Methyl Jasmonate as a Treatment for Cancer
submitted by: admin on 06/24/2016

The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care now recommends mammograms every three years, no self breast examinations, and no clinical breast exams.

This also leads to massive overtreatment of DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) which is only life-threatening...
