Before anyone can understand cancer, they must first understand the dirty politics behind the multi-billion dollar cancer industry and the motives that drive it. Did you know that The American Cancer Society is the richest non-profit agency in the world? When you buy daffodils at work the money doesn't necessarily go toward cancer research. It could be going toward six figure salaries for their executives or the hundreds of company cars given to ACS executives. In the ACS Texas affiliate alone, 101 company cars are given to their executives and staff members. Today ACS has cash reserves that approach one billion dollars, yet only a very small percentage of that money goes toward research. Why would ACS hoard all these assets and then claim they desperately need more funds for research?
I was asked recently about a deodorant study that claimed it does not cause breast cancer. To my knowledge no one ever made that accusation, but antiperspirant on the other hand has been under suspicion for quite some time. Antiperspirant works by clogging the sweat glands with aluminum. This in turn traps toxins that normally get released in the underarm area. These toxins accumulate in the lymph node area and could possible pose a health risk. It is common knowledge that breast cancer lumps are more often than not found toward the outer portion of the breast closer to the underarm. If you ask me, I think the deodorant study was a diversion. The true suspected link is antiperspirants, not deodorants. Who knows for sure who funded the study. Perhaps it was Proctor & Gamble? Who would have a vested interest in seeing a negative result. The cosmetics industry has a lobby that makes the tobacco lobby look minuscule. They count on consumers acting just like sheep. They know that sheep follow each other in line. Be independent thinking, don't follow the flock. The cosmetics industry is self-regulating. Contrary to popular belief, the FDA has no authority to approve ingredients that go into the personal care products we use every day. There is seldom any testing on the ingredients in these products, so you're basically on your own.
In the work I do, I question authority and try to get to the truth. Good or bad, right or wrong, I just want to know the truth. Most people are going to believe the study that is convenient and won't alter their lifestyle, which would result in them changing from their favorite personal care products. People should use common sense and think logically, make an informed decision and not have "studies" be the end all, be all. Why didn't the media report on the study by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), which is a government agency, that showed that fluoride causes cancer? The NTP also did a study in 1998 that showed a chemical called DEA (Diethanolamine) found in shampoo, toothpaste, shave cream, bubble bath, shower gels, etc., causes kidney and liver cancer. If you're going believe the study that says deodorants don't cause cancer, then why aren't you going to believe the two government studies that show fluoride & DEA do cause cancer?
The bottom line is, breast cancer rates are sky high and still headed higher. 50% of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not survive. Women need to take charge of their own health and not blindly trust the medical community. The sad reality is that doctors are still losing the winnable war against cancer. In my opinion, the answer lies in prevention. It's your life, but if it were me... I would rather be safe than sorry.
