"Who can be trusted, if your culture is the greatest enemy of your health? Can you trust your culture's leading authorities and culture will your government? Can you trust your culture of the private sector?"
We asked these questions in 1995, at the end of the book, Dressed To Kill: The link between breast cancer and bras. Prior to our book, we have sent the information on our research at the National Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society,'S President Cancer Control, American Medical Women's Association, National Organization for Women, Women's Health Network National Women's Health Centre and National Resources. There was no answer. Not one. Given the lack of interest, we decided to publish our findings in a book, get the information directly to women who needed to hear.
But women are the message?
E 'was published 12 years ago our book. During this period, more than 500,000Women in the U.S. alone have died of breast cancer, with another two million have been diagnosed with this terrible disease - a disease that is preventable in many cases simply by loosening or removing the bra. Yet, these life-saving information has actively suppressed and censored by the medical and lingerie.
Examples of repression and censorship
A large public relations firm in New York City was ready and willing to help us release theseInformation for the public. "My wife has just had breast cancer, and I'm sure you're right," the head of the house was. A lot of media and celebrations planned. Days later, however, pulled his offer to help the company, which says that one of his clients, a large medical center, has challenged his work with us.
In Sydney, Australia agreed public relations firm to publicize our work, if we have made efforts to reach their country. But he alsovice versa. We have been asked if all conflicts of interest, such as lingerie had clients in the industry. They said they had none. But as it turned out, they are a pharmaceutical company, conflict management, for a breast cancer treatment and prevention of breast cancer and its treatment are explained.
The lingerie of the Council (the U.S. Association for the multi-billion dollar industry bra) threatened ourEditor, Avery Publishing Group, with a lawsuit if Dressed To Kill was released. The publisher said that the public, the word would spread. The dress has never been realized.
After the book was published, the NBC television network was to show the latest news, tour dates, are interested in this story on our work. We have been largely skeptical of a reporter who interviewed a trailer. The story was then stopped abruptly. The manufacturer claims the confidence that the policy of General Electric,NBC is the owner, to prevent the broadcast news that can have a negative effect on other interests GE. As it happens, GE is a manufacturer of mammography equipment.
Women's magazines such as Glamour, Self, and other courses sentence stories critical of our work, and the search for "experts" to encourage women continue to wear a bra. Elle magazine planned a story for the positive / cancer bra off, but was forced to pull in advertisers the story of a bra. On many newspapers around theWorld, like the Guardian in Britain, the stories were made before the publication of fear that they pulled "panic the public," including their underwear advertisers.
The British Fashion Council (the Council, the British equivalent of underwear) has published the Handbook of Breast Health in 1996, efforts to oppose us. They announced the formation of the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Foundation, the genetic background was to receive donations from sales BHbreast cancer. researching the book critical of our work and said: "The idea that wearing a bra promotes cancer by scavenging toxins from the Institute of Advanced Studies was Culturogenic (sic) in Hawaii. researchers have made more August establishments prompt researchers recently released that talk. "Without medical evidence or research, the book informs women wearing bras is a need for health, and should be taken as soon as possible in lifeBreast prevent damage.
Our original publisher, Avery, was bought by the giant Penguin Putnam in 1998. The new editor does not list the book for three years and refused to issue to holders of copyright, singer and Grismaijer back. The book was not running, and it was accepted, went out of print. Finally, after repeated requests from the publishing rights to us was published in October 2001. (ISCD Press has been keeping it in print, then.)
A television documentary in 2000 called on Channel 4 in Britain, has produced Bras-The Bare Facts. In the documentary, women with fibrocystic breast disease were 100 BH-free for 3 months to document the effect on breast pain and cysts. Two prominent within British surgeons conducted the study. The results were surprising, and clearly showed that the bra is a serious health risk. We were discussing the scope of the respondents BH /> Link Cancer, the doctors were considered highly plausible and important by the respondents. Some theorized that, in addition to the impairment of lymphatic BH may also breast cancer due to overheating. The documentary made headlines in British Commonwealth countries around the world, but no mention of them was ever made in the United States. The next day, headlines in the United Kingdom tried to suppress the fears of the bra / cancer and physiciansStudy quickly distanced itself from the problem of cancer, say women continue to wear a bra. His research for the documentary due to be published in a medical journal, but has never been. It made without further research ever to follow up their work, they said they would do. Wide coverage of the program is available on the web shortly after the broadcast, but most items were removed shortly afterwards.
No follow-up studies have been conducted toconfirm or refute our research. None. As a Harvard study, published in 1991 in the European Journal of Cancer, found that without a bra cancer survivors, women have a lower rate of breast cancer, the results were not the core of the research were implemented and are were unimportant and not pursued further. In fact, apart from our first 1991-1993 Bra and Breast Cancer Study, discussed in detail in Dressed To Kill, and our follow-up research in Fiji, discussedin our book, Get Off!, there are other studies on the bra / cancer does. Not even a letter or a discussion of the topic can be found in every medical journal. After decades of research on breast cancer, the bra is still completely ignored the light and a potential factor. It 's like the study of diseases of the foot and shoe ignoring.
Keep the public Mystified
This lack of research and consequent ignorance, are then used by cancerorganizations to justify further repression of the matter. As the American Cancer Society Breast states on its website, (other than the Harvard study), "There is no scientifically sound studies that cancer is a correlation between wearing Bra and the presence of any kind. Two anthropologists made this association in a book called Dressed to Kill. Their study was not conducted on standard principles of epidemiological research and consequently did not take into Consider other variables, including known risk factors for breast cancer. There is no other credible research to validate this claim in no. "And they do not seem interested in the future short-term funding of such studies less. There are other organizations that are similar to the critical comments on the bra / cancer link to lack of evidence for research, discouraging any research on this topic.
Of particular interest is the breast when> Organizations Cancer antagonist to explain the problem bra / cancer leads to calls to "misinformation" or a "myth", without any scientific study to support them. They say that bras are for women to wear a support key, without proof bras are safe or necessary. Then promote mammograms, cancer drug therapy for prevention (not knowing that the "Prevention Therapy" is an oxymoron) and even preventive mastectomy (which means that theseThose who are at high risk for breast cancer, but do not want to get breast removed as a prevention strategy). Of course it is better to remove the bra in place of the breasts, but the distance BH is not a billable procedure.
Note that bras with other health problems such as headaches, numbness in hands, back pain and other postural problems, cysts, pain, skin depigmentation, and most have been linked. And the lymphatic block, whichResult of constriction of the bra is connected various types of cancer. It 'clear bra / cancer link, the search further, while the women the precaution of loosening.
Why the resistance?
What harm could follow our simple advice, or even the investigation of this question? Because the immune response?
There are three reasons:
1. The bra industry fears lawsuits class action. Many experts have for us, which has allowed the industry for yearsBracket were suspected carcinogen. You know that tight bras cause cysts and pain. It 's just a matter of time, is not made a complaint against a manufacturer of bra. As a defense, the industry is shifting the blame to the client, arguing that most women wear their bras too tight and should have professional accessories. (How to get a good push-up bra?) Breaking ranks with their colleagues in the industry, and tries to use the bad news, other than BHoffer builders, now newly patented claims conventional bras bras to mitigate the damage, including cancer caused by.
2. The medical industry does every year for the detection and treatment of breast cancer. As mentioned earlier, billions, there is a conflict between the prevention and treatment of disease, particularly if prevention does not include drugs or surgery . The fact is that our treatment-oriented, system-for-profit medicalmakes a killing treatment of this disease and has lost billions when out breast cancer with fashion bras.
In addition, BH is the subject of embarrassing many researchers revolutionize the field of breast cancer. Research on breast cancer to date that the cause of ignoring the issue of BH very poor due to explain why the "experts" still not yet over 70% of all breast cancer cases.Cancer Research career, the question ignores the BH must admit the fatal error in their work lives, are not likely to admit their thumbs
3. Finally there is the dogmatic opposition of some women, the identity is to find the part, wants to make sure that their personal bras connected, its risk to develop rather than its BH-free (that women have some told us, in fact.) cultural institutions are women, and as long as our culture despises a natural bustline, manyThe women ridicule, pain, red marks and indentations, cysts and even the threat of cancer to better deal with the potential audience (which it never really happened.)
There are also women, the myth that bras prevent sagging breasts feel. The bra industry is this is a myth, while encouraging it to improve sales. In fact, lead to the decline bras breasts as her breasts from the bra to support and assist the natural mechanisms of atrophy is not toto use.
Despite the resistance, but some women get the news. And many health professionals, bras suspected for years, are now spreading this message. As women and read the news that the removal of her bra also eliminates cysts and pain, spreads the news through word of mouth.
Now there are thousands of sites on the subject, many health professionals including doctors, naturopathic doctors, osteopathic physicians,Chiropractors, massage therapists, lymphatic specialists, nutritionists and others who care for women and help end this epidemic. Grass Roots efforts, this information alive and spread the traditional medical approach to research that has disqualified himself pushed out for lack of interest and conflicts of interest.
If the disease is caused by the culture and habits, attitudes, fashions, and industrial companies, it is necessary to change the resistance. Industries thatdisease is defensive, and the industries that benefit from the contradiction disease. However, the truth is a way to discover, in spite of resistance and repression. Thank God, the truth still has a way out.
