Say "No" To Pinkwashing (In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness)

I would like to share with you, why I, like many others (Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists, breast cancer survivors and patients) have chosen to boycott the Susan G Komen Foundation and expose the breast cancer fraud. 

Breast cancer is a very real thing and effects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. Unfortunately these statistics are not exactly accurate, somewhere between 50,000 and 90,000 women are falsely diagnosed with breast cancer every single year. Due to faulty Mammogram readings, or due to the exposure to the mammogram itself. These women are told they have cancer, treated unnecessarily (Chemo and radiation) and sometimes they even lose their breasts or portions of their breast and ultimately their lives. Because these women never had breast cancer to begin with, the radiation and chemotherapy kill perfectly healthy cells, which overtime can claim lives. However you seldom hear of this. It is usually just said that the cancer itself claimed the life.

For those who are accurately diagnosed, it is such a tragedy. There's nothing 'Pretty in Pink' about it. Which is why so many are in outrage about the Susan G Komen fraud and pinkwashing. This Foundation donates less than a dime for each dollar they make to finding a cure. Many Scientists are already on this rising tragedy and are calling for a boycott of the Susan G Komen Foundation which also supports sales of products which cause breast cancer, simply because they put a pink ribbon on the product.

So, what is Pinkwashing?
"Breast Cancer Action coined the term pinkwashing as part of our Think Before You Pink® campaign. Pinkwasher: (pink’-wah-sher) noun. A company or organization that claims to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribbon product, but at the same time produces, manufactures and/or sells products that are linked to the disease."
