Susan G Komen for the Cure, part of the Komen Foundation, announced recently that it would be cutting several cities from its three-day fundraising road races that have garnered the organization millions of dollars over the years for misdirected cancer research and education. The organization says their decision to cut back is due to lower-than-sustainable participation numbers—evidence the people of the U.S. are getting it right when it comes to this organization that is really more about money than saving lives.
The agency organizes three-day fundraising races in cities throughout the country, all under the guise of breast cancer awareness. And while many breast cancer survivors find support and solace in these events—the organization uses these sort of “feel good” walks to fund nonsensical research and education.
For instance, in 2009, Susan G. Komen for the Cure spent $141 million on breast cancer education, but none of this education covered legitimate nutrition issues that have a significant impact on breast cancer risk, development, and treatment.
The organization—and all of their money and power—dedicates nothing to teaching women about the dangers of refined fructose, for instance, which feeds cancer growth like water to Gremlins. Nor do they invest any money into research on the beneficial effects of Vitamin D on cancer. Rather, they spend millions on advocating radiation-emitting mammograms, whose reliability and place in cancer detection are questionable at best.
While the mainstream media would have you think Susan G. Komen’s lack of participation can all be credited to the backlash last year when the agency decided to sever ties with Planned Parenthood, it must go much deeper than that. The agency itself admits to a drop in participation of 37% over the past four years. And although the drop was slightly more significant last year, when they sought to cut funding for the women’s clinic that provides abortions (among many other things), their participation levels had been dropping before.
The fact is, Americans are waking up to the organization’s misdirected millions. A t-shirt and the camaraderie of walking with other survivors may be nice, but it’s nothing when compared with investing your money and time on true prevention strategies.
“There are some folks who will never be back, and we know that,” said Komen spokeswoman Andrea Rader about their declining participation numbers. “And we hope that they will support breast cancer charities because the work’s important.”
She’s right—breast cancer research is important. But even more important than funneling millions into mammograms and the makers of traditional cancer treatments is educating women on how to prevent cancer naturally. Here’s hoping people not only support breast cancer research, but the right breast cancer research.
Cancer Research: Billions in Research Dollars and Donations – NEVER the Cure!
There are proven products that cure cancer already, why this continous push for revenue? For example Bristol Myers Squibb announced in the late 80's that iridium and ruthenium are anticancerous, what have they done with that? Nothing! 21st Century Technology actually produces Trace Minerals out of Iridium and Ruthenium, a natural process without the use of chemicals.
I think women wised up on the effectiveness of mammograms and the fact that Komen pushes mammograms as a moneymaker, not for the benefit of women.
There have been documented cancer cures for many years, there is no money to be made in cures, there is a lot of money to be made in sickness, do the numbers on how many are employed when a person is diagnosed with cancer, follow the money trail from the original dagnosis to lets say the demise of the client, horrendous. Money always called for research work, never for cures, , one could do reserch unil the cows come in as they say, be the perpetual researcher
Over the years we hear of so many cancer break throughs but still they are dieing, these money making machine on people suffering, why are the majority of people so gullibly and easy to brain wash.
Why most people eat processed foods has got me but I feel they must just be lazy to prepare good real food, glad I’m not lazy.
A wholesome diet of live food and no processed rubbish will stop cancers in its tracks, most times they won’t appear, I have seen the effects of the right foods and the results of people I know who were diagnosed with a form of cancer which leaves their doctors amazed even when they know the truths on good eating of natures medicines, them great medicines they claim to do the wonders for so many people do not get into me, no way.
Freshly grown juiced wheatgrass, chia seeds with plenty of fruit and raw vegies and the other goodies with no dairy products keeps me in tuned even through I cant sleep much, must be all the energy and urinating or should I say detoxing :), I love it and to think I have not been sick in over 20 years.

Wake up people, it’s not about living for 100+ years but how you like to feel on the day your living and how young you look and feel is the best benefit also.
Ask yourself how animals like cows, elephants, etc live a healthy life on a plant food diet or when you see a cat or dog eating what they call cat grass from the garden areas, makes you think don’t it, what do animals know what many humans don’t know 🙂
Well I feel it must be animals haven’t listened to what humans have heard or believed, you got to love them big healthy companies putting all those nice healthy chemicals into the foods that never needed them to start with.
Case of profit before people! And amazing they get away with it.
Now what planet am I from, it’s not here and if I find where I crashed my space ship, I’m fixing it and getting the hell out of here 🙂
This is kind of off the subject, but applies indirectly….I work in the “Environmental” clean up industry and sometimes the testing costs more than the clean up. Follow who is really making the all money. To me, the poor soul doing the cleaning up should be the highest paid. People all me and ask me to test their homes for mold, and I just ask if they see mold? Does it really matter what kind or species you have growing in your home? Granted some molds are more dangerous than others, but if you can see mold growing you have a moisture intrusion….leaking pipe, roof, poor construction, etc. address the poor construction issue, and the mold won’t grow. WE HAVE LOST COMMON SCENSE. Fighting cancer with cancer causing radiation techniques is pretty freakin’ stupid. Cut your body parts off is pretty rediculous too.
Don't look behind the curtain because you can't handle the truth.
How sad and disgusting. Another money grabbing organization out for themselves and not for the cure! People are beginning to wake up to what is happening. Time to put a stop to the lies and the greed. Shame on all these organizations for taking advantage of people in need or those who care enough to just want to help! TAKE A STAND AMERICA!
My motto is: “Next time, No Planet Earth, no matter what the brochures say!”
Look into the Zeitgeist Movement that is trying to convince people that as long as we have profit motive and money, we won’t treat planetary resources, animals or people right It will always be about someone getting rich and everyone else getting poorer or sicker. What kind of civilization lets people be homeless when millions of homes are empty, or lets people go hungry if they don’t have green pieces of paper? It’s insane and it’s called capitalism.
Rise Up! You’re not a consumer, based on the wildfire model. You’re a citizen of the Planet Earth.
