Our mission: stop breast cancer before it starts. We focus on prevention for young women. The HKF advocates for true Prevention.

Women under 40 are consistently told that self exam is their only option until they are old enough for the Mammogram. (Helen Knoll had breast cancer twice before 40!) Self exam is NOT the only choice. Over 90% of breast cancer occurrence is due to life-style choices and behaviors that we can control.
1) low carb/sugar healthy diet
2) Vitamin D3 level at optimal 40-60 ng/ml serum level can lower oc

currence by 77%
3) Avoid Progestin birth control and use hormone-free options
4) Choose self or clinical self exams, Ultrasound, MRI or Thermography
5) Avoid stress and exercise

Women with adequate vitamin D levels at diagnosis show better breast cancer survival outcomes, according to recent research.

This underscores the importance of maintaining sufficient vitamin D — through sunlight exposure, nutrition, and personalized supplementation.
Regular testing helps ensure your levels are within the optimal range for overall health and resilience.

3-Step Standing Self-Breast Check

1. Look in the mirror

Arms at your sides, then raised.

Check for changes in size, shape, skin, or ni***es.

2. Feel your breasts

Using 3 fingers, make small circles over the whole breast.

Use light, medium, and firm pressure.

Cover from collarbone to bra line and armpit to sternum.

3. Check the armpits

Gently feel for lumps or changes in the underarm area.

If you ever notice new lumps, changes, discharge, or persistent pain, contact a healthcare provider.
