The Medical Freedom Channel posted an article titled: New blood test may spot early Alzheimer’s, cancer, Parkinson’s The article, credited to Fox News, was posted on December 03, 2007. It was written by Steve Trinward.
The very short article states:
"Houston-based Power3 Medical Products says it has pioneered simple, low-cost blood tests for Alzheimer’s, as well as breast cancer and Parkinson’s disease. ‘With our tests, you don’t have to wait around for 6 or 10 years [to spot the problem],’ CEO Steven Rash told Popsci.com. The breast cancer test, to be released next year, is less invasive than a mammogram and is the first diagnostic to result from the field of proteomics, which looks for telltale proteins in a person’s blood, just as genetic tests screen for disease-causing genes."
The article also has a link for the news story titled: "Biotech Company: New Blood Test Spots Alzheimer's, Breast Cancer, Parkinson's Before You Get Sick" and posted on November 30, 2007.

The Popsci.com article titled: Diagnosis 2.0 A new blood test promises to spot cancer and Alzheimer’s long before you get sick was written by Kalee Thompson in November 2007.
With this long string of posts, articles, and blogs all bantering about the new test, it is only a matter of time before the regular press catches wind of the new development. It is of course, my hope that by the time the test is approved and released for use next year that it is already a common awareness for young women and men looking for a proactive and (hopefully) more conclusive screening and diagnosis method for breast cancer.
