Each time you get a mammogram, you increase your chances of getting breast cancer by 2%. vaccinefreehealth blogspot com The risk far outweighs any benefit as the risk will vary from child to child. facebook.com/graphixyourway |

I shudder to think how many I’ve had over the years, exposing myself to unnecessary radiation. And, yes, many women have had unnecessary surgery and even chemotherapy for false diagnoses. www.naturalnews.com has several excellent articles on it. Others: The "Official" Recommendation “In November 2009 the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force took a look, finally, at the scientific evidence and announced new recommendations for routine mammograms -- specifically that women under 50 should avoid them and women over 50 should only get them every other year The group's previous recommendation was for routine screenings every year for women age 40 and older. While roughly 15 percent of women in their 40’s detect breast cancer through mammography, many other women experience false positives, anxiety, and unnecessary biopsies as a result of the test, according to data. The new advice is a small step in the right direction, but many are up in arms, fearing a decrease in mammograms will put women’s lives at risk from breast cancer, or that insurance companies will stop covering the procedure until a woman reaches age 50. What is being completely overlooked by the majority of media outlets, however, is the reason WHY the Task Force decided to trim their mammogram recommendation.” Read the rest at [link to www.newlifefamilychiropractic.com] Mammograms Shown to Cause Breast Cancer [link to www.personal.psu.edu] Women endangered by high rate of false-positive mammograms [link to www.naturalnews.com] [link to www.naturalnews.com] “Many doctors have trouble trusting mammograms due to their enormous rate of false positive diagnosis. In one large study looking at 60,000 women, the researchers found that 70% of the detected tumors were not tumors at all. These false positive results create a great amount of emotional stress on patients and family members involved. Even worse, these results lead to many unnecessary and invasive biopsies. Research has shown that 70-80% of all positive mammograms do not show the presence of cancer upon further biopsy testing. False positives and unnecessary biopsies can dramatically alter an individual's health. The emotional stress of believing you have cancer when you do not is enough to trigger the onset or the acceleration of disease in the body. Many women have undergone unnecessary chemotherapy, radiation and mastectomies after receiving false positive results on a mammogram. This creates an enormous overall economic, emotional, and physical stress on the individual due to the limitations of this sort of testing." |
