NaturalNews) Beyond merely inspiring women to cut off healthy breasts just because they carry the BRCA1 gene, Angelina Jolie also seems to be inspiring men to remove some of their own reproductive organs as well. According to an IBtimes article, a British man is the first person to have had his prostate gland surgically removed because he carries the BRCA2 "breast cancer" gene that's related to the BRCA1 gene suddenly made famous by Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy.

IBtimes reports, "Surgeons were initially reluctant, since the potential side effects of the operation include infertility, incontinence and sexual dysfunction."

But what the hell, right? If cutting off healthy organs is trendy enough for Angelina Jolie, it's gotta be trendy enough for everybody else... including men!

Medical self-mutilation... a new fashion statement for the chronically stupid

This new meme of medical self-mutilation is spreading fast, and surgeons are jumping on the bandwagon, realizing there's a windfall of profits to be made from performing surgical procedures on people who don't need surgery.

After all, the only reason surgery isn't a much larger industry is because most surgeons limit their practice only to people who have a medical need for surgery. But why set an artificial limit? It's so much more profitable to convince people to remove healthy organs... and what better way to make it trendy than to get Hollywood celebrities to talk it up?

Surgeons, too, are hyping the fear factor. Roger Kirby, the lead surgeon on this prostate cancer removal, reportedly told the Sunday Times, "...knowing you are a carrier [of the BRCA2 gene] is like having the sword of Damocles hanging over you. You are living in a state of constant fear. I am sure more male BRCA carriers will now follow suit [with surgical removal]."

Especially if more celebrities come out and promote these medical self-mutilation procedures as trendy and cool, of course.

Hey, I want to see Brad Pitt's prostate gland stuffed into a glass tube and hanging around Angelina Jolie's neck like she used to reportedly do with Billy Bob Thorton's blood. That wouldn't be weird, would it?

I think we should start a "Skin Removal Foundation" to have all the skin surgically removed from people who might someday have skin cancer... which includes everyone.

Or better yet, the "Young Women Breast Cancer Prevention Society" which chops off their breasts at age nine, before puberty really kicks in. Just tell your little girls how much you love them before the anesthesia kicks in. That's what good mommies do, isn't it?

And for the young boys, why stop at slicing off their foreskin at birth? Penis mutilation is just a warm-up for today's insane medical monsters. Why not remove their colons at birth so that they never run the risk of dying from colon cancer? Why not cut off their testicles and make sure they never face the future possible risk of testicular cancer, too?

I know, it's insane. Disgusting. Outrageous. And yet it's happening right now thanks to women like Angelina Jolie who are publicizing and pushing this idea that women should have healthy breasts cut out of their bodies even though there is no rational medical justification for doing so.

You are your own boogeyman: Cut off anything that scares you

So now we've come to the end game of slash-and-burn medicine deployed across a sick, demented society: Having healthy organs isn't good enough anymore. Now we have to cut out organs just because we have the fear of possible future disease -- a fear that is utterly irrational and hyped up by the cancer industry itself. This fear is the adult medical version of the "Boogeyman" that children think is hiding under their beds at night.

Watch out, women, the breast cancer boogeyman is coming to get you! Better cut off the organs before they become diseased, and that way you can live in total peace with a "zen attitude" about life.

Never mind any discussion of how to live a healthy, cancer-free life while reducing your risk of cancer to nearly zero. It's easy to accomplish with foods, superfoods, nutritional supplements, exercise and other simple lifestyle choices. But you don't hear this offered anywhere in the media. Instead, it's all about, "Cut it off!"

The new answer to disease: Cut out the organ that might be involved and call it a cure

Got a problem eating too much ice cream? Cut out your stomach! (Bariatric surgery)

Gallbladder suddenly hurting from your crappy junk food diet? Slice it out with a precision medical instrument! (A common medical procedure across the USA today)

Your brain working too fast? Sever your corpus callosum and disconnect! (Common psychiatric treatment)

Sweating too much? Have your sweat glands removed! (This is a very popular surgery in Taiwan and China.)

Never mind the risk of surgery and anesthesia, the nerve damage, the numb scar tissue, the ridiculous medical bills and the crippling side effects of going under the knife. None of these things are your concern. You need to be a Hollywood hipster like Jolie, and that can only be accomplished, dear reader, through scar tissue!

My brother had low level cancer on his prostate, and he elected removal rather than four or five other treatments which would have allowed him to keep his prostate. I discussed this with him. I told them that they took my upper left lung lobe, and the cancer still spread. That complete removal does not guarantee the cancer will not pop up again. He was very well informed, and made the choice rather than deal with these issues when he is older and not in as good of health.

What is my risk for cancer if I have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation?
If you have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, you have an increased risk of getting certain types of cancer.
However, not everyone who has a gene mutation will develop cancer.
BRCA1 gene mutations:
· A woman with a BRCA1 gene mutation has a 50-85% chance of developing breast cancer. In
comparison, women in the general population have a 10-12% risk for breast cancer.
· A woman with a BRCA1 gene mutation and a history of breast cancer has a 40-60% chance of
developing a second primary breast cancer.
· A woman with a BRCA1 gene mutation has a 20-54% chance of developing ovarian cancer. In
comparison, women in the general population have a 1-2% risk for ovarian cancer.
· Men who have a BRCA1 gene mutation may have a slightly increased risk for breast and
prostate cancer, although these risks are not well defined.
BRCA2 gene mutations:
· A woman with a BRCA2 gene mutation has a 50-85% chance of developing breast cancer. In
comparison, women in the general population have a 10-12% risk for breast cancer.
· A woman with a BRCA2 gene mutation and a history of breast cancer has a 40-60% chance of
developing a second primary breast cancer. A woman with a BRCA2 gene mutation has a 10-
27% chance of developing ovarian cancer. In comparison, women in the general population
have a 1-2% risk for ovarian cancer.
· A man with a BRCA2 gene mutation has about a 6-10% risk of developing breast cancer. In
comparison, men in the general population have a less than 1% chance of developing breast
cancer.
· A man with a BRCA2 gene mutation also has a slightly increased chance of developing prostate
cancer.
· There may also be a slightly increased chance of developing other cancers, such as pancreatic

We have reached the moment of mass hysteria. The puppet masters must be so proud. they can manipulate the population by way of suggestion so easy now.

another article from natural news that has some good data in it.
http://www.naturalnews.com/040365_Angelina_Jolie_gene_patents_Supreme_Court_decision.html

BTW SEAWEEDBRAIN..... men have their prostates removed when they have ANY grade of cancer AT all. Your comparison is a non comparison.

this is hysteria at its best, ridiculousness.

hallmark good article, it certainly puts the level of ridiculousness into perspective. Yep, lets just cut it all off. have you men scheduled your prostate removal surgery yet? lol CUT IT OFF!

Not trying pick a fight I found this interesting Just for discussion,

from a article in Naturalnews...............

I want to make one thing perfectly clear. I will always respect the decision of any woman to care for her body - any way she sees fit. But, when a woman is asked to make life and death decisions with fraudulent, unscientific information, that's when I take exception. In fact, I think, those healthcare professional giving out flawed data, to their patients, should go to jail.

Don't remove your breasts until you read this "NCI disclaimer"...

Many of us have heard the conventional talking points that refer to an "87% higher risk for breast cancer" - if one tests positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation. But, I'm here to tell you, that this is a complete fabrication of the medical truth.

I'll be honest - when I read this statement by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) - I nearly fell off my chair. Even if you test positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation - your risk of getting breast cancer may still be caused by other factors.

In other words, the BRCA1 gene may not really be the cause of breast cancer.

Read for yourself what the National Cancer Institute says about BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations...

"It is important to note, however, that most research related to BRCA1 and BRCA2 has been done on large families with many individuals affected by cancer. Estimates of breast and ovarian cancer risk associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations have been calculated from studies of these families. Because family members share a proportion of their genes and, often, their environment, it is possible that the large number of cancer cases seen in these families may be due in part to other genetic or environmental factors. Therefore, risk estimates that are based on families with many affected members may not accurately reflect the levels of risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers in the general population. In addition, no data are available from long-term studies of the general population comparing cancer risk in women who have harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations with women who do not have such mutations. Therefore, the percentages given above are estimates that may change as more data become available."

I hope you understand the magnitude of what you've just read. The NCI has openly admitted that your risk for breast cancer stems from a wide variety of "genetic or environmental factors".

Simply put, the NCI really doesn't know (scientifically) how much of any risk factor causes cancer - including the presence of a BRCA1 mutation.

If you have any doubt about what you just read ... check it out yourself - at the National Cancer Institute website link: www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/BRCA

Like I said on Teo's thread, I am all for informed patients making an educated, informed decision. Not just a decision based on what's popular or what a movie star chose to do. But a decision that is right for them. I think Teo's wording on his thread made some people angry but I understand what he was saying.

Negative! My uncle and my next door neighbor both developed prostate cancer and neither had the prostate removed. Both are now in remission and have their prostates intact.

Six types of standard treatment are used:
Watchful waiting or active surveillance
Surgery
Radiation therapy
Hormone therapy
Chemotherapy
Biologic therapy

New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Cryosurgery
High-intensity focused ultrasound
Proton beam radiation therapy

So as you can see, complete removal of the prostate is not the only coarse of action that can be taken.
