 That's why there's the big push for mammograms, by the way. mammograms actually cause breast cancer because they emit so much radiation. Dr. John Gofman, author of Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease, says that 83 percent of all breast cancer is actually caused by mammograms and other forms of medical radiation. (Read more about the uselessness of mammograms here.)
Yet there's always this breast cancer prevention push, and there's a message that if you don't get mammograms, you're not taking care of your health. |

 If breast cancer was prevented by mammograms, most middle-class white women wouldn't have breast cancer at all! Let me state this bluntly: mammograms do not prevent breast cancer. They only recruit breast cancer patients. In fact, mammograms actually cause breast cancer because they emit radiation and cause DNA damage in breast cells! See http://www.newstarget.com/019477.html
To claim that black women only need more mammograms and more chemotherapy is nothing less than a grand medical deception. |

 A 1997 report by the American National Cancer Institute stated that mammograms showed no mortality benefit unless women in their 40s had been followed for 10 years. Other studies have shown that women who have mammograms suffer about the same rates of death due to breast cancer as women who do not have mammograms. Despite the fact that over 90 percent of the abnormalities discovered by mammography have been benign (not cancerous), 63 percent of U.S. women in their 40s keep having a mammogram every one or two years. |

 EPT increases the proliferation of breast cells, breast pain, and density of mammograms. ET only does this to a lesser degree. In fact, it is possible that EPT may interfere with the radiological interpretation of mammograms. (Other research has shown that women who take EPT and acquire breast cancer get diagnosed earlier on mammograms and have less invasive disease, smaller tumors, and better outcomes.)
Osteoporosis. Both ET and EPT reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures. For women who have osteoporosis or are at high risk for fractures, ET/EPT is a treatment option. |

Why do you think mammograms are so heavily pushed by organized medicine? It's because if you come up with a positive, they've got drugs to treat breast cancer. |

 I can't wait to see what headlines will come next:
"Prescription Drugs That Killed Patients Found Innocent Since Patients Did Not Come Back to Life After the Drugs Were Removed"
Or:
"Radiation From mammograms Found Harmless Because Death Rates Continued to Climb Even After Mammography was Halted"
Or my favorite: "Ephedra Herb Banned After Ten Deaths; Drugs Are Safer Because They Only Kill 100,000 Americans a Year"
I'm beginning to wonder if all the journalists have been injected with mercury. |

 Fact #5: Virtually all the "prevention" programs you see today (such as free mammograms or other screening programs) are little more than cleverly disguised patient recruitment schemes. They use free screenings to scare people into agreeing to expensive and often unnecessary treatments that enrich drug companies. Breast cancer mammography is a complete scam: The machines actually cause cancer!
Fact #6: Doctors know virtually nothing about nutrition and are still not taught nutrition in medical schools. |

 Don't support pink products, and don't be fooled into getting annual mammograms (which actually cause cancer, by the way). Think before you pink! And get more sunlight and vitamin D. That's the single most powerful thing you can do to prevent breast cancer, other than perhaps quitting smoking. But if you don't smoke already, getting sunlight and vitamin D is the single most important thing you can do to prevent cancer, period!

| Or maybe they weren't interested in reading a report that didn't recommend more mammograms...)
Perhaps they have zero nutritional knowledge to begin with and aren't interested in learning anything new from someone else. Or maybe they're all just so steeped in mammography and chemotherapy (the vast majority of panel participants work in conventional oncology) that they are intellectually unable to acknowledge the value of any healing modality outside their own areas of expertise.
One thing is certain: They sure didn't invite any nutritionists to the task force. |

 Don't submit to mammograms, either, since they actually cause cancer!
3) Don't ever give financial support to prominent cancer non-profits, which are almost universally allied with drug companies and radiology equipment manufacturers.
4) Don't get suckered into visiting an oncologist. Using fear, intimidation and authority, they will lure you into an extremely harmful system of treatments that are dangerous to human health. Instead, visit naturopathic physicians only (N.D.). |

| By combining their ignorance into a "Task Force," they have managed to create a pompous-sounding document that purports to explain why black women die from breast cancer at much higher rates than white women; yet all they've really created is a self-serving presentation of medical myths grounded upon the false belief that breast cancer is essentially caused by a deficiency in mammograms.
In 113 pages of text containing 37 recommendations for how to solve the breast cancer problem with black women, there is not a single mention of vitamin D. |

So mammograms are touted as "prevention", and we now have all these celebrities running around urging everyone, "Go get screened for cancer! Come on, rush on in there! Put yourself in the machine, get irradiated and find out if you have a cancerous tumor in there."
So, let me pose a question: If the double mastectomy becomes an accepted prevention procedure, would celebrities recommend that women go in and have their breasts removed? Imagine this public service announcement: "Hi, I'm a famous actress. |

OVERVIEW OF ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS
The fundamental goals of an alternative approach to menopause are to provide relief from common menopausal symptoms and to prevent and/or treat osteoporosis, heart disease, and other diseases of aging. The goal is to do this with methods that do not increase the risk of life-threatening diseases such as breast cancer, blood clots, and strokes.
In order to accomplish these fundamental goals, the menopausal woman and her practitioner must embrace an individualized approach. |

| If you have cancer or wish to prevent it, make certain to avoid the following things: Chlorinated water; fluoridated water; pesticides and other chemical toxins as found in non-organic foods, commercial beauty products, chemical hair dyes, chemical shampoos and skin lotions; unnatural makeup products; artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame and Splenda; exposure to ionizing radiation (X-rays, mammograms, etc.); alcohol; cigarettes; sunscreens; microwave ovens; pharmaceutical drugs. (Almost all drugs are toxic for the body and can contribute to or directly cause cancer. |
| Having breast implants and undergoing mammograms can endanger your health. I have received many letters from women who have or had silicone breast implants that ruptured. One woman had this to say: "... I have had them for 23 years with no problems. Then they started to leak. The way I knew was I had pain in my chest and numbness and tingling down my arms. I got them out as quickly as possible and did not replace them. The doctor told me that it was a bad rupture and I had silicone in my lymph nodes and chest, and he could only clean up so much of it because it is like glue. |
| Given the powerful cancer-inducing effects of mammograms, there is little if any benefit having a yearly mammogram.
Prevention of breast cancer does not begin with having a mammogram; it starts with taking active responsibility for one's body and mind. It can be said that most natural foods have a cancer preventive effect, and this includes food. Commenting on a recently released study on the prevention of cancer, John Pezzuto, leader of a food research group at the University of Illinois in Chicago, U.S.A, said, "... |
| A large body of research suggests that mammograms may be only marginally more effective (if at all) than physical exams in detecting breast cancer. So why use a method that can exacerbate a disease unnecessarily? Mammography is a major-league moneymaker for hospitals, doctors and cancer clinics nationwide. The unsuspecting women believe that the screening reduces their risk of death from breast cancer by 50-75 percent! In truth, according to research conducted by the U.S. |
| For one thing, mammograms are of very limited effectiveness because they seem only to be able to detect tumors of a size that is large enough to signify a rather advanced stage of cancer.
What is most disturbing about this diagnostic method is the excessive compression of the breast that is required during a routine mammogram. To produce good pictures and to avoid being sued for missing a tumor, the technician squeezes the breast extra hard. Squeezing can rupture internal tissue, including tumor tissue. |

 Increased anxiety about breast cancer after false positive mammograms has been observed in both short-term and long-term follow-ups of screened women. Women who underwent a surgical biopsy as the result of a false positive mammogram screening "were more likely to report their work-up as a stressful experience than those who did not have a biopsy." So wrote members of the 1996 Task Force, in a statement of the obvious. This anxiety persisted long after the positive test was identified as false. |

| To claim that black women only need more mammograms and more chemotherapy is nothing less than a grand medical deception. Didn't anyone think to ask the obvious question about differences between white women and black women? Skin pigmentation! Darker skin blocks UV light. Less light means lower vitamin D production, and that means faster tumor growth. Is this so difficult for conventionally-trained medical doctors to understand? |

| Although they have a high risk of developing another malignancy, only one in three breast cancer survivors gets mammograms as recommended during the five years after their diagnosis, researchers report.
THE STUDY
When researchers reviewed mammography use in 797 women older than age 55 who had been treated for breast cancer, they found that in the first year after treatment, 80% of the women had gotten a mammogram. But only 63% of the women had gotten a mammogram in the fifth year after treatment began. |

 Breast exams and mammograms: Every woman should practice a monthly self-examination of her breasts. If you find any kind of change—a lump, dimpling of the skin, a swelling, an unexplained discharge from the nipples, or a rash—contact your doctor. In addition to self-exams, women should get a yearly breast examination by a health-care professional. And women over forty should receive mammograms as directed by their doctors.
Colon and rectal exams: If you're fifty or older, your doctor should give you a digital rectal exam (DRE) every year. |

 Despite these efforts and major technical progress on several fronts, no major change in how mammograms should be read and reviewed ever happened.
Because of what was called the Defense Department peace dividend, financial allocations were being shifted to peacetime activities. The secret slogan of the breast cancer activists who campaigned for a major program of research within Defense was, "Better boobs than bombs." Given the growing numbers of women in the military and the shrewd tactics of Sen. Alfonse D'Amato and Sen. Tom Harkin, breast cancer was seen as a matter of national defense. |
