<p>I’m actually at the point where my breast surgeon thinks insurance would pay for BRCA analysis because there is a breast cancer occurrence cluster on my mom’s side of the family (as well as some ovarian cancer). He gave me a DVD video to watch, but I haven’t yet. I doubt he’s going to let me slide by more than a year without taking pictures.</p>
<p>If I had the BRCA gene, I’d want to know it, and I’d want to have everything out that could be problematic. I’d rather live without certain parts than not live at all.</p>
<p>So why would rational people think coffee enemas or other quack science might help?
So why do normal people who just dont understand science get to enroll their non immunized children in school?</p>

<p>I have had the genetic test pushed on me.
