On the subject of women’s health, I feel it is important to discuss breast health. As a Naturopath, naturally I am concerned about the number of cases of breast cancer that are diagnosed each year. In my work in natural health, I focus on prevention and try to teach and educate my clients on good health and lifestyle habits. Since we do stress natural health, most Naturopaths are not advocates of mammograms because we believe they are harmful for several reasons. First of all, they are extremely painful as any of you that have had one know first hand. Secondly, we believe exposing such delicate and sensitive breast tissue to radiation is not a very smart thing to do.
The good news is, is that there is an alternative to mammograms. This technology is called Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging and is a way to detect abnormalities in breast tissue. It is a simple, non-invasive, non-toxic, non-radiation and completely pain-free technique used to detect breast pathologies and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. This test is reviewed by Radiologists who have been specifically trained in reading this type of thermal imaging report.
