I read with great interest your article and downloaded the Komen Report.

As a breast cancer survivor who took the drug Premarin/Prempo I know what caused my breast cancer.

My tumor was both estrogen postive and progesterone positive which means it was feeding on the drug I was taking for menopause.

The FDA, and Canadian Health authorities have to stop putting drugs on the market geared towards women that are unsafe and unproven.

Women are in our life times given drugs from the time we are born.

First we are vaccinated as infants with heavy doses of mercury laden vaccines.

A young pre-teen girl is now vacinated against PID disease, then as a young woman put on Birth control pills.

Then as a woman we are given Valium and anti-depressants.

When in her 40’s a woman is give HRT, to help with a natural process called Menopause.

Then she gets breast cancer, and is given Chemotherapy drugs, then when and if she lives through all these carcinogenic and cancer causing drugs she is put in a hospice and given morphine.

I certainly hope that women understand the drugs they are taking from childhood to death are not necessary and contribute to all cancers and death.

Using natural alternatives will not only improve your life, but save it also.

I am a good example, and after taking HRT under much pressure from my doctor, I resolved never to take any drugs again.

Today I am still alive and live to tell other women about drugs and how to heal your own cancer.

It can be cured but not with drugs that kill you.

I too am an ex breast cancer sufferer.
I saw recently that the herb Black Cohosh was supposed to be of benefit
