The Longest Run
May 25, 1991 - The first annual Race for the Cure is held across the United States to increase awareness and to raise funds for breast cancer
October 1998 - One woman declared: “As women and as human beings, it's important for us to honor the lives of people who battle this disease, so we can look for a cure and hopefully not be walking this race a few years from now,''
October 2009 – The race still goes on ….. Meanwhile the number of new breast cancer cases increased from 82 per 100,000 women in 1973 to 195 per 100,000 in 2000, with no cure in sight. There has been no change in life span of women affected with breast cancer since 1930.
There was so much hope. Few realized that the majority of the research is funded with grants and carried out in the universities. The race money is gone and so many are still suffering. Let’s face it; we need to do something different. Running isn’t working, so what can we do to win the battle with breast cancer?
(1) The ultimate answer is the ideal solution that applies to all problems: Prevent it.
(2) Seek the treatment of the underlying cause.
We are so much smarter about breast cancer than we were in May 1991. Since then we have learned:
• Only 5-7% of breast cancers are genetically related
• 60% of women’s cancers are related to nutritional factors alone
• Risk of breast cancer is increased 5% with each radiation exposure
• Mammography detects breast cancer at its latest possible stage
• There is a strong correlation with emotional trauma and breast cancer
Prevention is an option. All who battled breast cancer wished she would have had that option. Today we know that breast cancer remains microscopic and clinically undetectable for 75% of its lifespan, approximately 8 years.
The question is: If cancer is so small for so long, how can we see it?
The answer: We can’t. But, what we can see with an infrared thermography camera are the signs of development, which are not microscopic! Pre-screening with infrared thermography can save lives with pre-early detection giving you time to prevent further development and seek treatment of the underlying cause.
The best way we can honor the lives of people who have battled this disease is to RUN to have a thermography breast pre-screening so that in the future the numbers can go down instead of up!
