Healthy Life For us

Now that millions have seen the true colors of the Komen Foundation Following its withdrawal of funding from Planned Parenthood I'm posting a selection of our articles on "PINK" from over the years. After 20+ years of PINK there is no cure. And there is little aimed at prevention and different screening and treatment options that may be better than what if offered and supported by Komen. I applied one year for a grant to do education and was denied.  I take it that my focus to help women learn about options was not on the agenda for Brinker. This also says too that the Pink Lid campaign from General Mills ignored a request for a grant from the 501c3 non profit that sponsors this blog. I started educating in earnest against the lineal mind set of breast cancer care and lack of sure in the early 90s. The fact that Komen backed mammography screening was advised against in the early 70s by an expert in radiation effects is also quite unknown. It was opposed because it was exp...

For about two decades I have been writing and education about thermography as a better and safer screening method for breast cancer.   The two best reasons are that it does not expose you to unnecessary radiation and it detects 10 years earlier than x-ray. This article may help you have a better view and also worth getting a copy to your health care provider. Sadly I have learned that in some radiology practices they will not allow ultrasound unless you have had a prior mammogram. Get the facts and take a stand for your best health. Excerpt from a clinical article highlighting the facts about thermography - Breast thermography has undergone extensive research since the late 1950's. Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography exist in the index-medicus literature. In this database, well over 300,000 women have been included as study participants. The numbers of participants in many studies are very large -- 10K, 37K, 6...

When I read last month that the Komen Foundation was pinkwashing a perfume I just thought, "What now?" According to Breast Cancer Action this perfume is a chemical soup of toxic substances that are linked with cancer. You can decide for your self, but I support raising a stink! Another taboo topic from Komen is BREAST CANCER PREVENTION. And another is BPA . And yet another is THERMOGRAPHY. Here's a comment from a breast cancer survivor about thermography. She commented on a report that breast cancer survivors need ongoing mammograms. More mammograms = more breast cancer. Where I live the rural hospital doctors do not want to learn anything new according to the administrator, so women in this area will not be able to have the best care. It is no different for men because I have been educating against PSA for at least a decade. I am a breast cancer survivor and I will NEVER have another mammogram. It did not find my tumor the first time(I did) so I do not have any con...
