What is Thermography?

Thermography simply stated is the measurement of heat and does not use any X-ray or compression. Used as a non-invasive health tool we are able to see the condition of the body and how the organs are performing.

While X-rays give a structural view, thermography gives a functional perspective based on physiology and stress response. This exam gathers information, and detects areas of potential dysfunction or disease years earlier than current exams. With this knowledge a person has time for appropriate life style change.

Thermography is the Most Advanced Breast Mammoscan Available

This little-known test finds abnormal breast tissue years earlier than mammograms. Because there is no compression required, it doesn't mash or squeeze your breast, thus reducing the risk of a ruptured cyst.

Think about it! Have you ever wondered...?

Why cancer rates keep rising?
Why when X-RAY is a known cause of cancer we continue to X-ray the most vulnerable tissue on your body for your semi-annual or annual breast mammogram exam?
Are you aware X-Rays are cumulative and do not dissipate?
Mammograms, IF needed, should be after all other non-invasive tests? (Back to Top)

Why Thermography is Important for You and your Health

Why is Thermography important for you?

Regulation thermography is effective in exposing disease processes before symptoms begin and early detection of many physical imbalances. Often times symptoms are an early warning signal of dysfunction in one area of the body that may not seem related to the problem, but may be an underlying cause. Thermography can help determine if additional lab work may be needed and can avoid unnecessary expensive lab tests.

What can be determined by Thermography?

Computerized Regulation Thermography can discover possible sources of chronic disease and infections. Breast, ovarian, and prostate health can also be assessed. Possible cardiovascular, stomach, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder problems. Unknown causes of infection, inflammation, allergic or toxic reactions to food and/or environmental toxins, intestinal mycosis or dysbiosis, correlations between dental health and much more.

Why is Thermography Helpful?

In chronic disease, there are often factors that block successful treatment. These may include:

Infections in the teeth
Low-grade chronic viral and fungal infection
Heavy metal toxicity
Chronic psychological imbalances
Intestinal toxins and dysfunction
Immune system weaknesses
Lymphatic obstructions
Food allergies

Many of the functional imbalances we find are due to poor lifestyle choices.

This is Not Outdated Infrared Thermography

Older systems of infrared thermography used decades ago created results yielding false positives, and the medical community discarded them. This new evolution of thermographic instruments is the result of years of clinical case data. Often points lying in distant parts of the body serve to verify suspicious thermograms, there by decreasing false negatives and positives substantially. Computer Regulated Thermography performs adjunct assessment for focal causes of disease in integrative functional medicine.

Breast Cancer Study (Stuttgart, Germany)

A major asset of Computerized Regulation Thermography is early detection and confirmation of breast cancers. In a German study, 54% of breast cancer patients were correctly diagnosed by history and physical examination. The number rose to 76% when mammography was added. However, when computerized regulation thermography was used, the accuracy of diagnosis rose to 92%. Many women today are concerned about the effects of cumulative radiation and compression that is associated with routine mammograms. Mammography may be necessary when non-invasive exams are inconclusive. (Back to Top)

How to Prepare for Your Thermogram

Extreme Importance! Computerized Regulation Thermography is a highly sensitive exam. Instructions need to be followed for your exam to be accurate. Any questions, please call (208) 377-1733.

Do not shower, exercise, or engage in any activities that will increase your circulation.

Eat a light breakfast. Do not drink any coffee, including decaf, or any caffeinated beverages, like Coca-Cola, Pepsi or Red Bull.

Please do not smoke or drink alcohol for a minimum of 24 hours before your appointment.

Take only medications that you take regularly. Your physician can give you further information.

Wear comfortable cotton clothing. Synthetic materials increase the bodys temperature. Wear long sleeves, longs pants, socks and shoes.

Please do not wear tight clothing, including belts. Anything that leaves a red mark when you remove it is too tight. This increases the bodys temperature.

Do not use any deodorants, creams, lotions, or make-up on your skin. Men should avoid shaving on the morning of their appointment. If you want to wash your hair or shave do this the night before the appointment. Have hair pulled back or up off the neck and shoulders.

Avoid confrontation or emotional stress on the day of your thermogram.

For best results, women should schedule before or after their periods.

If you cannot keep your appointment, please give a 48 hour notice so someone else can use the time. (Back to Top)
