Joicy wins the prize, I was wondering who would not only read
the abstracts; but also go into the article links. My daughter saw her
doctor today and he did a small math test produced by "TAMOXIFEN" and it put her
slightly up on the scale as a possible breast cancer risk.I told her that we had
very little cancer in our family, except for me and I had enough for everyone,
that we had more nuts than cancer patients. I then explained to her what
all this company is doing. Gosh Joicy, remember when we were first on the
forum the brawl I caused simply because I questioned Tamoxifen?
I realize that I am a pain in the butt with all the information I send; but it
behooves people to read it. So much of cancer is general and alike.
Sure, I know it's boring; but if we can save one person or help one person we
want it to be one of our Moler friends. Love, lillian
Friends, I followed the links on one of the
articles Lillian sent, and thought the following was an important read, NOT
just for breast cancerers! It's called "Seeing Deception is your Only
Protection: The Breast Cancer Awareness Month Story, By Sherrill
Sellman.
I have always been angered by the outright misleading motto of
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, that "Early Detection is Your Best Protection".
The National Cancer Institute stated in 1995 that "Breast cancer is simply not
a preventable disease!" How does early discovery PREVENT what you've already
got?
Below is an excerpt from the article which I think you'll find
interesting. Sadly, I suspect this is only the tip of the iceberg in causes of
cancer and conflicts of interest. Love and prayers, Joicy
Did you know:
Breast cancer Awareness month's
primary sponsor and mastermind is Zeneca Pharmaceuticals (now AstraZeneca),
manufacturer of the controversial and widely prescribed breast cancer drug,
tamoxifen. All TV, radio and print media are paid for and must be approved
by AstraZeneca!
It is less known that Zeneca also makes herbicides
and fungicides. One of their products, the organochlorine pesticide,
acetochlor is implicated as a causal factor in breast cancer. It's Perry,
Ohio chemical plant is the third largest source of potential cancer-causing
pollution in the US, spewing 53,000 pounds of recognized carcinogens into
the air in 1996.
Perhaps we can forgive
Zeneca's involvement with carcinogenic chemicals, since it researched and
patented the most popular breast cancer treatment, Tamoxifen, grossing 500
million dollars annually. Perhaps not. On May 16, 2000 the New York Times
reported that the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences
listed substances that are known to cause cancer. Tamoxifen was included in
that list!! 7
It is known that tamoxifen causes uterine cancer, liver
cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. After just two to three years of use,
tamoxifen will increase the incidence of uterine cancer by two -three times.
The treatment for uterine cancer is an hysterectomy. In addition, tamoxifen
increased the risk of strokes, blood clots, eye damage, menopausal symptoms,
and depression.
The biggest shock of all is the
fact that tamoxifen will increase the risk of breast cancer! The journal
Science published a study from Duke University Medical Center in 1999
showing that after 2-5 years, tamoxifen actually initiated the growth of
breast cancer!
So, Zeneca, the originator
of Breast Cancer Awareness month is the manufacturer of carcinogenic
petrochemicals, carcinogenic pollutants and a breast cancer drug that causes
at least four different types of cancer in women, including breast cancer.
Is something wrong with this picture?
