Your Greatest Weapon Against Breast Cancer (NOT Mammograms!)

Read the full article Here.

Yet another medical preventative measure is shown to cause more harm than good. How does this happen?
(Hmmm - a "great idea" turns into a great investment opportunity. They get some 'authority' to speak highly
of the technology - and to convey the mantra "everybody needs this." And the more professionals that buy
into it, the fewer question it. Then one day someone decides to test the assumptions, and uh oh! And how
many have suffered because they trusted an "authority" rather than their own intuitions and bodies?)

ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS:

• The Institute of Medicine is finally acknowledging the toxic effects of mammogram radiation
as a significant factor in the development of breast cancer; just one mammogram can expose
you to the radiation equivalent of 1,000 chest x-rays.

• Mammograms also carry an unacceptably high rate of false positives — up to six percent —
which can lead to repeat screenings that expose you to even more radiation, as well as unnecessary
medical procedures, including biopsies, surgery, and chemotherapy.

• A new study in the British Medical Journal highlights losses in quality of life related to the high
rates of false positives and unnecessary treatment associated with breast cancer screening.

• Mammograms have been scientifically proven not to save women’s lives, and do not improve
breast cancer survival rates over annual physical examination alone.

• Your immune system is your greatest weapon against breast cancer; research now shows that
30 percent of breast tumors go away on their own, because a healthy immune system is so adept
at eradicating cancer.
