(NaturalNews) Mammography is a cruel medical hoax. As I have described here on Natural News many times, the primary  purpose of mammography is not to "save" women from cancer, but to recruit  women into false positives that scare them into expensive, toxic treatments  like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.
The "dirty little secret" of  the cancer industry is that the very same oncologists who scare women into  falsely believing they have breast cancer are also the ones pocketing huge  profits from selling those women chemotherapy drugs. The conflicts of  interest and abandonment of ethics across the cancer industry is  breathtaking.
Now, a new scientific study has confirmed exactly what I've  been warning readers about for years: most women "diagnosed" with breast  cancer via mammography never had a cancer problem to begin with!

93% of "early detection" has no benefit to the patient

That's the  conclusion of a groundbreaking new study published in the New  England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
"We found that the introduction  of screening has been associated with about 1.5 million additional women  receiving a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer," writes study co-author Dr.  Gilbert Welch.
Now, at first, you might think that's a good thing. You  might think, "Well, early detection saves lives, just like we've been told by  Komen and the cancer  non-profits."
But you'd be wrong. As Dr. Welch's team discovered, there  was virtually no reduction in late-stage breast cancer from all this "early"  diagnosis, meaning that most women who were told they had breast cancer after  a mammogram were being lied to.
As he explains:
We found  that there were only around 0.1 million fewer women with a diagnosis of  late-stage breast cancer. This discrepancy means there was a lot of overdiagnosis:  more than a million women who were told they had early stage cancer -- most of  whom underwent surgery, chemotherapy or radiation -- for a "cancer" that was  never going to make them sick. Although it's impossible to know which women  these are, that's some pretty serious harm.
Yep, it is. In fact, if  you do the math and calculate 0.1 million fewer women with advanced-stage cancer  out of 1.5 million who were diagnosed, 93% of the "early detection" cancer  cases studied were false positives,  meaning that they would never have gone on to cause advanced-stage cancer  anyway.

Chemo, radiation, cancer surgery largely a hoax

According to these  scientists, "Breast cancer was overdiagnosed (i.e., tumors were detected on  screening that would never have led to clinical symptoms) in 1.3 million U.S.  women in the past 30 years."
That's 1.3 million women who were told by  their lying oncologists: "If you don't agree to treatment, you'll be dead in six  months" (or two years, or whatever fraudulent scare schedule they  use).
Under the threat of this fear, most women cave in and agree to  start "treatment" -- often on the very same day they are falsely diagnosed. This  so-called "treatment" consists of a highly toxic injection of deadly chemicals  that the oncologist makes a small fortune selling to the very same patients he  falsely diagnosed. Yep, that's right: Cancer clinics and oncology treatment  centers make huge profits on the chemotherapy drugs they sell to patients  -- the very same patients they scared into treatment through a false positive  mammogram.
Despite the near-total failure of mammography from a  scientific point of view, the propaganda push for mammography is downright  deafening. As Dr. Welch explains in his New  York Times article:
...No other medical test has been as  aggressively promoted as mammograms -- efforts that have gone beyond persuasion  to guilt and even coercion ("I can't be your doctor if you don't get one"). And  proponents have used the most misleading screening statistic there is: survival  rates. A recent Komen foundation campaign typifies the approach: In short, tell  everyone they have cancer, and survival will [statistically]  skyrocket.
Komen for the Cure, of course, has been caught blatantly  lying about the supposed "benefits" of mammography. Their statistical  deception fools most women, sadly, convincing them to undergo toxic chemotherapy  for a "breast cancer" they never really had.

The quackery of modern oncology

Once women begin the chemotherapy for a  cancer they don't even have, they begin to experience what the quack oncologist  calls "symptoms of cancer." Their hair falls out. They lose their appetite.  Their muscles atrophy. They become weak, mentally confused and chronically  fatigued. The cancer doctor then tells the woman, "You must be strong to pull  through this while the medicine is working."
Pure quackery! You  could do much better invoking voodoo or even just wishing to be cured.  Because everything about the cancer experience in modern medicine -- the  diagnosis, the "treatment," the medical authority -- is utterly and maliciously  fabricated for the purpose of generating cancer industry profits.

"Better" technology leads to more false positives

There is no more  apparent example of modern-day medical quackery than the cancer industry. Armed  with ever-more-precise mammography machines, the rate of false positive  diagnoses has shot through the roof.
As Dr. Welch writes in the New  York Times:
Six years ago, a long-term follow-up of a randomized  trial showed that about one-quarter of cancers detected by screening were  overdiagnosed. And this study reflected mammograms as used in the 1980s. Newer  digital mammograms  detect a lot more abnormalities, and the estimates of overdiagnosis have risen  commensurately: now somewhere between a third and half of screen-detected  cancers.
Got that? Many cancer diagnoses from mammography are utterly  false. But they are a great scare tactic for recruiting women into what  can only be called a "cult of  cancer" in which they are manipulated into poisoning themselves with chemicals.  They are later called "cancer survivors" if the poison doesn't manage to kill  them.
These cancer survivors are, of course, victims of a malicious  medical cult that I call "the Cult of Komen." In nearly all cases, it wasn't the  cancer that nearly killed them... it was the treatment!

The cult of Komen

Modern day people sneer and snort at the Jim Jones  mass suicide cult of 1978, thinking, "How could those cult members be so stupid  to poison themselves to death?"
Look around, folks, because the cancer  industry has taken the Jim Jones formula and multiplied it by a factor of a  million. The "Cult of Komen" is the modern-day Jim Jones "suicide cult."  It's a cult where people "believe" in the promise of salvation through chemical  indoctrination, but what's actually delivered to them is rotting death, pain,  suffering and humiliation. (Many cancer surgeons operating today literally slice off women's  breasts following a false positive cancer diagnosis, maiming her for  life.)
One of the earmarks of this cult is the worship of self-mutilation. It's not just the women who are manipulated into having  their breasts sliced off by surgeons; it's also the women who are manipulated  into being injected with deadly poisons that destroy their kidneys, livers and  brains. The No. 1 side effect of chemotherapy, by the way, is cancer.
Like any cult, the cancer industry cult pushes its  delusions with emotionally-charged propaganda and powerful symbols (pink  ribbons). Millions of women get innocently swept up into the "run for the cure,"  apparently clueless to the fact that most  of that "cure" money goes to pay for more mammograms that res... which ensnare yet more women into the same victimization  racket.
Thus, the very women who participate in raising money for these  pink ribbon cult worship-fests are actually paying for the mammogram machines  that will recruit more women into the same cult via a quack diagnosis followed  by a "campaign of fear and terror" carried out by oncologists against women.  What the cancer industry is doing today is, by any measure, a crime against  women. It's also a form of cultural mutilation of women, much like  we've seen in Aztec, Mayan and various African cultures throughout  history.
Is the Cult of Komen a criminal operation? Almost certainly. Is  it scientific? Not a chance. There is nothing "scientific" about the modern-day  cancer industry other than the scientific manipulation of women's fears and  emotions. What Komen and the cancer industry lacks in ethics, science or facts,  it more than makes up for in tactics of linguistic influence,  arm-twisting and flat-out  lying to the public about the over-hyped benefits of mamm....
The  cancer industry isn't in the business of curing cancer, after all. But it is in  the business of catapulting the propaganda of the delusional cancer cult.  As Dr. Welch explains:
Screening proponents have also encouraged the  public to believe two things that are patently untrue. First, that every woman  who has a cancer diagnosed by mammography  has had her life saved (consider those "Mammograms save lives. I'm the proof"  T-shirts for breast cancer survivors). The truth is, those survivors are much  more likely to have been victims of overdiagnosis.
Thus, all those  women marching around with pink T-shirts that say, "Mammograms save lives" are  actually declaring themselves to be the unwitting victims of a scientific  campaign of targeting women, scaring women into treatment they don't need, then  maiming women with toxic chemicals or surgeons' knives.
If those pink  T-shirts actually told the truth, they should say, "I survived the cancer  industry."
The big question in all this, of course, is: For how long will  western civilization continue to live under the spell of the Cult of Komen? How  many million women have yet to be sacrificed to the false quackery of  mammography and the scam of modern oncology?
And more importantly, why do  families allows their own mothers, daughters, aunts and grandmothers to be  poisoned and maimed right in front of their own eyes, while they all sit back  and submit to the false authority of profit-seeking doctors who practice nothing  more than pure quackery?

Modern oncology represents the Dark Ages of western medicine

There will  come a day, I have repeatedly predicted, when the modern practice of  chemotherapy will be relegated to the history books of bad medicine, alongside  sniffing mercury vapors and surgically removing body organs to  treat mental disorders.
Until that day comes, countless numbers of  innocent women will be tricked into being mutilated, chemically poisoned, and  blasted with ionizing radiation by cruel doctors who frankly don't care one bit  how many women they maim or murder as long as they get reimbursed by Medicare  for the procedures.
That's the truth about the cancer industry you won't  hear from Komen (nor from any of its pink ribbon cult followers).

The conclusion from the study authors

Despite substantial increases  in the number of cases of early-stage breast cancer detected, screening  mammography has only marginally reduced the rate at which women present with  advanced cancer. Although it is not certain which women have been affected, the  imbalance suggests that there is substantial overdiagnosis, accounting for  nearly a third of all newly diagnosed breast cancers, and that screening is  having, at best, only a small effect on the rate of death from breast  cancer.
