With tens of millions of abortions since the high court’s decision and research confirming abortion increases the risk of contracting breast cancer, undoubtedly a large number of breast cancer cases, caused by abortion, have occurred over the last 38 years.

Professor Joel Brind, an endocrinologist at Baruch College in New York, worked with several scientists on a 1996 paper published in the Journal of Epidemiol Community Health showing a “30% greater chance of developing breast cancer” for women who have induced abortions. He recently commented on how many women have become victims.

“If we take the overall risk of breast cancer among women to be about 10% (not counting abortion), and raise it by 30%, we get 13% lifetime risk,” Brind explains. Using the 50 million abortions since Roe v. Wade figure, we get 1.5 million excess cases of breast cancer. At an average mortality of 20% since 1973, that would mean that legal abortion has resulted in some 300,000 additional deaths due to breast cancer since Roe v. Wade.”

Q: Is there a culture that does not have or get breast  cancer? If yes, why? Do you believe our fake processed food in its non-natural  form is a contributor not only to breast, but all cancers? — Sue Jeter  Gonzalez

A. The Western countries (USA, Canada, Australia, New  Zealand, Europe) have the highest rates, especially in postmenopausal women.  This is probably related to the use of HRT (hormone-replacement therapy) and  screening mammography. (In addition to the good it does, it also finds a lot of  cancers that did not need to be found). All countries have the same  premenopausal cancer rates.

The discovery turns standard medical practice on its head. Surgeons have been  removing lymph nodes from under the arms of breast cancer patients for 100  years, believing it would prolong women’s lives by keeping the cancer  from spreading or coming back.

Now, researchers report that for women who meet certain criteria — about 20  percent of patients, or 40,000 women a year in the United States — taking out  cancerous nodes has no advantage. It does not change the treatment plan, improve  survival or make the cancer less likely to recur. And it can cause complications  like infection and lymphedema,  a chronic swelling  in the arm that ranges from mild to disabling.

A triple negative breast cancer diagnosis means that the  offending tumor is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative  and HER2-negative.

Nancy felt the lump herself but a mammogram and ultrasound  could find nothing.

"The hardest part about it was trying to get anybody to take  me very seriously, cause I knew something was wrong and I probably spent a good  year and a half trying to convince anybody else that something was wrong," Nancy  says.

She eventually demanded her doctors remove the lump and  that's when they found the cancer.

"You have to know yourself and be your own advocate because  nobody else will do it for you," Nancy says.

We live in the world of media messaging where the one with the most money and  the loudest message wins the day. What is the “Race for the Cure”? Why are we  not being told the truth about the real risks and prevention for breast cancer?  According to the SEER data at the National Cancer Institute, there has been a  400% increase in noninvasive — or “in situ” (in the same place) — breast cancer  in pre-menopausal women since 1975. How do abortion, hormone replacement  therapy, and hormonal contraception factor into the equation?

For years, abortion, hormonal replacement therapy and hormonal contraception  have been largely ignored by most of the medical community and the media in  general as significant risk factors for breast cancer. However, studies have  consistently concluded that breast cancer risk increases as a result of these  three factors.

Dangers and Unreliability of  Mammography: Breast Examination is a Safe, Effective, and Practical  Alternative

  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.

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."
