Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth, says Dr. Charles B. Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute. Safer and even more effective diagnostic techniques like infrared thermography, has been vigorously attacked by the breast cancer awareness organizations. It is also noteworthy to point out that General Electric, a major polluter in PCB s in Hudson River, New York manufactures mammography machines. So all the hullabaloo that comes each October, enlisting women s support and hard-earned cash, does nothing to really eliminate the cause of this devastating disease. Instead, women s heartfelt desires and good intentions to find the cause and cure are usurped by the hidden agendas of major transnational corporations pushing their toxic drug treatments and diagnostic tools that actually create even more breast cancer.
Women can make the difference in eliminating breast cancer.
The breast cancer epidemic is not some great mystery. The causes of cancer are already known. Toxic diets, toxic lifestyles, toxic environments, toxic drug treatments and toxic diagnostic techniques cause cancer. Corporations are only interested in increasing their profits and ensuring their tentacles of control, not in actual solutions. When it comes to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, women must invest their time and money into other projects, initiatives and treatments that will truly create change.
