The Nuns Disease

If we will examine the prevalence of breast cancer about a hundred years ago and before, we will find that in those times breast cancer was considered a rare disease affecting nuns. For this reason this malignant and mysterious disease was called "The nuns Disease". Today the data is different; four women with breast cancer are detected every day in Israel, which is about fifteen thousand new patients in our country every year, one out of eight women.
If we examine the statistics of breast cancer in Israel we will see that women of western origin are more affected than women of eastern origin. The reason for this phenomenon is known and is due to their slightly different behaviors: the average woman of eastern origin gets married at a younger age than the average Ashkenazi woman, and has more children. The differences in occurrence among the women populations led Israeli researchers to look for a possible genetic disorder, hidden in the DNA of Ashkenazi women.  The researchers discovered a genetic Ashkenazi sensitivity for developing carcinogenic mutations in the breast. But those genes, (BRCA1, BRCA2), which were identified as stimulating the development of breast cancer, were found only in 15% of the patients in Israel. In other words, the remaining eighty five percent of breast cancer patients are women with a different genetic makeup.1
The genetic research shows that the defect we are looking for is not in the cells' DNA. This is a "Memetic" confusion disrupting our medical understanding, stemming from basic misunderstanding of the menstrual process. The belief that menstruation is healthy and is necessary for women's health, is an essential obstacle that interferes with understanding the relation between menstruation reoccurring for years, and the appearance of breast cancer.

To prove the principal assertion, that this is a thinking "bug" and not a physical problem stemming from a genetic disorder, we shall be assisted again with the bleak data published by the NCI (The National American Institute for Cancer Research). In 1997 the NCI announced that a new risk group was identified in the United States, other than the original group of nuns. In this case too it is a small and unique group of women which is much more affected by breast cancer. This is not a homogenous genetic group, but women who have chosen to live their lives in a way that is different than the way accepted in the western society. The new victims are middle class American women that are "Lesbians".
About a third of the members of the unisexual community will get breast cancer. The percentage of these cancer patients is three times higher than the regular expected rate of the entire American women population. Evangelistic preachers like to use this data to prove that there is a direct relationship between breaking the Christian-sexual moral laws and a "Justified divine punishment". If we ignore the religious-moral argument, we can single out of the lesbian distress the real cause of breast cancer.

The lesbians are protected against unplanned pregnancy; therefore they do not use the pill. They don't have many children; the average is usually one child for one couple of women. It can be observed that this way of living exposes their bodies to many menstruation cycles. From this data it can be concluded that the hard impact on the lesbian community indicated a relationship of cause and result, which exists between regular menstruation and breast cancer outbreak.
Professor Katherine Wynne-Edwards is a Canadian biologist, who offers an explanation for the current epidemic of breast cancer. According to her, a rare phenomenon such as the development of cancer does not occur during the regular cell mitosis. It takes a lot of cell divisions for a carcinogenic mutation to appear. Edwards indicates two known factors, raising the risk for the formation of cancer cells in the breast. The first factor is the age in which the woman's pubescence began. An early pubescence increases the risk for breast cancer. The second risk factor is the woman's age at the time of her first pregnancy. According to Edwards, the recurring secretion of estrogen every month, starting at adolescence, affects the undifferentiated immature cells in the breast, causing them to divide repeatedly without maturing. Breast cells mature only during the first pregnancy. Edwards suggests that the recurring division of immature breast cells, occurring between pubescence and the first pregnancy, is the cause of the appearance of the cancer mutation. 2
According to Edwards it might be possible to create "vaccine" for breast cancer. She estimates that if we will induce an early maturation of  breast cells (at the start of women's pubescence) the special conditions causing cancer to develop in the breast tissues today, will be abolished.
