13 The Cause and Eradication of Breast Cancer

Author(s)Paul Dantzig

Background

Almost all women with breast cancer have dermatofibromas.

Methods

Five women with breast cancer had their dermatofibromas excised and tested for arsenic. A total of 56 women with breast cancer and 56 women without breast cancer were examined for the presence of dermatofibromas.

Results

Dermatofibromas were found to have a lethal amount of arsenic. Either the dermatofibroma was caused by arsenic or became a reservoir to trap arsenic. Women with breast cancer and multiple dermatofibromas (n = 38) had a 100% chance of getting the disease. Women with 1 dermatofibroma (n = 11) had a 60% chance of getting the disease. Women with no dermatofibromas (n = 7) had only a 12% chance of getting the disease. In the group without breast cancer, 47 of 56 patients had no dermatofibromas and none had multiple dermatofibromas. Nine patients had 1 dermatofibroma but, as shown by the Figure, had protection by not following every step (probability).

Conclusion

Dermatofibromas are caused by arsenic and set off a cascade of events leading to breast cancer. Screening women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s for dermatofibromas and removing them should eradicate at least 80% to 90% of breast cancer cases.
