Happy Friday everyone. I received this in my inbox today from a long time email buddy and thought it worth sharing. Hope everyone has a great weekend. :)

Recently, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women,
thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms. He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped around your neck.

Many dentists don't bother to use it. Also, there is something called a "thyroid guard" for use during mammograms. By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I felt a little silly, but I asked about the guard and sure enough, the technician had one in a drawer. I asked why it wasn't routinely used. Answer: "I don't know. You have to ask for it."

Well, if I hadn't seen the show, how would I have known to ask?
We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all our
female friends and husbands tell your wives !!

Thanks for the link Peter. :)

Hi Helen,

I read your post about debt and the occupiers being the only ones talking about reducing the debt and I was a bit surprised.

Quote:
Who dreamt we would have the debt we now have and everyone is still more or less silent except for the Occupiers.

The occupiers couldn't care less about the debt and it's not even on their agenda. The only people talking about reducing the debt and the size of the government is the Tea Party.

The main cause of the occupiers is the redistribution of wealth. A totally communistic approach of getting their fair share of your dime with out working for it.

I refrained from posting about this and other political issues here since this isn't a political forum but sort of a no mans land where people of different political beliefs can come and discuss all sorts of topics excluding politics. There are enough threads dealing with politics and conspiracy theories and I was happy to see this thread bringing every body together from opposite sides of the political spectrum and having fun with each other.

I've written extensively on the occupy movement with accompanying articles and I invite you to read my latest post today about the occupy movement rejecting their religious supporters and left wing Christian groups and Churches that support the occupy movement. You can read it here.

Shalom,

Peter

Yes we should be told about these things Amanda but I was not the one getting a mammogram in this post. I just copied and pasted what was sent to me by my friend.

Hi Evelyn,

Thanks for the information and I agree, we should be told that there are protective guards. It is like we are suppose to be mind readers and know about all these safe guards. But the disturbing part about the assistants/technicians reply to your question to me was... She knew that you and other patients 'must' have the apron on and that is supplied without asking but this guard that it is to protect one's thyroid, patients have to ask for it! yet she goes along with the reason given to her and does not let common sense or morals tell her differently..!
