  • Breast pain is suffered by millions of women, and often their doctor can never find the cause. The pain can range from mild to severe, it can be related to the monthy cycle or occur randomly.
    Very often there is an easily correctable cause, but many doctors aren't aware of it. A common deficiency can lead to breast pain that can really interfere with daily activites. Correcting this common deficiency can completely relieve this breast pain, and help the body in other ways as well.

      I called my gyn's office to ask about heavy menses and clotting and was informed by the nurse that I was not getting any younger and this is what to expect. Nearly a year later I had an emergency hysterectomy. I was so worn down and anemic by that point (after heavy menstruating for 28 days each month). Just fortunate that I didn't collapse and kill my self or others while driving.

    I started having breast pain a few months ago. Went to the doctor. He held my hand, told me not to worry about it, but come back next year for another mammogram. I figured out on my own they were cysts, and then looked around online. Eventually saw something about some old time wisdom from doctors in the past. They would say when you have no idea, and cannot figure it out, use iodine. They said to paint the breasts with iodine, to relieve cysts. So a few days ago I did. Got a cotton ball and some tincture of iodine, and painted away. I was prepared to apply it every day for a while, but I haven't had any pain and forgot about it.

    Thank you for exposing the ridiculousness of the medical algorithms! I had a similar encounter at 31yo I went to my doctor, explained extreme fatigue, weight gain, heavy periods, unusual (for me) period pain, back pain. Bloods taken, showed low iron and B12, treated and sent to dietician for weight loss. This was no help, so I went back a few more times, told I was overweight and a mother so tiredness was just normal as was everything else. Uterine scan done, showed thick lining, no treatment done. Over 2 years of this and I then changed doctors. Symptoms added were pressure in lower abdomen, more weight gain but was eating less without trying. New doctor was furious with old doctor, sent me for urgent scans and bloods, CA125 elevated, scans showed large ovarian tumor. Surgery and diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer followed shortly after. I was 33 when diagnosed. Struggled with that for a few years and the huge changes due to radical hysterectomy. Weight ballooned, felt terrible. Finally found the ketogenic lifestyle and haven’t looked back! 70lbs down and still going 😊

      My breast pain stopped when I stopped wearing a bra about 20 years ago. So I need to wear layered clothing due to that. At one point I wore a bra after I stopped and that night I was woken up with severe breast pain from a sound sleep. That’s when I stopped wearing it for good. But this limits what I can wear in general of course. My smallest size since age 16 when I weighed about 128 pounds at 5‘6“ was 32F so that is part of my problem

    I had sudden and severe breast pain my first year out of college. I went to the OBGYN very scared. My grandmother died from pancreatic cancer at 64 and my aunt died from breast cancer. She told me to calm down because cancer doesn’t hurt and her advice was to stop eating salt. She told me I had very fibrous breast and it was just me eating too much processed foods. 2 years later a doctor finally addresses the pain my mother has been having on her lower back, kidney cancer. She had her entire kidney removed and has been fine 21 years later. So cancer can hurt…. I have been taking iodine and my once hard breast are completely soft with no pain. Plus I have a lot more energy. Iodine does work and don’t let a doctor mansplain breast pain to you.

      Comment on wrong bra type: Yes! My sister wants to be smaller and I know some who wear ridiculously padded strange bras. You are so correct regarding the wrong bra type. I know several women wear the same bra that at one time may have worked for them but they are worn, have safety pins or are just ancient and the reason they all gave is that the bra fits, is comfy etc. I saw my own Mom do this and if a bra was discontinued she would be reluctant to try a new style. If I find a good fitting bra I buy plenty, and because many of my loved ones have worn such ugly old (probably unfunctional) bras I want mine to be pretty. I am a breast cancer survivor and had 2 lumpectomy(s) and I agree that a good bra that fits correctly is important. After my surgeries I find push-up bra styles to actually cause pain; but thank goodness there are pretty bras in comfortable styles !

    As a Mammographer this is my "opinion"...the first word that comes to mind is CONDESENDING. It is no longer called or treated as fibrocystic disease, it's a type of breast tissue. Actually an-ill fitted bra can be an issue. The biggest issue for women w/breast pain is hormones. So many women ingest way too much soy & caffeine which make fibrocystic tissue more sensitive. Women that are on HRT can almost be guaranteed to have breast pain/sensitivity. I would hope a provider's last option would be Tamoxifen since many women being treated for breast cancer don't tolerate it well (hot flashes). Great video...I've never heard that iodine could help!

    Let's add something that can easily be confused with breast pain, because of proximity. Common among athletes and side-sleepers is a pectoral muscle tightening up and pulling one or more ribs out of their correct position. A good physical therapist, athletic trainer or massage therapist can help get the muscle to relax, which will allow the rib to return to its proper position.

One , the foods I was consuming back in this time because they were usually saturated fatty foods ( I was ordering out alot & drinking lots of juice ) . Second , stress - I had alot going on . Third , my period was a week & half away from hitting. Sure enough I did get it . After I managed both my diet and stress , and of course waited for my period to end , I then stopped experiencing those burning sensations . However , I noticed that intensive stress does eventually lead me to that burn again . But I'm definitely certain I could prevent those burns from happening altogether if I do my due diligence in maintaining a nutritious diet.

    I had terrible breast pain for a couple of weeks and kept checking for lumps, finally went to Dr and she pressed a certain spot and nearly had to peel me off the ceiling.
    She said it was the muscle line and asked what had I been doing.
    I had been pruning my fruit trees and the pain was on my dominant side from the armpit thru the breast almost into the sternum.
    No more gardening for me.... getting too old.

      Awww no, just do some good, steady, consistent yoga stretches before any gardening. ;-)

    The “manage your stress” one pissed me off the most. Why is that whenever a female comes in with a problem a doctor cant easily explain, they blame it on mental health? It’s not just male doctors who do this either. I have experienced this so many times.

    Doctors have always been condescending and have "it's all in your head" attitude. I prefer Dr Google and Dr RUclips and my own intuition and common sense. Learned about iodine that way and it works.

    Hey doctor thank you so much for such informative video. I was just wondering if you can make a video about adrenal deficiency and hormone imbalance. Thank you in advance ❤

    Patronizing, condescending, and assuming that woman can't handle stress, and most symptoms woman have are related to anxiety.That one really ticks me off.

    Great video Doc. You are the man a couple of years ago I went to my gp with sudden onset bleeding after 10 yrs of none ( long story ) anyway my gp sent me to the hospital for a transvaginal scan I was in agony to anyway the young one who scanned me told me I had an irritable bowl wtf I got worse and my gp sent me to a gynaecologist. It became obvious that the young lady in d hospital hadn’t done d scan correctly to cut a long story short I was sent to an oncologist the minutes Me gynaecologist had a look at my MRI next day he did a couple of checks I had my hysterectomy after 6 weeks he wanted to do it sooner but I didn’t want to be laid up over Christmas especially if it was gonna be me last one. My long winded point is if I had of accepted irritable bowel as my diagnosis id be dead now. The algorithm situation the pat the hand new Bra reassurance thingy id hand the dr his teeth and his balls. You are a remarkable human being dr b and thank god for you congratulations on the birth of your lil baby

    That kind of protocol seems very behind the times, that’s putting it lightly. I’m very pro doing your own research because many times there are simple natural remedies that can used that modern medicine just haven’t come around to because it’s so focused on pharmaceutical treatments. Thanks so much for all you do, we sure do appreciate it!! It really helps to hear some common concern and easy practical solutions!🤗🙏💕
