2. I sure hope these people are all they appear to be, because I've

been pushing the Army of Women at every opportunity. I believe this disease involves factors such as pesticide exposure or exposure to other trace pollutants as well as Vitamin D deficiency. I think these factors is large scale epidemiological studies. To conduct those studies, you need a large number of people who fit the sample requirements.

Although some studies are follow-ups to determine best treatment, the objective of the Army of Women is to prevent breast cancer.
