How to Cook a Revolution

The Issue

Professor Tuohy developed a vaccine at the Cleveland Clinic last year (Nature Medicine, May 2010) that is 100% effective in preventing breast cancer in mice, capable of slowing the growth of tumors that have already formed, and effective against a line of triple-negative breast cancer cells. He is ready to begin clinical trials to see if his vaccine is as safe and effective in women as it is in mice. If so, it will eliminate 95% of all breast cancer within ten years. The problem is, no one is willing to fund his research. Susan G. Komen turned him down, Avon Breast Cancer Crusade turned him down, the National Breast Cancer Coalition has ignored it, the federal government refuses to step in with grant money. The only breast cancer foundation that supports Tuohy's vaccine is the Breast Health & Healing Foundation, founded by breast surgeon Dr. Kathleen T. Ruddy (breasthealthandhealing.org/breastcancerbydrruddy.com) - and she has already spoken to her Member of Congress, J. Pascrell, who needs grassroots support to bring this issue to Capitol Hill. You can access Congressman Pascrell very easily by downloading the FREE smart phone app, Lobby Me Pink, (iPhone, Blackberry, Android) which allows the user to send emails directly to all Members of Congress, their Chiefs of Staff and Health Policy Advisors, using zip code prompts. Type in your zip code to let your Representative and Senator know your support for Tuohy's vaccine and type in zip code 07109 (location of Breast Health & Healing) to let Congressman Pascrell know of your support so that Dr. Ruddy can leverage nationwide consensus to fund Tuohy's clinical trials immediately.
