Zero Benefit Mammogram Scam (Try THIS Instead)
Ladies, getting screened for breast cancer is vital. I want that to be clear.
Breast cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer death in women. An estimated 12.9 percent of U.S. women will develop this disease in their lifetime, and about 42,000 women still die each year from it.
Identifying and treating breast cancer early is the BEST way to have a positive outcome.
But mammograms aren’t your only option—and they’re certainly not your best.
Consider this. A large study of over 89,000 women showed:
- Having a mammogram didn’t reduce mortality from breast cancer.
- Twenty-two percent of all invasive breast cancers were over-diagnosed.
Other research found even HIGHER rates of over-diagnosis.
This means that the women were treated for low-risk tumors that wouldn’t have caused symptoms in their lifetime.
It’s a BIG problem because every tumor found with a mammogram MUST be treated, regardless if it’s the best option or not.
In another review, researchers found that for every 2,000 women screened with mammography over 10 years, only ONE woman will have a longer life.
The rest don’t fare so well. Ten will be misdiagnosed and treated unnecessarily, and another 200 will end up with a false positive.
But it gets worse than simply being ineffective or inaccurate.
Mammograms can cause the very cancers they’re attempting to detect.
Published research estimates that the annual screening of 100,000 women aged 40 to 74 years will induce 125 breast cancers, leading to 16 deaths.
You see, every time you get a mammogram, you’re zapping your sensitive breast tissue with massive amounts of ionizing radiation, a KNOWN cancer-causing agent.
One study showed that high-risk women exposed to radiation have a 1.5 times greater risk of developing breast cancer.
For every one woman saved by early detection, countless more are exposed to the radiation that will ultimately kill them.
My top recommendation for breast screening is used in Europe, Canada, and Australia for routine screening. It’s been around for nearly 40 years, and almost 1,000 studies have been done on it.
It’s called digital thermography.
It measures infrared heat from your body and detects changes in breast tissue over time.
You see, tumor cells have increased glucose metabolism compared to normal cells. This creates neo-vascularization, which brings greater blood flow to the area.
This produces more thermal energy in these tissues that can be seen using an infrared detector or camera.
The result is a safe, painless, and accurate screening for potentially cancerous changes in the breast.
P.S. “Secret Move” SLASHES breast cancer risk.
