Spit For Health

Dr. William Campbell Douglass II reports that there is a correlation between spit and breast cancer. He says that “according to Charles Streckfus, a professor at the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston, ‘Breast cancer triggers a change in the type and amount of proteins in the secretions from the salivary glands.’"

Dr. Douglass also said that a test for this “could make the mammogram a thing of the past.” Of course, the bottleneck in this is the role of the FDA. It could take MANY (as many as 5 to 10) years before it is approved by the FDA. “Our tired, dusty government system is still locked in the days of the horse-and-buggy... [I’m] so mad about mammograms and the FDA that I could spit”. Now, if we could get enough women to do so...

If you’d like the complete report from Dr. Douglass, email me and I’ll forward it to you. You can also subscribe to the “Daily Dose” from Dr. Douglass
