Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 http://www.odemagazine.com/news.php?nID=685 Mammograms ineffective?For years, health authorities have preached that mammograms save lives. But according to a new study (the first to use data from clinical practice rather than clinical studies), this claim may be unfounded. A research team from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle studied the files of 1,351 women who died from breast cancer between 1983 and 1998. These were compared with a group of 2,501 women of a similar age and risk level who did not have breast cancer. The researchers reasoned that if mammograms worked, a larger portion of women how had never had breast cancer-free women must have had them. But this was not the case. It appeared that 66 percent of the women with cancer had undergone examinations, compared to 64 percent of the cancer-free group. In other words: A similar number of women died, whether they had regular mammograms or not. http://www.odemagazine.com/news.php?nID=683 It appears that chemist, physicist and Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling was right: Vitamin C is effective against cancer. Scientists from the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, have confirmed his theory in the lab. What Doctors Don’t Tell You (October 2005) reports on the study, previously published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in which high doses of vitamin C were released on nine different cancer cultures. Only half the cells survived the experiment and the number of lymphoma cells was reduced by 99 percent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
