Breast Thermal Imaging
As many of you know I am really interested in helping women create breast health and prevent breast cancer. Breast cancer has many lifestyle and environmental factors that can be modified to reduce your risk. Thermal imaging is a great tool to help you create healthy breasts and screen for breast cancer without harm to your health or possibly even increasing your risk of cancer. Please read below for more information.
Why Thermal Imaging?
Over the years I have heard from many women about their concerns regarding the radiation exposure and painful squishing of mammography. Many of my patients did not want to have mammograms at all due to the risk of repeated exposure to radiation. I began to look at thermal imaging about 6 years ago. The research is very compelling and I wondered why we were not using it for breast cancer screening. Over the past 6 years thermal imaging has really progressed-due to the digital age. The camera's now are small, affordable, and very precise. My camera measures to 1/100 of a degree centigrade.
The idea is that cancerous tissue must have a blood supply for glucose and other nutrients to grow. These new blood vessels or neovascularities maintain a steady temperature independent of cooling or heating of the surrounding tissue. This temperature can actually be monitored over time-making thermal imaging an excellent breast cancer prevention device. Many people ask me whether I recommend a thermal image or a mammogram? My answer is that they are two different tools. Mammogram is a breast cancer detection device-generally once you can see something on mammogram it has been there for some time requiring immediate medical attention. Most findings on Thermal Imaging are too delicate to be seen by mammography making it an excellent breast cancer prevention and screening tool. If you can see changes eight to ten years prior to a finding on mammogram, you can make some life style changes that may change the course of that cancer. Poor diet and environmental exposure to plastics and synthetic hormones have been proven to increase the risk of breast cancer. There are changes that we can make. We are not helpless to preventing breast cancer. There is a lot of research in this area now. Don't delay-take control of your breast cancer screening today and see what you can do to improve the health of your breast! |

What our kids eat is critically important -- especially in the middle of the school day, when good nourishment is key to learning. But it's a tall order to prepare a meal that's healthy, tastes great hours after you make it, appeals to your children and isn't bad for the environment. Especially for busy parents on a weekday morning!
Try these smart, doable steps to pack eco-healthy school lunches for your kids:
1. Stockpile healthy recipes that work: Use the experts!!
Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed Our Children, by Ann Cooper (aka The Renegade Lunch Lady) and Lisa M. Holmes
The Earthbound Cook: 250 Recipes for Delicious Food and a Healthy Planet, by Myra Goodman
The Unhealthy Truth, by Robyn O'Brien
2. Send less and better meat. Not all meat is created equal. Your kids should eat small portions of the healthier, low-impact options - Skip processed meats -- sliced lunch meats, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, sausage and the like -- even though they're easy to stick in a lunchbox.
- Avoid meats treated with antibiotics or hormones (look for a "no" message on the label or buy organic).
- Stick with chicken and turkey; they're low-impact and low-fat.
- Try alternative proteins such as hummus, nuts and whole grains.
3. Pack more fruits and veggies, with minimal pesticides. The government's new "My Plate" nutrition guidelines recommend that half your plate (or lunchbox, in this case!) consist of fruits and vegetables.
4. Junk juice. Instead of sugary juice, soda or bottled water, send your child to school with filtered water in a stainless steel bottle
5. Reduce lunchtime waste. School lunches can generate lots of garbage, like any out-of-the-home meal. Go easier on the local landfill by sending lunch and snacks in reusable packaging and skip single-serve items.
Here are some examples of school lunches our staff put together for their own kids: Almond butter and jam on whole wheat
Organic cherry tomatoes
Organic watermelon wedges and blueberries
Fruit leather -- look for natural brands or make your own Brown rice and bean chili in a thermos
Organic sliced carrots
Tortilla chips and fresh tomato salsa
Organic Apple slices Peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat
Handful of cashews
Organic sweet corn
Organic peach Tomato soup in a thermos
Small chicken or turkey wrap or sliced cooked chicken
Organic cucumber slices with lime and salt
Organic grapes mixed with carrot slices *(Adapted from ewg.com) For more information, visit their website
