Personally I believe is was a wise and egoless decision. She and Brad have 6 children to raise and to ensure their future with a Mom, she chose the right move. It is horrific to watch a loved one die from cancer.

Besides that , who wouldn`t prefer breasts that will never head south

Wanted to hear how the ladies feel about having a mastectomy to prevent breast cancer.

Just read the article now, and of course she's brave for it, but it leaves me heartbroken, that anyone should go through this (even men get breast cancer and the 'solution' is the same)
because am sure there is already a cure of cancer and am sure it is quick, and effective, but for some reason we're not allowed to have it.
There should be something better out there than to 'mutilate'(don't know what the proper words for this is, if i used the wrong one) people's bodies in order to cure them.
I do know that a neutral body is healthy, and watermelons and lemons, which despite the acidic taste they become alkaline once in our digestive system, are two super foods for this.
There was also something i read about a while ago, called regional chemotherapy, where only the area of the body with cancer is treated, and it had been preformed successfully in Europe but still not allowed by the FDA in the US, as there is a 10 year waiting period for some things apparently...

so am very respectful of this beautiful woman's courage, which put her family before herself...but am also not so happy, as i wish there was a way she could have gotten rid of the cancer causing cells, without having to go through a mastectomy.

Anti-Cancer diets and Alkaline food do make the risk close to zero. Since she is a celebrity, millions of women will follow the example, and the "Meme" of Self-Mutilation has now been seeded in Humanity to a whole new level. Next, some paranoid women will be demanding hysterectomy in their 20s because another gene has been discovered as a link.

Matter of time before a male celebrity removes his prostate and the media again hails it as a brave decision....

Doctors of course will mint more and more money...

IMHO, I did not like her decision one bit even though she has the best of intentions for her children.

I also think this country is well past due for a cure for cancer, for one.

Remember Magic Johnson with AIDS. He went to Europe to cure it. He is fine.

The people who will take natural cures public will be shut down and even killed, if necessary.

Dr Richard Schultz has to carry a gun with him. He is the best one to teach people how to cure themselves imo

he cannot treat patients anymore because he was thrown in jail 3 time for bogus reasons. All he can do is give information. He is a saint and hero imo

poor thing got excited went public with his 'discovery' and the amount ridicule and jail time he had to put up with, was horrendous. The pharmaceutical companies over there, did all they can to use the media to portray him as a careless, selfish madman, to the point people were scared of what others will think of them if they ever went to any of his talks.

so 'ugh' is all i think these days when i hear of another person who found out they have cancer and is poisoning the body with chemotherapy as a cure....or like AJ, doing something so crazy to try and combat any chance of getting it.

The US medical practice, being fuled by pharmaceutical companies, drags its feet, or even keeps advances on devestating dis-eases underwraps, cause The US medical practitioners would rather give a pill and send you on your way...

Do NOT believe everything docs tell you!!

Medicine is an educated shot in the dark, practice, they put together a list of symptoms and eliminate probable causes.

Had a patient 2 weeks ago, I knew she had developed Guillan Barrre, but suggested it to one doc, he said it was not typical, but it was the ONLY thing that explained her symptoms.

Yet they put her through a bunch of unnecessary tests to come to the conclusion: Guillan Barre.

Now, given her symptoms the docs acted accordingly as they probably had to, and put her through the tests to cover their butts, all the while it was obvious what she was developing.

My mom makes me really mad.

Some doc has her believing she is in kidney failure...she is 76.

I have reviewed her labs and her symptoms....she is not in kidney failure, but needs to be cautious. Even her oncologist, who she respects very much told her the same.

So, she suffers from terrible arthritis of the hip, not wanting to take an NSAID due to her "kidney failure...."

Geez..I told mom...your body will outlive your kidneys in spades!

I still swear its all about the almighty dollar.

Medicare/medicade sets the standards for fees applied in the US, but as a doc, you have to go through the steps to as to rattel the government's cages, nor the hospitals cause they will not get reimbursed if things are not followed appropriately.

I preach all the time...EDUCATION!!! google.com!!!

One of his friends cured a woman of cancer with a natural product from Native Americans. He was shut down.

You have to find your own way and have the courage to go against the doctors. You really need a friend to help you for support because it is too scary to do on your own, especially if it is a serious disease imo

if people start going by her example, then we will need to sever all our body parts and organs and then put them back together again to avoid the risk of cancer as we're all at risk in this day and age with the stuff we eat....
and yep, there isn't a thing disease on this planet that doesn't have a cure, but where to find it is the question!

Well, big Pharma and the medical establishment block information, so people do what they are told from conventional sources.
