But it isn't prevention, it's detection. breast cancer screening does nothing to educate women how to really prevent breast cancer, nor does it teach women how to change their diets and lifestyles so that breast cancer never develops in the first place. In fact, the strategy of the cancer industry today can be best described as waiting for women to get cancer, then treating it with toxic drugs that just happen to generate huge profits for pharmaceutical companies.

Researchers at the Nordic Cochrane Center in Denmark studied 500,000 women to determine the results of breast cancer screening programs. They found that for every one woman helped by breast cancer screening, ten were harmed through false diagnosis or unnecessary treatments that devastated their health. "What seems like good and obvious advice in everyday life is not always scientifically or medically sound", said Peter Gotzsche, MD, director of the center. "So we might say there is a benefit of one but a harm of 10 from screening for breast cancer." You can read more about that story at www.

But even if Trudeau got on camera and told the most blatant lies in the world about weight loss, they would pale in comparison to the massive lies being told to the American public today about everything from breast cancer screening (a massive cancer recruiting scam) to high cholesterol (another huge scam designed to sell statin drugs that can kill people). ADHD is a scam to sell drugs to children, antidepressant drugs are extremely dangerous (and cause massive weight gain), and type-2 diabetes is, in fact, readily curable.

Journal of Clinical Oncology. Most breast cancer patients who choose to have their unaffected breast removed along with the diseased one say they don't regret their decision, a recent study has found. Furthermore, their quality of life equals that of women who chose not to have a preventive mastectomy, according to researchers.

"It's totally consistent with our experience with patients," she says of the survey findings. Making the decision is not easy, she adds, whatever the woman's medical history. "These are very important decisions," Smith says, and it's crucial that women go to a center that is known for its high-risk assessment programs.

Mammography actually causes breast cancer, and as previous research has shown, ten women are ultimately harmed by breast cancer screening programs for every one woman who is helped or saved by it.

An unacknowledged harm is that for up to 11 years after the initiation of breast cancer screening in women aged 40-49 years, screened women face a higher death rate from breast cancer than unscreened control women. ... We live in an era in which lip service is paid to the concept of the informed patient sharing in decision making. If we practice what we preach, physicians must let frightened women know that, even without screening, most women who get breast cancer will not die of it and that, despite screening, some women will still die of breast cancer.

The debate is worth following closely," concluded the editor of the journal, "because women are deciding about breast cancer screening, and it's our role to keep them informed as best we can." Yet it is worth remembering that "mammography screening may lead to an overdiagnosis of breast cancer—that is, the detection of a tumor that would not have become clinically detectable in the patient's lifetime."

For adults, this may mean things like periodic checkups, immunizations, breast cancer screening (mammograms) for women, and cervical cancer screening (Pap smears) for women. It may also mean prostate cancer screening (PSA tests) for men. Pay careful attention to how health plans explain their preventive care. For example, some plans list exactly which immunizations and boosters are covered, while others just promise to cover "routine immunizations and boosters" without revealing which ones.
