Cancer Schmancer: Why Early Detection is the Key

Reality Check!

In the ideal world, all people would act responsibly, but the reality is in all of the above reports. People do what they do not only because they don't know any better, but for emotional reasons as well. It is very true that cancer is the result of the lifestyles we have and the foods we eat, but it is also the result of things over which we have no control. That is why it is imperative to screen for things that are developing in the body without symptoms.

Early detection is the key, but the detection methods must be safe, accurate, and early enough to motivate victims to intervene on their own behalf. The idea that habits may have consequences is abstract to most until it becomes a personal reality. Medical screening with radiation is not early detection and is not safe. The ionizing radiation used is a known cancer causing agent.

A safer and earlier detection tool is Infrared Thermal Imaging, or Thermography. It uses no radiation, is non-invasive and detects the inflammatory process that precedes cancer, as well cancer in stages that cannot be detected with radiation. With the advanced notice that what was once abstract is now real, one is more likely to correct what needs correcting in diet and lifestyle.

Radiation detection is too late and not safe. This includes CT scans and Mammograms.
