Women endangered by high rate of false-positive mammograms

10/18/2011 - According to mainstream medicine, mammograms are the key to surviving breast cancer because they supposedly catch the disease early for quick treatment.

Exposing the fraud and mythology of conventional cancer treatments

10/12/2011 - Treating cancer is BIG business in America -- in fact, it's a $200 billion a year business.

Be aware of the dangers of mammography

7/28/2011 - Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology, which analyzes mammography images and marks suspicious areas for radiologists to review, has been widely hyped and pushed on women as a way to insure invasive breast cancer is spotted on mammograms.

The myth of the normal mammogram

3/9/2011 - In my experience, it's not often that pro-mammogram literature or textbooks tell the truth about the limitations of mammography so imagine my surprise when I came across this section in the 1,100 page textbook I'm studying called Breast Imaging by Dr. Daniel B. Kopans. "Because screening does not...

Unreliable detection and twice the radiation - FDA approves new mammogram technology

3/8/2011 - The cancer industry is in the process of rolling out its latest tool of detection which is meant to improve current mammogram technology by offering three dimensional (3-D) imaging of breasts.

Most women skip mammograms, even when insurance will pay for them

Dying cancer patients subjected to expensive, meaningless cancer screening tests

11/10/2010 - Earlier this year, NaturalNews reported the kind of story that almost seems too far-fetched to be true.

9/24/2010 - You now have another good reason to skip that next mammogram, based on new research out of Norway.

Less Health Care Results in Better Health

6/14/2010 - In recent studies, less health care is often better than more. Much of the debate about the overuse of medical services has focused on cost. There is fear that cutting costs would lead to a reduction in care. But in reality reducing medical care often has the opposite result: it means better medical...

The American Cancer Society Runs With the Money and Away from the Cure, Part I

6/14/2010 - The American Cancer Society (ACS) was back in the news this month when they disputed the findings of the President's Cancer Panel on the role of toxins in causing cancer.

Study shows how radiation causes breast cancer

6/9/2010 - It's well-established that exposure to ionizing radiation can trigger mutations and other genetic damage and cause normal cells to become malignant. So it seems amazing how mainstream medicine frequently dismisses the idea that medical imaging tests from mammograms to CT scans could play much of a role...

2009 in review: A year of FDA censorship, Big Pharma crimes and celebrity drug deaths

1/1/2010 - 2009 has been a crazy year for health and medicine.
