Thermography comes to Natural Options, no need to go to Pittsburgh anymore!

For years we have been told about getting mammograms for early detection of breast cancer. And for years we have dreaded, grimaced, joked about practicing for it by shutting our refrigerator door on our breasts, and even avoided going due to the pain and radiation exposure of mammography. All of us have dreamed of maybe not having to go through that, but we keep going because that’s what we are supposed to do. Now there is another option: Thermography or Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging. This is a 15 minute, 100% safe, non-invasive test of physiology. The machine never touches the body, never emits radiation, is F.D.A. approved and can detect even subtle changes. It has even been known to detect what could be breast cancer years before mammography can, especially inflammatory breast cancer which has been almost non-detectable until 4th stage since it shows no symptoms most would recognize. These scans should be read by board certified doctors in thermology and be done on a regular basis for comparisons just like mammograms. Its only error is that it is too right ~ too early. Numerous studies have been published in the US, France, and England of people with positive thermograms and negative mammograms who had long-term follow-ups. Those choosing the negative mammogram readings over the positive thermoscan readings found themselves being diagnosed with breast cancer in the exact location that the thermogram revealed initially 5-10 years earlier, but had never done anything about it. See, when cancer or disease starts in our bodies, it tends to increase blood flow to that area and the heat from the increased vascularity is what the thermoscan reveals. This increase in heat can also indicate inflammation as well, therefore helping in diagnosing pain patterns and other conditions. When detected so early, lifestyle changes and treatments can be instituted which may be able to minimize or even prevent disease or cancer from taking hold. Thermography is especially appropriate for younger women with denser breast tissue that makes it more difficult for mammography to be effective. What other areas is Thermal Imaging used for? To help determine the cause of pain To aid in the early detection of disease and pathology To evaluate sensory-nerve irritation or soft tissue injury To define a previously diagnosed injury or condition To identify an abnormal area for further diagnostic testing To follow progress of healing and rehabilitation.

It may be the push needed to make those lifestyle changes that so many are reluctant to start without a personal reason. Rhonda Brooks LPN, MT NATURAL OPTIONS www.naturaloptionshealth.com 231 S.
