Prostate Cancer Deception

[Guest guest]

Hi, Frank.

 

I hope that as more and more of us who are middle aged---I am 52---

see how very little mainstream doctors and hospitals are able to do

for our aged parents---even what damage they do to them in the name

of health---that more and more of us will come to see the wisdom in

natural, alternative health and healing.

 

But for now, the deception just continues.

 

I am on several Prostate Cancer Boards. This is a recent

message from one of them(Women-Against-Prostate-Cancer) about an

upcoming so-called " Men's Health Conference " sponsored by Pfizer,

Merck, Endocare, Solvay, The American Urological Association and

other " champions " of male health.

 

Reading it makes me sick. I believe the second line about sums up the

focus and the " value " such a conference will have for those who

attend:

 

" An emerging health issue is the poor health of men, including lack

of access to insurance and health care. "

 

??? So, the poor health of men is due to lack of access to insurance

and health care? And it can be restored to them by giving them better

access? What self-serving, propagandistic nonsense!

 

Incidentally, the multi-billion dollar drug companies who are

sponsoring this self-serving, propagandistic farce are not even

willing to foot the bill for it. They are charging each hapless

attendee 400 dollars for the privilege!

 

Here is the ad, as it appears on the Women-Against-Prostate-Cancer

board. Those women, incidentally, would do far better at

fighting prostate cancer if they did some real research and renamed

their board, " Women-Against-Deceptive-Mainstream-Medical-Practices. "
