Still In the Dark Ages

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Yesterday, after finding out an acquaintance has just been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, I received a newsletter from Glendale Adventist Medical Center. Now, I have to tell you ~ this is supposed to be one of the most prestigious medical centers in the U.S. if not the world.

Before I go into the newsletter, let me tell you MY experience with this place. Back around 1980 I knew I didn’t want to have children and chose to have my tubes tied. I went through all the counseling, all the fears, etc., then had a friend drive me over as it’s an out-patient operation and one can’t drive themselves home. They do a final blood test before doing the operation and come back to inform me that I’m pregnant. Well heyyy! The woman next to me is obviously pregnant! I am NOT! 13 years on “the pill” and I go to get my tubes tied and I’m told I’m pregnant?

They tell me they cannot do the operation and to come back in two weeks. Well, I KNOW I’m not pregnant. I go back and another doctor tells me I have no signs of pregnancy. I tell her, “well, there’s a reason for that ~ I’m not pregnant”. She then asks me what I want to do? Reschedule the operation? Um, no, I don’t think so.

This was the second time I’d been misdiagnosed and that was the last time I’ve been to a doctor.

Now, the GAMC newsletter. Front page: “Treatment You Can Trust”… “Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer….. What kind of surgery do I need?” Then they go on to talk about surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and plastic surgeons! Not one word about any other way of eliminating a lifestyle-caused dis-ease!!!

Here’s the topper ~ “Your best defense agains breast cancer ~ Annual mammograms…”. The thing that CAUSES cancer is your best defense?

Let’s go to page 3 ~ “reduce risk” ~

* More intensive screening. To find any potential cancer in its beginning stages you may be closely monitored with mammograms, ultra-sounds of the breast and ovaries, breast MRIs and other screen tests.
* Risk-reducing drugs. Certain prescription medications may help reduce, although not eliminate, the risk of breast or ovarian cancer.
*Prophylactic surgery. Surgically removing HEALTHY ovaries or breasts, or both, before they become cancerous.

Does anybody else see the insanity here? They will “screen” women with the stuff that CAUSES cancer, and remove HEALTHY organs and tissue. Nowhere does it say that lifestyle-caused disease can be reversed by stopping what’s causing the cancer. Nowhere does it say that disease cannot live in an alkaline/oxygenated environment. Nowhere does it say that ones’ thoughts and environment as much as anything else, can cause cancer and once those change, the cancer can disappear. Nowhere does it say there are other ways of healing oneself other than drugs and mutilation.

You know what I love? People are giving BILLIONS of dollars every year to the ACA to find a cure for cancer and it’s already there ~ it’s called our immune system.

What’s truly funny to me (not funny ha ha but funny peculiar) is that, every once in awhile they pretend to have come up with something new ~ a new drug, they’ve isolated some cancer cell or cancer “gene” to make people think they’re really doing something. Well, I’m here to tell you, we’ve all got cancer cells inside us from what I understand and a strong immune system is what’s keeping them at bay.

Also, if any of these things worked, why, are their only choices the same they’ve been for over 30 years now ~ Radiation, chemotherapy and mutilation?

Now, I don’t think I’ve ever seen where they suggest men have their prostates or their testicles removed to prevent cancer. I guess women’s body parts are expendable.

Oh! BTW ~ the surgeons they are promoting on the front page ~ are all women.

Enjoy your day,
