A young Australian lady has decided to have a full mastectomy because of an identified faulty gene which could lead to breast cancer.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-...l-decision-to-preempt-the-cancer-gene/5432570

Angelina Jolie was the first person I remember doing this ( or maybe I remember because it was well published ) and it seems it's becoming more common. I've also heard of other preemptive procedures and decisions which include birthing considerations etc.

Is this a good thing I'm not sure yet .
 
That's sad. She was bamboozled by the system. If I was a young man again, I would not want her. Not because of the gene, but her beliefs.
 
This is unfortunate :-( I was reading on some big deal alternative doc's website that they're working on more humane alternatives. PARP inhibitors or something like that. The idea is to spot the gene(s) and then, if necessary (and when possible), treat with meds that will keep the genetic issues from leading to cancer. Interestingly enough, this doc said that high dose niacinamide does this to a certain extent, so she recommends it (undoubtedly, with a lot of other stuff and conventional care) for her patients.

I can't blame these people for undergoing the surgery. With all the progress in cancer treatment and all, its still and expensive and not always successful proposition. Just looking at costs, it might actually be cheaper to get the mastectomy and maybe some plastic surgery afterwards than to wait it out and treat cancer, should it develop. Not to mention that all the time spent in chemo and everything can cost you jobs, at least in the US (we're not nice to worker bees here) and strain relationships.

Ugh. Decisions, decisions. I hope they come out with those PARP inhibitors sometime soon....
 
Is this a good thing I'm not sure yet .

it is absolutely evil and wrong. no need for long drawn out argument or discussion. just simply get and read the book "nutrition the cancer answer" or 1000 other books by doctors who have been curing cancer for over 100 years, easily and inexpensively. even terminal cancer, in europe, (britain), is cured 50% of the time by doing what the honest doctors say to do. (after the dishonest doctors have their false proposition, for whatever reason (usually, prestige or money of both, and a lot of ignorance or just plain willful st.p.d.t.)....

max gerson testified before congress of the united states not too long ago. He's the only licensed doctor to testify before congress that i ever heard of, with extensive searching for a few decades, btw.
max gerson testified in order to get approval to use after 'allowed study' (i.e. legally) proven methods to cure cancer.
of course, he was publicly and privately denied. (but thousands every year still study his methods and clinics all over the world still do what dr. max gerson said to do to eliminate cancer). it still works. it's just not "OFFICIAL" american medical 'protocol'. "UN-officially", the american cancer clinics are using these natural and preventive and nutritional helps more and more and more, but 'secretly' (openly without saying ) and at great cost ($10000 per half hour VS $10 actual cost or $200 medical costs under an honest doctor)...

a regular normal person with an eighth grade english education can find 30 cures used world wide in about 3 hours diligent searching, or 3 days casual reading. but it is still openly illegal to use any of the known proven cures used world wide (and formerly used in the usa(prior to 1950), in the untied states. IF seven different people go searching for good information, they will all be successful and all will work in conjunction with the others even if they look in different countries ! (because all of them are related to de-toxify and nutrify ! :) i.e. take out the poisons and give nutrients.

i.e. read read read search search search read read read pray pray pray (well, pray first)
 
p.s. over 1000 doctors have proven that no one gets sick at all unless they are deficient in one or more minerals. this includes colds, high blood p., dbetes, ms, etc etc etc...... so searching can reveal a lot of information BEFORE DR OZ puts it on his show on nationwide tv. (most of what I just posted, and in other places, has been on TV NATIONWIDE for the last six months!)
 
I can't imagine a young woman doing this. All of life is a risk, we could cut most of our bodies away until we're just a brain in a jar of brine and we still be at risk. I don't think that's what God intended for us. God gave us life to enjoy...live it.
 
From what i have read she was to have a single because of cancer in the one...if that is so removing the second is not so far out.
 
I've wondered if giving birth and breast feeding provides some kind of insulation against these cancers but the studies are inconclusive.
 
carey reams proved conclusively, as did thousands of others (summarized for laymen by maureen salaman), that cancer is simply a deficiency disease. l..k.m.., pr.st.t., br..st, sk.n, c.nc.rs are all caused or allowed in the body when there is a nutritional lack. thus, to pr.v.nt or to reverse that is straight-forward, (same as with most of the bodies troubles), and it is many many more times effective than the all-too-oft used synthetic and manmade options.
also, when given a choice - charge 100k, or charge under 2k, most people who are in a position to do so will charge 100k, without even considering offering the less expensive option. like a car salesman - if he can sell a 100,000 car instead of a 5,000 volkswagon :) , well, he sells the more expensive one. (I've only met one honest car salesman in my life. I went in for the under 6000 subaru, and he didn't try the bait and switch to try to get me into the more expensive cars that included tires and steering wheel :) :) :) )
 
It's neither good nor bad. It's a personal decision someone made about their body.
.

Yeah I can't disagree Gaz but there's something about it that bothers me and it isn't cosmetic or against our right to do what we think is best fort our health. I can't put my finger on it.

"Texas Town Has Healthy Turnaround Thanks To Plant-Based Diet"
((edit;insert: Israel had health once , and again - their 'turnaround' was away from health, as also happened in america between 1902 and 1935))

this town, marshall,tx , starting with the mayor, has improved health so much by a change in diet that it is now changing peoples lives worldwide - people who wouldn't 'change' on advice of their friends or 'health nuts' they knew, are starting to change because they can see more clearly how many people are helped - losing weight, getting off medicines while still under a doctor's supervision (because their disease goes away in as little as 28 days), and so on.

this is nothing new. the control of health via diet has been known since adam and eve ... ... ...

pastor josephson in kansas was diagnosed with terminal cancer. he changed his diet based on what is written in the Bible, and a year later wrote the book "God's Key to Health and Happiness", still available as far as I know from his wife in kansas.

admittedly, why the news stations are now openly publicizing 'good news' about being able to 'easily' cure cancer and high blood pressure and diabetes (admittedly, type one is very difficult and more rare to get free of; type two is practically 100% 'curable'), arthritis, shingles, chicken pox, flu, heart-burn(so easy, usually 15 minutes or less), migraines and so on ... .. .. ..
why the news stations are now openly publicizing all this (and dr.oz has been on the very popular tv show for a year or more)
is not only suspect, but subject to prayerful preparedness -- as the government continues to 'crack down' on small farmers, amish and mennonite healthy milk , meat and vegetable sales nationwide and canada,
and laws are already in place to .. .. well, plain and simple 'control' the entire populace just as it is written in Revelation and in the Old Testament clearly.

the Word of God has clear instructions for "who-so-ever" will call on the Name of the Lord, and a promise that "none of these diseases" that afflict other nations will afflict you , "even when 1000 fall on your right side, and 10000 fall on your left side" so the information is nothing new.
but publicizing it openly on television in america is new - my own parents and family grew up in missouri, and with the rest of the country were told to "do whatever the doctor tells you" , usually almost always in the favor and profit of the drug makers and not in favor of health and well-being.

"we will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord, even Jehovah is our strength and our song"

Isaiah 12:2-4
Amplified Bible (AMP)
2 Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and song; yes, He has become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy will you draw water from the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day you will say, Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name and by means of His name [in solemn entreaty]; declare and make known His deeds among the peoples of the earth, proclaim that His name is exalted!
