Cancer is a scary word for many, but it is BIG business for pharmaceutical companies. Read and see what YOU think. I have no financial interest of any sort in Ms. Sellman's books or other products, I simply want to make available the opportunity to know the truth behind some of the companies, products, and marketing plans involved in the selling of Cancer to the American public. Every October since 1985, pink ribbons are displayed in posters, magazine advertisements, and proudly adorn women's lapels heralding Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The multitudes of runs, hikes, walks, and other fund raising events raise hundred of millions of dollars to conquer that dreaded scourge of the modern woman, breast cancer.
Popular celebrities lead the charge.
Each year 180,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 44,000 will die of the disease. The US has one of the highest breast cancer rates in the world. Fifty years ago the incidence of Breast Cancer for a woman's life time risk was one in twenty. Now it has skyrocketed to one in eight. Clearly the so-called war on cancer has not even made a dent in the breast cancer epidemic as the rates continue to climb at the rate of one per cent per year.
