When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity.\u009d – Dale Carnegie<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I believe Dale Carnegie forgot some other strong motivaters – money and prestige. Let’s not forget community spirit, as in – we’ll all get together and walk and raise money for a common cause because it makes us feel good and gives us all a reason to cheer.

And yes, some of the money goes into research, but maybe for some researchers it’s like – heh, let’s drag this thing along as long as possible cause this way I continue to have my prestigious job and earn big bucks, and no, I don’t really want a cure to be found. I like things just the way they are.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some people are suspicious of medical research. When millions are raised in an attempt to find a cure for a malaise, entire industries grow dependent upon this income. Thousands of people end up in the strange position of searching for something that it is against their own best interest to find.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And some physicians may be like – heh, it’s not my problem if women want estrogen birth-control pills and menopausal women are demanding estrogen. Besides, we can always blame it on genetics. Lay people always fall for that one. And <\/em>why don’t we make it mandatory for some women to have mammographies, even pre-menopausal women. Make it sound like they’re doing the right thing.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Dangers and Unreliability of Mammography: Breast Examination is a Safe, Effective, and Practical Alternative<\/p>\n

Samuel S. Epstein, Rosalie Bertell, and Barbara Seaman<\/p>\n

International Journal of Health Services, 31(3):605-615, 2001.<\/p>\n

Mammography screening is a profit-driven technology posing risks compounded by unreliability. In striking contrast, annual clinical breast examination (CBE) by a trained health professional, together with monthly breast self-examination (BSE), is safe, at least as effective, and low in cost. International programs for training nurses how to perform CBE and teach BSE are critical and overdue.<\/p>\n

Contrary to popular belief and assurances by the U. S. media and the cancer establishment- the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and American Cancer Society (ACS)- mammography is not a technique for early diagnosis. In fact, a breast cancer has usually been present for about eight years before it can finally be detected. Furthermore, screening should be recognized as damage control, rather than misleadingly as “secondary prevention.”<\/p>\n
