I Found a Better way to protect myself against Breast Cancer
August 13th, 2009 by adminI have always feared getting a mammogram. I heard they hurt and they squish your breasts, can cause bruising and mammograms are x-rays, meaning radiation goes directly into your breasts and that can cause breast cancer. Breasts are the most radiosensitive part of the body along with the thyroid. A girlfriend of mine had a mammogram done and it caused her breast implant to rupture; it was an old silicone gel breast implant. I won’t even get into what happened to her health and skin after that rupture, but she eventually had breast implant removal surgery and replaced the old implants with new saline breast implants.
My naturopathic doctor advised me that mammograms are dangerous and he studied nuclear medicine at Duke University. He said, “no radiation is safe radiation!” Despite the best intentions and research, breast cancer rates have continued to climb, how is that possible? We spend all this money on research and detection and keep getting sicker every year?
Early detection of breast cancer has not been early enough for many women who are faced with a life threatening diagnosis of breast cancer. Women who are lucky enough to survive breast cancer often suffer greatly and struggle with the aftermath of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. What if there was a way to diagnose breast cancer years before the cancer cells appeared? If we could find precancerous cells we could take steps to stop the cancerous cells from developing into full blown cancer. Studies show that breast cancer treated in the earliest stages leads to cure rates of 95% or higher (2, 3). Good news there is a way, thermography! I have never gotten a mammogram, but I did get a thermography scan and I will keep getting them once a year. So far so good, I have no problems.
