❤️🎀 My baby sister… 🥺❤️
There are moments in life when being the big sister means wishing with all your heart that you could take away the pain, fix what is wrong, and make everything okay. This is one of those moments.
You are my little sister, the baby of our four sisters, and no matter how grown we are or where life takes us, a part of me will always want to protect you.
Having you in South Africa while I am here in Portugal is so hard. I wish I could be there to hug you, hold your hand, sit beside you on the difficult days, and remind you in person that you don't have to be strong every minute. If I cannot be there physically, please know that my heart is right there with you. ❤️
I wish this wasn't a journey you had to walk, Sis. I wish I could take away the worry and uncertainty that come with it. I will keep loving you from across the miles, praying for you, encouraging you, and reminding you that you have your sisters beside you.
And to all the women reading this, please, please make your breast health a priority. Don't ignore a change, don't keep putting off that appointment, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Please get to know your body and seek medical advice when something doesn't seem right. We never know how much a simple reminder might matter to someone we love.
This is no longer just a pink ribbon or a month on the calendar for our family. It has a face, a name, and a place very close to my heart. 🎀
My baby sister, my family, my forever bond. Distance may keep me from holding you right now, but it will never keep me from loving you. One call, one day, one step at a time. I am here, Sis. Always. ❤️🌸

Mangosteen Extract Kills 99% of Breast Cancer Cells in Vitro: In this new study, alpha-mangostin, from mangosteen fruit, was shown to kill up to 99% of human breast cancer cells in vitro. Even more interesting is that for the first time ever, the researchers observed exactly how this mangosteen compound did this: by blocking Fatty Acid Synthase (FAS) and disrupting the cancer cell’s ability to make fatty acids—without which the breast cancer cells’ stop growing and die. It turns outs that many different cancers rely on Fatty Acid Synthase for their survival, which may explain why Mangosteen has been shown to be deadly also to prostate, liver, colon, and pancreatic cancers as well as Leukemia in other lab studies. By the way, mangosteen also disrupts Fatty Acid Synthase in normal fat cells—stopping them from accumulating more fat, and may therefore help with weight loss. As an added benefit, a recent clinical trial showed that 6 to 18 oz of juice significantly lowered an important inflammation marker in obese patients—and that may in turn lower the risk for heart disease and diabetes. Mangosteen juice as well as standardised supplement pills are available widely in health food stores, and may just provide an extra measure of protection when used along with a healthy, balanced diet rich in organic vegetables, fruit, herbs and whole foods.
