Important Message for Women Between the Ages of 30 and 50

The most devastating loss of life from breast cancer impacts women between the ages of 30 and 50. For women between the ages of 40 and 44, breast cancer is the leading cause of death, according to the American Cancer Society. Yet the November 10, 2003 issue of the AMA journal, American Medical News, reports little evidence documenting that mammography saves lives for premenopausal women, which are many of the women who fall into these age ranges. (1)




 

Did you know even though health officials recommend all women over 40 get a
mammogram every 1-2 years, there is no solid evidence mammograms save
lives?

It’s true.

And to make matters worse, the health hazards of mammography have been well
established.

In fact, John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D. – a nuclear physicist and a medical doctor, and
one of the leading experts in the world on the dangers of radiation – presents
compelling evidence in his book, Radiation from Medical Procedures in the
Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease
, that...

Over 50 Percent of the Death Rate From Cancer is Induced by X-Rays

The reality is reducing exposure to medical radiation such as unnecessary mammograms would likely reduce mortality rates.

What’s more, false diagnoses of breast cancer are very common – as high as 89 percent – leading many women to be unnecessarily and harmfully treated by mastectomy, more radiation and chemotherapy.

So why is there such a push towards screening mammograms?

Because it’s become a billion dollar a year business – one that appears to be more motivated by profits than helping its patients.

Here’s a loose estimate of the money the medical establishment rakes in on mammograms every year:

$100 average cost per screening
x 65 million U.S. women aged 40 or over
= $6.5 billion dollars per year

Add to that a few million $1,000+ biopsies and it becomes clear that annual mammography screenings for women 40 years and older is at least a $10 billion dollar per year industry.

In fact, according to Barbara Brenner, Executive Director of the San Francisco-based Breast Cancer Action advocacy group and herself a breast cancer survivor.


The United States Public Campaign to Eradicate Breast Cancer has Not
Focused on Prevention, but Largely on Efforts to Promote Mammography
Screening

Of course, there are instances where mammography may be warranted. But the truth is there are other technologies that are proven to be more effective, less expensive and completely harmless, that can save far more lives... that your doctor isn’t telling you about.

It makes me livid. If you’re a woman, there’s a one in eight chance that you’ll develop breast cancer during your lifetime. And despite the fact that reducing exposure to medical radiation such as unnecessary mammograms would likely reduce mortality rates, the American cancer society is promoting mammography to the exclusion of most other screening devices.


 

It’s time someone stepped forward and shouted the truth about mammograms. It’s time we all started to question the motives of traditional medical establishments and organizations like the American Cancer Society. And that’s why I’d like to send you a copy of this free report – to walk you through all the options available and introduce you to a non-invasive, painless and utterly risk-free process which allows you to detect future breast cancer up TEN years before your doctor is able to feel a suspicious lump in your breast...

FREE Report: The Safe Breast Cancer Screening Test Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About


In 2002, cancer overtook heart disease as the number one killer of Americans under the age of 85. This trend is expected to continue, and in another ten years – by 2018 – cancer will be the number one killer of all Americans, young and old alike.

The American Cancer Society estimates that over 270,000 women will die of cancer in 2008 – 40,000 from breast cancer alone.

The ACS also estimates that in 2008, 745,000 men and 692,000 women will be diagnosed with cancer. Of the women diagnosed, over a quarter will be found to have breast cancer. Knowing this...

If you answered yes, then I am going to show you exactly how to do it in my limited supply, new free 16 page “Breast Cancer Consumer Awareness” report that reveals the dangers of mammography and the benefits of a safe breast cancer screening test called thermography.

Your doctor probably hasn’t told you about it, but a suspicious finding via thermography is the single most important indicator of high risk for breast cancer. And an astounding 95 percent of early stage breast cancers are diagnosed when this non-invasive, painless and utterly risk-free process is used in a multi-modal approach to detection and treatment.

Using thermography instead of mammography could mean the difference between overturning your boat in shark-infested waters, life preserver in hand, outcome unknown… and learning how to keep your boat upright so that you never need a life preserver in the first place.
