When should women start screening for breast cancer? The more valid question is “when will women wake up to a world without breast cancer?” Also when will women have safe information they can rely on instead of wading through the massive media campaigns by the health industry.
The drug industry controls the medical industry which includes promoting mammogram machines, radiation treatment machines, chemotherapy drugs and basically comprises the “Cancer Industry”. You will be hearing more in the days ahead about the safety of mammograms which is just not true and they are not effective in breast cancer screening.
The US Preventive Services Task Force ( USPSTF) yesterday November 16, 2009 issued new breast cancer screening guidelines and the new recommendations are:
Stop the use of mammograms before the age of 50 years old and suggest
Screening stop at age 74 years of age. The problem is they didn’t go far enough in safer more effective screening tools such as:
1) Using MRI’s is safer and not doing mammograms for testing
2) Encouraging breast self exam which is highly effective in detection.
3) Using ultrasound, less invasive and damaging tests reducing radiation.
4) design a diet prevention program for all women who are at risk.
Physically a woman is far better at detection than her doctor or a machine and a higher percentage of women will find their own lumps. Yet the medical community discourages breast self exam which is opposite to what really works.
As the medical-Pharma community have been advocating yearly mammograms this has caused more damage than benefit and breast self-exam is effective.
In just the past 50 years breast cancer has become an epidemic and has become the number one killer for women next to heart diseases. The studies of mammogram machines reveals the following:
1) The tests have not improved detection rates
2) The mammogram tests do more harm than good- in radiation to the breast.
3) There is approximately 40 pounds of pressure
The co-relation of cancer causing vaccines and cancer later in life is quite a strong link because it sets up a baby literally for a permanently damaged immune system. You wonder why cancer is an epidemic and you have to overhaul your vaccine ingredients and stop vaccinating with the current chemicals.
Breast cancer screening has to be done at the very first instance and that means breast self exam is the “only” way women would discover a tumor. Health professionals have it wrong in their communication that self exam does not work which is preposterous and dangerous information.
The public should get clearer guidelines not what sells more products for the Cancer Industry namely expensive radiation caused by mammogram machines . Making profits at the expense of woman’s lives has to stop now. Here are the new recommendations for radiation mammograms:
Ages 40 to 49 Mammograms only if at risk
Ages 50 -74 Mammograms – every 2 years
Ages 60-69 Mammograms – have the greatest benefit
The old guideline of self exam is what saved lives women find their own tumors. Also the old guidelines were using mammograms for any women 20 years of age and up -every year. The point is cancer now strikes at any age and babies are being diagnosed with cancer at earlier ages so this study is not correctly presenting the number of women being diagnosed with breast cancer. For women using birth control drugs they are at greater risks for cancer at the age group of 20 to 45 years of age.
Big bodies of science telling women not to find their own tumors is repulsive to more women who are becoming increasingly pro-active against the stupidity of these guidelines. The yield is very high on monthly self exams and why would a women wait for their yearly check up to find a tumor? This just doesn’t make any sense at all and self exam is the best defense which should be promoted rather than denying the benefits.
The family history theory doesn’t hold water today because “every women” who has ever been vaccinated “is at risk” for breast cancer. Physicians and insurance company’s are at odds with the new guidelines and in the midst of a Health Care Reform bill many claim that the government is trying to “reduce costs” putting women at greater risk. This finding does not promote any prevention techniques at all and does not go far enough in the prevention of and causes of breast cancer. The guidelines also do not mention alternative health benefits in preventing and curing breast cancers which have been proven.
“The accompanying updated evidence review on breast cancer screening looked at published studies identified from a search of Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews through the fourth quarter of 2008, MEDLINE January 2001 to December 2008, and bibliographies of identified articles. Also reviewed were Web of Science searches and Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium for screening mammography data.
“Mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality for women aged 39 to 69 years; data are insufficient for older women,” write Heidi D. Nelson, MD, MPH, from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, and colleagues. “False-positive mammography results and additional imaging are common. No benefit has been shown for CBE or BSE.”

The firestorm of debates that these findings will cause plus the anxiety from women is the final straw. It is almost as if the so called experts are discouraging self exam which is a prevention measure and encouraging less use of radiation damage from mammogram machines which is a positive change for the better. However the study does not recommend safer testing such as: ultrasound tests, Thermography and MRI imaging which are far less damaging to a women’s body.
Dr. Heidi Nelson was a participant in the study and she is a research professor at the Oregon Health Sciences University as well as Daniel B. Kopans professor of radiology at Harvard.
The study fails to determine where the money will be spent on cancer prevention and actually cancer therapies that work such as alternative medicine. Many doctors who are actually curing breast, prostate, pancreatic and brain tumors are succeeding at conquering cancer not prolonging the diseases for profit.
Suzanne Somers recently came under fire for discussing her new book “Knockout” where she investigated valuable information on cancer research that actually is working and the question is “how long are we prolonging giving funds to the Cancer Industry” and how long is the cure for cancer -being kept from Americans.
