blood vessels formed to create a nutrient supply for a developing tumor. Termog- raphy detects inflammation, vascular patterns, lymph changes (congestion or activity), and hormonal activity associated with estrogen dominance. In other words, it tells a patient’s physician where in the body to begin additional testing or treat- ments. Tis is what it did for Dr. Hughes’ patient,” explains Kean. “A body adapts to a very slow-


growing tumor, which means physiologi- cal changes from scan to scan may not be visible. All women, not just those who are high-risk, should do a DITI annually, as well as some form of structural testing. Tey all have their strengths and weak- nesses,” clarifies Kean, who gets regular referrals from local physicians as well as from Snow and Evans.


Better Treatment and Wellness Plans Evans’ Mag- nify Your Health Program focuses on wellness and prevention. “Te subtle imbalances, stagnation and inflammation that I see in digital imag- ing results enable me to be very specific with my treatment and patient wellness plans. I consider my patients who use this tool as prevention

Antiogenic-Inhibiting Foods as Medicine Generally, by the time a mammogram de- tects something, it’s been growing silently for five to eight years. Termography detects changes earlier, giving women the opportunity to be proactive by reduc- ing stress, getting more sleep, balancing hormone levels and including antiogenic- inhibiting foods such as red grapes, strawberries, green tea, kale, turmeric, cherries, nutmeg, artichokes, parsley, garlic, tomatoes and Maitake mushrooms in their diet.

Consistent, routine screening is imperative as part of a woman’s wellness program. It is equally as important that women be educated on different screening options. They


have thermography, mammography, ultrasound and MRI to choose from. Each method looks for abnormalities in a different way. Each has its own advantage and unfortunately, none of them alone cover us 100 percent. A combination of methods usually works well, depending on the woman’s age, history and type of breast tissue.

that specialized in nutrition. “I wanted to know why I had breast cancer,” she recalls. Aſter many blood tests, Lemons was told that her oestradiol (estrogen) level was extremely high. “Studies, such as those now published at PubMed.gov show that this condition in premenopausal women is positively as- sociated with breast cancer risk. While I believe that blood endogenous hormone levels should be assessed by healthcare providers, they aren’t,” advises Lemons. Her full recovery included taking Protocel, a unique type of liquid formulation pur- ported to work on a cellular level to make cancer cells fall apart, eating a healthy diet, eliminating antiperspirant deodorant and tight, underwire bras. She continues to take vitamin D3

able by individuals, the future of breast cancer prevention and treatment puts the patient in the driver’s seat. Consider working with a professional that is open to thermography and identifying risk factors, as well as to developing a custom- ized strategy and long-term solutions that can result in a significantly lower risk of developing cancer.
