Mammograms vs Thermography

Dear Ladies,

Is it any wonder that nowadays more and more women globally are having
Breast Cancer. The coincidence is, more and more organisations, doctors
and government hospitals are pushing women to go for mammograms.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES.


Be aware!

Mammograms - ladies, please note it for health reasons and send them to
other ladies that you know and gentlemen, please disseminate this email to
all the ladies in your lives

Well for starters mammograms expose your body to radiation that can be
1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray,which poses risks of
cancer. Mammography also compresses your breasts tightly, and often
painfully, which could lead to a lethal spread of cancerous cells, should
they exist.

"The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1
radiation exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with
a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade's
screening," points out Dr. Samuel Epstein, one of the top cancer experts.

Dr. Epstein, M.D., professor emeritus of Environmental and Occupational
Medicine at the University of Illinois School of Public Health , and
chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, has been speaking out about
the risks of mammography since at least 1992.

As for how these misguided mammography guidelines came about, Epstein
says:

"They were conscious, chosen, politically expedient acts by a small group
of people for the sake of their own power, prestige and financial gain,
resulting in suffering and death for millions of women. They fit the
classification of "crimes against humanity.""

Not surprisingly, as often happens when anyone dares speak out against
those in power, both the American Cancer Society and NCI called Dr.
Epstein's findings "unethical and invalid."

But this didn't stop others from speaking out as well. In July 1995, The
Lancet again wrote about mammograms, saying "The benefit is marginal, the
harm caused is substantial, and the costs incurred are enormous ..."

Dr. Charles B. Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and
pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute, said, "Mammograms increase
the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk of spreading or
metastasizing an existing growth."

"The high sensitivity of the breast, especially in young women, to
radiation-induced cancer was known by 1970. Nevertheless, the
establishment then screened some 300,000 women with Xray
dosages so high as to increase breast cancer risk by up to 20 percent in
women aged 40 to 50 who were mammogramed annually," wrote Dr. Epstein.

Safe Screening Methods do Exist: The Benefits of Thermography

But you're not likely to hear about them from your general practitioner.
" ... The establishment ignores safe and effective alternatives to
mammography, particularly trans illumination with infrared scanning,"

Dr. Epstein points out. Most physicians continue to recommend mammograms
for fear of being sued by a woman who develops breast cancer after which
he did not advise her to get one. But I encourage you to think for
yourself and consider safer, more effective alternatives to mammograms.

The option for breast screening that I most highly recommend is called
thermography.

Thermographic breast screening is brilliantly simple. It measures the
radiation of infrared heat from your body and translates this information
into anatomical images. Your normal blood circulation is under the control
of your autonomic nervous system, which governs your body functions.

Thermography uses no mechanical pressure or ionizing radiation, and can
detect signs of breast cancer years earlier than either mammography or a
physical exam.

Mammography cannot detect a tumor until after it has been growing for
years and reaches a certain size.

Thermography is able to detect the possibility of breast cancer much
earlier, because it can image the early stages of angiogenesis (the
formation of a direct supply of blood to cancer cells, which is a
necessary step before they can grow into tumors of size).
