The future of an American woman’s prognosis for reducing her risks of breast cancer are dire. A recent American Cancer Society report estimates that breast cancer will increase 30% by 2030. There will be 26.4 million new cases of breast cancer annually worldwide, and 17 million people will die from this terrible disease.
Criticisms of standard conventional medical practices in the nation’s “war on cancer” are valid. An overemphasis upon treatment has largely ignored the efficacy and value of prevention. Breast cancer is one of the major problems of modern oncology, and has certainly received the most attention. 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. The situation with breast cancer is deteriorating as it creeps into the lives of younger women. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in young
women ages 15-40 and doctors with all their dangerous tests and treatments are making matters worse.
The overbearing masculine paradigm of the western medical system targets women’s breasts with 3 choices, when cancer is found: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy and add that with a heavy dose of fear.
Unfortunately, conventional medicine is stubbornly holding on to old ideas of cancer detection and treatment, no matter how ineffective it’s been proven to be. Breast cancer detection methods used by the mainstream medical community include mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs), and PET scans. Education and awareness of better, less risky and more effective options for detecting breast cancer are woefully deficient, but as you will learn, they do exist.
Welcome to thermography.
Thermography is a radiation-free state- of –the-art screening procedure that uses heat detection to locate areas of temperature differences in the body. Most pathological processes demonstrate a form of increased heat, and some neurological processes show excessive cold, or hypothermia.
Breast disease can be detected by looking at areas of excessive heat that may indicate areas of angiogenesis, or increase of blood vessels supplied by a growing tumor.
Thermography has been used for breast cancer detection since 1954. It was cleared by the FDA in 1982 as an adjunctive procedure for breast cancer screening. There are over 800 published studies in peer-reviewed journals about thermography of the breast alone. Most of these articles show the success rate of breast thermography greater than 90%.
A critical difference between thermography and mammography is the ability to detect problems early enough to use preventive measures, rather than detecting disease at a stage where treatment is imminently required.
With the recent mainstream medical opinion finally talking about the adverse health consequences of mammography, this non-invasive method of detecting cancer and other pathogenic conditions is more important than ever. It is safe, environmentally green, radiation -free and safe for pregnant or nursing mothers, young dense breasts, fibrocystic breasts and implants.
Thermography can reduce the number of false positives and over treatment of breast cancer by demonstrating whether a tumor is metabolically active when combined with anatomical testing.
Now, imagine being able to look inside yourself and be able to get as much as 10 years warning that something is about to develop. What would you do with that information? How would it change your life? We live in increasing toxic times and thermography can show a woman’s hormonal receptor sites on her breast and the toxic load they carry and show up as dark heat spots. What other system offers this? Be informed and proactive in your breast health!
