Thermography pics



Greetings to everyone today on this beautiful photo Friday!



I spent today getting my 6 month full body thermography scan.  The initial scan looked good and I’ll get the final report next week.  I’ve had them before but the general idea is that thermography measures subtle temperature changes in the skin and underlying structures.  While mammography can detect cancers early (if the radiologist is paying attention) a thermography scan can detect physiological changes associated with cancer and other diseases while it is still at a cellular level – well before it becomes visible on a mammogram.

A thermography scan can also detect lymphatic congestion another precursor to disease.  And the effects of diet are very visible on the scans.  The better you eat, the less inflammation you have – all there in pretty colors do get your attention.  At least is has definitely gotten my attention.

But thermography is not a standalone test.  It’s just another piece to the puzzle, along with HCG testing and constant monitoring by my doctors. If anyone is thinking about getting a scan one of the first questions to ask is how many images the technician take.  Ohio Infrared takes anywhere from 60 – 100.  There are places that only take 15 images- like everything else, buyer beware.

  We hope you all have a great weekend.  Prayers to those in the way of hurricane Patricia.
