clothing, entertainment, experimentation, or any other reason.

compassion they so rightly deserve. The primary focus is on farmed

Choosing Health
Virginia Hopkins Health Watch
An extensive library of articles by Dr.
John Lee and Virginia Hopkins about
natural hormones, bioidentical hormone
replacement therapy (BHRT), email
newsletter. Home test kits for saliva
hormone levels, bone loss, anemia,
cholesterol, body mineral levels, heavy
metals and safe water.
Breast Cancer Action
BCA is committed to the precautionary
principle of public health: First, do no
harm. We work with other organizations
to encourage the use of environmentally
safe alternatives to ways of doing
business that we know—or have reason
to believe—are harmful. BCA also sifts
through the stacks of misinformation that
now circulate about breast cancer. What
you won’t learn in the newspaper or on
television—or sometimes even from your
doctor—is right here on our web site or
in our highly acclaimed publication, the
BCA Source.
Prevention First - Public Health
before Private Profit
A coalition of health organizations that
works to shift the emphasis in disease
prevention away from drugs, medical
products and procedures that may pose
serious risk to human health. We work to
shift that emphasis toward true
prevention of illness by reclaiming our
right to safe water, air and food. None of
the founding members accept any money
from the pharmaceutical industry.
Think Before You Pink - Pink
Promotions are Everywhere. Breast
cancer has become the poster child of
corporate cause-related marketing
campaigns, as companies try to boost
their image and their profits by
connecting themselves to a good cause.
Breast Cancer Action urges you to ask
some critical questions before opening
your wallet for these marketing
campaigns:
actually supporting, and consider
whether shopping will truly make a
difference.
What the breast cancer movement needs
is political involvement and action to
create real change—and we don't mean
the kind you keep in your pocket.
