What Is Breast Thermography?

We are so happy to offer breast thermography to our female practice members. In a recent blog, we shared our most recent episode on breast health and today we are going to look at strategies for healthy breasts, including thermography, and if it is something for you to consider having.

The Drugless Doctor’s Strategy for Healthy Breasts!

Why does this matter to you?

American Cancer Society 2017 stats- 1/8 women will develop breast cancer in their life time, 85% of them with no risk factors, a woman’s risk DOUBLES if they have a first degree relative (sister, mother, grandmother).

1/3 women treated will be treated unnecessarily with mammograms- false positives, unnecessary procedures.

Why? 3rd leading cause of death in America today is MEDICAL ERROR (John Hopkins study 2016).

healthybreasts .jpg

How our body works together- Liver & Lymphatic System

Cancer is caused by changes in a cell's DNA – its genetic "blueprint." Some of these changes may be inherited from our parents, while others may be caused by outside exposures, which are often referred to as environmental factors. Environmental factors can include a wide range of exposures, such as:

1. Lifestyle factors (nutrition, tobacco use, physical activity, etc.)

2. Naturally occurring exposures (ultraviolet light, radon gas, infectious agents, etc.)

3. Medical treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, immune system-suppressing drugs, etc.)

4. Workplace exposures (chemicals, solvents, sprays, cleansers, vapors, air quality)

5. Household exposures (herbicides, pesticides, paint vapors, gasoline other chemicals)

6. Pollution (xenohormones or estrogens in water, herbicides, pesticides; also toxic air)                                          

Action Steps

Focus on green vegetables (decrease estrogen in your body).

Breast Thermography & Self-breast examination

Avoid soy, soda, liver stressing meds and canned food; eat organic foods.

June H2H | Anti-Aging

Everywhere you go it seems like there's a new skin-care company promoting a product which will cure fine lines and wrinkles. It's true that we want to look as young as we can for as long as we can, and for this month's H2H, we are looking at drugless and natural steps to help keep our youthful glow. Please watch the video below and share with anyone you know can benefit! For optimal viewing, please turn up the volume when watching!

The Drugless Doctors Anti-Aging Tips!

In June (and every month), we want to teach you our drugless tips on how to help age gracefully and to keep your youthful glow as long as possible!

A recent USA TODAY study done on people 60+, when asked about things they would have done differently to prepare for their senior years- the top 2 things were taken better care of their health and spending more time with family.

1. True health- is not more drugs or more surgeries, taking responsibility now-prevention now

2. Biological age vs. chronological age

3. Quality of lifestyle and diets can shorten or lengthen the human lifespan.

The Aging Process

- Oxygen and free radicals produce toxic chemicals in the body that hinder metabolism, accumulation of toxic breakdown products slows down body chemistry & interferes with enzyme functions. Scientists say we experience 10,000 individual free radicals each day.

- Sugar and inflammation- robs our body of minerals (especially chromium, potassium, zinc, and B vitamins). They prevent movement of essential fatty acid’s and stress out our pancreas and adrenal glands, inhibits our immune system, feeds yeast/bacteria, dissolves minerals in our teeth and causes WRINKLING.

Fact- rats that live on a calorie restricted diet with no sugar live 50% longer.

3. Stress and your environment- our capacity of stress has limits, if we exceed them our body breaks down, 2 types of stress: positive (things we choose to engage in/challenges us and strengthens) negative (tears us down). Physical, chemical, and emotional stresses on the body.

The Drugless Doctors Anti-Aging Plan

- Chiropractic: Supports your brain and nervous system. It stabilizes and enhances your ability to rebuild/heal yourself. It’s estimated there are 10,000 free radicals per day your body withstands. The CNS is the primary system that controls all function/healing in the body as well.

- Healthy fuel for your body- to help keep cells active/clean/moving

- Digestive efficiency, optimal bowel flora, bowel movements

- Clean water- drinking 1⁄2 your body weight in ounces per day

- Avoidance of external/internal toxic influences (air, environment, chemicals, foods)

- Exercise-brain and body health, detoxification, balancing hormones, movement is life

- Sunshine -> Vitamin D

- Positive goals, activities, supportive relationships, self-esteem

- Enjoyment of your own life- if it is to be, it is up to ME

- REST and RELAXATION!

Our Top 3 Anti–Aging Products

1. Oil (flax, fish, Optimal EFA’s) – 1 tablespoon per day or 3 capsules

2. Bio- Protect Plus – high in antioxidants and green tea extract

3. Resveratrol 150 from Gaia  Herbs– Antioxidants, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic
