·                    Mammography does not prevent breast cancer.

            Your best protection is prevention.

 

·                    Mammography is not early detection.

            It’s ability to identify cancer is so late that drastic intervention is the only option.

 

 

·                    Mammogram in pre-menopausal women can be up to 89% inaccurate (false positive).

            This results in unnecessary  procedures, emotional and physical trauma.

 

·                    Tumors are frequently located in the upper outer aspects of the breasts.

            Mammogram can’t screen this area and thus often misses these (false negative).

 

·                    Mammography screening has not significantly reduced breast cancer deaths.

            Authors of major research concluded no benefit for screening mammography.

 

·                    Menopausal status, not age is the determining factor in mammogram’s accuracy.

            Tissue density prevents many cancers from being detected by mammography.

 

·                    Breast cancer grows much faster in pre-menopausal women.

            Hormonal influence, including HRT, causes tissue density.

 

·                    Mammography’s radiation risk is 5 times more hazardous than originally reported.

            It’s cancer causing ability equals that of the radiation exposure of an atomic bomb.

 

·                    The radiation exposure of one mammogram is equal to 1,000 times that of a chest X-ray.

            1 rad per breast is emitted. Each rad increases the risk for cancer by 1%.

 

·                    The breast compression during mammography can spread cancer,

            by rupturing small blood vessels surrounding any early, as yet undetected cancers.

 

·                    Mammogram is detecting localized cancers (DCIS), 80% of which never activate.

            Thermography monitoring can insure their inactivity.

 

·                    Detecting pre-cancer cell changes(dysplasia) increases your treatment options.

            Breast cancer can be prevented at this stage.

 

·                    Thermography has the only current technology to detect breast dysplasia.

            It is painless, safe, and 99% accurate in determining if a tumor is benign or malignant.

 

 

·                    Breast cancer has been slowly growing from 8-10 years prior to mammogram detection.

            Thermography can detect in year 2 of its development, thus increasing treatment options.

 

·                    Breast thermography was FDA approved in 1982.

            It was formally a classified technology used by the United States Military.

 

·                    Countries of Europe, Canada, & Australia screen healthy breasts with  thermography

           Mammography is appropriately used to direct biopsy.

 

·                    Breast thermography can rule out the need for biopsy  if mammogram results are not clear.

           Over1 million breast biopsies are performed annually in the U.S. with 75-80% benign.

           

·                    Breast thermography can be used during pregnancy, nursing, &  for women with implants.

            Mammography is contraindicated in these circumstances.

 

·                    Starting breast thermography at age 25 gives you the earliest detection for prevention.

            Breast cancer begins up to 15 years prior to causing death.

 

·                    Starting breast thermography at any age gives you the safest and earliest detection possible.

 

·                    The proper screening hierarchy is thermography,  sonography,  mammography, biopsy.

            This approach limits radiation exposure to only the high risk. Only biopsy can diagnose.

 

·                    Breast thermography is affordable, usually only about $150.00.

 

·                    Breast thermography is reimbursable by some insurers.

            Even if it isn’t covered, it is well worth the expense.

 

·                    Thermography can also be used to detect heart disease and stroke risk.

            It’s ability to detect inflammation in the carotid arteries makes this possible.

 

·                    You may have to educate your doctor about thermography.

·                    Thermography is available in Westchester and New York City.
