mammogrames and dental x-rays

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Thouht you should read this email I received.

Shows again the disregard about prtecting the thyroid.A friend sent this, and in

all the dental x-rays Ive had and my children have had I had no idea regarding

the protection for the neck.To tell the truth I didnt think about it.

Please tell all your families & friends about this even if they are not on the

internet....any protection against any type of cancer is worth trying...

On Wednesday, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women,

>thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that

>the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and

>mammograms. He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for

>your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped

>around your neck. Many dentists don't bother to use it. Also, there is

>something called a " thyroid guard " for use during mammograms.
