In my book, The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally, Chapter One explains how the major financial sponsor of the NBCAM – National Breast Cancer Awareness Month -aka “the pink ribbon campaign” is the chemical company AstraZeneca. The NBCAM heavily petitions governments to promote frequent Mammograms.
So here are just two of too many reports that indicate why better education about our “preventive health” choices is needed. You may want to read these before you make that decision.
The British Journal of Radiobiology published a paper in 2006, that states:
“…..radiobiological studies have provided compelling evidence that the low energy X-rays as used in mammography are approximately four times – but possibly as much as six times – more effective in causing mutational damage than higher energy X-rays. Since current radiation risk estimates are based on the effects of high energy gamma radiation, this implies that the risks of radiation-induced breast cancers for mammography X-rays are underestimated by the same factor.
A new study published July, 2013 in the Annals of Family Medicine titled, Long-term psychosocial consequences of false-positive screening mammography, brings to the forefront a major under-reported harm of breast screening programs: the very real and lasting trauma associated with a false-positive diagnosis of breast cancer.
The study found that women with false-positive diagnoses of breast cancer, even three years after being declared free of cancer, “consistently reported greater negative psychosocial consequences compared with women who had normal findings in all 12 psychosocial outcomes.”

The above book also explains the damaging effects of pressure, inflammation and consequent cell damage as being a cause of cancer.
