(NaturalNews) A taxpayer-funded government task force has issued new guidelines that literally urge
healthy women to take toxic cancer drugs "preventively" in order to
allegedly decrease their risk of developing breast cancer. As recently
promoted by The New York Times (NYT), these shocking new recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
(USPSTF) have been issued despite a complete lack of evidence that the
dangerous cancer drugs being recommended have any preventive efficacy
whatsoever.
Fortifying earlier recommendations from 2002 that
encouraged both tamoxifen and raloxifene as so-called preventive breast
cancer treatment, USPSTF now says that healthy women with either a
personal or family history of breast cancer, or who are considered "high
risk," should consider taking either of the two drugs for at least five
years, even though doing so could cause major side effects like blood
clots or stroke. USPSTF is also now pressing doctors to being actively
prescribing such drugs to their healthy female patients, and
particularly those between the ages of 40 and 70.
The task force
says it recently evaluated a host of new data on the subject of breast
cancer prevention and determined that taking either tamoxifen or
raloxifene while healthy may help block estrogen, a hormone that feeds
roughly 75 percent of the type of breast cancers that women today face.
The group estimates that for every 1,000 healthy women who take either
of the two drugs, roughly eight of them will avoid developing breast cancer in the following five years.
