In your programme about the preventive efficacy of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene you have done a great disservice to your female listeners by not outlining other non-toxic measures which can just as well reduce the risk of breast cancer. Someone briefly mentioned exercise and diet – but these – and many other factors, can be absolutely critical, as well as reducing rather than increasing the risk of other life-threatening diseases. If you wish to enter into correspondence I can provide you with links to evidence. The risks of these drugs were not adequately described and there was no reference at all to women’s experience of them. In my view – which none of your experts expressed – the use of Tamoxifen as a preventative measure is a cynical gesture by a petrochemical industry which has itself increased the risk of breast cancer by inundating our food and water with biologically active chemicals. ICI owns Zeneca – the sole distributor of Tamoxifen! I speak as a breast cancer survivor – an intelligent woman and a regular listener to Radio 4 – who could probably have avoided contracting the disease if only I had known what I now know. It enrages me that Inside Health is involved in the promotion of dangerous and expensive drugs, when it should be informing people on how to improve their health and well-being.
