Another bogus report on mammograms

So the title of this article says Mammograms Reduce Breast Cancer Deaths. Yet, in the article we have these excerpts:

The reviewers estimated that for every 2,000 women who are invited to get mammograms for 10 years, one woman’s life will be prolonged as a result of detecting and treating a potentially lethal cancer. Another 10 healthy women will be transformed into cancer patients and undergo treatment needlessly.

An additional 200 will have the anxiety-inducing experience of a false positive — being told about a suspicious finding on a mammogram that further testing reveals to be noncancerous.

“Screening mammography is clearly a double-edged sword,” said Lisa Schwartz, M.D., co-director of the Veterans Administration Outcomes Group in White River Junction, Vermont.

“Regular screening will save some lives but will cause even more women to be harmed through the unnecessary diagnosis and treatment of cancers that would never have affected their health, were it not for screening.”

Ok so show me again how mammogram reduce breast cancer deaths???? The title does not match the content of the article.

This is the sticking point for me and for my breast cancer lump as well. Does having found require me to do something about it necessarily? I am very healthy. What would have happened if I had not found it? Is it like a time bomb that would have gone off at some point? Or would it just sit there minding it's own business until I authorized some surgeon to go digging around in my breast? I firmly believe that in a LARGE number of cases, the treatment hastens the disease, causes the patient to suffer under the toxic load of the "treatment" and if they are lucky they get through it. What would have happened if they had done nothing?

Earlier in this blog I linked a story about women on which autopsies were performed who died of other causes such as accidents. They found a large number of women had these ductal carcinomas and they probably never even knew it. I don't think this means they were going to necessarily get sick and die because they had them either. However, some of them might have eventually come down with more and more cancer depending on how they lived, what they ate etc.

So I think it is ABSOLUTELY true that women are so scared these days and they get the mammograms and BAM they say - you have breast cancer - but in many cases the treatment is WAY overkill and makes the woman's health actually DECLINE from a healthy starting point. SO UNNECESSARY! If more women who had an "early detection" would learn how to change their diet, take Laetrile and other changes that support healing, I believe we would see WAY more women beating breast cancer for good.
