RADIATION DOSE FROM PROCEDURES

RADIATION DOSE FROM PROCEDURES

Radiation is cumulative. Even the radiation you may have gotten from the shoe-fitting fluoroscope is still with you. 15,000 people die every year from cancers caused by radiation from CT scans.  And children who had a CT scan had a 24% higher risk for developing cancer, with a 16% additional risk for each additional scan. Children who had one CT scan before age 5 had a 35% higher risk for cancer.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CANCER

This interview was done in 1996. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INFORMATION IS TIMELESS – BOTH THE TRUTH ABOUT CANCER and THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN BIG PHARMA AND SOME CANCER CENTERS AND SOME PHYSICIANS.

On September 8, 2018 the New York Times and ProPublica reported that Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s chief medical officer, Dr. José Baselga, also on the Board of Memorial Sloan-Kettering, failed to disclose millions of dollars’ worth of payments and did not disclose his financial ties from dozens of research articles in prestigious publications like The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. Treatment recommendations could certainly be influenced by a physician’s or a center’s financial entanglements.
