It is not only these tests that are found to be a sham.As far as my knowledge goes, no body seems to have been cured of cancer.only the postponement of death, that too after painful repurcussions.Recurring cancer is called euphemistically ‘Remission’, meaning it has resurfaced.
Why not say in English that we do not have a cure?

EDITOR’S NOTE: Since AlterNet edited this piece, a new study was released by The Journal of the American Medical Association that also raises concerns about the efficacy of screenings to definitively detect breast cancer. The study, taken together with those cited here in Naomi Freundlich’s analysis, prompted a stunning shift in thinking at the American Cancer Society. According to the New York Times, “The American Cancer Society, which has long been a staunch defender of most cancer screening, is now saying that the benefits of detecting many cancers, especially breast and prostate, have been overstated.”

U.S. eases stance on medical marijuana
Though a welcome step, it has to be carefully exercised as the law may be misused by Drug Addicts with the help of crooked Doctors.
As a matter of academic interest, are there no alternative to marijuana in treatiing specific cases?
I am sure there are;Can somebody enlighten me on this?Story:
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. directed federal prosecutors Monday to back away from pursuing cases against medical marijuana patients, signaling a broad policy shift that drug reform advocates interpret as the first step toward legalization of the drug.The government’s top lawyer said that in 14 states with some provisions for medical marijuana use, federal prosecutors should focus only on cases involving higher-level drug traffickers, money launderers or people who use the state laws as a cover.

Doctor, Qualifications and Fame alone will not do.
I admitted my daughter for delivery in a Premier, first corporate Hospital in India, now at Bangalore(Branch Office?)
The ChieF Doctor for Gyn,is looked upon with awe by the other Doctors and support staff of the Hospital,not to speak of the patients.
This gentleman,who is around 50, exudes arrogance to the point of irritating patitents;never allows patients to express their complaints/symptoms;in fact he does not allow patients to sit even;he dismisses them in a few minutes, with routine instructions;if you interrupt for clarification, God save you;in every breath, he shall say’ let Natutre take care’, but prescribe ‘n’ scans;if you ask him whether it is safe to avoid lying on the back in advanced stages of pregnancy(as elders say it may be harmful for the mother, the answer is’shut up,you better listen to these old women’I wonder how his mother deliverd him,definitely not in a speciality Hotel, sorry, Hospital.Derisive to the core of Indian thoughts on Delivery, some of which are accepted by medical science, he dismisses other supporting Doctors/staff’s view, as in when an elderly, experienced Scan Department Head suggested not to scan the baby after birth often, he ridicules him.
He demanded the scan to be done immediately, for he wanted close the file!(We did not do the scan.)Support staff are afraid to air their views on any subject, including the weather, if you are his patient.
What A Doctor!
As comic relief, one should see the Plaque in the Hospital, which after listing major advancements in Gyn.in the History of Medicine, states,after Caesarian Section, the achievement in the world is”…..Hospital offers world class Prenatal and post natal care in India”
Can you beat it for sheer effrontery? -

While 44% of those who responded thought patient care was compromised "at least once a week".'-BBC 18 Oct 2009.

Stress?-Do Nothing.
Stress is an an inbuilt mechanism in the organism to survive.Unless stress is present, survival will be difficult.Stress stimulates organism into the mode of Face or Flee Reaction,which is essential for survival.No surprises on this affirmation .Continuous harping on Stress and repression of it leads to Psychological/Physical problems.Stress arises mainly due to , at the basic level,clash of instincts of Survival,Thirst,Hunger,Sex and gregariousness.When there is a clash among them, Stress is noticed.
Stress is managed best, when we do nothing about them, as the system knows how much it can take.
