Gimme a break

Ok in this article I just found, the guy is obviously FOR Pharmaceutical companies continuing to spread LIES that they are working on a cure for cancer. It gets downright irritating for women with the push and pull of information coming in the form of a freaking hillbilly feud. Corporate profit motives ARE exploiting breast cancer with the "pink" campaign and pharmaceutical companies ARE directing research money ONLY to cures which they can patent and they are IGNORING natural cures that are available NOW.

Mammograms do not save lives. Only 1 woman out of 100 is better off for having gotten a mammogram and 8 will have false positives that might result in unnecessary and toxic treatments and possibly disfiguring surgery they didn't need. Mammograms compress the breast, inducing TRAUMA which makes the breast more prone to cancer and to boot they irradiate them as well. For each mammogram a woman receives she increases her chance of getting cancer FROM the mammogram by 2%. After 10 years of annual mammograms she has increased he cancer risk by 20%.

There are other methods available that are safer now. For routine screening you just need to be familiar with your breasts so you can recognize changes. If you have lumps that are benign now, be familiar with where they are. If you see changes in the skin, or redness or feel a new lump - then you go for a breast MRI and possibly also a PEM Flex scan (PET scan mammogram)..

The reporter in the linked story is sadly misinformed and just repeating the conventional medicine mantra. He is misguided in his attempt to "protect" women. I suggest he go and do a little more research before he writes the next story.
