The Promise to tell the truth about mammography

“[Imagine] an asymptomatic woman walking along the high street, having a mammogram and then, 2 weeks later, being told she’s got to have a mastectomy. This is so cruel it should make you weep.” These are the word of Emeritus Professor Michael Baum of University College London, taken from a new film entitled The Promise.  If you’re European and female, especially if you’re aged over 50, you owe it to yourself and your female friends, family and acquaintances to investigate what The Promise has to say.

UK school hosts international WiFi expert

It’s winter: must be flu jab time!

As the weather gets colder, the yearly push for people to get a flu jab kicks into gear. We’ve pointed out before how ineffective the adult flu jab is according to an exhaustive review by the crème-de-la-crème of the evidence-based medicine movement, the Cochrane Collaboration. It’s a similar story in healthy children – “National policies for the vaccination of healthy young children are based on very little reliable evidence” – and the elderly – “Until such time as the role of vaccines for preventing influenza in the elderly is clarified, more comprehensive and effective strategies for the control of acute respiratory infections should be implemented.” This is one vaccine where, in our opinion, the risks clearly outweigh the benefits.
