While modern medicine stresses the importance of routine mammogram scans for women to monitor potential breast cancer risks, there are other ways to check for signs that do not involve exposure to radiation. Dr. Joseph Mercola’s newsletter Why Mammography is NOT an Effective Breast Cancer Screen reveals that there are superior technologies that can help women detect symptoms of breast cancer much earlier. Breast cancer is one of the most prominent cancer killers among women, ranking second only to lung cancer. Using Duke Medical School graduate Dr. Len Saputo’s Beyond Mammography, Mercola shows readers that there are ways to reduce the number of fatalities linked to breast cancer by exploring alternative technologies. However, many patients believe that mammograms are the key to breast cancer diagnosis.
Not so, according to the newsletter, which includes two strong reasons against mammography. First, there is a large percentage of false diagnoses from mammograms, which result in unnecessary radiation treatment and chemotherapy. The second reason in the case against mammography comes from Dr. John Gofman’s Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis. Dr. Gofman writes that the radiation exposure from annual mammograms poses significant risk to actually developing cancer. Think about it: developing cancer from attempting to prevent cancer. There must be a better method.
As it turns out, there seems to be a much better technique of monitoring signs of breast cancer. Both Dr. Mercola and Dr. Saputo discuss the strengths of thermographic breast screening, a safer practice that uses no ionized radiation. Even better, thermographic screening can show signs of cancer up to 10 years in advance.
Explore the information further here, and be sure to ask your doctor about thermographic breast screenings if you currently rely on mammograms for annual checkups.

Ending FDA Restrictions on EstriolAuthor: admin07.24.2008
The Challenge On January 9, 2008, the FDA sent numerous pharmacies, large and small, an order to stop using estriol, and the term “bio-identical” in their hormone replacement formulas. This was an unprecedented attack on compounders, patients and physicians because until then not a single compounded drug component with a USP monograph had been withdrawn from circulation unless there had been evidence of harm to patients. Yet that is what the FDA did. Furthermore, the FDA admitted in their press conference that there is no evidence of harm to any patient from the use of estriol in compounds. If they can do it to estriol, they can do it to anything they wish to! In response, Congress introduced House Concurrent Resolution 342 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 88. These resolutions call on the FDA to stop their new policy of restricting women’s access to prescriptions containing estriol. This is one of our best courses of action to restore estriol’s availability to the market. The resolution also calls on the need of FDA to respect the physician-patient relationship and recognizes that doctors, not the FDA, are in the best position to determine which medications are appropriate for their patients. It also points out the FDA has acknowledged that it is unaware of any adverse events associated with the use of estriol over the past three decades. AAHF was proud to sponsor 2 full-page ads in Roll Call to support these resolutions (Ad 1, Ad 2). Additionally, we organized a coordinated effort of groups to write a letter to support (click here for the list) and hand-delivered the letters to every member of Congress. The Action Our challenge to you is this: can you help us get 100 sponsors in 100 days? We currently have 45 sponsors on House Con. Res. 342 and only 3 sponsors for S. Con. Res. 88 (introduced last month) but in order to be successful, we must have more Congressional support. And you can help us get that.
