In her award-winning documentary film, Megan Smith tells us the many reasons why a woman should never have a single mammogram. In the film she also describes safe breast screening alternatives from: breast self-exams; clinical breast exams; thermograms and breast ultra-sound.
Chapter five in my book, Busting Breast Cancer, describes dozens of studies by national medical boards, by Dr Gilbert Welch of Brigham & Women’s Hospital, and by a few brave breast surgeons who are now documenting why mammograms are NOT a woman’s best friend.
Here is the trailer to Megan’s Smith’s film, Boobs: The War on Women’s Breasts.
As my decades of research on this subject have shown… mammograms are the critical feeding mechanism for today’s highly profitable and unnecessary breast cancer epidemic. Why?
The vast majority of women who are told.. “Your mammogram says that you have breast cancer” … do not have breast cancer … or do not have a tumor that is actively growing. ; a tumor that may never grow beyond the size of a small pea; a tumor that diet, ending progestin contraceptives, progestin HRT and/or lower stress may make disappear. This is the time that a conscientious oncologist will say… “Let’s just watch and wait while you work on lowering the inflammation in your body.”
Stage zero breast cancer = NO breast cancer; just atypical cells that are caused by inflammation. These atypical cells can disappear as you lower the inflammation in your body.
Stage 1 breast cancer = a breast tumor, the size of a small pea. This tumor may have been in existence for many years… and will probably not grow much at all… or can disappear as you lower the inflammation in your body.
Most women who have developed larger tumors… Stage 2 or 3 tumors, find the lump themselves; not with a mammogram!
The radiation from mammograms also increases inflammation within the breast, while the smashing of the metal plates around the breast tissue can harm any existing tumor.
Meanwhile… the breast cancer industry wants women who are diagnosed with stage zero or stage 1 to begin extensive and highly inflammatory treatments… beginning with sticking the breast with a needle to determine what KIND of cells are in the breast. [a $7,000 procedure]
This is called a biopsy; biopsies by themselves can create stage IV (metastatic breast cancer), if a cancer cell is released into the breast when the biopsy needle is extracted. This is called the Seed and Soil theory of metastatic cancer. Once that cancer cell fuses to a powerful immune cell, called a macrophage, that macrophage can travel all over the woman’s body… usually to the bone, lung or brain.
Women who want to understand the health of their breast tissue… and do not want to put themselves in the hands of today’s crisis-oriented breast cancer industry, would do well to have an annual thermogram. Thermography can show you if one or both breasts are inflamed.. and can let you monitor your ability to lower those levels of inflammation over a matter of months or years.
Women who find a palpable lump, using breast self-exams, or clinical breast exams, can request to have an ultrasound. An ultrasound can tell you if the lump is a water-filled cyst or a tumor. If your doctor will not order a breast ultrasound, until you first have a mammogram… find another doctor or find a concierge ultrasound clinic. You will self pay; cost about $200; but you will avoid having a mammogram.
One of the best ways to lower inflammation in the breasts is to lose all excess body fat, stop using progestin contraceptives or progestin HRT, and balance your estrogen to progesterone hormone levels. To find out how balanced or unbalanced your hormones currently are, ZRT Labs may be a good place to begin.
The well known lab, founded by Dr David Zava, co-author of the popular book: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer, offers at-home blood and saliva testing, with incredible patient support and education.
Other ways to lower inflammation in your body, thus preventing breast cancer, can be found in my book, Busting Breast Cancer: Five Simple Steps to Keep Breast Cancer Out of Your Body.
