Rant about CHANGE in Breast Mammogram GuidelinesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We were told CHANGE would come when the present administration was elected into office, and we've seen a lot of it. Today the big news is the CHANGE that the Federal government is looking to make in Mammogram guidelines, and if those changes come, you can be sure it's going to affect what is and isn't covered by your insurance company....and not for the better. I believe this is all part of what we have to look forward to with the present administration's "health care reform", it's just the beginning. According to new guidelines woman from the age of 40-50 no longer need mammograms. How many of you know woman who are in th...

In my last piece I outlined the place that the sale of fear is taking in our life. I noted the role fear plays in creating illness. I highlighted the major role of particularly guilty industries: the pharmaceutical companies, politicians, insurance companies and the news and advertising media, to name just five. These are entities that go out of their way to create a culture of fear to sell their products. Because it is not a one-way street, however, this is not the whole story. Here in FEAR II, I outline the role we play in putting our self at the mercy of fear and dread and the personal responsibility we must own to mana...

This time of year people get breast cancer envy. I agree that sounds a little startling, so let me tell you what I mean. Cancer touches so many lives and there are so many different types of cancer.

Is there an ‘essential key’ to personal development? One without which the ‘unlocking’ of your potential might be difficult if not impossible? If we define personal development as growth involving the mind and the body, then ‘yes’ – I think there is. Without this ‘key’ personal growth is slow, and sluggish. Without learning how to tap into this essential human ‘tool’, change will be sporadic or imposed from the outside. And I believe the really important part is this: without developing this function of consciousness, all deep change will be difficult. It does not matter what courses you b...
