And this is a second time interview with Sydney. Sydney, welcome back. How are you?

I'm great, Jason. Thank you for having me back.

Good, good. Well, the pleasure is mine. And where are you located today? Are you in Hawaii?

Yes, I'm in Hawaii at our off the grid research facility for lifestyle disease. Yeah, we just, we live, we grow our own food and make our own energy, collect our own water and live a different lifestyle than the mainland type lifestyle close to nature.

Uh huh. Fantastic. And where in Hawaii are you?

I'm on the big island on the east side.

Good stuff. Well, talk to us about the biggest, latest and greatest thing that you're doing and that's calling for a boycott against Susan G. Komen and the American Cancer Society. Right?

Yes. Well, you know, 20 years ago we came up with our research findings that showed that the leading cause of breast cancer is the wearing of tight bras for long periods of time every day. And this information has now been verified by five other studies and it's still being ignored and suppressed by the big cancer interests which are working closely with the lingerie industry. Which funds a lot of cancer research now, and they refuse to look at this issue and are calling it a myth. And every year for 20 years now, I've been trying to just get the word out. And it's been getting out on a grassroots level. But so long as these organizations are putting a limit on it and saying that this is not true, it should not be researched, it becomes something that researchers are afraid to look at because they're going to get blacklisted. And the media then go ahead.

Oh, that's really quite interesting because, you know, you just made me think, you know, Victoria's Secret has got this pink campaign for Susan G. Komen. I mean, they're all over the place really, the pink campaign that they're doing. So I didn't know that they were working. How else are they working together? You know, like, why does this conspiracy exist? I mean, are Komen and the ACS donating money or. I mean, are the lingerie companies donating money directly to Komen and acs?

Oh, yes, they have foundations now. The lingerie industry has foundations to fund breast cancer research. And they, you know, just like the tobacco industry likes to fund lung cancer research.

How ironic.

It's the way they control the industry. They control research that way. I mean, it's all about money and the flow of money. And when you have great research ideas, they're not going to be unless they profit, some funding source, unless it's the government that's funding it. But the governments, the government is like the National Cancer Institute. They work closely with the American Cancer Society and these other interests. So there is no objective basis for this. Our research world is controlled by profit oriented industries.

Yeah. And you have that all over the place. Of course, you know, that's not just here. But you gave the example about tobacco. But you know, with the lingerie aspect, I mean, broadly, bras are just one aspect of lingerie. And certainly bras can be designed differently, et cetera. There's probably some acceptable way to do it so that we don't have this breast cancer issue. I mean, why would they be? You know, it's not like they're making tobacco and, you know, you got to smoke tobacco and then get cancer. Right. This is a little more of a tenuous issue, isn't it?

Not really. The whole idea of bras like corsets, for hundreds of years, corsets were designed to change the shape of the body. And when you change the shape, you change, change how it functions. So you have constriction and compression and that Interferes with circulation. So women were literally being killed with corsets. Men and children, too, were wearing corsets. Then there was foot binding for a thousand years in China, where women would bind their feet in tight shoes and it would actually cause the toes to rot away. But that was all considered erotic. And there was a political aspect to that of keeping women disabled and hobbled. So these types of fashions have been used all the time. I mean, humans do fashions. It's a cultural imposition on our bodies that doesn't necessarily support our body's function and many times goes against it. Now, with a bra, you have a young girl, as soon as she hits puberty, she starts binding her breasts. It's a breast binding phenomenon. And that creates a dependence on the bra and creates weak breasts because they're not holding themselves up. So it actually causes breasts to droop. And research now shows that and verifies that. So you actually create a dependence. And you talk to women about their bras. Many of them feel addicted to them. They can't imagine life without bra.

Really? I've never heard that before. That's fascinating.

Oh, yeah, they'll wear them 24 7.

I mean, isn't there some way to design them correctly so that we don't have this problem?

Well, if the purpose of the bra is to change your shape and lift and separate or whatever, anytime you change the shape, you have to apply pressure. And, you know, when women take off their bras, they have these red marks and indentations around their breasts from the bra, which are signs of constriction. And that cuts off the lymphatic drainage from the breast. Cuts it off completely, or you would really respond quickly. But it's a chronic, slow lymphedema that develops.

I mean, it reminds me of the issue of Ralph Nader in the auto industry in the 50s, and maybe about 10 years ago, there was this big thing about bicycle seats and how they were causing impotence and, you know, maybe contributing to prostate cancer. And they redesigned the bicycle seats. Ralph Nader got a lot of safety issues, got people to redesign cars. It seems like there must be some way to do this without being a pygmy in National Geographic.

Well, actually. Well, that's another story you just raised, But I'll answer your first point. Yeah, There are some other designs, and some bra companies have come up with patented new bras, citing our research, actually, ironically, to promote the saying they're not going to interfere as much with lymphatics. You can wear them Better fitted where they're not so tight. 80% of women are wearing them too tightly. And anything that pushes up or underwire, that kind of a thing is obviously a no, no. So what you is if a woman wants breast constraint for some reason, like a man might want a jock strap when he's exercising, a woman might want breast constraint at those times. She can wear a sports bra or something for a couple hours. But to wear these devices for 12, 18, 24 hours a day, that's when you're talking about excessive use of a tight garment. So you know, you have to, you can change the garment and make it not as constrictive. You can make it so it doesn't change breast shape as much as just support the breast. Although the body doesn't need breast support. It's not like it was designed with a flaw that needs 20th century lingerie. You know, they sold corsets saying you needed abdomen support and girdles. It's not like we really need, that's all sales. And people who've never worn them have no problems with their bodies. The big issue is that women who are bra free have about the same rate of breast cancer as men, which is 100 times less than women who sleep in their bra.

And where are they bra free? Like where are you saying, you know, is that some place that's in some undeveloped country in Africa or is it more hippie ish type women? I mean, you know, we're. It seems everywhere I look you got bras, these devices, as you call them.

Well, you know, it's definitely. There is a small percentage in this country who are bra free. But there are other cultures where they don't wear bras like you say, and they have very little breast cancer rates. And as soon as their culture becomes westernized, like we did a study in Fiji after our United States study that's in our book Dress to Kill, we did a Fiji study and half the women there are bra free. And we found the breast cancer was only happening in the bra wearing women. And they were wearing them because they had to wear them for work. And you know, so that there was the same genetics, same diet, lived in the same village, but if they went to work, they wore a bra and they were the ones dealing with breast disease. And you know, it's just a simple constriction issue. So, you know, you go to places, as soon as they get westernized and start wearing the bra, their breast cancer rates go. So not just diet, that's very little to do with breast Cancer, it's diet delivers the toxins to our body. You know, the poisons that we eat.

Right. But we can excrete them if the drainage is proper. That's what you're saying, right?

Exactly, exactly. Lymphatics is a big way of eliminating these. And because it's in the tissues and they have to flush out, if you're wearing something constrictive, the tissue basically sits in its own waste and gets toxic.

Yeah, I mean it makes sense. It seems like a very. Seems like a very logical argument. What about the deodorant link though? I mean that would just be another toxin like food that, that maybe we could excrete. The deodorant antiperspirant. That's a poison that people are putting under their arms and especially women. If they just freshly shave there and then apply this, the pores are more open. And then you combine it with the bra issue that you're mentioning. I mean, is that part of it?

Well, it may be. I don't know if the research shows that that's the case, but I think that's something that needs to be better looked at. And the other thing is the br. And delivered itself. The fibers in the bra break down into monomers that are. It's a polymer inside the elastic and it breaks down into units that are actually carcinogenic. And women have this. And there's research that shows depigmentation of the skin from the fibers in bras. And then you imagine all the chemicals and you wash your bra and the sweat and everything. I mean, it's just. And it heats the breasts. It's holding on, you know, intimately associated with the breasts. I mean, if we men wore jockstraps like women wore bras, we'd have more testicular cancer. And heating the organs is not good when they're external organs like that. That's why they're on the outside of the belly, to stay cooler. So there's a lot of reasons that the bras are bad. They're just a cultural thing. And the problem is this makes sense and it deserves further research. And women should be warned about not wearing them as tight, not wearing them as long, realizing you don't need them. It's a choice. And that you can be bra free and women who are. Are healthy and happy and better breasts, but healthier breasts that are actually fir that you can know that. Except when you have organizations like the Komen foundation and the American Cancer Society saying that everything that I just told you is absurd. It doesn't deserve any Attention. And if any of the research that does show a link between bras and breast cancer, it's got to be for some other reason than the bra. They even try to. There's a Harvard study that came out before my research did in 1991. They found half the rate of breast cancer in bra free women premenopausal.

They didn't understand why. Maybe it's because they were bigger breasted or obese or something. But their own research that obesity is only a factor in postmenopausal women, this was in premenopausal. And yet they wrote that explanation in there saying that's what the Kohlmans and acs, they say, oh yeah, that study. But the researchers, I mean, realize that means we can cut breast cancer rates in half by getting rid of the bra, according to that study, which is over 200,000 women every year in the US alone. So we can save 100,000 women just by that research. And then they ignored it because it wasn't what they were looking for. They were doing some other aspect of the study and that was just one part of it. It was like a surprise finding. And they tried to rationalize it away because they didn't have the theory that I have of a lymphatic blockage. So they didn't understand it. And now that research is being just basically ignored. They're just going to forget about that. They'll forget about what I've done. They'll forget about this China study that found sleeping in a bra doubles your rate of breast. And another one Venezuelan study found confirmed my research completely about the type of. They even looked at underwire bras being the worst kind. There was a clinic and they correlated breast disease with the wearing of bras and how long and how tight they were. But it's happening in China and Venezuela. One study in Harvard and then my research. Where's the studies on this? Why isn't this in the public? 20 years have gone by, how many women have died from this disease because this issue has been ignored and have gotten this disease and gone through the treatment. How much of our culture's money, our medical expenses have been wasted on this? I mean, there's so many ways that this is wrong. And that's why we're saying, you know, we need to stop these industries. You know, the cancer industry. American Cancer Society is like the authority and the media and the government bow to these organizations. And these organizations have billions. So they're very powerful and they're being paid and supported by the chemical the detection and treatment industry, they're into detecting your disease with early, whether it's genetic tests and they'll take your breasts off before you even have breast disease, saying you're going to get it someday. I mean, talk about early detection. That's before you even have it. And they'll look into their genetic crystal ball and say, you're going to get it. We're going to get rid of your breasts now.

Pull out your tonsils, your wisdom teeth. You know, this is all kinds of this, this, that's crazy.

It is, but women do it. That was Angelina Jolie. That was the whole push for her. I mean that was all supported and paid for to encourage early breast removal based upon the likelihood that you might have it on genetics. And genetics is Only a small percent of breast cancer. It's 5%. Breast cancer cases can be explained by genetics. And yet that's all they want to talk about because that's what they have the most power over people. You can't change your genes, so you. But you can get rid of your bra and you can, you know, do do lifestyle changes. And they don't want to talk about that because they don't make any money on that at all. They only make it when you get cancer.

Yeah, yeah. You know, I.

Just have to think there is a really, really ugly evil link deeper in the equation and that is the whole cancer industry. I mean it is amazing if you listen to talk radio, how many commercials you hear for cancer centers for chemotherapy. I mean it's like, does the whole country have cancer? This is like mind boggling that we're thinking about.

The American Cancer Society's mission is to make cancer a comfortable part of life. They sell mastectomy bras. They sell prostheses to replace your breasts after the taken out. They'll sell wigs. They basically are trying to make. They're accepting cancer is a fact that's insane. They want it detected early, treated early.

You know, I mean, I'll give you an example. I can't even believe that. So many places, you know, and I'm gonna pick on Starbucks specifically. Why. Why do they only serve for the sugars? Why do they only have equal sugar in the raw, regular, processed, terrible sugar and Splenda and SW the stevia. Doesn't that just seem like an obvious thing? You know, and I'm just saying that I believe stevia is less dangerous or maybe, okay, completely. I don't know. You may disagree, but I can't believe there's no stevia. Sweetener for your coffee. It just blows my mind that we know how bad equal and Splenda and sweet' n Low are and processed sugar. I mean, those are just awful. Everyone would agree, you know, are they involved with the cancer industry too?

What we're really talking about here is the nature of culture genic disease. What happens is you have industries that are invested in keeping quiet the harm that their products are causing. And there are a lot of companies out there doing harmful things to people. And then they make sure that there's very little research done. And whatever research is done, they'll try to suppress it. They'll do their own research that'll conflict with it. They'll just keep the issue confused. Medical industry is making money treating the diseases caused by these other industries and gets funding from these other industries. And the less research there is out there, the less likelihood there'll be lawsuits. So it's in the best interest of both the medical field and these harmful industries to minimize the amount of research that's done on those industries. And then the public gets addicted to these products. They get brainwashed by all the advertising into thinking they need these products. And you have to have the conditions ripe for a culture caused disease. And that's what breast cancer is. You have women's body image has become defined by bras. You have lingerie industry that's making these devices to change body shape and it's obviously causing problems, but they don't want any research in it. They're cancer research. And the cancer industry is into detecting and treating the diseases. Once you get them, they have no interest in trying to prevent it by challenging these, this, the bra and its use. And the lingerie industry, I mean, they can't even get people to stop smoking.

So that's the nature of the problem here. And the only way to stop it is to stop paying for it. We have to take control over our own lives, stop being part of it. There's nothing wrong with being bra free if you don't want to be bra free. Don't wear your bra so tight and so long.

I was surprised to hear you say that women sleep in them. I didn't, I didn't really, I've never noticed that.

Oh, that's, that's a big trend. And the more they do that, the rates on breast cancer are astronomical. And they do that because the bra industry has been lying to them saying if you sleep in your bra it'll prevent your breasts from sagging. And actually the bra causes sag because as I said before, it's an artificial support. It's like if you held your arm in a sling all the time, the muscle would absorb atrophy. So it's all a scam. And instead of sending them a donation, when the Coleman or American Cancer Society comes to your door asking for money, give them your bra. It would be the best thing you could do for yourself. And it'll get them the message that they have to stop ignoring this and start warning women about this simple way to prevent breast cancer.

Very interesting, very interesting. It makes me think that the other one, although it's much less impactful, of course, is you look at a company like Under Armour and there are other companies that do it too. But a lot of this athletic clothing is pressure clothing.

Yes.

Designed to increase performance by putting constriction and pressure on the muscles. And, you know, I have to say that when I've used it working out or going to the gym, it kind of makes you feel like Superman. It's, you know, imagine wearing that.

Well, imagine wearing that all day for like 18 hours a day, like as soon as you get up and maybe never even taking it off. You know, even ACE bandages are bad when you wear them too long because they prevent proper circulation. And while you're wearing them, it interferes with circulation. If you put something tight, tight pants on, it'll actually make your blood shift to your head because it can't go down as well. There's more pressure, so it goes to places where there's less pressure. And, you know, it's just like simple mechanics, fluid mechanics. So you actually are changing your circulation and the skin gets compressed by any of these garments and the skin lymphatics then can't flow, so your skin cells don't get circulation and you'll eventually get ulcers. People who wear tight socks, support hose, all those things. Over time they start getting foot ulcers because of the breakdown of the skin. And the same thing is happening in the breasts. So you don't want anything tight. Our bodies are soft on the outside for a reason, so you have to respect that.

Right. Very interesting, very interesting points, Sydney. Give out your website, tell people where they can buy the book.

Yeah. KillerCulture.com is where we have all sorts of different lifestyle cause diseases and we talk about boycott and so forth. Killerculture.

Com, that's killerculture available there too. Okay. Killerculture.com and I'm sure the book's on Amazon as well, right? Oh, yes, yeah, of course. And the message here is boycott. Tell us specifically the boycotts. And are there any more besides the two biggies? Well, those.

Those are the two ones that we're aiming for. But any, any cancer organization that ignores the bra cancer link, and there are other ones, too. Just don't pay them. Just let them give them your bra and get the message to them. They know about this information and they've been knowing about it now for 20 years. And they're doing what? Because this is around the world. Dress to Kill just came out in the Czech language in the Czech Republic. It came out two years ago in Korean. It's around the world and it's spreading grassroots because when women get rid of their bras, they feel better, Their cysts go away, their pain goes away because bras are causing fibrocystic breast disease too. So it's really important for women to just take control over their own bodies. And when these organizations come and tell you we want your money so we can come up with a cure, you need to tell them, I'm learning how to prevent this so I don't need your cure and here's my bra. And that'll get them the message. Because money is all they care about.

Yeah, yeah, of course it is. Well, good. Sydney Ross, the singer. Thank you for joining us today, folks. This is an interesting message. It certainly deserves some attention. Go out and get the book dressed to kill the link between breast cancer and bras and visit killerculture.com Sydney, thanks for joining.
