Does anyone actually care about "National <Thing> Appreciation/Awareness Day/Week/Month"?

Well, virtually all people are aware of what the breast cancer awareness movement and corporate medicine has been indoctrinating them with about breast cancer, mammography, the “war on cancer.”

But most people would be much smarter and better informed if they had awareness of what this movement or the war on cancer do NOT raise awareness about.

Knowing that the most prominent cancer charities (Komen, American Cancer Society, etc) are large self-serving businesses instead of “charities” or that these groups suppress critical information on cancer, such as the known causes of cancer (instead they talk about “risk factors” of cancer) or that many “breast cancer survivors” are victims of harm instead of receivers of benefit, or that they’ve been intentionally misleading the ignorant public with deceptive cancer survival statistics, or that government health bodies such as the NIH are merely a pawns for corporate medicine, etc is a good start to get to the real truth (read this well referenced scholarly article’s afterword on the war on cancer: do a search engine query for “A Mammogram Letter The British Medical Journal Censored” by a published author of the Orthomolecular Medicine News organization, or visit The Pink Ribbon Cult, Untold Breast Cancer Information & True Mammogram Risks and scroll down to the afterword that addresses the ‘war on cancer’) .

The recognition that breast cancer awareness was started by these business interests is another piece of the real awareness about the pink ribbon cult and the traditional war on cancer. Or that the orthodox cancer business has been denouncing many good inexpensive alternative therapies (instead they sold you the lie that only their highly profitable/expensive, toxic conventional cancer treatments are relevant).

So, raising “awareness” about breast cancer or raising funds for the war on cancer have hardly any other function than to drive more unsuspecting people into getting more expensive and unnecessary tests (think mammography) and then, often, cancer treatments (chemo and radiation therapy).

The reality is that the war on cancer has been and still is, by and large, a complete failure (read Dr. Guy Faguet’s 'War on cancer" or Dr. Sam Epstein’s work).

The history of the pink ribbon movement and the alleged war on cancer is fraught by corruption, propaganda, and the hoodwinking of the unsuspecting public. The entire war on cancer is a disinformation campaign. The real war is on the unsuspecting public. Does anyone really think it’s a coincidence that double Nobel laureate Linus Pauling called the ‘war on cancer’ a fraud? If you look closer you’ll come to the same conclusion. But…politics and self-serving interests of the conventional medical cartel, and their allied corporate media (the mainstream fake news media), keep the real truth far away from the public at large. Or people’s own denial of the real truth.

Over in another thread, I welcomed you to the SDMB. I hereby withdraw that welcome.

December 1, 2016 was National Pie Day. I assume it will be December 1 this year as well.

National Blueberry Cheesecake Awareness Day was May 26th this year.

The whole Oktoberfest thing is a trick designed to encourage the consumption of alcohol. Although I realize this, every damn year they catch me.:mad:
