"Thermographic Breast Screening – A Safer, More Effective Alternative Most physicians continue to recommend mammograms for fear of being sued by a woman who develops breast cancer after he did not advise her to get one. But I encourage you to think for yourself and consider safer, more effective alternatives to mammograms.

The option for breast screening that I most highly recommend is called thermographic breast screening. Thermographic screening is brilliantly simple. It measures the radiation of infrared heat from your body and translates this information into anatomical images. Your normal blood circulation is under the control of your autonomic nervous system, which governs your body functions.

Thermography uses no mechanical pressure or ionizing radiation, and can detect signs of breast cancer as much as 10 years earlier than either mammography or a physical exam! Whereas mammography cannot detect a tumor until after it has been growing for years and reaches a certain size, thermography is able to detect the possibility of breast cancer much earlier. It can even detect the potential for cancer before any tumors have formed because it can image the early stages of angiogenesis -- the formation of a direct supply of blood to cancer cells, which is a necessary step before they can grow into tumors of size. More men’s lives could also be spared from the disease as mammography is not frequently used on men, which leads to most men with breast cancer being diagnosed at a very late stage. Other Risk Factors Commonly Ignored and How You Can Avoid Them Breast density and high levels of circulating sex hormones are two commonly known risk factors for breast cancer in post menopausal women. A 2007 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute confirmed that although the two factors commonly occur together, they are also independent risk factors. They found that (after controlling for other factors) when breast density was not considered, women with high amounts of circulating sex hormones had twice the risk of developing breast cancer as those with low amounts. And, women in the highest one-quarter in density had four times the risk of those in the lowest quarter, without considering levels of sex hormones. Women with both the highest hormones and densest breasts had up to six times the risk. The authors of the study highlighted the importance of screening and, perhaps most importantly, maintaining a healthy, lower weight to help keep hormone levels lower. In fact, excess body weight and obesity plays a significant role in a number of cancer deaths, admits the American Cancer Society. But there are other factors that will increase your risk of breast cancer that few ever bother to mention. For example, a 2001 study published in the British Journal of Cancer discovered that women with breast cancer are twice as likely to have a fault in the gene required to make use of vitamin D. The research suggested that women with genetic variations (polymorphisms) of the vitamin D receptor gene may be less able to benefit from this protective effect."   358 2687 BOX 2 LEAVE A MESSAGE ALREADY!
