For HARDCOCK: I donāt think I'm spreading ādisinformationā as you say, but simply writing about a book that struck me, nothing more, nothing less. By the way, have you recently heard that Veronesi has strongly supported the installation of "termovalorizzatori" (polluting incinerators because they produce fine particles), claiming their absolute safety from an environmental standpoint? And yes, there are quite a few documents; soon they should be publishing another review of the same author for "Il tradimento della medicina," where several issues regarding studies, statistics, etc., are laid out, along with a detailed explanation of everything that Dr. Mondini's association had to endure from the state and lobby as well. Donāt you think itās a bit unreasonable to publish "other sites" that present completely different statistics? Tomorrow I could dismantle the belief that Santa Claus doesn't exist by posting a link to a site that proves he does. Every piece of information has behind it one or more interests and consequently, it's obvious to find people who support or oppose a certain topic depending on their personal gains. Try looking online for data on the famous aspartame, for instance: you will find dozens of studies proving its dangers (it's carcinogenic), yet no "mainstream" site asserts the same, not to mention TV or newspapers. However, coincidentally, our "healthy" modern foods are full of it, from chewing gum to soft drinks, and guess what, cancer cases have increased exponentially (along with pollution, environmental destruction, etc...). According to this reasoning, aspartame is absolutely healthy just because the sources that claim otherwise are "unofficial." Iām not saying that sites like disinformazione.it should be taken 100% seriously, but merely suggesting to look at things from multiple perspectives and not to judge based on "beliefs": being informed means this. If tomorrow I read a book that 100% disconfirms the "disinformation" provided by Mr. Mondini, I'll be happy to have learned something. For now, if you want to know what I think, if I were to fall seriously ill, I wouldnāt even consider getting chemotherapy: besides reading this and many other articles (debernardi.splinder.it), all those I know in my tiny town (not even 10,000 inhabitants, located near a lake in the green, not in a city full of "termovalorizzatori") who became ill and subsequently treated this way have died after horrific suffering: my grandfather (August 2002, colon cancer, died after surgery), a dear uncle of mine (pancreatic cancer), the mother of a long-time friend (after the first series of treatments, the apparently cured cancer returned in a more massive form, invading her whole body and obviously killing her), the father and mother of two of my classmates, several schoolmates, even a handful of acquaintances living in my own neighborhood, and the numbers continue to rise exponentially, both for new patients and for those, unfortunately, succumbing to these therapies. As I write, two of my best friends have to deal with both their mothers and fathers in the same situations listed above, and I learned that even one of my former teachers fell gravely ill. A schoolmate of mine died of cancer at 16 years old when I was still in high school, obviously not before undergoing the entire series of "treatments" that left him utterly depleted. The father of a dear long-time friend, while he was still alive, underwent the usual series of "miraculous" treatments that led to tripled metastases in just a year: dying (not before suffering horrific pains, obviously) he left behind four children without a father and a single mother. All of this, I repeat, in a poor little suburban village where the most you can find in terms of pollution is a piece of litter on the ground, and consequently, the incidence of such diseases should be very low. So, if you allow me, I believe I have enough elements to nurture at least some small doubt.
