{Support National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month with a Scoop of Ice Cream

Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream and the National
Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations (NABCO)
are uniting to educate Americans about good
breast health during National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. Through the end of October,
Dreyer's will feature pink ribbons on its
Grand Light, No Sugar Added and Fat Free No
Sugar Added ice creams, as well as Frozen
Yogurt, Fat Free Frozen Yogurts and Sherbet.

Consumers who scoop up a carton can help raise
up to $250,000 for NABCO and its nationwide
education and information programs that encourage
women to seek early detection.}

Many people feel that methodologies employed in
early detection (repeated x-ray mammographies)
are a leading cause of breast cancer. Recent
studies prove that breast cancer early
detection x-rays do not affect breast cancer
incidence or lessen death rates.

What hurts so much is that the cause is being
promoted as the means to discovering a cure.

Who in their right mind will buy ice cream to
prevent breast cancer? American women, that's who.

Please print this column and make a flyer. Hand
it out at your supermarket. Stick it in somebody's
cart or in the windshield of their car. Place it
in the ice cream section.

Twelve pounds of milk are required to produce
one pound of ice cream.

Each sip of cow's milk contains estrogen,
which has been identified as a key factor in
promoting breast cancer cell growth. Milk also
contains a powerful growth hormone called
insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I).

There are hundreds of millions of different
proteins in nature, and only one hormone that
is identical between any two species. That
powerful growth hormone is IGF-I, and it is
an exact match in the cow's body and the human
body. Drink one glass of cow's milk and a
female doubles the amount of free circulating
IGF-I in her body. Eat one portion of ice
cream and one consumes 12 times the amount of
this powerful cancer accelerator. IGF-I survives
digestion and has been identified as the key factor
in breast cancer's growth.

If you believe that breast feeding "works" to protect
lactoferrins and immunoglobulins from digestion (and
benefit the nursing infant), you must also recognize
that milk is a hormonal delivery system. By drinking
cow's milk or eating ice cream, one delivers IGF-I
in a bioactive form to the body's cells. When IGF-I
from cow's milk alights upon an existing cancer...

Thessa:

Thanks for the article. They are starting in already promoting breast cancer awareness month. They want to get as many women as they can to go for a mammogram so they can find some calcification or something.

They don't have a cure. They just want to sell more surgeries and drugs.

We have to get the message out about prevention and alternative treatments!!

Thanks, Thessa.

And we have been donating money to these idiots?

Namaste`
