Dear Everyone,
We hope to interest you and gain your support on a mission to promote better breast health and get a Breast Chek Kit into the hands of everyone in the world.
May, 2008 is the first “Global Breast Cancer Early Detection Month”!
Breast cancer kills almost 400,000 women worldwide each year. If you haven’t already been personally touched by this statistic you soon will be with 1 in 8 women in the US diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime.
When detected at or before stage 1 the survival rate is virtually 100%. Considering approximately 70% of breast cancers are self or spousal-discovered, the value and need for breast self exam using the best possible tools and techniques is both obvious and established. While millions of dollars go to research each year, virtually nothing goes towards the one area where we know an important difference can be made now; EARLY DETECTION.
The Breast Chek Kit by Plexus Pink is a patented FDA approved Class II medical device. It’s designed to enhance the effectiveness of BSE (Breast Self Examination). It works like a magnifying glass for your fingertips that provides a great advantage in identifying tissue abnormalities.
Early detection and treatment are crucial to surviving breast cancer. Yearly check-ups and Mammograms cannot be the only tools a woman has to discover a breast imperfection.
Personal physical breast exams have been taught to us since our first “ladies visit” to the doctor and now there is an additional tool to help identify and magnify a tissue imperfection smaller than a grain of rice.
The American Cancer Society says; (National Cancer Institute concurs)
How can breast cancer be detected early?
Early-stage breast cancer typically produces no symptoms when the tumor is small and most treatable. It is therefore very important for women to follow recommended guidelines for finding breast cancer at an early stage before symptoms develop. When breast cancer has grown to a size when it can be felt, the most important physical sign of breast cancer is a painless mass.
How many cases and deaths are estimated to occur in 2007?
• In 2007, an estimated 178,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women, as well as an estimated 62,030 additional cases of in situ (confined within the ducts) breast cancer. The expected number of new breast cancers in 2007 is markedly lower than the estimate for 2005 in the previous Breast Cancer Facts & Figures report due to the use of a new, more accurate estimation method and a small decline in the breast cancer incidence rate.
• In 2007, approximately 40,460 women are expected to die from breast cancer. Only lung cancer accounts for more cancer deaths in women.
• In 2007, about 2,030 cases of breast cancer are expected to occur among men, accounting for about 1% of all breast cancers. Approximately 450 men will die from breast cancer.
(American Cancer Society; Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2007-2008)
CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Statistics show;
Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in Hispanic women. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women.
In 2004 (the most recent year numbers are available),
• 186,772 women and 1,815 men were diagnosed with breast cancer
• 40,954 women and 362 men died from breast cancer
I hope to share more information with you about the Breast Chek Kit and the important message of early detection through breast self examination.
Please also visit my website it will provide additional information about this urgent life saving mission and the many ways to support it. Please watch the short 4 minute breast chek video by selecting it from the menu.
Good health and warm wishes,
Darryl Ault

I am sure scientists have already located the gene receptors responsible for breast cancer. If not, I am sure they are working hard to locate them.

To White Americans..we are waking up to the lies that have been purported on the media and forums like these.

Evidence of Obama's 'HATE' for Whites.

A Quotation taken from Obama's book:
'Dreams Of My Father'

"I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.

These are the very words of Barack Hussein Obama..

Get informed..read this..
