March is traditionally noted as Women's Health Month.  Generally NHN often encourages you to uses thermography and ultrasound for best breast cancer screening because of the risk of developing cancer from mammogram. This herb and of course many others can be helpful to you if you are concerned with breast cancer.

Breast cancer:  Ultrasound better for some, and do not overlook Thermography United Press International, 10-23-12 For women ages 30-39 with symptoms of possible breast cancer, ultrasound is a superior diagnostic tool to mammography, U.S. researchers say. Dr. Constance Lehman, director of radiology at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and professor and vice chair of radiology at the University of Washington, said the use of ultrasound in women ages 30-39 who have overt breast symptoms -- palpable lumps, localized pain and tissue thickening -- is common practice in Europe, where guidelines typically recommend ultrasound as the primary diagnostic imaging tool. The risk for malignancy among women in this age group is small, but real, at about 1.9 percent, Lehman said. The study, published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, found in the 1,208 cases examined, sensitivity for ultrasound was 95.7 percent compared to 60.9 percent for mammography -- ultrasound exams found 22 cancers versus...

For about two decades I have been writing and education about thermography as a better and safer screening method for breast cancer.   The two best reasons are that it does not expose you to unnecessary radiation and it detects 10 years earlier than x-ray. This article may help you have a better view and also worth getting a copy to your health care provider. Sadly I have learned that in some radiology practices they will not allow ultrasound unless you have had a prior mammogram. Get the facts and take a stand for your best health. Excerpt from a clinical article highlighting the facts about thermography - Breast thermography has undergone extensive research since the late 1950's. Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography exist in the index-medicus literature. In this database, well over 300,000 women have been included as study participants. The numbers of participants in many studies are very large -- 10K, 37K, 6...

When I read last month that the Komen Foundation was pinkwashing a perfume I just thought, "What now?" According to Breast Cancer Action this perfume is a chemical soup of toxic substances that are linked with cancer. You can decide for your self, but I support raising a stink! Another taboo topic from Komen is BREAST CANCER PREVENTION. And another is BPA . And yet another is THERMOGRAPHY. Here's a comment from a breast cancer survivor about thermography. She commented on a report that breast cancer survivors need ongoing mammograms. More mammograms = more breast cancer. Where I live the rural hospital doctors do not want to learn anything new according to the administrator, so women in this area will not be able to have the best care. It is no different for men because I have been educating against PSA for at least a decade. I am a breast cancer survivor and I will NEVER have another mammogram. It did not find my tumor the first time(I did) so I do not have any con...
