Dangerous Mammography—6 Reasons Why
Women Should Not Have a Mammogram

There are several reasons why women should not have a mammogram.

American College of Physicians Warning

The American College of Physicians (ACP) has recommended women in their 40s consult with their doctor before undergoing routine annual mammography screening. An expert panel from the American College of Physicians, which represents 120,000 internists, made this recommendation in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

After reviewing 117 studies conducted between 1966 and 2005, the panel found the data on mammography screening for women in their 40s are so unclear that the effectiveness of reducing breast cancer death could be either 15% or "...nearly zero."

The dangers of mammography are recognized in the medical field. According to Dr. Samuel Epstein of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, "Screening mammography poses significant and cumulative risks of breast cancer for pre-menopausal women."

The routine practice of taking four films of each breast annually results in approximately 1 rad (radiation absorbed dose) exposure, about 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray. The pre-menopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation—each 1 rad exposure increases breast cancer risk by about 1%, with a cumulative 10% increased risk for each breast over a decade’s screening. These risks are even greater for younger women subject to "baseline screening."

Mammograms May Harm 10 Times as Many Women as They Help

Researchers at the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Denmark examined the benefits and negative effects of seven breast cancer screening programs on 500,000 women in the United States, Canada, Scotland and Sweden. The study's authors found that for every 2,000 women who received mammograms over a 10-year period, only one would have her life prolonged, but 10 would endure unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments.

However, the UK's National Health Service (NHS) breast screening program—which provides free mammograms for women over the age of 50 every three years—cited different statistics in defending its program. An NHS statement said the Department of Health's advisory committee on breast cancer screening had conducted its own evaluation of the program, and found that screening prolonged the life of five women out of every 2,000 over a 10-year period.

Mammograms Can Cause Breast Cancer

Definitive studies by the North Carolina Institute of Technology explain why mammograms can cause breast cancer. The high radiation (1-10 rads depending upon the exam) burns tissue, as all direct radiation does. If the woman has oral pathology, and the deadly toxins from her mouth are moving into the breast, the burned or damaged tissue is attacked by the neurotoxins escaping from the jaw, and the tumor begins to form.

The neurotoxins first inhibit the body's ability to fight off tumor formation. The unacceptable radiation dosages finish the job. Since mammographic screening was introduced, the incidence of a form of breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has increased by 328%.

Mammography Can Help Spread Existing Cancer Cells

Due to the considerable pressure placed on the woman’s breast during the procedure, a mammogram can actually help spread existing cancer cells. According to some health practitioners, this compression could cause existing cancer cells to metastasize from the breast site.

Research has also found a gene, called oncogene AC, that is extremely sensitive to even small doses of radiation. A significant percentage of women in the United States have this gene, which could increase their risk of mammography-induced cancer. They estimate that 10,000 oncogene AC carriers will die of breast cancer each year due to mammography.

The Radiation Risk Is Higher Among Younger Women

The National Cancer Institute released evidence that, among women under 35, mammography could cause 75 cases of breast cancer for every 15 it identifies. A Canadian study found a 52% increase in breast cancer mortality in young women given annual mammograms.

There Is an Alternative to Mammography

It's not just "alternative technology." High-resolution Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI), now accepted by Duke University, is fast becoming accepted mainstream technology, thanks to the discoveries of the North Carolina Institute of Technology (NCIT), a privately funded research center.

Thermal imaging provides a safe, simple, painless, and inexpensive facial scan to identify what NCIT has proven to be the cause of all breast cancers—oral pathology (root canals and other pathologies). Tens of thousands of cases have proved it, without exception!

And thermal imaging, done using the protocol established by NCIT, will find developing breast cancer 10 years earlier than mammography.

Why does the American Cancer Society continue to dance to the drumbeat of mammograms, and pretend that thermal imaging is experimental?
