Mammography is touted as the best way for women to protect themselves from breast cancer.  Is this really the case?  It appears that, once again, we are being subjected to propaganda, media spin and an agenda of protecting corporate profits at the expense of cancer patients and unsuspecting victims of Big Pharma and related entities.  This video is about 10 minutes.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) vigorously promotes mammography as a woman’s best way to fight breast cancer while scaring up women with fears of contracting the disease.   It is reported that mammograms are not very accurate.  In fact, they have approximately a 70% failure rate!  The Nordic Cochrane Center reports that about 7,000 women per year are improperly diagnosed with breast cancer, which leads to unnecessary treatments. continue reading…

There have been reports and articles that discuss the practice of mammography.  It is alleged that there has been overscreening for breast cancer and conflicts of interests on major boards.  Five radiologists have served as presidents of the American Cancer Society (ACS).  The ACS has a great tendency to promote the interests of the manufacturers of mammogram devices and films, which included Siemens, Piker, General Electric, DuPont and Eastman Kodak.

Dr. Samuel S. Epstein and Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D report that the mammography industry conducts research for the ACS and its grantees, serves on advisory boards, and makes large donations to it.  They do all sorts of promotional things for ACS.  In short, ACS is very strongly linked with the mammography industry, while attacking and ignoring breast self examination, procedures that don’t produce profits for the cancer industry. continue reading…

There are arguments on both sides of the issue.  On the one hand, doctors recommend that early detection of tumors gives a better chance at survival.  But others say that the mammogram is dosing the patient with radiation.  It would appear that the scientific studies are inconclusive.  In the final analysis, it is a personal, individual decision that each person has to make.  But it should be an informed decision where the person has both sides of the story.

From the conventional perspective, it makes sense to get as early a diagnosis of breast cancer as possible.  This gives the medical professionals more time to fight the cancer.  It gives the patient advanced information that can enable her to take action against the cancer. continue reading…
