A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Breast cysts, pain and cancer are epidemic at this time in history. The cancer detection and treatment industry says the cause of 70% of all breast cancer is unknown. Dressed to Kill gives the answer to this mystery, explaining how the greatest threat to breast health is something women do to themselves every day. Dressed to Kill started as a personal crisis in the author's lives, when Soma was shocked to find a lump in her breast while pregnant. Looking for clues as to the cause of the lump led this husband-and-wife medical anthropologist team to develop a new theory on the cause of breast cancer, and to conduct an extensive survey of nearly 5,000 US women, half of whom had breast cancer, in an attempt to uncover this heretofore hidden cause of breast disease. Pioneers in the new field of Applied Medical Anthropology, Singer and Grismaijer explain their unique and fruitful approach to understanding and researching the cultural causes of disease in easy to read language accessible to the layperson and professional alike. Dressed to Kill has already changed the healthcare and fashion worlds, and has saved millions of women from the pains and sorrows of breast cancer. Controversial for its challenge to established custom and medical dogma, this breakthrough book is already a classic, destined to be known as the beginning to the end of this terrible breast cancer epidemic.
