Meanwhile, 10 healthy women, who would not have been diagnosed with cancer had it not been for the mammography screening, will be misdiagnosed as having breast cancer, and will be treated unnecessarily. Additionally, more than 200 women will experience significant psychological distress for many months due to false positives.</span></div><h2 style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Cancer Industry is Fraught with Corruption…</span></h2><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There’s plenty of damning information out there that can, and ultimately will, be used to call for a congressional hearing on the mammography cover-up. As far back as 1974, professor Malcolm C. Pike at the University of Southern California School of Medicine warned the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that a number of specialists had concluded that “giving a women under age 50 a mammogram on a routine basis is close to unethical.” In the 1990′s, Dr. Samuel Epstein warned about the dangers of mammography, stating:</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1 rad exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade’s screening… The high sensitivity of the breast, especially in young women, to radiation-induced cancer was known by 1970. Nevertheless, the establishment then screened some 300,000 women with X-ray dosages so high as to increase breast cancer risk by up to 20 percent in women aged 40 to 50 who were mammogramed annually.”</span></em></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet despite all the evidence against the routine use of it, mammography has remained the number one recommended “prevention” strategy for all women over the age of 40. Alarmingly, there’s evidence indicating the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been negligent (to put it mildly) in their approval of a number of cancer-detecting devices. It recently became known that <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/02/14/fda-secretly-monitors-personal-email.aspx" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in;">whistleblowers</a> within the agency had been secretly monitored for two years; all of whom worked in the office responsible for reviewing medical devices, including cancer screening devices. The monitored employees had warned Congress that the agency was approving medical devices that posed unacceptable risks to patients.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health has repeatedly tried to take action against the employees, claiming they had disclosed information that undermined the integrity and mission of the FDA. Shuren is also the official who oversees mercury dental fillings, which they have been fraudulently referring to as ‘silver fillings.’ Shuren promised to make an announcement about <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/01/17/fda-action-on-dental-amalgam.aspx" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in;">dental amalgam </a>by the end of 2011, but just before the end of the work year, the agency conceded that no announcement was forthcoming – not in 2011, and maybe not at all.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again and again, Mr. Shuren demonstrates loyalty to industry interests rather than public health and safety… But he’s not the only one. In a 2009 letter from an unknown number of FDA employees to President Obama’s transition team, the authors clearly spell out the need for a complete overhaul of the agency due to deep-rooted systemic corruption at the highest levels.<sup style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/02/toxic-parabens-on-breast-cancer-patients.aspx#_edn12" name="_ednref12" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in;">12</a></sup> They write:</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Currently there is an atmosphere at FDA in which the honest employee fears the dishonest employee, and not the other way around. Disturbingly, the atmosphere does not yet exist at FDA where honest employees committed to integrity and the FDA mission can act without fear of reprisal. …America urgently needs change at FDA because FDA is fundamentally broken, failing to fulfill its mission, and because re-establishing a proper and effectively functioning FDA is vital to the physical and economic health of the nation.”</span></em></div><h2 style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Mammograms No Longer Recommended for Women in Their 40′s</span></h2><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The US Preventative Task Force revised its recommendations on mammograms in October 2009,<sup style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/02/toxic-parabens-on-breast-cancer-patients.aspx#_edn13" name="_ednref13" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in;">13</a></sup> stating that women in their 40′s should no longer get routine mammograms for early detection of breast cancer. Instead, the panel recommended waiting until the age of 50, and only doing one mammogram every other year rather than annually. The Canadian task force followed suit in November last year.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While many cancer organizations were outraged and have shunned the task forces’ new directive, it’s important to realize that the main reasons for this change in guidelines were the documented dangers and short-comings of mammographic screening. All in all, there’s convincing evidence that mammography is not all it’s cracked up to be, and the FDA is not doing its stated job to protect your health. Instead, they’re busy catering to industry and skirting the boundaries of the law to protect a lucrative business model. This is a tragedy, considering how many alternatives there are that could help stem the tide of cancer…</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There’s a wide variety of prevention and treatment strategies that appear to be both safer and more effective than conventional strategies like mammograms and the “cut-poison-burn” model of cancer treatment… To learn more, please review the related articles listed below.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
