It's simple. It's money! The pharmeceaticals pay or reward doctors to prescribe their so called medicines. If a Dr was to operate and do a hysterectomy it would be all over yet by putting women on medication for years on end or for life the income just keeps on happening. I would like to refer you to a book called "What your Doctor may not tell you about Breast Cancer" Tamoxifen has been around for over 25 Years. and the "sellers" don't tell you that you could suffer blot clots, diminished quality o flife through hot flushes etc and the deterioration of viion. But by far the bioggest side effect is the development of uterine Cancer. But having said this, if a woman dies of uterine cancer at least the figures for breast cancer don't look as bad hey? What a scam!! So basically it's all about money. The effects of Tamoxifen on breat cancer after 25 years are still being debated. It's not the be all and end all we are led to believe. There are other alternatives. I was told I had to go on it and refused. I have now been cancer free (including my ovaries and uterus) for nearly 4 years since my double mastectomy. I am 100% okay too. I extracted this report below from (NaturalNews) http://www.naturalnews.com But there's a heap more out there for you to research. (A report analyzing the breast-cancer-prevention drug tamoxifen suggests the pharmaceutical's anti-cancer effects don't translate into saved lives. The drug gained fame in the '90s after studies concluded it successfully prevented cancer. But a new computer-simulated study found tamoxifen to have lifesaving benefits that are "very small or nonexistent," except in women who are at the highest levels of risk. Even then, the major side effects -- such as blood clots and uterine cancer -- can far outweigh the benefits. Lead researcher Dr. Joy Melnikow of the University of California-Davis said, "Overall, the impact is not going to be as large as people had originally hoped." The report, which Melnikow and her collegues will publish in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Cancer, is one of the few to analyze deaths related to tamoxifen rather than its effect on tumors. The tumors that tamoxifen has been proven to prevent are less likely to be fatal. In a nutshell, and to answer your question of “What is behind this?” It’s simple. It’s money!

Another friend's physican prescribed Tamoxifen for her as her mother had died from having had breast cancer. Thus my friend was put on Tamoxifen to prevent her from having breast cancer. However, after less than five years of taking that drug, she developed ovarian cancer. She underwent the extensive chemo and radiation and is in "remission." I am sure that these incidents are not rare and so I ask, why when these same women asked to have hysterectomies were they denied them? Apparently Tamoxifen is still given to post menopausal women who have their reproductive organs and anecdotal evidence is and has been mounting that this is not safe. What is behind this? Hello,

I'm not a likely demographic for the main topic of your blogs (not directly, anyway), but I find your posts inspirational and applicable to my life in a number of areas. The whole concept of taking something tragic and redirecting it in a positive and constructive way is very enlightening for me. Good for you.

]]> Comment on VITAMIN D EFFECTIVE CHEMO-PREVENTATIVE AND AGENT by mo79uk http://breastcancersurvivor.wordpress.com/2007/12/30/vitamin-d-effective-chemo-preventative-and-agent/#comment-38 mo79uk Sat, 12 Jan 2008 23:53:21 +0000 http://breastcancersurvivor.wordpress.com/2007/12/30/vitamin-d-effective-chemo-preventative-and-agent/#comment-38 It's a catch 22 isn't it? If we didn't wear clothes (at least not out of Winter) and work was still hunting, we'd be out in the sun lots like our ancestors (and other animals) - from birth. Of course we would seek shade but the bursts of sunshine would tank us up with sufficient D and protect us from many things. If you only go out for major sunbathing infrequently, you're likely to have low vitamin D and despite getting a high shot of D, it's not enough in one session to pack your D tank, and so burning and skin cancer becomes likely. And sunscreen just adds to the cycle of fear and deficiency. It’s a catch 22 isn’t it?
