According to a recent study of the Cornell University’s Program on Breast Cancer and Environmental Risk Factors mammograms and other breasts scans clearly play a role in the development of breast cancer in women. This is because the breast tissue seems extraordinarily sensitive to ionic radiation, in the sense that this radiation can cause genetic mutations on a microscopic level, which then develops into cancer.

“Many in the cancer research community, especially radiobiologists, have been slow to acknowledge and incorporate in their work the idea that cells in human tissues are not independent entities, but are highly communicative with each other and with their microenvironment,” cellbiologist Paul Yaswen of Berkeley Lab’s Life Sciences Division.

Now, of course the majority of people getting these scans are people who are under the suspicion of having cancer already, but even then the radioation could speed up the cancer growth process.

To make matters even worse, all western airports have started using radiation as a preffered method to stripsearch people for illegal objects. The thetawaves uch airport scanner use have been proven to cause genetic mutations on a cellular level too.

Isn’t it about time that science develops a new method to scan patients for cancer? Isnt it WAY as important to find a new method of discovery as finding the mythical cure for this disease? To do so one only has to set up laboratorium conditions in such way that one is able to discover exactly which types of radiation do not cause mutations or, if all of them do, if heatmaps or soundmaps could be a reliable option. Sound? Yes, when whales can detect miles of surroundings and map it with sound, there is no reason why humans can’t be accurately mapped with the same methodology.

Let’s see them develop an ultrasoundscanner against cancer and you will see that the number of patients decreases substantially.
