I have received this information through e-mail and would like to pass it on through my blog.
Unfortunately there is no name on the author apart of “LJJ”.
So have a read and act on the information in future.

this is from the previous owner of my condo. She has had Thyroid cancer and she sent it along just as a precaution. Very interesting. Ljj.
Having had Thyroid Cancer a few years back, I thought I’d share this with you.

On Wednesday, 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 our 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 !! I just did, now you send it on to your list.
Someone was nice enough to forward this to me. I hope you pass this on to your friends and family.

To better Health; Elke
