Comments on: Why BCAction will never underestimate environmental toxins http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/?p=1609 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:06:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jo Firth http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/?p=1609&cpage=1#comment-1351 Jo Firth Sat, 24 Sep 2011 00:41:19 +0000 http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/?p=1609#comment-1351 While there is a total focus on cancer we are missing the point of what we can do to not get it in the first place. In Australia I have recently stopped my business of offering a non-invasive and comfortable form of breast imaging looking at the electrical properties of breast tissue. i am currently under investigation by the "consumer protection" and anti-competition agency who claim that we may be seen as an equivalent or alternative to mammography. Evidently women should only have a mammogram (even though a good portion of the female population are excluded from screening mammograms). i have had amazing support from my database who are outraged that their right to choose how they manage their breast health is being taken away from them. Oh, the agency has said they are targetting all other companies in Australia offering new commercially available technologies for breast imaging.

It's a travesty how environmental toxins are being downplayed when they are such a key component. Fight the good fight and thank you! In full agreement.

I must say that the very next day, after publication of the President's Cancer Panel Report, the American Cancer Society pooh-poohed its conclusions, and lost me forever as a volunteer. I applaud BCA for speaking out on these issues. I think you answered well.

I appreciate you taking a stand because so few nonprofits do. The ACS can sometimes be intimidating because they have many powerful people on their Board of Directors that represent drug and chemical companies, so naturally there is a conflict of interest. The ACS doesn't want to insult their major funding sources. I am the founder of Children Against Cancer along with my son, and we were astonished at how much the environmental chemicals cause cancer in children and breast cancer in young adults now. Keep up the good work! ~ Caroline Olson, Phoenix, Arizona Hi Karuna ~
