What is Whole Body Thermography?

Whole Body Thermography is a non-invasive “early detection” system that accurately assesses organ and body malfunctions by identifying “signatures” of diseases. This whole-body tool has been used to identify functional disease patterns prior to other screening systems such as ultrasound, x-ray, mammography, CT Scan and MRI at a fraction of the price.

Thermography precisely measures heat and temperature changes on the surface of the skin using 120 points on the body that represent different organs and functions that have been derived from over 30 years of use in over 500 medical centers worldwide. The treatment takes about 30-45 minutes, is completely painless and produces no radiation or toxicity. By gathering clinical correlations from over 30,000 patients worldwide and using parallel radiology and pathology assessments, the founders of this device were able to discover how patterns of thermoregulatory responses depict organ and tissue health.

 

Thermography is a non-invasive, thirty minute test. It does not use radiation which is known to cause cancer. It does not compress breast tissue which is dangerous to do if cancer is present and also uncomfortable. It is better than mammography at early detection of breast abnormalities. This screening tool can identify potential issues related to breast cancer at an early stage where there is a high percentage of a complete cure. Thermography can spot suspicious tissue changes 10 years before it is detected by mammography.

Chemical and blood vessel activity in the area surrounding developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in the normal breast. When a tumor is forming, it develops its own blood supply to feed its accelerated growth and this increased blood flow can increase the surface temperature of the breast. Pre-cancerous tissues can start this process well in advance of the cells becoming malignant.

Mammography has not proved to be a flawless screening tool. It has a difficult time giving a good reading in women with dense breasts or implants, exposes women year after year to radiation and compresses tissue which in the event of cancer, is unsafe.

The August 2007 issue of Radiology reports that mammography centers across the country in the US are closing because the false negative rates of mammography range as high as 40%.
