This is another article/research I came across that I feel needs to be shared.  It is eye opening!  In my opinion, most medical doctors are just licensed agents of the pharmaceutical system. If they can push mammograms which can cause cancer, they can push medicines and even more imaging which just lines their pockets even more. What is an alternative? Take a look at the article below to understand Thermography. 

I am an advocate of thermography for women who want a screening tool but my absolute first choice would be to live a healthy lifestyle so that cancer doesn’t have a chance to multiple to begin with.  Remember cancer is just a scary word that means ‘bad cells’.   

Did you know that mammograms use ionizing radiation at a dosage which can actually contribute to the development of breast cancer? They expose your body to radiation that can be as much as 1000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray.  Do you know that 10 years of mammograms equal about 400 chest x-rays and can increase cancer risk? If you go by the standard recommendations for prevention, and get all those mammograms they recommend, you are exposed to as much radiation as someone who was exposed to the atom bomb at Hiroshima?!? Yes! You read that correctly!!

Mammography also compresses the breast tightly. Did you know that this extreme compression can also spread cancerous cells if they already exist?  Are you aware mammography is near to useless in fibrous dense breasts?

Did you know false positives on a mammogram have been detected in 70% of the detected areas of concern? Do you know about the false positives, and the needless interventions that occur on that basis? False positives often lead to invasive and avoidable biopsies. Upon further testing from these biopsies, 70-80% of detected “tumors” on mammograms revealed no presence of cancer.

Although I’m massively into health and wellness, and certainly preventative medicine, I’m NOT a fan of mammograms AT ALL!! There are other options for early detection and with no radiation exposure!!! Thermography and QT Ultrasound are other alternatives.

Thermography is incredibly accurate. Studies have shown it to be effective in finding early signs of breast cancer up to 8-10 years before other standard cancer detection tests. It has been shown to be 97% effective at detecting benign vs malignant breast abnormalities. What a difference this makes with breast cancer and possibly other cancers, heart disease and other chronic health conditions. You can actually make changes to your diet and lifestyle before the condition develops.

Thermography is a new technology that measures inflammation in the body. It is especially well equipped to detect the growth of cancer cells. This tool is FAR less invasive than mammography and is also more effective. Thermography uses thermal imaging to assess inflammation throughout the body. It is a functional tool that picks up heat and vascular patterns, and therefore can detect abnormal growth much earlier than radiographic tools like MRI and mammography. The imaging assessment captures temperature variations on the skin. The skin responds to physiological changes and a Thermography camera can capture these changes. This will create a thermal map which will show normal or abnormal thermal patterns.

Thermographic cameras work by detecting heat that naturally emits from the body and also provides a visual for inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the first sign of degenerative diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, thyroid issues, and other chronic health conditions. Early detection of this inflammation may help you to develop a health plan (lifestyle change) to prevent those health conditions from even developing in the first place.The thermal patterns can also identify congestion, poor circulation, poor detoxification abilities, and injury.

From this, they can gain an understanding of your overall health. They can also find cause for health concerns or assess injury. It is completely non-invasive and non-contact. By assessing all this, a treatment plan can be created. Yearly scans can show improvement or worsening or disease.

Thermography Can Detect Tumors. The primary way that thermal imaging works is by detecting temperature variations related to blood flow and demonstrating abnormal patterns associated with the progression of tumors. When the body is viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm areas stand out against cooler areas, and changes in patterns can be tracked over time. Because cancer cells are growing and multiplying very fast, blood flow and metabolism are higher in the areas near a growing tumor, which means skin temperature near these locations increases.

Thermography is very safe, non-invasive with absolutely no radiation and no-touch. There’s no poking or prodding when you get a thermogram. It’s just an infrared camera that takes photos of your body and detects cancers 8 years earlier than mammogram. That’s it. There’s absolutely no pain involved.

Unfortunately, annual mammograms are a prescription for breast cancer…they eventually catch up with you, but you will be told how lucky you are to “catch it early” due to the mammogram.  Then they will treat the cancer with cancer causing radiation etc.

Thermography has been recognized as a viable diagnostic tool since 1987 by the AMA council on scientific affairs, the ACA council on Diagnostic Imaging, the Congress of Neurosurgeons in 1988 and in 1990 by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and is FDA registered.
