Thank you for responding. I'm 59; never had a mammogram, don't intend to. I don't know if breastfeeding children really makes on immune to breast cancer or not but having mammo's certainly doesn't. I have a friend whose life was saved by doctors but that's about the only time I'd go to one ~ certainly not for a lifestyle created dis-ease. Revvell Hi Cynthia and Rawkin.

My sister's theory is that there was no real proof that it was breast cancer, & now the breast is gone who knows? My sister refuses to get a mammogram and at 47 has yet to get one. She says that she breast fed 3 children which makes her more immune to breast cancer than before. She's always been one to question doctors, (which I find funny since she had a near fatal car accident and it was the doctors that saved her) Me? I've had several incidents causing me to question some doctors. Because of my grandmother, for the past 10 years the doctors have been telling me to get a mammogram every year. I've had 2(perhaps 2 too many?). I'm afraid not to get it, but I'm very good at putting it off. Shoot, I don't even remember to do the self exam... officially anyway.

Then I become outraged. How could we have strayed so far from balance? From knowing that dis-ease is just that, an imbalance. There is no mystery here. Illness just doesn't "happen"... it doesn't just fly into us by random chance. It is cause and effect. Eliminate the cause, the effect is regained health. Cut out/nuke/chemicalize the cause to relieve the symptom, but the effect will reappear somewhere else... usually with a vengence. In the meantime, you are giving away your power and lining the pockets of Big Pharma and members of the AMA. Kudos to you for calling it like it is. <a href="http://www.lavenderaromatherapyblog.com" rel="nofollow">Cynthia</a> When I first think about this topic, I become weak in the knees.
