“Mammogate” And Thermography
Filed Under Big Government, Health Care Reform, Natural Healing, Natural Solutions, Uncategorized
With the continuing controversy and debate surrounding “Mammogate” here is an interesting alternative that can spot breast cancer years before mammograms and is much safer. Thermography can detect disease and injury by revealing the thermal abnormalities present in the body. Can assess pain and pathology anywhere on the body and is very helpful in monitoring therapy. No radiation - 100% safe for everyone Non-invasive, no injections. Offers privacy - no bodily contact. Thermography is cost effective, risk-free and provides instant images through digital technology. A device developed for Cold War spying might help women detect breast cancer four to six years before it appears on a mammogram. Shelley Gilliland, a certified clinical thermographer for Radiant Health Imaging, uses digital infrared thermal imaging to detect and monitor a number of diseases and physical injuries, including breast cancer.
“It works by showing the thermal abnormalities present in the body,” Gilliland said. “In a single click of my camera, I take over 80,000 temperature readings of the body.
“While not all abnormalities are cancer, all cancers start as an abnormality.”
Medical digital infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that pictures and analyzes changes in the skin’s surface temperature without the use of radiation. While X-rays, ultrasound, and mammography show the structure of the body, thermal imaging shows the physiological activity, such as active inflammation and increased blood supply found in many illnesses.
Gilliland said more than 50 percent of her business is from women seeking an earlier form of detection than a mammogram can offer.
“It is radiation free and there is no contact with the body,” she added. “There is no squashing or compression.”
A scanning device – think an advanced digital camera – is used to convert infrared imaging from the skin surface into electrical impulses that are shown in color on a monitor.
The visual image maps the body temperature and is referred to as a thermogram. The spectrum of colors indicates an increase or decrease in the amount of heat being emitted from the body surface.
Gilliland said since there is a high degree of thermal symmetry in the normal body, subtle abnormal temperature differences are easily identified, and because infrared thermal imaging is highly sensitive to variations in the vascular, muscular, neural, and skeletal systems, it can contribute invaluable information to a diagnosis made by a physician.
The images are then checked by a group of more than 30 doctors for abnormal vascular activity.
“Initially, we take a baseline image. After 90 days, a second image is taken and compared to the first,” Gilliland said. “The doctors look for changes over time.”
Like fingerprints, Gilliland said without a pathological change or injury, the images should stay the same.
In order for a mammogram to detect a breast cancer tumor, Gilliland said the tumor is between six and eight years old and has over a billion cells. However, a thermogram can detect the heat given off by cancer cells multiplying at two years, or 256 cells, before it is even a lump.
“This can give a woman four to six years to get healthier with life style changes and monitor the area,” she said. “In a nutshell it is earlier detection and screening or well care versus sick care.”
Plus a thermogram can be used to help doctors monitor how well radiation treatment is working on a specific tumor, which could mean the difference between a partial lumpectomy and a mastectomy.
Gilliland became interested in the technology after meeting Radiant Health Imaging founder Pam Ryerse. Gilliland has been a nurse for more than 30 years and said overtime she has developed a more holistic and preventative approach, and thermography has become a mission for her.
“I have four daughters; that’s eight breasts that I need to worry about,” she said. “And young women are kind of falling through the cracks.”
While insurance doesn’t cover thermography, Gilliland is quick to point out that mammograms for women younger than 40 years of age are not generally covered either.
“It’s about peace of mind. Knowing that nothing is growing, what is that worth?” she said.

The Institute of Cancer in Chicago is a puppet of the FDA. The FDA in my opinion is nothing more than a medical mafia. The FDA is more ruthless and inhumane than Adolph Hitler or satan. The mission of the FDA is to kill the population off while profiting from the poisonous drugs they instruct cancer doctors to administer to patients.
Digital thermography works. Putting confidence in an opinion coming from a biased instition like the FDA is not smart. They’ve been suppressing cancer causes and cures for many years, so why should anyone trust their opinion about digital thermography?

A few yrs ago I paid 200 and this yr 250 out of pocket. It will likely be a while before insurance covers this. To me, it’s worth it and I only go every 2-3 yrs, even if they suggest 6 mon as long as I’m in the “medium risk” range.
[Reply]
I met with the manager of the radiology center I use for mammograms a few years ago, asking why they didn’t routinely use thermography instead. Of course, I couldn’t get an answer that made sense.
Why isn’t there a demand that the insurance companies start to reimburse for this?
I had one many, many years ago.

my insurance pays fully for a mammogram and $0 for Thermography. I know which one I prefer, but don’t have that choice!!!

I have been screening both men and women with Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging in NYC and Westchester County for 5 years. The early detection has helped more than one reverse breast disease.
Though Thermography has been FDA approved for breast screening, conventional medicine does not endorse this technology because they have no treatment protocol for truly early stage breast cancer.Until they can see a tumor, they cannot biopsy it or remove it.
In the early stages, boosting the immune systems’ defense can halt and reverse the disease. The regression as well as the progression can be detected with Thermography.
The 47% false positive rates of mammogram in premenopausal women are bad enough, but the false negative rates in this age group are even more alarming. Women who have been screened with mammogram annually often have negative results but still have breast cancer. These women are not diagnosed until the disease is at stage four (metastisized). That is not early detection. Truly early detection is early enough to prevent damage from the disease and leave a woman intact.
All cancers are not harmful. Chemotherapy damages the immune system and should not be given to women unless they have active cancer. Mammograms and biopsies cannot distinguish between functional (harmful) and non-functional (harmless) cancers. Once cancer cells are identified, the non-harmful and harmful are all treated the same. Thermography can help with the determination as to whether a woman has a disease that needs treatment. A non-functional cancer will not show up on thermography, thus sparing unnecessary treatment.
Other countries such as Canada, England, Australia, and have endorsed Thermography for breast screening. It is time that we embrace this technology in the US.

We provide thermography services in the Houston, TX area as well as in Oregon and Washington. Most of our clients are women who are seeking out a safe way to monitor their health without concerns of radiation or compression. However, it is important to realize that thermography scans provide information for many conditions — thyroid imbalance, diabetes, stroke, heart issues, dental, liver/gallbladder, stomach and colon — the list is very long.
Last year I had an aha moment when I realized that more women die from heart disease, the silent killer, than from breast cancer each year. Many are affected with diabetes, too. In focusing on breast issues alone, we are missing the mark. Pink ribbons each October encourage us to focus on breast cancer but, when screening with a full body scan, thermography may detect other potentially serious conditions before they get too developed.

I was delighted to read the article by Shelley Gilliland regarding Thermography. I knew some day someone would invent an intelligent way to do mammograms. I also like that the infrared thermanl imaging can detect other problems in the body. I hope the insurance companies change their minds about paying for this in their plans. It makes sense to do so because it would also save them money in the long run. I live in Ocala, Florida and I would like to know where I can get this done and what the charge would be. Please advise and thank you.

To FURTHER Charlie Hanna’s remarks about using natural means and eschewing the technology being debated here, I have this to say: I am a long time user of Ancient techniques to stay healthy and regain from any challenges to my health… When I was part of the Western medical system, a mammogram that I received in my mid-forties directed my doctors to get me back in two weeks to look at a spot they had seen. I gave up chocolate and coffee in those two weeks and there was nothing seen as before. There is more and more research being done showing that belief creates reality. No more just pollyana-ism, one usually must learn techniques to improve your visualization skills. I am one of thousands being ignored who would implore the governments of the world to encourage more education. Yet the industries deny these realities of many and prefer to collect their big bucks for their varied procedures to kill cells in order to heal.

From the research I have done on this procedure I have found that the average price is $150 single focus area and $350 full body image. I have been helping women balance hormones naturally and without the use of bioidentical hormone use for years, saving them from the agonizing pain and suffering that goes along with breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers caused by extreme hormone imbalancese. There is a need for this service. I have plans to bring Thermography to south Texas very soon. It’s uses are very diverse and beneficial to all seeking a safer screening method.

Congrats Shelley and Pam,
As a clinical thermographer and holistic RN, I believe that thermography is a mechanism for early detection and an ideal way to screen, since it has been approved by the FDA as an adjunctive diagnostic tool for the detection of breast cancer(1982). I look forward to when this is available to everyone with or without insurance, regardless of ability to pay. Thermography is a sensible way to monitor your health and physiology.
[Reply]
For the largest network of Certified Clinical Thermographers see http://www.meditherm.com/locations.
No thermography is not a good detection tool for prostate malfunction because thermography works by differentiating levels of heat. The location of the prostate is in an area of large blood supply and heat so it is difficult to differentiate its heat from the heat of the surrounding tissue.
In NY and Westchester Counties, see my site http://www.newdimensionthermography.com.

I tried the locator menu option on the Meditherm link and it doesn’t seem to be working. (Though I just tried with Internet Explorer and not with Mozilla).
I live in Spokane, WA and had a thermogram done locally via a naturopath’s office. They sent it out to someone to read; not sure who. This was a couple years ago and I should probably get back for another one. But I believe they only offer them for the breast area.
I think I ran into a nurse practitioner (I think she was) in the Hayden, ID area who also offers thermograms. I wanted people who may be in the Spokane or Idaho panhandle area to know you have some options in this area.

I am a certified clinical thermographer in Tucson, AZ and I applaud all these comments I have read thus far.
For those of you asking your MD for their input, I strongly caution you in relying only on their response. Ask them to please share with you what reading and research have they done (due diligence) before you walk away with their comments determining your action.
Also, thermography is a preventive tool and many allopathic MDs are not trained in prevention.
So, I encourage you to do your own research, ask many questions to those who have done research on thermography and find out for yourself if this technology supports your philosophy relating to your health and wellness.

The next time you have a thermal scan have the doctor show you one of your face. If you have cancer it will show the hot spot in your mouth. that’s oral pathology where cancer comes from. Dr. Dowling says the most important Dr. in your life is your dentist he can heal you or kill you. there are to dentist that understand oral pathology, one in Knoxville TN. Clearwater Fl. contact Dr. dowling North Carolina institute of technology Cancer research is a ripoff cancer can be cured so easy they can’t figure out how to charge for it. so they cover up that there is a simple cure. I see the thermography on this page show the face and you will see the hot spot in the mouth.

DR. Robert Dowling in 2006 Has proven the cause and cure for cancer and other diseases. It all comes from the mouth. Its oral pathology. He can cure cancer in 15 min. faster than the common cold. He is a bio scientist the founder of North Carloina institute of technology. A thermal face scan will show the hot spot in your mouth.Thats where the cancer is coming from. His office number is (828)622-9482 near Ashville NC. Right now there two dentist working with him. hopefully soon all dentist will will understand oral pathology and the dangers of what they are doing to humans. If you have cancer you need to contact him. He has cured thousands of people around the world. and travels the world teaching cancer research centers on his findings. he threatens a trillion dollar pharmaceutical Industry so the government don’t want you to know that the cure is simple cheep and safe. Now you have the info the rest is up to you. You owe it to your self and your loved ones to see for your self. people can say what they want about Robert Dowling but they can’t prove him wrong.

I have now thermography every 2 years, because of my age, I am 70. It is many years that I am doing it. If you want your insurance to pay for it, you should have from your doctor a letter saying that you breast have nodules (I do not remember the word), you ask your insurance to send you a letter saying that they will pay, and stay after them, phone them and fight, you will be paid.
My thermography cost $135. and she also have my face done.
I live in Sarasota, FL.
It shows if you have an infection somewhere with red colour.
It is convenient and if you have a cyst it will not burst. There is 200 thousand women that have cancer because of that, and it is not reported by your doctor or the media. It is all about money at our expense.
Lets fight it.

I was pleased to find Radiant Health Imaging almost 2 years ago. I have done literature searches Medline, etc… that have article going at least back to the 1980’s relating the sensitivity of thermography to changes in the breast tissue compared to mammography. I will continue getting a yearly thermogram. I prefer to be proactive. The idea of compressing the breasts (it is a bit tight), possibly damaging cells in the process, then exposing the radiation sensitive tissue to focused radiation always concerned me. Each woman should make her own educated health choices. Be informed, do the research and be responsible for your health!

I have been providing breast thermography screening in New York City for over five years now. What troubles me the most is that this technology is not new. It has been around for 38 years now and approved by the FDA.
When you realize that a mammogram can only detect a tumor that is 1 cm in size. And that it can take up to 7, or even 10 years for the tumor to grow to that size, it is evident that breast thermography is a viable solution for early detection. It is also believed by some scientist that radiation from mammograms is responsible for 10% of breast cancer in the first place.
You can find more information on my website and watch my video demonstration of the procedure at:
