[Editor’s Note: The article you are about to read was written by author Barry Lynes, but I included the E mail below forwarded by natural health advocate Chris Gupta <mbgupta@uwo.ca> to the host/interviewer of Canada’s This Morning TV show. Chris is always ready to call propagandists for the medical cartel onto the carpet and has helped to steer thousands of people towards natural health solutions by alerting them to the carefully packaged orthodox gobbledygook typically presented by the media advocating the ‘benefits’ of screening mammography. As for muckraker Barry Lynes, he has probably done more worldwide to expose the criminal destructiveness and greed of the American Medical Mafia through the revealing and well researched books he has written on the monstrous suppression of the cancer curing work of Dr. Royal Rife.

Shehagh,
Thought your interviews on the above CBC May 2nd 2001 "This Morning"
program was a bit stale. For some reason mammography centric media and medicine
have completely overlooked the much safer thermal and infrared imaging
technologies... Further no comment was made regarding dangers of X-Ray
exposure.
While Dr. Baines started to provide some balance on the subject, but in the
end, she also capitulated to the industry pitch on Mammography very sad indeed.
Think you might find the attached historical book excerpt on mammography
educational. You will find little that has changed; commercial concerns
continue to override health issues. The book reference is cited at the end of
the article.

The Depths of Deceit,
Mammography
By Barry Lynes
The great deceit began in the early 1970s. It was concocted by insiders at the
American Cancer Society (ACS) and their "friends" at the National
Cancer Institute (NCI). The number of women who were put "at risk" or
who died as a result of this nefarious scheme is not known, but estimated to be
huge. The Director of the NCI at the time of this massive abuse of the
public trust later left government service and took a high paying position at
ACS (sort of a payoff).
The American Cancer Society's self serving program (financial scheme) continues
to the present day (1999) and probably into the 21st century until enough women
realize the stakes and force an end to the lie and the terrible dangers.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) particularly wanted to push mammography
because it could be tied in with the Society's own financial objectives (keep
in mind the ACS slogan "a check and a checkup"). And the
radiologists, of course, loved the ACS program. There were few, if any,
powerful voices individual or institutional which cried out,
"No!" or "God No! Don't do this. NO. NO. NO."
The collusive attack on healthy American women happened because "the fix
was in." Powerful politicians and the media were silent. Silent as
sleeping sentinels while a determined, aggressive, self-serving gang of
sophisticated operatives manipulated the nation's entire cancer program to suit
its own interests. And to hell with the millions of American women who would
pay the price for the next thirty years or more, well into the 21st century.
In 1978, Irwin J. D. Bross., Director of Biostatistics at Roswell Park Memorial
Institute for Cancer Research commented about the cancer screening program:
"The women should have been given the information about the hazards of
radiation at the same time they were given the sales talk for mammography...
Doctors were gung ho to use it on a large scale. They went right ahead and X
rayed not just a few women but a quarter of a million women... A jump to
the exposure of a quarter of a million persons to something which could do more
harm than good was criminal and it was supported by money from the federal
government and the American Cancer
Society." (P1)
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) was warned in 1974 by professor Malcolm C.
Pike at the University of Southern California School of Medicine that a number
of specialists had concluded that "giving a women under age 50 a mammogram
on a routine basis is close to unethical." (P2)
Repeat... The experts in the government were told not to do this to healthy
women in the YEAR 1974! The warning was ignored because Mary Lasker (whose
husband was the dark advertising devil behind the Lucky Strike cigarette
advertising campaigns) and her advertising / promotional / corporate power types
at the American Cancer Society (ACS) wanted mammography. Everyone else could go
to hell. What Mary and her powerful political allies wanted in the cancer
world, they got. Everyone else, including the public, was ignored.
By the early 1980s, NCI and ACS were at it again. They jointly put forth new
guidelines promoting (again!) ... annual breast X Rays for women under age 50.
They just simply refused to give up their lucrative racket. (One official
candidly admitted the publicity brought in more research money for both
institutions.) They refused to do what was not in their personal, empire
building interest no matter the cost in human lives.
".doctors and their patients assumed that there was good evidence
supporting those recommendations. But at the time, only one study showed
positive benefit and the results were not significant." (P3)
In 1985, the respected British medical journal The Lancet, one of the five
leading medical journals in the world, published an article which ripped the
NCI-ACS propaganda to shreds. It not only (again!) exposed the original
onslaught by the high level ACS NCI conspirators in the early middle 1970s
against a quarter million unsuspecting American women, but reviled the
continuing 1980s ACS NCI propaganda.
"Over 280,000 women were recruited without being told that no benefit of
mammography had been shown in a controlled trial for women below 50, and
without being warned about the potential risk of induction of breast cancer by
the test which was supposed to detect it ......in women below 50... mammography
gives no benefit..." (P4)
But nothing happened. Mammography was known to cause cancer but the media and
the "health officials" in the government stayed silent! The
mammography policy pushed by the American Cancer Society to fill its bank
account remained the U.S. government policy for ten more years until a massive
Canadian study showed conclusively what was known 20 YEARS before but what was
not in the interests of ACS and NCI to admit: X raying the breasts of women younger
than age 50 provided no benefit and probably endangered their lives.
In February 1992 Samuel Epstein, professor at the University of Illinois
Medical Center in Chicago, a tireless opponent of the "cancer
establishment," along with 64 other distinguished cancer authorities
opposing the status quo thinking, warned the public about the ACS NCI
shenanigans. The ACS and NCI (like long married felons caught in a crime
together) were outraged, terming Dr. Epstein's reference to the breast studies
as "unethical and invalid."
The next month, the Washington Post broke the story into the mainstream media
(finally!). It published an article by Dr. Epstein which exposed what the ACS
and their insider "friends" at NCI had done to countless women twenty
years earlier and continued for twenty years until 1992. Dr. Epstein wrote:
"The high sensitivity of the breast, especially in young women, to
radiation induced cancer was known by 1970. Nevertheless, the establishment
then screened some 300,000 women with X ray dosages so high as to increase
breast cancer risk by up to 20 percent in women aged 40 to 50 who were
mammogrammed annually. Women were given no warning whatever; how many
subsequently developed breast cancer remains uninvestigated.
".Additionally, the establishment ignores safe and effective alternatives
to mammography, particularly trans illumination with infrared scanning.
".For most cancers, survival has not changed for decades. Contrary claims
are based on rubber numbers." (P5)
The crimes described were crimes. They were not errors of judgment. They were
not differences of scientific opinion. They were conscious, chosen, politically
expedient acts by a small group of people for the sake of their own power,
prestige and financial gain, resulting in suffering and death for millions of
women. They fit the classification of "crimes against humanity."
In December of 1992, the New York Times published facts about the Mammography
scam. The story included the following:
"Dr. I. Craig Henderson, director of the clinical cancer center at the
University of California in San Francisco, said, 'We have to tell women the
truth' ...
"Dr. Robert McLelland, a radiologist at the University of North Carolina
School of Medicine, said... 'In our zeal to promote mammography, we as
radiologists and I'm one of them haven't looked at the evidence.' "
(P6)
In July 1995, the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet blasted
(again) the whole ACS NCI mammography scam into global awareness:
"The benefit is marginal, the harm caused is substantial, and the costs
incurred are enormous..." (P7)
But the spreading knowledge of what was going on made no difference to the
bureaucrats "protecting the public" at the NCI and the FDA who had
their empires to protect. And of course the American Cancer Society (ACS)
furiously fought every attempt by those with any honor in the federal agencies
who sought to restrict the number of mammography examinations for
individual women or to extend the age at which a woman had her first one.
Mammography was the American Cancer Society's ".sacred cow" (cash
cow) and they wanted legions of women to begin having annual exams as early as
the ACS could brainwash them into doing ("a check and a checkup").
By 1999, even celebrity poet Maya Angelou was shamefully and ignorantly
promoting Mammography in public service ads on television, parroting the
American Cancer Society's propaganda spiel. Nothing had changed. Those
"protecting the public" at NCI and FDA were doing the exact opposite.
They were hiding, protecting their little empires, while American women were
being needlessly exposed to dangerous, cancer causing X rays.
In September 1999, the full depth of the decades long deceit was explicitly
described in an article in the journal Alternative Medicine. It would reach
relatively few mainstream American women who were being brainwashed by the
"interests" through the mainstream media and pliable state and
federal legislators representatives of the people") but it did provide a
torch glow
in a dark night.
Here's the awful truth it stated baldly like a screaming American eagle to any
American woman fortunate enough to read the hard facts:
".Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the
risk of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth,' says Dr. Charles B.
Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the
National Cancer Institute...
".the annual mammographic screening of 10,000 women aged 5070 will extend
the lives of, at best, 26 of them; and annual screening of 10,000 women in
their 40s will extend the lives of only 12 women per year." (P8)
So there's the lie and the depth of the Mammography Deceit spelled out:
mammography will extend at best 2 women's lives for 10,000 women put at risk in
order to benefit radiologists, the American Cancer Society, assorted
bureaucrats, and other "interested" parties who profit off the vast,
well organized mammography deceit when safe alternatives exist but are ignored!
And that brings us back to the essential issues and fundamental principles
which once guided the American nation into greatness. Which of course forces us
to look again at the cancer empire's tyranny and threat to everything once held
sacred in America.
The fine political thinker Hannah Arendt who studied the Nazi and Soviet
tyrannies, and wrote brilliant works on the evil at the core of fascism and
communism, scolds those of us who today surrender to the bureaucrats,
conscious, unaccountable deceits and tyrannies. Hannah Arendt's words:
". Bureaucracy... the rule by Nobody. Indeed, if we identify tyranny as
the government that is not held to give account of itself, rule by Nobody is
clearly the most tyrannical of all, since there is no one left who could even
be asked to answer for what is being done.
". Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of
political freedom, of the power to act. It enables him to get together with his
peers, to act in concert, and to reach for goals and enterprises which would
never enter his mind, let alone the desires of his heart, had he not been given
this gift to embark upon something new."
It is time for women to try something new, such as the Thermal Image Processor
(TIP) and to toss dangerous mammography, toss the American Cancer Society, and
toss the ACS's lackeys at NCI into the dustbin of history. (P10)
