Study verifies mammography screenings cause cancer

(NaturalNews) A new study presented on December 1 at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America

(RSNA) verified that annual mammography screenings may be responsible

for causing breast cancer in women who are predisposed to the disease.

Epidemiologist Marijke C. Jansen-van der Weide from the University

Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands suggests that doctors

should be very cautious when screening younger women, especially those

under age 30.

 

There are many conflicting reports about the benefits of mammography screenings, particularly among younger women below the age of 40. Because there is a high risk among women with genetic or familial predispositions to breast cancer

when getting mammograms, Dr. Jansen-van der Weide and her research team

are suggesting that these women get an alternative screening.

Ultrasounds, MRIs, and heat thermography screenings are some alternatives that do not expose patients to radiation.

 

The study evaluated women in the high-risk group and determined that

low-dose mammography radiation increased these women's risk of

developing breast cancer by 150 percent. Women under 20 who have had at least five mammograms

are 2.5 times more likely to develop breast cancer than high-risk women

who have never undergone low-dose mammography screenings.

 

Study authors emphasized the fact that doctors should be cautious in

administering mammograms to younger women, especially those with a

family history of breast cancer. Moderate- to low-risk women were not

evaluated in the study. Alternative screening methods were encouraged

in order to reduce the risk of women in high-risk groups from being

harmed by radioactive exposure.

 

 

Comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

What this study really reveals is that there is no reason for any women to ever receive a mammogram

ever again.

Ultrasound and thermography should now be the new standard for breast

cancer detection screenings, as they do not subject women to excess

radiation.

 

This study also reveals that mammograms are really "repeat business machines" for the cancer industry

.. When enough women are subjected

to mammography, a windfall of future cancer patients is absolutely

assured, and this translates into billions of dollars in profits for

the businesses invested in cancer: Big Pharma, mammogram machine

manufacturers, and so on.

 

In fact, mammograms represent the slickest marketing gimmick we've ever seen in modern medicine. It's a technology that recruits new patients

by actually causing the disease is claims to "detect." No wonder all

the cancer industry non-profit groups donate so much money to breast

cancer screening -- it's the best way to keep their sponsors in

business!

 

Just take a look at the Susan Komen for the Cure non-profit, and you'll

see that a huge percentage of all the money they raise for "finding a

cure" is really redirected to funding "free breast cancer screenings"

that target poor women. The purpose of this whole scheme is to herd

more women into extremely profitable (and extremely dangerous) cancer

treatment cancers that generate billions for the cancer industry.
