Thermography Saved my Life!
How I Became Involved with Thermography...
There have been GIANT strides in thermography in the past 5 years. I performed thermography 30 years ago when it was used in addition to mammography on patients with symptoms; this was before screening mammography was approved by the FDA. (Thermography was approved for breast cancer screening several years before mammography in 1982; mammography was approved in 1989). The technology at the time wasn't very good, and we had to mail - (remember that?) polaroid pictures of the images from here out-west, to somewhere back-east for interpretation. By the time we got the results back, the patient would have already had surgery! So, thermography proved to be useless to me at that time, and I abandoned it in favor of mammography.
After performing mammography for over 35 years, it became apparent that I was not detecting breast cancer early enough to save lives. Changing to digital mammography did not significantly reduce the radiation dose to breast tissue as it was supposed to do. Corporate medicine, of which mammography is a mainstay, will not allow these truths to be told.

First Look at Preventative Care
New Ways to Look at Health...
Though family history may play a role, the fact is, most diseases like cancer, heart disease, and stroke, are more life-style related than hereditary. It's also a fact that most of the screening tests today are designed to find problems at the latest and most critical stages of disease, when what we really want to do is prevent, not find life threatening problems, right?
Science recognizes the human body as a self-healing organism. When interference to normal body function exists, the human body adapts with its coping mechanisms; when the body’s natural efforts to adapt are exhausted, signs and symptoms develop.
Most people do not seek medical help until symptoms limit their normal ability to function, or threaten their survival... These attitudes need to change.
Medical Thermal Imaging works to help you better understand your body’s functions and stress points. By identifying your body’s thermal emission patterns, we are able to help determine if your body is being challenged in its effort to maintain a stable internal environment, so... why not take a look?
