Nutrition and Wellness Information, Resources and Education

Archive for the ‘breast cancer prevention’ Category

This article explans how Thermography is the best approach to preventing Breast Cancer, versus the Mammography approach of diagnostics of a malignancy.

This article really covers all cancers in general. But focuses on one woman’s experience with repeated unnecessary Mammograms. ”If I had known then what I know now, I would have asked her why doctors place so little effort or educational emphasis on real food and healthy diets, and about Thermography. By the year 2007, I was learning even more about diet and lifestyle as it related to cancer and health. I also learned about an exciting procedure -FDA approved and has been used in Europe for decades – thermography. It is less expensive than mammograms, and can detect cancer up to 10 years before a mammogram.”

This artice explains the advantages of a Thermography rather than a Mammogram for “Preventing” breast cancer.

I’ve made a number of posts on Mammograms and Breast Cancer and will continue to provide important updates from reliable sources to share. This is from Dr. Pam Popper’s Newsletter. I’ve got her as a resource here at the right column, referred to as “The Wellness Forum“. Dr. Pam Popper is a great resource for very credible nutrition and health information in that she has a very scientific approach and is also quite blunt going by the research results of any topic she comments on. She is big on pointing out erronious information being distrubited to the public she is an awesome resource to check with when you are contemplting making changes in your lifestyle or going for a medical procedure or test.

She has her two latest Newsletters on this topic and clarifies the controvice that has been in the news on this.

Go Here for this info:
Wellness Forum Newsstand and see the last two issues (47) in two parts.

Here are a couple excerpts that I found particularly interesting:

“If breast and prostate cancer screening really worked, the researchers correctly noted, they should have resulted in incurable cancers being found early and treated when they could be cured. A large increase in the detection of early-stage cancers should have been accompanied by a decline in late-stage cancers. But this did not happen.”

“Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society told the New York Times in response to the earlier JAMA study that the organization would post a message on its website next year saying that screening for breast, prostate and certain other cancers results in the over-treatment of non-aggressive cancers while often missing more aggressive deadly cancers.”

“We don’t want people to panic,” he said, “But I’m admitting that American medicine has over-promised when it comes to screening. The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.”

One thing that is not stated in this issue is that there is an alternative for screening in a test called Thermography.I’ve referred to it in previous postings I’ve done, but here is a podcast with Dr. Popper and a Clinical Thermographer, Theresa Spires, owner of Functional Imaging, about the technology and how it works, along with applications other than breast imaging, discussing it’s benefits and differences from Mammography. When going to this link scroll down to the “Breast Thermography” podcast and click t listen to that.Very informative.

If  you are in the South Florida area, you can call or visit Florida Natural Healthcare Center, one of their services is Thermography http://floridanaturalhealthcare.com/thermography.html 
Call them and let them know I referred you.

If  you are not in the South Florida area, you can go to a resource to locate a Thermography office near you by clicking here Thermography Services.

In my previous blog, I referred to the use of Medical Thermography in comparison to Mammograms. The video I linked to from that blog pointed out the use of  Thermography for other types of scans as well. Phlebitis, Thyroid Disfunctions, Arthritus and other types of inflamations can be done using thermography. Here is a link to another video.

Before I link back to that. came across this video that drives home additional information about it’s use in breast screening.

Also found this:

This video though showing emphasis on Breast Screening points out it’w benefit compared to an MRI scan.

This I grabbed from Dr. Mercola’s Blog. I was informed in the last few years that the radiation from mammogram machines was much less than I read about 20 years ago, as I mentioned in one of my previous blog posts. However Dr. Mercola seems to be saying otherwise here. Something women should be aware of. With healthcare reform being in the spotlight these days, it’s unfortunate that the changes that really need to be made aren’t being given proper attention.

Here is a link to his video about it.
