Think Before You Pink

It seems everywhere you look these days, whether on the internet or in the material world, there are "pink" products being sold.  With many items remarkably little money actually gets to the charity and even then I have to wonder... is the charity really on our side anyway?  Are they really an advocate for women's health or are they a machine with their own agenda like, oh... the FDA?  I've made several doctors angry for the last 5 years by refusing mammograms.  Ever since I turned 40, they've been bugging me to get one.  Not because they've seen anything suspicious, but because I was now 40.

I've done my research.  The 'net is great for that.  From what I've seen mammograms actually cause harm.  Not only are they painful (especially for fibrocystic breasts like mine), but they've been known to actually rupture small tumors, thus causing the spread of a cancer that was formerly contained.  Additionally, there are so many false positives.  A mammogram, to me, just looks like the risk outweighs the potential benefit.  I don't feel they have my best interests in mind.

There's cancer, cancer everywhere I look these days.  It's become a huge industry and people are getting rich off of our losses and misery.  Some women are so terrified of cancer they are willingly deforming themselves with pre-emptive mastectomy.  This society does not find cures, and if someone does, they are dismissed publicly as a quack and their funding is taken away.  The current paradigm wants only to find something wrong with you so you can become indoctrinated into the prescription drug system.  Nobody makes any dough off you unless you're sick.  They want you on prescription drugs until you die, which on these drugs is sooner (sometimes much sooner) than you planned.

Below is a great article on this very topic that I found on the 'net.  I get a newsletter from these folks that's just great too.  If you'd like to talk about what's going on in the health care industry, you can go to my forum.

The text in the table below my bold print is excerpted from this article by Mike Adams without permission.  However, I did link to the original article and website.  I'm not profiting from this article, but seek only to aid in getting the word out to as many people as possible.

This article is about the breast cancer deception and the Pink Ribbon Campaign.  I encourage you, no... implore you to go to the site and read more.  And then go to www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org and read even more.  Learn to save yourself, your mother, your sister, your daughter, your friend... and learn where these dollars are going and whether they even contribute to something you want to support.

Everything not controlled by conventional medicine and the profit-seeking drug companies is discredited as quackery. All the supporting evidence is thrown out, and conventional doctors even scare women away from therapies that could help them by, for example, convincing all chemotherapy patients to avoid pursuing antioxidant nutritional support based on the utterly false medical myth that antioxidants "interfere" with chemotherapy treatments. (In reality, they merely protect healthy cells from the toxic effects of chemotherapy.)

Overall, the cancer industry, through its false authority and domineering posture, has not only discredited all systems of medicine other than its own, it has long succeeded in outlawing most competing systems, transforming experienced herbalists (who retain the knowledge of countless generations of native medicinal wisdom) into criminals. This is why all the cutting-edge cancer clinics in the world are located outside the United States. The practice of curing cancer -- a common outcome in alternative cancer clinics -- has been outlawed in the United States. It is actually illegal for a master herbalist, for example, to even attempt to cure a patient of cancer. Such an act could land them in federal prison.

This strategy by the cancer industry effectively keeps women in a state of ignorance about cancer solutions that could actually cure them. It disempowers women, turning them into victims of treatments dictated to them by men who, as CEOs of the top cancer institutions and drug companies, profit handsomely from every round of chemotherapy, radiation or cancer surgery prescribed to a woman.

Because of all this, the symbol of the breast cancer industry in the United States -- the pink ribbon -- is not at all a symbol of compassion or caring. It is not a symbol of empowering women, or educating women about so-called "treatment options." The pink ribbon is a symbol of male-dominated control over women. Turn the pink ribbon upside down, and it looks more like a noose. It is from this noose that innocent women everywhere hang themselves through ignorance, submitting to a treatment system that intentionally denies women access to a world of information that could help them prevent, treat and even cure breast cancer.

Chemotherapy, you'll soon learn, actually causes heart failure, brain damage and permanent kidney damage. Submitting to conventional chemo treatments for breast cancer makes you a patient for life due to all the organ problems you're likely to experience as a result of the chemo.

"Breast cancer has been transformed into a market-driven industry. It has become more about making money for corporate sponsors than funding innovative ways to treat breast cancer." - Health Studies researcher Samantha King, author of Pink Ribbons Inc.

Wearing pink for breast cancer, or buying pink products, is a demonstration of your support for the enslavement of women by a highly-unethical industry that seeks to turn women's bodies into profit centers. Wearing pink shouts, "I support the ignorance of women! I support Big Pharma! I support male-dominated corporate control over the health of women's breasts!"

Buying pink products sends the same message. Whether it's a can of soup, a pair of pink batteries or even a pink "vacation" (yes, they do exist), these products are jumping on the pink bandwagon for one reason only: consumers buy it. Painting any product pink results in a sales surge.

The marketing push for pink products is so strong now that many companies selling products that actually cause cancer have jumped on the pink bandwagon! It's a practice called "pinkwashing," and when you see things like toxic cosmetics and chemically-manufactured personal care products sporting the pink ribbons and pledging to support breast cancer research, you have to stop and ask yourself the obvious question: Don't these products actually CAUSE breast cancer? Yes, many of them do.

The truth is there's no accountability in the donations stemming from the sales of such pink products. Buying a can of soup branded with a pink ribbon, for example, may generate a whole of two cents in donations. And where do those donations go? Are they spent on nutritional education programs for women? Of course not - they often go into the pockets of pro-pharmaceutical non-profit groups (like the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation) that have very strong ties to drug companies and actually receive much of their funding from those companies. In effect, these are drug company "front groups" that engage in disease mongering and push mass screening in order to multiply the number of people being "treated" for breast cancer. The only allowed treatments, of course, are those that financially benefit the drug companies and conventional medicine practitioners.

The solution? Think before you pink! See the website of the honest non-profit, Breast Cancer Action, at www.ThinkBeforeYouPink.org to learn more.
