Since this month is Breast Cancer Month I want to talk about mammograms. Despite what you might believe mammograms are not necessarily the best way to detect breast cancer. In fact, mammograms only reduce death by 10% in breast cancer patients.
Reason: Breast cancer is mainly associated with harmful environmental factors and electromagnetic pollution (the same type of electromagnetic energy used in mammography equipment). This means that mammography machines can actually cause breast cancer in women, or cause further damage to the cancerous cells already present. Breast tissue is the most sensitive tissue on the body and compressing it with 50lbs of weight isn't going to help any cancerous tumor that might be present. It could cause the tumor to bust or damage the cells even further.
Solution: Thermography for the win! The technique of thermography, which measures the heat signature that comes off the body, and detects inflammation, is a safer alternative to mammography.
I respect whatever way you choose to test yourself. Just beware! After all, at the end of the day mammography is a business and you are just a customer, if you don't feel right about something get a second opinion!
Until tomorrow keep eating your apple seeds that contain lots of B-17 goodness for cancer prevention! mmmm!
