subject: You Don't Have to Squish Them Anymore [print this page] You Don't Have to Squish Them Anymore You Don't Have to Squish Them Anymore
No doubt you've heard the latest news about Mammogram screenings and the newest recommendations by the United States Government task force. In case you missed the news... the task force came out with new guidelines (in 2010) suggesting that women NOT GET MAMMOGRAMS as often as originally suggested! They are recommending that women over 50 get a mammogram screening done every two years!
In the aftermath of this new guideline being introduced the normal cancer industry has gone a little nuts yelling and screaming and arguing over how outrageous this is... hmm.... wheneversomeone starts yelling and screaming I personally get a little curious...
It doesn't take much research on the internet or through health books for anyone to find out that mammograms give many false positives causing thousands of women to be subjected to surgeries (biopsies) that are un-needed. That mammograms increase the risk of cancer due to the levels of radiation being used. That getting mammograms every single year increases your eventual chance of cancer. That mammograms are incredibly painful to women. That mammograms literally scare the pants off of women. That mammograms have literally become a "feeder line" for oncologists and pharmaceutical companies pushing chemical and surgical cancer treatments.
It was recently reported in the news that in Copenhagen, Denmark deaths from breast cancer were lower in areas where women did not undergo those screening tests. An earlier report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association'sArchives of Internal Medicine (Arch Intern Med. 2008;168 [21]:2302-2303) reached a startling conclusion: breast cancer rates increased significantly in four Norwegian counties after women there began getting mammograms every two years.
We know that the cancer "industry" is a multi-BILLION dollar "cash cow". It rakes in the money through harmful treatments, dangerous chemicals (drugs), expensive marketing campaigns that pull on the heartstrings of millions of people and frighten even more.
Please understand that I am not against all Oncologists. I am against any medical "professional" who refuses to allow the patient the freedom of choice. I am against any practitioner who thinks and operates with the viewpoint that "their way is the ONLY way". I am against any practitioner who is negative toward natural solutions and only pushes pharmaceutical solutions.
There is no question, that in the battle with cancer, it takes every piece of ammunition you can put your hands on.
Look... I know this one personally and well. I lost my husband to cancer a few years ago. He did the surgeries to remove the tumors and the cancer came back in the same place. He did the radiation treatments and the cancer came back in the same place. He chose to do the standard medical route and do as much of the nutritional as he was willing to do. It is a known fact that surgery and removal of cancer tumors can cause the cancer cells to spread. It did. It is a known fact that radiation CAUSES cancer. It did.
Now with that said... I also know numerous women that will tell you how their mammogram saved their life... it DID detect cancer and they fought the battle and won... that's excellent and I am happy for them... My personal viewpoint is this: what if there was an easier, less risky way to not only detect but also prevent the cancer in the first place?
Ok... What do you do? First I urge you to find an alternative to mammograms.
THERMOGRAPHY is a great choice. It can detect breast cancer tumors and is non-invasive, safe, affordable, and doesn't involve radiation.
Certainly you may have a hard time finding someone in your area who does THERMOGRAPHY as it is not part of the CASH-COW CANCER industry. Call your local hospitals and labs and start demanding that this kind of screening become available in your area. If enough of us speak up and start demanding a better way - things will change. Check with the alternative practitioners in your area who may already know of labs that are offering this service.
Secondly I urge you to do everything you can to PREVENT breast cancer.
Pharmaceutical companies really don't have any financial interest in looking at anything that is natural nor into anything thatwould prevent disease as they can't make money with natural substances... the result is they have no interest in telling you about a few key supplements that help to prevent breast cancer: iodine, vitamin D3, bio-identical progesterone, and fruits and vegetables!
There is much evidence showing that iodine deficiency plays a huge role in breast cancer and fibrocystic breasts. You may not have known this but... other than the thyroid gland, the highest concentration of iodine is found in women's breasts. When iodine is low in the body the risk of acquiring breast cancer is greater.
Women who usually get breast cancer have elevated estrogen and low levels of progesterone in their breast tissues as well. Women taking antidepressants (like Prozac and Paxil) are also at high risk for breast cancer because those drugs have high levels of fluoride that disrupt the iodine and reduce the iodine levels in the breasts!
A recent study at the Creighton University School of Medicine revealed that supplementing with Vitamin D3 canreduce the risk of cancer by 77% (breast, colon and skin cancers specifically!). Studies on Vitamin D3 continue to come out daily... all with positive results for protecting the body from virtually all illnesses. I could literally write an entire book concerning the benefits of Vitamin D.
Vitamin D really isn't a vitamin at all but a potent neuro-regulatory steroidal hormone. It has become clear that vitamin D deficiency is a growing epidemic across the world and is contributing to many chronic debilitating diseases. Vitamin D has long been known to assist healthy bones by helping to stimulate bone cells to make new bone while enhancing the uptake of calcium into bones. Its role in boosting immunity, hormone regulation, brain health, metabolism, diabetes prevention, cancer prevention, and cardiovascular health are just now becoming clear.
There you have it in a nutshell... now it is up to YOU to make the right decision about your health. I would hope that YOU would do whatever it takes to PREVENT cancer from forming and treat it as naturally as you can if you find yourself in the cancer battle.
