American Cancer Society: Breast cancer screening and prostate
cancer screening guidelines all wrong.
John McDougall, MD, recaptures the moment of truth in his October 2009 newsletter, which was delivered to subscriber inboxes today (Sunday, November 1st) : Breast cancer screening and prostate cancer screening guidelines all wrong.
As quoted from McDougall's newsletter, "Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society told the New York Times on Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 'We don't want people to panic, but I'm admitting that American medicine has overpromised when it comes to screening. The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.'"
Brawley commented on an article that appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association titled "Rethinking Screening for Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer," spilling the beans about how routine screenings for breast and prostate cancer have been a farce. Not only do these faulty screenings generate millions of dollars for medical and pharmaceutical industries, but screenings are based on an inaccurate assumption of the development and the spread of cancer. In addition, countless people have been maimed and have later lost their lives because these needless screenings have resulted in dubious diagnoses.
The American Cancer Society desperately tried to save face, but there's no doubt that the Society's self-serving screenings for breast and prostate cancer have been detected.
