Only one thing has reduced deaths from breast cancer — and it isn't mammography

Last week, we saw new guidelines come out for mammography. I discussed those guidelines in my last health alert. As I said in that alert, the new guidelines don't go far enough. In the upcoming December issue of Second Opinion, I show you strong evidence that mammograms can increase your risk of breast cancer by 57%. So I say any routine screening with mammography is wrong.

Amazingly, many claim the old screening guidelines reduced the death rate of breast cancer. But this is a farce. Yes, the death rate from breast cancer has declined sharply. In fact, its decline accounts for the 37% of the 650,000 reduction in the overall death rate in the U.S. between 1990 and 2005.

But there's only one thing that's reduced breast cancer death rates. It's not more screening. It's not better surgical methods. And it's not drugs. Well, actually, it has to do with drugs — but not in the way you might think. Let me explain.

Decades ago, and without any evidence, Big Pharma went on a blitz promoting hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Were a vitamin company to promote a true claim, but not to the FDA's despotic specifications, it would be closed up immediately.

The result of the huge media push from Big Pharma? Millions of women started using the drugs. And within just a few years, HRT was responsible for hundreds of thousands of needless breast cancer cases. The proof was incontrovertible — HRT caused breast cancer. And it killed women.

Once the news was out, women stopped taking the drugs. And the rate of death from breast cancer dropped rapidly.

So don't believe what you're hearing about mammography screening saving millions of lives. While it may have saved some, it's caused far more damage across the board. So don't believe what you're hearing. And don't submit to routine mammography screening.

Yours for better health and medical freedom,

THE POWERS OF GRATITUDE

The Grace of Gratitude
By Aine Belton


Gratitude and appreciation will raise your vibration, open your heart, and elevate you from even the darkest of places.

In appreciating and feeling grateful for something or someone, you essentially 'receive' it (i.e. the very essence you feel grateful for), as well as give to it from your heart, which effectively aligns your vibration to it, and directs your focus, attention and energy towards it.

Gratitude attunes your heart and mind to that which is positive in your life.

When you feel grateful you get to experience the beautiful qualities of that which you feel grateful for. It connects you to what you love and appreciate which enhances your state in a graceful and magical way.

Gratitude is the sweet song of appreciation. It turns an experience, person or event into a gift that is received, for when you appreciate and feel grateful, you literally let the experience/quality in, and you also give to it. It is a wonderful exchange of positive energies.

Whatever you focus on grows, so when you appreciate someone, see their value and beauty and feel grateful for it, those qualities will expand and grow in your life.

When you focus on everything in your life you have to feel grateful for, and all the wonderful things, experiences and people you appreciate, the universe hands you more of the same. It's a fantastic abundance expanding experience.

You might like to keep a gratitude journal and write down at the end of each day 10 things you feel grateful for over the last 24 hours to assist you in experiencing more of this wondrous, generative, heart-opening energy of gratitude!
