Mammograms enter the depths of deceit

 

I thought you may be interested in this information, Mammograms are very

controversial and have become useless since the studies were flawed, take a look

below what is replacing it, let me know if you need more information, I have

plenty on this subject. Cancer - Company Reports Initial Success with Breast

Cancer Blood Test

******************************** Mammography Enters the Depths of Deceit Barry

Lynes

 

The great deceit began in the early 1970s. It was concocted by insiders at the

American Cancer Society (ACS) and their " friends " at the National Cancer

Institute (NCI).

 

The number of women who were put " at risk " or who died as a result of this

nefarious scheme is not known but estimated to be huge.

 

The Director of the NCI at the time of this massive abuse of the public trust

later left government service and took a high paying position at ACS

(sort of a payoff).

 

The American Cancer Society's self serving program (financial scheme) continues

to the present day (1999) and probably into the 21st century until enough women

realize the stakes and force an end to the lie and the terrible dangers.

 

The American Cancer Society (ACS) particularly wanted to push mammography

because it could be tied in with the Society's own financial objectives

(keep in mind the ACS slogan " a check and a checkup " ). And the radiologists, of

course, loved the ACS program. There were few, if any, powerful voices

individual or institutional which cried out, " No! " or " God No! Don't do this.

NO. NO. NO. "

 

The collusive attack on healthy American women happened because " the fix was

in. "

 

Powerful politicians and the media were silent.

 

Silent as sleeping sentinels while a determined, aggressive, self serving gang

of sophisticated operatives manipulated the nation's entire cancer program to

suit its own interests. And to hell with the millions of American women who

would pay the price for the next thirty years or more, well into the 21st

century.

 

In 1978, Irwin J. D. Bross., Director of Biostatistics at Roswell Park Memorial

Institute for Cancer Research commented about the cancer screening program:

 

" The women should have been given the information about the hazards of radiation

at the same time they were given the sales talk for mammography... Doctors were

gung ho to use it on a large scale. They went right ahead and X rayed not just a

few women but a quarter of a million women... A jump to the exposure of a

quarter of a million persons to something which could do more harm than good was

criminal and it was supported by money from the federal government and the

American Cancer Society. " (P1)

 

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) was warned in 1974 by professor Malcolm C.

Pike at the University of Southern California School of Medicine that a number

of specialists had concluded that " giving a women under age 50 a mammogram on a

routine basis is close to unethical. " (P2)

 

Repeat... The experts in the government were told not to do this to healthy

women in the YEAR 1974! The warning was ignored because Mary Lasker

(whose husband was the dark advertising devil behind the Lucky Strike cigarette

advertising campaigns) and her advertising / promotional / corporate power types

at the American Cancer Society (ACS) wanted mammography. Everyone else could go

to hell. What Mary and her powerful political allies wanted in the cancer world,

they got. Everyone else, including the public, was ignored.

 

By the early 1980s, NCI and ACS were at it again. They jointly put forth new

guidelines promoting (again!) ... annual breast X Rays for women under age 50.

They just simply refused to give up their lucrative racket. (One official

candidly admitted the publicity brought in more research money for both

institutions.) They refused to do what was not in their personal, empire

building interest no matter the cost in human lives.

 

" .doctors and their patients assumed that there was good evidence supporting

those recommendations. But at the time, only one study showed positive benefit

and the results were not significant. " (P3)

 

In 1985, the respected British medical journal The Lancet, one of the five

leading medical journals in the world, published an article which ripped the

NCI-ACS propaganda to shreds. It not only (again!) exposed the original

onslaught by the high level ACS NCI conspirators in the early middle 1970s

against a quarter million unsuspecting American women, but reviled the

continuing 1980s ACS NCI propaganda.

 

" Over 280,000 women were recruited without being told that no benefit of

mammography had been shown in a controlled trial for women below 50, and without

being warned about the potential risk of induction of breast cancer by the test

which was supposed to detect it ... ... in women below

50... mammography gives no benefit... " (P4)

 

But nothing happened. Mammography was known to cause cancer but the media and

the " health officials " in the government stayed silent! The mammography policy

pushed by the American Cancer Society to fill its bank account remained the U.

S. government policy for ten more years until a massive Canadian study showed

conclusively what was known 20 YEARS before but what was not in the interests of

ACS and NCI to admit: X raying the breasts of women younger than age 50 provided

no benefit and probably endangered their lives.

 

In February 1992 Samuel Epstein, professor at the University of Illinois Medical

Center in Chicago, a tireless opponent of the " cancer establishment, " along with

64 other distinguished cancer authorities opposing the status quo thinking,

warned the public about the ACS NCI shenanigans. The ACS and NCI (like long

married felons caught in a crime together) were outraged, terming Dr. Epstein's

reference to the breast studies as " unethical and invalid. "

 

The next month, the Washington Post broke the story into the mainstream media

(finally!). It published an article by Dr. Epstein which exposed what the ACS

and their insider " friends " at NCI had done to countless women twenty years

earlier and continued for twenty years until 1992. Dr. Epstein wrote:

 

" .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 mammogrammed annually.

 

Women were given no warning whatever; how many subsequently developed breast

cancer remains uninvestigated.

 

" .Additionally, the establishment ignores safe and effective alternatives to

mammography, particularly trans illumination with infrared scanning.

 

" .For most cancers, survival has not changed for decades. Contrary claims are

based on rubber numbers. " (P5)

 

The crimes described were crimes. They were not errors of judgment. They were

not differences of scientific opinion. 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. "

 

In December of 1992, the New York Times published facts about the Mammography

scam. The story included the following:

 

" Dr. I. Craig Henderson, director of the clinical cancer center at the

University of California in San Francisco, said, 'We have to tell women the

truth' ...

 

" Dr. Robert McLelland, a radiologist at the University of North Carolina School

of Medicine, said... 'In our zeal to promote mammography, we as radiologists and

I'm one of them haven't looked at the evidence.' " (P6)

 

In July 1995, the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet blasted

(again) the whole ACS NCI mammography scam into global awareness:

 

" The benefit is marginal, the harm caused is substantial, and the costs incurred

are enormous... " (P7)

 

But the spreading knowledge of what was going on made no difference to the

bureaucrats " protecting the public " at the NCI and the FDA who had their empires

to protect. And of course the American Cancer Society (ACS) furiously fought

every attempt by those with any honor in the federal agencies who sought to

restrict the number of mammography examinations for individual women or to

extend the age at which a woman had her first one. Mammography was the American

Cancer Society's " .sacred cow " (cash cow) and they wanted legions of women to

begin having annual exams as early as the ACS could brainwash them into doing

( " a check and a checkup " ).

 

By 1999, even celebrity poet Maya Angelou was shamefully and ignorantly

promoting Mammography in public service ads on television, parroting the

American Cancer Society's propaganda spiel. Nothing had changed. Those

" protecting the public " at NCI and FDA were doing the exact opposite. They were

hiding, protecting their little empires, while American women were being

needlessly exposed to dangerous, cancer causing X rays.

 

In September 1999, the full depth of the decades long deceit was explicitly

described in an article in the journal Alternative Medicine. It would reach

relatively few mainstream American women who were being brainwashed by the

" interests " through the mainstream media and pliable state and federal

legislators representatives of the people " ) but it did provide a torch glow in a

dark night.

 

Here's the awful truth it stated baldly like a screaming American eagle to any

American woman fortunate enough to read the hard facts:

 

" .Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk

of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth,' says Dr. Charles B. Simone, a

former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the National Cancer

Institute...

 

" .the annual mammographic screening of 10,000 women aged 50-70 will extend the

lives of, at best, 26 of them; and annual screening of 10,000 women in their 40s

will extend the lives of only 12 women per year. " (P8)

 

So there's the lie and the depth of the Mammography Deceit spelled out:

mammography will extend at best 2 women's lives for 10,000 women put at risk in

order to benefit radiologists, the American Cancer Society, assorted

bureaucrats, and other " interested " parties who profit off the vast, well

organized mammography deceit when safe alternatives exist but are ignored!

 

And that brings us back to the essential issues and fundamental principles which

once guided the American nation into greatness. Which of course forces us to

look again at the cancer empire's tyranny and threat to everything once held

sacred in America.

 

The fine political thinker Hannah Arendt who studied the Nazi and Soviet

tyrannies, and wrote brilliant works on the evil at the core of fascism and

communism, scolds those of us who today surrender to the bureaucrats, conscious,

unaccountable deceits and tyrannies. Hannah Arendt's words:

 

" . Bureaucracy... the rule by Nobody. Indeed, if we identify tyranny as the

government that is not held to give account of itself, rule by Nobody is clearly

the most tyrannical of all, since there is no one left who could even be asked

to answer for what is being done.

 

" . Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of

political freedom, of the power to act. It enables him to get together with his

peers, to act in concert, and to reach for goals and enterprises which would

never enter his mind, let alone the desires of his heart, had he not been given

this gift to embark upon something new. "

 

It is time for women to try something new, such as the Thermal Image Processor

(TIP) and to toss dangerous mammography, toss the American Cancer Society, and

toss the ACS's lackeys at NCI into the dustbin of history.

New concerns over breast screening Spotting cancers: But do mammograms save

lives?

 

A fresh row has broken out over controversial claims that screening for breast

cancer may not actually be saving lives. The research was first published last

year, but has been re-examined following a series of protests from cancer

organisations over the findings. Now one of the world's leading medical

journals, The Lancet, agrees that there is not enough evidence from large-scale

trials to support breast screening. However, cancer charities and the UK cancer

screening programme disagree strongly with their verdict. At present, there is

no reliable evidence from large randomised trials to support screening

mammography programmes

 

Richard Horton, Editor, The Lancet All UK women aged between 50 and 64 are

currently offered screening once every three years. It is hoped that tumours may

be spotted earlier, making treatment more likely to provide a cure. Currently,

it is reckoned that as many as 300 lives are saved a year by breast screening -

and more recent estimates suggest this annual figure is climbing rapidly.

However, two Danish researchers from the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Copenhagen

have re-examined the seven large-scale studies looking into the effectiveness of

breast screening. They say that the studies which support breast screening are

either flawed or weak, with the only two high quality studies showing no benefit

at all. In addition, they suggest that screening may result in women receiving

more aggressive treatments for cancer, increasing the number of mastectomies by

approximately 20%. They write, in The Lancet: " We hope that women, clinicians

and policy-makers will consider these findings carefully when they decide

whether or not to attend, or support screening programmes. " Flood of criticism

The Danish pair, Peter Gøtzsche and Ole Olsen, first voiced these criticisms

last year, and provoked a flood of protest as a result. In the light of this,

they say, they have thoroughly reviewed their work - and reached the same

conclusion. " We found the results confirmed and strengthened our original

conclusion, " they wrote. However, cancer organisations in the UK have repeated

their attacks on the conclusions.

 

We found the results confirmed and strengthened our original conclusion

 

Peter Gøtzsche and Ole Olsen, report authors Many are worried that any adverse

publicity about breast screening will dissuade women from coming forward.

Stephen Duffy, an expert in breast screening from the Imperial Cancer Research

Fund, said that the five studies which supported the use of mammograms should

not have been excluded. He said: " Studies in the UK and Sweden by ICRF and

others have shown breast cancer screening substantially reduces women's risk of

dying of breast cancer. " Research published only in May demonstrated that women

who attend regular breast screenings may reduce their risk of dying by more than

50%. " Disagreements A spokesman for the UK Breast Screening Programme agreed:

" The way Gøtzsche and Olsen classified studies was based on criteria that would

not be agreed by many experts in the field.

 

Studies in the UK and Sweden by ICRF and others have shown breast cancer

screening substantially reduces women's risk of dying of breast cancer

 

Stephen Duffy, Imperial Cancer Research Fund " Indeed many researchers would

classify all seven studies as of similar quality, and when the results from all

seven studies are combined, there is clear evidence of the benefit from

mammography. " If existing studies are too weak to support the use of breast

screening, then the chances of organising large-scale replacements are slim, as

these would have to involve a sizeable " control " sample who would not be

screened for the purposes of comparison. As most clinicians already feel that

breast screening offers a significant benefit, it would probably be felt

ethically unsound to leave so many women without it. However, the fact that The

Lancet now backs the Danish team is a significant move in supporting those who

question the benefits of breast screening. Editor Richard Horton wrote: " Women

should expect doctors to secure the best evidence about the value of screening

mammography. " At present, there is no reliable evidence from large randomised

trials to support screening mammography programmes. " Professor Michael Baum,

from the Portland Hospital in London, says that it is now right that women

should be presented with all the evidence about screening before they give their

consent. He said: " Even with the most optimistic estimates on saving lives, you

would still have to screen 1,000 women for 10 years to save one life. " If you

have one significant adverse event which costs a life in this group over this

period, all that benefit is cancelled out. " The Lancet is a highly influential

journal and if they are backing this review, it's highly significant. "
