MUMBAI, India (AP) — A simple vinegar test slashed cervical cancer death rates by one-third in a remarkable study of 150,000 women in the slums of India, where the disease is the top cancer killer of women.

Doctors reported the results Sunday at a cancer conference in Chicago. Experts called the outcome "amazing" and said this quick, cheap test could save tens of thousands of lives each year in developing countries by spotting early signs of cancer, allowing treatment before it's too late.

Pap smears and tests for HPV, a virus that causes most cervical cancers, have slashed cases and deaths in the United States. But poor countries can't afford those screening tools.

This study tried a test that costs very little and can be done by local people with just two weeks of training and no fancy lab equipment. They swab the cervix with diluted vinegar, which can make abnormal cells briefly change color...

The same concept is used with aceto-white. I’m sure vinegar is much cheaper.

Here’s the horror of feminism first hand: nature is particularly hard on women.

Therefore, women have the most to gain from civilization and the lifestyle improvements which come from it, yet it is men who create and build civilizations. Feminism seeks to redefine women unnaturally via the schizophrenic method by destroying men and making women into that which must be destroyed.

We won’t break liberalism until we get back our schools. The irony of the government school system is that it was by design an indoctrination factory built by American protestants to brainwash immigrant Catholics aka Papists. It’s backfired big time.

How about a return to our God-given liberties?

Sorry, that is nonsense.

The government school system was invented to defeat the gospel of Yeshua. They were atheist statists to the core.

Our education system was crafted by socialists from Leipzig in the early 1830s. They believed that children should not be allowed to socialize with their parents.
