The Breast Views Blog: Hammock Therapy

My daily view is changing for the next few weeks. I will not be connected to our frantic world. I will be doing hammock therapy by a small, fresh lake.

Should you need to chew on more of my views during my absence, please click on over to my other two blogs.

The Breast Views Blog: Breast Enhancement

I'll be clear. I'm not in favour of breast enhancement. Breast implants are risky devises, cosmetic surgery is experimental and the reason everyone and their mother is flocking to beef up their boobs is fueled by BIG BUSINESS our BIG BREAST loving society.

This story gives you a candid look at what women are prepared to overlook in order to get get looked over.
"They're fine if it makes a woman happy."

According to the article, the shame and stigma of getting implants has passed. I wonder if the wisdom and confidence to not get implants will eventually kick in.

The Breast Views Blog: Breast Cancer Drug Hercepetin

Me wonders about the price tag of $100,000.00US per person on Hercepetin, a breast cancer drug that is sucking up a lot of ink in the news these days.

My questions include: How come so expensive? Is the drug made of something rare and near extinction? Or do obscene amounts of PROFIT come before human health?

Then this media release crossed my screen.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 1 /CNW/ -- "Heading into the summer,biotech widely outperformed the Dow and NASDAQ on a year-to-date basis," said G. Steven Burrill, CEO of Burrill & Company, a San Francisco based global leader in life sciences with principal activities in Venture Capital, Merchant Banking and Media. "Yet, when you drill down into the data, this positive performance is not reflective of an 'across the board' trend but attributable to only a handful of companies driving the market.

"There were enough companies that posted stellar gains to keep most of the indices in positive territory," Burrill added. "Topping this list was Genentech. Thanks to some excellent late-stage clinical results on its Avastin and Herceptin cancer drugs and expectations for Lucentis, the company posted a 27% rise in its share price in April and 12% in May.

Genentech now ranks as the seventh largest pharmaceutical company by market cap that stood at $84.8 billion at quarter end," stated Burrill.

Now then, does this seem right to you?

The Breast Views Blog: Stopcancer.org...Stopping Cancer Before it Starts

Liz Armstrong helps me with the writing in the Breast of Canada Calendar, and is a mover and shaker at StopCancer.org.

Liz is all about preventing illness. I'm in total agreement.

Recovering from anything sucks. Recovering from cancer...specifically breast cancer.... from what I've seen and heard....is one hell of a row to hoe.

So, if you're interested in some meaty summer reading, here are a couple of books to consider as recommended by StopCancer.

Life's Delicate Balance - - Causes and Prevention of Breast Cancer
by Janette Sherman.


Having Faith by Sandra Steingraber.

The Breast Views Blog: Drugs Are Us!

My favourite columist, Heather Mallick, pulled out a zinger this week.

Boycotting is my new drug of choice.

Her sentiments about pharmaceuticals dovetail nicely with a previous post. Together they offer even more fodder for ye ole brain to muttle through.

The Breast Views Blog: Bras and Breast Cancer - Women Who Wear Bras Versus Those That Do Not

This from an email I received today.

For the past nine years, I have been assembling information on the possible connections between bra wearing and breast disease. My profession is not in the medical field, but rather biochemisty/toxicology/environmental chemistry, and it was from that perspective that I first learned about bra/disease research.

The Breast Views Blog: Alliance for Natural Health

"We Become Silent", narrated by Dame Judi Dench, is a 28 minute documentary video that exposes the current danger to our health choice freedom. Another words, Vitamins may become illegal drugs.

The Mel Gibson scene captures the essence of this lunacy beautifully....even if you're not a Mel fan, it's well worth a viewing.
