A few years ago (circa 2002) I watched on TV an interview in a doctor's office, in which a medical doctor was counseling a woman and her two teenage daughters.  The mother, who looked to be about in her late 30s, had just undergone treatment for breast cancer, which involved the removal of her breasts (a double mastectomy).  That was bad enough, but the doctor was actually advising the woman that perhaps her two daughters should have their breasts removed also, as a preventive measure!  They showed this on television, and attempted to pass it off as something perfectly normal.  It was unbelievable!  This is tantamount to telling people whose mother had diabetes, and had two legs amputated, that perhaps they should consider having their legs amputated at, say 13 years of age, or so.  This is truly medicine OUT OF CONTROL!  They say that truth is stranger than fiction; well this is one prime example of that.

 

     Another form of prevention, supposedly, is the mammogram.  Unfortunately, even though low dose radiation is used, the effect of the radiation is cumulative, since the radiation stays in the body for thousands of years after the person dies.  In other words, there is a buildup of radiation in the body.  In addition to that, the current belief in many scientific circles is that even low dose radiation is very harmful, when it is anything above the normal levels of radiation that the human body has become accustomed to over the years of human life on this planet.  The well known magazine, National Geographic, published a very informative article on radiation back in the late 1990s, in which they talk about  the shift in thinking in the scientific community regarding low dose radiation.  The bottom line is that mammographies are not a woman's friend, as each one blasts the body with a cumulative dose of radiation that not only damages cells, but undermines the human immune system little by little.  Ionizing radiation, as it is known, is not anyone's friend, in any man made form, whether via mammograms, cell phones, microwave ovens, atomic bombs, or other any other form.

 

     As mentioned above, mastectomies are now being used as both a preventive to breast cancer and a treatment. There is another treatment however, that is equally bad, and it is called chemotherapy.  The problem with both these approaches is that they seek to destroy the cancer, and they destroy the body in the process, instead of seeking to heal the cancer, and heal the body.  It is a well known fact that people who survive radiation and chemotherapy often die within a few years from the effects of the radiation in the body, which as mentioned above, destroys the immune system, and does not leave the body.  As a result people get recurring infections until the point at which the antibiotic medications no longer serve to kill the attacking organisms, and the person succumbs to death from pneumonia, or some other potentially fatal infection.  Another very serious side effect of both chemotherapy and radiation therapy is damage to the peristaltic action of the gastrointestinal tract.  Muscles in the intestines push the food along the more than 30 feet that make up the gastrointestinal tract.  These muscles become permanently damaged by these treatments for cancer.  As a result, people who survive the treatment often suffer severe constipation.  This leads to heavy use of laxatives in most cases, and creates a dependency on them, known clinically as 'Lazy Stomach'.  This is extremely serious, because the gastrointestinal tract basically stops functioning, as it comes to depend on the laxatives, which wash the food through the body.  Since nutrients are not absorbed by the body because of the laxatives, what follows next is severe anemia, which itself can be life threatening.  This, combined with an already permanently weakened immune system, spells the end for many.
