Simple vinegar test 'cuts cervical cancer deaths by a third'
A simple vinegar test cut cervical cancer rates among Indian women by nearly a third and could prevent 73,000 deaths worldwide each year, the authors of a large-scale study have said.

Wealthy countries have managed to reduce such fatalities by 80 per cent thanks
to the widespread use of regular Pap smears that can detect the disease at
an early, treatable stage.
But it remains the leading cause of cancer death among women in India
and many other developing countries lacking the money, doctors, nurses
or laboratories for widespread screening.
The inexpensive vinegar test, which has a comparable accuracy to Pap smears,
offers a solution to that problem.
A primary health care worker swabs the woman's cervix with vinegar, which
causes pre-cancerous tumors to turn white. The results are known a minute
later when a bright light is used to visually inspect the cervix.
Aside from the cost savings, the instantaneous results are a major advantage
for women in rural areas who might otherwise have to travel for hours to see
a doctor.
The test could also be useful in the United States, where 40 per cent of women
do not get treatment following an abnormal Pap smear, said Electra Paskett,
a gynecological cancer expert at Ohio State University.
"We have a problem with follow-up," she said.
"The thing in their program that was really wonderful is they assured follow-up - their completion rate was phenomenal."
The randomized study of 150,000 women living in Mumbai slums found that the vinegar test was able to reduce cervical cancer deaths by 31 per cent through early detection and treatment.
The 15-year study also found that the vinegar test sidesteps a common problem of overdiagnosis. The incidence of cervical cancer was essentially the same among the women who were screened every other year and those who were simply taught how to watch for warning signs.
"We hope our results will have a profound effect in reducing the burden of cervical cancer in India and around the world," said lead study author Surendra Srinivas Shastri, a professor of preventive oncology at Mumbai's Tata Memorial Hospital.
"This is the first trial to identify a cervical cancer screening strategy that reduces mortality and is feasible to implement on a broad scale throughout India and in other developing countries."

Dirty Business of the Catholic Church: Selling indulgences to amass deceitful gains
The Catholic Church finds a business out of anything. Even so-called "salvation"! After all, it is how they have amassed profits throughout history. You see, in 2009 ex-Pope
Benedict XVI announced that his faithful can once again pay the
Catholic Church to so-called "ease their way through Purgatory" and into
the Gates of Heaven.
Lies,
lies, lies. Completely contradictory to what is written in the bible in
Ephesians 1:3-5 where it clearly states that the children of God were
already predestined BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH. Later the same
chapter states that this is a GIFT of God - that's right, a gift and not
a work of our own - so that no man can boast.
But in their disobedience to the gospel of Grace that is in place, for the criminal Catholic Church Plenary Indulgences are back. The New York Times reported that even though the Catholic church officially broke with the age-old practice -- you do something good, and the Church will help absolve you -- in 1960, the Pope has quietly reintroduced it. The Catholic Church had technically banned the practice of selling indulgences as long ago as 1567.
As the Times points out, a monetary donation wouldn't go amiss toward earning an indulgence. It writes, "charitable contributions, combined with other acts, can help you earn one." You can even buy indulgences this way for loved ones who are already dead, greasing their way to Heaven by doing something for the Catholic Church here on Earth.
Why would the Catholic Church agree to this reversal? It wouldn't be the
harsh economy, would it, or the church's fading influence? Not at all,
says a Brooklyn bishop. "Because there is sin in the world," he told the
newspaper.
There you have it. Yet another lie. The Man Christ Jesus has clearly
reminded the world what is written and that is that there is no more
sin! How can there be any sin if that is the reason why he died on the
cross - took take sin away once and forever!
