for all occasions, Soma began dressing to de-emphasize her She also began regular massage and bicycle riding, vitamin and herbal supplementation, and drinking only purified water.
Two months later, her lump disappeared.
At the first frightening sign of a lump, an angry Syd Singer says, “women should take their bras off before they take their off.” Why wait, when you can liberate your lymphatics now?
IF YOU MUST WEAR A BRA
Push-up and sports bras are out. Choose loose-fitting cotton bras. Make sure you can slip two fingers under the shoulder-straps and side- panels. The higher the side-panels, the more severe the restriction of major lymph nodes. Don’t wear this disastrous device to sleep. Take it off at home. Massage your every time you remove your bra. Sing your lymphatics into health – or at least breathe deeply.

The Bra Has Been Raised
Dec 12, 2009 Bra
There are two things in life that I’ll never really understand; bigamy, and the mechanics of a bra. The wife finds my ineptness hilarious, she was rolling on the floor last night as I struggled with a multitude of hooks; I should really have passed her the valium.
For me, that was the least amusing moment of my life, and I’ve met Tim Lovejoy.
Whenever I feel depressed, I find the quotes of Ian Holloway are always therapeutic. The great man has been responsible for more quality lines than Pete Doherty.
The Plymouth manager’s mirth masks an underlying intelligence, like a beauty queen dying her hair ginger to fend off an unwanted suitor. I refuse to underestimate the modern day Socrates; I’m piling into Plymouth at 17/10 to knock out Watford.
The last time Middlesbrough met Manchester United, Gareth Southgate was quick to condemn Ronaldo’s propensity to greet the turf like a long lost relative.
Sir Alex was equally unequivocal in his counter, labelling the novice manager ‘naïve’, which as far as i’m aware, is not even a real word. There are an abundance of words that adequately sum up the 3/4 for another Manchester United win, I’ve settled for ‘pulchritudinous’.
It would not surprise me in the slightest if the contentious Ronaldo opened the scoring at 7/1. The orange winger is currently so hot; it would take a whole tub of Canesten to cool him down.
Chelsea’s grip on the Premiership has been loosened by the often maligned John O’Shea. Frank Lampard found it particularly ironic, as most of his goals have been assisted by John’s lesser known brother, Rick.
I’ve had a pop at Lamps in the past, but I must praise him for defending Adebayor in the aftermath of the Carling Cup. I’m not sure I believe his claim that he was never smacked; something must have given him the munchies. I’ll be taking the family out for a slap-up meal if Chelsea beat Tottenham at 4/9; they can even ‘go large’.
Jose Mourinho should steer clear of the card tables. The Special One looked completely bewildered as Shevchenko missed another sitter last week; the only way the Chelsea manager would ever win at poker is if he played the West Ham lads. A bet on Lampard to net the opener at 13/2 is the equivalent of getting your hands on a big pair.
Blackburn host Manchester City in a tie that has ‘home win’ written all over it. The Rovers have already hammered Psycho’s gang twice this season; the odds of 19/20 would need to be lying seductively on a couch wearing a Velcro brassiere to be any more appealing.
Manchester City’s strike-force is so lightweight, wafer-thin model Kate Moss would be a clear favourite if they were ever to meet in a ruck. Blackburn are 6/5 to keep a clean sheet, dig in.
I’m often asked why I appear reluctant to share my expertise on the Scottish football scene. I can assure you it’s not a result of xenophobia; some of my best friends know Scottish people.
Celtic are on a six match unbeaten run against Rangers; they look a cracking investment at 21/20 to continue their recent outright ownership. There’s a real lesson to be learned here, money earned from an FA Cup match is equal to money gained from park football.
The weekend accer is so inspiring; it makes me believe that one day all men will be free from discrimination, injustice and persecution for trying to lift a bra over a lady’s head. Chelsea, Blackburn, Plymouth and Celtic are the selections, the payout is an ample 12/1.

Buying Designer Jeans – Some Thoughts
Dec 10, 2009 Fashion
There are a variety of brand names in the designer jeans sector. In general terms buying jeans here will be down to the brands that people like or aspire to and the style they want to wear. Diesel and Evisu jeans, for example, have established a strong market amongst younger shoppers whilst the Armani Jeans brand name appeals to all ages and offers classic styles with a designer look and
feel. Lambretta jeans often prove popular with people looking for a certain ’street’ look.
Considerations to make when buying a pair of designer jeans
Some people like to stick with a tried and tested brand of jeans whilst others buy based on the style, design and look and therefore may not be that concerned by buying from one brand name. As well as having a lot of designers to choose from, shoppers also have to decide on other factors such as style, colour and materials.
For example, some people only like to wear button fly jeans whilst others like to have a zip. Some prefer a bootleg cut, some prefer a comfort fit whilst others like a straight leg or a slim fit. A lot of the decisions to be made will be down to personal preference although body shape obviously plays a part — some jeans brands simply don’t seem to look good on certain body shapes whilst
others will fit just fine.
There is also a lot of choice when it comes for materials and looks. Colours with jeans range from black down to dark blue and then to light denim. Some jeans are distressed, some are stone-washed, some are faded and some are pre-treated to give a ‘dirty’ look. It is possible to create two completely different looks with two different pairs of jeans — one pair can make the wearer look
smart-casual whilst another can make them look completely casual.
Getting the right quality and fit with designer jeans
With most designer jeans being more expensive than standard jeans it is important to think about issues such as quality before buying a pair. Luckily, quality is generally of a high level here — designers rarely put their names to poor quality materials and workmanship.
Buying jeans online is a popular way of getting hold of designer jeans at favourable prices but this can make it harder to ascertain fit. Some will use the high street as a glorified fitting room, trying on a pair before whizzing home to buy online at a discount. In practice, it is worth taking some time to research the jeans before you buy them to get it right. For example, take some time to read
up on the detailing on the jeans. A good e-tailer will also list all of the measurements. It’s important to pay attention to these measurements as they will help ensure the perfect fit.
Remember that perhaps the easiest way in which to check the measurements is to compare them with the measurements of a pair of jeans that you currently own. This will show you how the jeans will potentially fit. Of course, if you are buying jeans from a favourite brand then you will already probably have a good idea as to how well they will fit.
Conclusion
The key factor to consider is how good the jeans feel when wearing them. Jeans should be comfortable to wear — if they are not comfortable then they will rapidly find their way into that dark, dusty section of your wardrobe! With so many choices on offer here, however, there is almost certainly a pair of designer jeans to suit.
