Rallying around what we want-not what we don’t want!
I find it infuriating that there is so promotion of companionship between and support of women around a disease.
I also think that it’s frustrating that all the “research” that is being done is about drugs and fixing the disease. I say let’s have a huge group of women eating all organic food and get regular exercise and fresh air for 20 years and see if the rate of breast cancer goes down. Let’s add in a weekly massage, filtered water and “clean homes” too.
The problem with this solution is that there is no money in the cure! No one will get rich off that.
I’m not saying to not support women with cancer-I’m just saying let’s not let not having cancer stop us from support and companionship.
As a society-let’s look at how our world impacts our health!

Hi, I’m with you about big pharmaceuticals only being into “a cure” and not prevention. I wondered if you’ve heard about the study done re: breast cancer and bras. Your chances of getting breast cancer go way down if you wear a bra less than twelve hours a day, better yet if you don’t wear one. Here’s an article about it.

Down near the bottom are the statistics. The scientists wrote a book called Dressed to Kill. Do you think cancer organizations want to hear about it? I’ve written to some and the answer is NOOOOOO–I assume because they’re funded by the pharmaceutical companies.
Go braless when you can, goddesses!

Are there supportive and non toxic bras? Cause I gotta tell you as a “curvy” woman-going braless would be very uncomfortable during the day and during exercise-plus I wouldn’t want to draw that kind of attention to myself.

Amen to that! We’ve gotta get those drug company and insurance company lobbyists, with their tainted money, out of the way before we can make some real progress on disease preventions and cures. And btw, while we’re at it, get rid of the oil company lobbyists so we can actually start REALLY investing in alternative energy solutions!
