How Cool Are You? October 18, 2011

A test which provides insight into the body’s physiology, how the body works, and an opportunity for prevention, seems too good to be true. But that test already is in existence….known by the name Thermography. Thermography measures body temperatures which can indicate many health issues years before other tests. In a recent study of breast health, thermography’s marks for sensitivity were 97%. Thermography simply measures, with incredible precision, one’s body temperatures as it takes a thermal image, and the advantage of no side effects.

Dr. Christiane Northrup states, “instead of just screening for breast cancer, a thermogram can tell you how healthy your breasts are. It also has the potential to truly detect breast cell anomalies long before mammography can detect cancer, when done properly. This allows you to implement lifestyle changes that can improve the health of your breasts proactively instead of waiting for a cancer diagnosis later. In honor of Breast Health Awareness Month, I encourage you to check out thermography for yourself and your loved ones.”

Thermography is appropriate for women of all ages, even younger women, who are increasingly getting breast cancer. Many women also have breast implants that can be damaged or hard to image with mammograms.

Studies tell us that for a tumor to be detected in a mammogram, it has to have been growing for about seven years. Dr. Northrup writes, “with thermography as your regular screening tool, it’s likely that you would have the opportunity to make adjustments to your diet, beliefs and lifestyle to transform your cells before they became cancerous. Talk about true prevention.”

For Breast Health Awareness Month, The Acupuncture & Natural Healing Center will be offering $25 discounts for first time patients, and for existing patients who “bring a friend” for a first time scan. Scans must be booked at the same time.

Breast Cancer May Be Connected With Household Chemicals October 7, 2011

A study recently published in the journal Environmental Health reports that frequent use of common household cleaning products may increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. The study was undertaken by the Silent Spring Institute, a partnership of scientists, physicians, public health advocates and community activists dedicated to identifying links between the environment and women’s health, especially breast cancer. Researchers conducted telephone interviews with 787 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 721 comparison women, questioning them about their product use, beliefs about breast cancer causes, and established and suspected risk factors.

Executive Director Julia G. Brody, Ph.D., says, “Women who reported the highest combined cleaning product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest reported use. Use of air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control were associated with increased risk. To our knowledge, this is the first published report on cleaning product use and the risk of breast cancer.” The use of insect repellents was also associated with increased risk.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so be safe, get yourself checked.

Peace, love and light! Namaste
