Breast Thermography
Oh, how I love Dr. Christiane Northrup. Dr. Northrup is an advocate of breast thermography, and has provided for us her reasons why in her latest article in The Huffington Post. I was so excited about her point of view that I read it twice. I am in 100 percent agreement with her. I, too, am an advocate of breast thermography as a first option of detection. My Mother is a two-time breast cancer survivor. Neither time did her tumors show on a mammogram. It wasn't until she was given further testing that her tumors were detectable. I applaud my Mother for being her own advocate and insisting that what she felt was indeed a mass and she wanted it taken out, malignant or not.
Dr. Northrup states that with thermography, detecting warmer areas in the breast, a trained M.D. will detect inflammation and abnormal cells before they ever have the chance to become a tumor. This will give the patient the opportunity to make diet and lifestyle changes. Decreasing inflammation in the breast will be absolutely necessary. That's where I come in.
A course of treatment for inflammation, from my Acupuncturist's perspective, will look like this:
- Acupuncture
- Dietary Changes
- Self Breast Massage
- Relaxation and Breathing Techniques
Thank you for reading.
