|
 | 7/14/2015 - In Brave New America, simply acknowledging the historical value of a flag that has always stood for states' rights can earn you the scarlet letter title of "racist." If you're an American parent, you also stand to be accused of child abuse if you refuse to inject your kids with vaccinations laced with...
|
 | 2/27/2014 - Mammograms are so widely used and promoted for breast cancer diagnosis that you would think it is very reliable. That, unfortunately, is far from the truth.
False-positives This means mammograms suggest women have cancer when in fact they do not.
In a Swedish study published in the British Medical...
|
 | 2/21/2014 - A large and comprehensive study which looked at 90,000 Canadian women aged 40 to 59 for 25 years has cast fresh doubts on the usefulness of mammography. It found that mammograms did not lower the death rate from breast cancer. And it didn't reduce the death rate from all causes, either.
The study,...
|
 | 2/20/2014 - Besides subjecting women unnecessarily to higher doses of radiation, a new study has found that yearly mammograms don't even cut death rates -- which was one of the primary reasons why the medical industry recommends getting one annually.
According to researchers in Canada, the new study confirmed...

|
 | 11/27/2012 - Mammography is a cruel medical hoax.

"Because screening does not...
