BEWARE! This is the month that enslavement of women is tightened up by the propaganda of the medical establishment every year.
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute released a finding that breast self-exams are not effective at the beginning of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month three years ago. They concluded that women should get a mammogram every year starting at age 40.
NOW, WAIT JUST A COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE …
Self-serving?
Yet there was a great outcry to NOT have annual mammograms until the age of 50 because those starting at age 40 had a greater increase of radiation exposure than there was benefit derived.
Can you guess from where the leading voice against this outcry has come? It has come from the same institution that issued the report noted above that breast self-exams are not effective.
Plot o' gold?
Supposedly ineffective breast self-exams (that cost NOTHING) should no longer be promoted, but ineffective mammograms (that cost $$$$ … x-ray … x-ray tech … doctor visit … return visit … etc.) should be promoted? Does it sound like the pot calling the kettle black?
The study noted above expressed concern that breast self-exams MIGHT result in women finding more benign tumors, which could lead to more biopsies and higher healthcare costs.
However, a Harvard Medical University study reported that mammograms DEFINITELY result in added FALSE positives with more biopsies and higher healthcare costs (Journal of General Internal Medicine 2001;16:150-156, Dr. Mary B. Barton of Harvard Medical School and her colleagues). Other studies since have affirmed this.
The plot thickens
The amazing John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D., worked for decades at Livermore Laboratories (the chief radiation studies lab in the world). He was part of the Manhattan Project that created the atomic bomb. He discovered several of the radioactive isotopes of uranium. Nobody alive has more or better experience or credentials about radiation than Dr. Gofman.
The Atomic Energy Commission hired Dr. Gofman AWAY from Lawrence Livermore in the 1960s to head up studies on the effects of radiation. He gave them his initial results in 1969 and they fired him.
Dr. Gofman reported that radiation was a serious concern for the people in America. He encouraged that all nuclear reactors should be discontinued. He concluded that X-rays were far too common and seriously questioned how appropriately they were used.
Dr. Gofman has written that x-rays (such as in mammography) are the cause of 75% of all breast cancers after further study!
Stirring the plot
Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) is one of the world's foremost authorities on the mineral nutrient selenium. He has been chairman at two world conferences on selenium. He stated in the 1970s that if every American woman took 200 micrograms of selenium every day that breast cancer would dramatically decline in only a few years time.
One of the things that selenium does is protect against the effects of radiation.
Why are scientists and media not promoting this information? Hmmm?
