“Years ago..you never heard of this many women with breast cancer.

So..I conclude..whatever they are seeing is being removed whether necessary or not..or all of this radiation is doing it.”

I’d say it was due more to the early detection enabled by these tests. In the early 20th century, by the time it was diagnosed, it had metasized and the point of origin was in question.

As I understand it, the small doses of radiation that occur during such routine procedures are not only not dangerous, but could be healthful.

I read about a study of people exposed to radiation, Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, occupational exposure, etc., that resulted in a “J” shaped graph- those who were exposed to radiation were actually healthier, with the healthfulness increasing with increased exposure to a certain point, at which the line gradually leveled out and then reversed, with heavier doses harming their health.

I can’t tell if you are man or woman...but do you know what they have to do to get a mammogram done???? SQUEEZE hard on that body part.....I’ve read that that in and of itself could be a problem, besides the radiation. My doc recommends a “thermogram” and then if anything shows up, use the mamm as a backup. But, then, he’s light years ahead of most docs. AND, on top of all this....I believe a lot of cancers are deficiencies (vitamin/mineral) related...Vitamin D3!!!

I am a woman and I’ve had mammograms. Is your doctor, who links breast cancer to vitamin deficiencies, a medical doctor?

Yeah..he’s an MD and a Naturapath....who teaches other docs...here’s an article on his site about EQ (estriol quotient) which is becoming a known factor in breast cancer...I did not mean to say ONLY nutrients....hormones also are involved. Dr. Wright is world renowned (in more ways than one!...he HATES the Fed Gov’t...because they invaded his office once - he won!) Suzanne Somers NOW goes to Dr. Wright....although I hear he’s now passing all new women patients to his colleagues (naturapaths he trains) in his office and only dealing with men.
