This Week’s Breakthrough...
Thermography Outperforms Mammography
In the 1950s, the military began to develop infrared systemsas a surveillance technique to monitor nighttime troop movement. Most people are familiar with night vision technology, where a person’s body heat generates a visible image on a monitoring screen. Similar technology is now used to detect tissue abnormality within the body. In 1982, the U.S. FDA approved thermography as an adjunct (additional, but secondary) screening procedure.
Thermography is recommended in addition to a mammogram even though thermography is clearly superior to the mammogram in many respects. While both procedures together are better than either one separately, if only one or the other were to be given, it’s likely most physicians who have knowledge of both tests (which they don’t...) would recommend thermography to their wives and other female family members. Mammography evaluates the structure of the tissues via X-rays, while thermography observes the function in terms of the metabolic activity of the tissues.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, afflicting about 13% of women during their lifetimes and killing 40,000 American women annually. It is the leading killer of women aged 35-54. Seventy percent of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of the disease, and 90% are diagnosed by palpation (physical examination involving touch). (1) By the time an abnormality (lump) can be felt, it is likely the tumor has been growing for years, as most breast cancers take 8-10 years to grow to the size of one centimeter [10 millimeters, or about 3/8 of an inch (0.375 inches)]. (2) After reaching this size, it typically takes only 1.5 additional years to grow to the size of 3.5 cm (about 1.375 inches). (3) About 25% of women with breast cancer die within five years and 40% die within 10 years of diagnosis. (4)
Mammography detects disease in roughly 60-80% of women who have tumors. In women who have been taking hormone replacement therapy, the percentage can be lower due to the increased density of breast tissue caused by estrogen intake. Also, breast implants obscure the breast tissue, making mammograms less accurate.
As mentioned, by the time a mammogram is able to detect an abnormality, the tumor is likely to have been growing for years. Thermography, on the other hand, is able to detect tissue abnormality in advance of the formation of a tumor. Even before tissue becomes cancerous, i.e., while it is still in a precancerous state, the metabolic activity increases in the potentially-problemed area in comparison to the surrounding tissue. As cells begin to multiply abnormally, new blood vessel growth is necessary to deliver nutrients to the site and dispose of cellular wastes. This increase in blood circulation produces an increase in regional surface heat which can be detected by the sensitive thermographic equipment. (5) Therefore, even before the actual tumor develops, pre-cancerous tissue can be detected and a medical plan of action can be taken to treat the affected area, thus enhancing the overall immunity of the patient. Even after a tumor begins to develop, cure rates can be increased if treated in the earliest stages. (6)
While mammography has a high rate of false positives (an incorrect positive indication), and detects only 60-80% of cancers—most of which have been growing for years—thermography is able to detect 90% of the malignancies with only 10% false positives. It also detects pre-cancerous tissue having increased metabolic activity, which registers as a relative increase in skin surface heat.
A 1986 study reported in the journal Thermology (7) evaluated both thermography and mammography in their ability to detect breast cancer. The study included 4,716 women with confirmed cancer, 3,305 women with confirmed benign breast disease, and 8,757 women who were non-cancerous. Physical examination detected 75% of all tumors (which is higher than normally observed), but only 50% under two centimeters in size. Mammography detected 80% of the tumors two centimeters or smaller, but 27% of the detections were false positives. Thermography detected 88% including 85% under one centimeter, with only a 15% rate of false positives.
The following are important additional facts about thermography: (8)
More than 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography appear in the medical literature.
Strict, standardized interpretation protocols have existed for at least the past 20 years.
Thermography has an average 90% detection accuracy, with only a 10-15% false positive rate.
While a first order of family history of breast cancer is a significant future risk indicator, an abnormal thermogram is 10 times more significant.
An abnormal thermogram is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer by a factor of 22.
An abnormal breast thermogram is the single most significant marker of high risk for the development of breast cancer.
Infrared thermography can detect the first signs of pre-cancerous development up to 10 years in advance of any other diagnostic procedure.
Clinical studies that span at least 40 years have shown that breast thermo-graphy contributes to the long-term survival rates by as much as 61%.
When thermography is used in conjunction with a clinical examination and mammography, 95% of early-stage cancers can be detected.

Johns Hopkins Update - Good article
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:
1.. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it..
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Pa per isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
