Be Aware of these Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

Symptom List Helps ID Ovarian Cancer

Researchers Say Awareness of 6 Symptoms Could Help Identify Women at Risk By Salynn Boyles

Dec. 11, 2006 -- Ovarian cancer is often considered a "silent killer" with no readily identifiable symptoms, but new research challenges this view in the hopes of finding more of the deadly malignancies early.

Because there is no effective screening test to identify early-stage ovarian cancer, roughly three out of four patients are diagnosed with late-stage disease, when the chance for a cure is greatly diminished.

Many patients are misdiagnosed before their cancer is found, with vague symptoms such as pelvic pain and abdominal bloating attributed to other causes.

Florida Health Freedom Action

Protecting Floridians' Constitutional right to use the gentle, natural health therapies and practitioners of their choice.

Our Vision

To protect your right to choose the complementary and alternative health therapies ("CATH care") and practitioners that you decide are right for you. These therapies include herbs, vitamins, homeopathy, energy work and other gentle, natural health therapies.

To enhance consumer protection by empowering you to make informed choices of CATH care therapies and practitioners.
The Facts: American are increasingly choosing CATH care therapies for themselves and their families. Most often, these therapies are used in conjunction with conventional medical care.

The Problem: Your right to use gentle, natural health therapies by practitioners of your choice is in serious jeopardy.

The Solution: Your legislature must pass The Consumer Health Freedom Act to protect your Constitutional right to choose the gentle, natural health therapies and practitioners that you decide are best for you.

What Can You Do?

Contribute your time and money. They are vital to the success of Florida Health Freedom Action’s campaign to protect your health freedom rights. This legislation will open access to all health care options at no cost to the state. It also provides new consumer protection by requiring that unregulated health-care professionals tell clients that they are not licensed and provide information about their knowledge and the therapies they offer.

Sign up at Florida Health Freedom Action’s website to receive updates.

Spread the word.

At critical times, we will ask you to contact your legislators and demand that they vote to protect your health freedom rights.

Manifest the glory

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-- Marianne Williamson
