How to Avoid Unnecessary Mammogram Radiation

What steps to take prior to scheduling your annual mammogram exam. Learn more about Thermography and its benefits as a possible safer and accurate alternative to mammograms. This procedure is non invasive and does not use radiation. It is complimentary to mammography and causes no harm to the patient.
Thermography has been approved by the United States FDA since 1983 for the adjunctive screening of breast cancer. Recent studies have shown thermography to be effective in women with health breasts at 97% sensitivity.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Seek a health practitioner who has an open mind to alternative medicine
• Find a qualified Thermography center near you
• Research for yourself and read/learn all you can regarding thermography

1. 
   International Academy of Clinical Thermology

   Many mammograms and biopsies are performed unnecessarily. Start learning all you can about Thermography via the International Academy of Clinical Thermology

2. 
   Do your homework

   Locate a qualified Thermography center in your area and ask questions on points you may be unsure of such as when or if you should have a full body or just a breast or prostrate screening. Know your doctor's credentials and experience in the field and once you find someone you feel comfortable with, make an appointment.

3. 
   Be open to alternative medicine

   If any anomalies are found, discuss with your health practitioner what are your alternative treatment choices. Be open to seek alternative non evasive treatment.

Tips & Warnings

• breast thermography is the only known test that can also serve as an early warning system by identifying women who have high-risk pre-cancerous infrared imaging markers
• There is no one test that can detect 99-100% of all cancers. Therefore, no single test exists that can be used alone as an adequate screening or detection method for breast cancer.
• Thermography is far more sensitive than mammography. However, some slow growing non-aggressive cancers will only be detected by mammography.
• If anomalies are found, get multiple doctor opinions before making a decision on treatment
• Do not be intimidated into taking drastic measures without considering alternative non evasive treatment
