Cancer Society Has Financial Ties to Mammography: "“Routine mammography delivers an unrecognized high dose of radiation, warn Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition. and Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D. of the International Physicians for Humanitarian Medicine.
If a woman follows the current guidelines for premenopausal screening, over a 10 year period she would receive a total dosage of about 5 rads. This approximates the level of exposure to radiation of a Japanese woman one mile from the epicenter of atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki.”"
Here is the beef: Five radiologists have served as presidents of the American Cancer Society (ACS). In its every move, the ACS promotes the interests of the major manufacturers of mammogram machines and films, including Siemens, DuPont, General Electric, Eastman Kodak, and Piker.
This bias hypes mammography, which Dr. Epstein and Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D. of the International Physicians for Humanitarian Medicine emphasize is an avoidable cause of breast cancer.
"The mammography industry conducts research for the ACS and its grantees, serves on its advisory boards, and donates considerable funds," they warn. "DuPont, a major producer of mammography machines, also is a substantial backer of the ACS Breast Health Awareness Program; sponsors television shows and other media productions touting ACS literature for hospitals, clinics, medical organization, and doctors; produces educational films; and aggressively lobbies Congress for legislation promoting the nationwide availability of mammography services."
ACS promotion continues to lure women of all ages into mammography centers, leading them to believe that mammography is their best hope against breast cancer. A leading Massachusetts newspaper featured a photograph of two women in their twenties in an ACS advertisement that promised early detection results in a cure "nearly 100 percent of the time."
An ACS communications director, questioned by journalist Kate Dempsey, admitted in an article published by the Massachusetts Women's Community's journal Cancer, "The ad isn't based on a study. When you make an advertisement, you just say what you can to get women in the door. You exaggerate a point...Mammography today is a lucrative [and] highly competitive business."
Not surprisingly, the prestigious Chronicle of Philanthropy, the leading charity watch dog, has warned that the ACS "is more interested in accumulating wealth than saving lives."
Screening mammography should be phased out in favor of annual clinical breast examination, (CBE), by a trained nurse and monthly breast self examination (BSE), also following training by a trained nurse. This is an effective, safe, and low-cost alternative, to diagnostic mammography, the Drs Epstein and Bartell advise.
"Such action is all the more critical and overdue in view of the still poorly recognized evidence that mammography does not lead to decreased breast cancer mortality," they say.
Drs. Epstein and Bertell envision nationwide networks of BSE and CBE clinics, staffed by trained nurses, saying, "These low-cost clinics would also empower women by providing them with scientific evidence on the risks of breast cancer, and also on its prevention."
In summary, ACS; heavily influenced by radiologists serving as President, Directors and advisors to ACS, promotes mammography,providing massive products to the industry, despite its lack of proof of its effectiveness and considerable danger to women.
The Industry then puts money into the pockets of the American Cancer Society. Case Closed!

I hope none of my regular readers are surprised by this posting. It only provides more proof to what we have alleged in the past. All of the major disease support associations are Big Pharma, Medical Mafia fronts. They are money grubbing, criminal enterprises preying on the sick and their families and supporters for money by promoting the food and pharmaceutical industries that are making Trillions off of us by making us sick and them plying us with expensive, ineffective, dangerous drugs.
Case in point, the Susan B. Kagan foundation (Go Pink, Fight Breast Cancer!)recently launched a joint promotion with Kentucky Fried Chicken (Pink buckets of chicken!) whose main product is a major producer of free radicals in the body which damage cells and contribute to cancer. The Foundation got $1 Million out of the scandalous deal.
The American Diabetes Association recently linked its own deal with the devil, signing a marketing agreement with Cadbury Schwepps, maker of sugary sodas and candies.
The ADA will allow cadbury to place the ADA's logo on its diet sodas, implying the
ADA's recommendation of these sodas to diabetics.
The idea that the ADA would encourage its hapless supporters to drink unhealthy, acidic, aspertame (a proven neurotoxin) containing soft drinks, proves the point that the ADA, like the other disease support groups, will throw their members under the bus in return for the Bucks!

UCLA Study Reveals Amazing Benefits of Grape Seed Extract!
UC Davis study shows grape seed extract may be effective in reducing blood pressure
Promising results prompt second human clinical study Grape seed extract lowered the blood pressure of patients who participated in a UC Davis study of the benefits of the supplement on people with high blood pressure.
Conducted by UC Davis cardiovascular researchers, the study was the first human clinical trial to assess the effect of grape seed extract on people with metabolic syndrome, a combination of risk factors that increase the risk for heart disease, including high blood pressure, excess abdominal body weight, high blood cholesterol fats and high blood sugar. The researchers will present the results at the American Chemical Society Meeting and Exposition on March 26 in Atlanta, and at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's 2006 meeting in San Francisco April 2.
It is estimated that 40 percent of American adults, or 50 million people, have metabolic syndrome.
The one-month study involved 24 male and female patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. The patients were divided into three groups of eight. The first group received a placebo, while the second and third groups received 150 milligrams and 300 milligrams, respectively, of a new grape seed extract. All participants' blood pressure was automatically measured and recorded for 12 hours after ingestion.
"Participants in the two groups receiving grape seed extract experienced an equal degree of reduced blood pressure. The average drop in systolic pressure was 12 millimeters. The average drop in diastolic pressure was 8 millimeters," said the study's lead researcher, C. Tissa Kappagoda, professor of cardiovascular medicine and director of the Preventive Cardiology Program at UC Davis.
Kappagoda adds that the group taking 300 milligrams of grape seed extract also had reduced serum oxidized LDL cholesterol levels.
"Generally, the higher their initial oxidized LDL level was, the greater the drop by the end of the study," he said. The extract has received the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) certification from the FDA and has no known side effects.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Wow! These reductions of blood pressure were essentially equal to the effect of many dangerous prescription drugs.
According to the research done by Dr Joe Mercola, along with their benefits for blood pressure and cholesterol, grape seeds are also known to be a powerful antioxidant.
Antioxidant protection helps protect your body from premature aging, disease and decay. Antioxidants are needed to neutralize free radicals, which play a major role in the development of degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, strokes and aging.
The antioxidant capacity of grape seed extract comes from proanthocyanidins. Scientific studies have shown that the antioxidant power of proanthocyanidins is 20 times stronger than vitamin C and 50 times stronger than vitamin E.
Another incredible benefit of grape seeds are their cancer fighting ability.
Chemicals found in grape seeds inhibited the growth of colorectal tumors in both cell cultures and in mice.
Grape seed extract has already been demonstrated to have anti-cancer effects on other tumor types, as well. The extract can "freeze" cancer cells, preventing them from growing and in some cases, causes the cancer cells to self destruct.
Not all grape seed extract is equal. Your best bet is to find a grape seed extract combined with other natural antioxidants. synergy in these combinations produces a greater antioxidant effect than the individual components alone. Here is where I buy my Nutritional Supplements and recommend that you do too: Naturally Direct!

91% Of Canccer Docs Won't Take Chemotherapy!
1986, McGill Cancer Center in Montreal, one of the largest and most esteemed cancer treatment centers in the world, surveyed 64 oncologists to see how they would personally respond to a diagnosis of cancer. The results will blow your mind. Are you sitting down? Of the 64 oncologists surveyed, 58 said that...
“ALL chemotherapy programs were unacceptable to them and their family members due to the fact that the drugs don’t work and are toxic!”
That means that 91% of the oncologists surveyed would not submit themselves to the same protocols that they prescribe to their patients! Why?
Well for one, the fact tha 98% of chemotherapy victims die from the treatment and that 75% of the oncologists income comes from markups of the chemotherapy poison they prescribe for their patients may havew something to do with their decision.
If you would like to know how to cure cancer with NO DRUGS, click here and listen to Jimmy's remarkable story of surviving Stage 4 Prostate cancer After he had been given 3 weeks to live by his doctor. You will never guess what saved his life--
