When it comes to health issues, women are still treated as second class citizens
Proof:
Much more money is spent on AIDS programs than on breast cancer even though many more women die from breast cancer than AIDS patients worldwide. (It appears that AIDS is a much more politically rewarding issue than breast cancer.) Secondly, if a woman complains of certain health problems which do not show up
in tests, then she is told that its “all in her head”
Women are subjected to dangerous tests as matter of routine when far safer tests are available (eg: Yearly mammograms which have been proven to have dangerous side-effects while being highly unreliable due the high number of “false positives”. Which means that women are unnecessarily terrorized into submitting to unnecessary disfigurement with lumpectomies and radical mastectomies along with the psychological problems that go with these harsh procedures. Uforia’s Uncommon Sense Wellness for Women is a page dedicated to address very important women’s issues:
a. Create awareness based on unbiased research to make women aware that there are proven alternatives that provide better and safer choices for women’s health concerns that matter most. Show women the latest breakthrough ideas. Eg: How to prevent breast cancer and what to do if you have been diagnosed with it. What to do if you have fibroids. How to handle pre-menstrual syndrome and menopausal symptoms naturally without the use of harsh drugs. Address women’s fitness needs which are completely different from men’s…but are not dealt with in that manner. d. Create awareness and offer natural approaches to meet the hormonal needs for a woman at various stages in her life.
