Research Behind Thermography - Part 1

1,245 women with abnormal thermograms were studied for 12 years.

These women were divided into 2 different groups.

Group #1 - 784 women - had an abnormal thermogram but all other tests were normal (physical examination, mammogram, and ultrasound)

Group #2 - 461 women - had an abnormal thermogram plus another positive test to confirm benign breast problems.

What do you think happened to these two groups?

After 12 years:

Group #1 - 298 women or 38% developed breast cancer

Group #2 - 203 women or 44% developed breast cancer

There are a couple of significant conclusions from this study.

You are more likely to develop breast cancer if you have a benign breast condition.

While we are always thankful to hear a suspicious spot comes back benign it still leaves a women at much higher risk of developing breast cancer in the future.

Has your doctor ever told you that?

Many women get told that the lump or suspicious area is benign and then told to go home.

We tell our ladies to count your blessings but then get to work making some serious changes so they can reduce their risk in the future.

The second significant finding is that there is only roughly a 6% difference in those with benign breast condition versus those without.

This means that for the first group of women thermography was the only test telling them they had a concern.

All other tests were negative giving women a false sense of security when 38% of the women had a detectable problem that resulted in cancer.

38% may not seem like much but remember this was over 12 years.

This number most likely rose close to 50% after 20-24 years.

Mammograms, physical examination, and ultrasounds can only tell you if you have sick breasts.

Thermography is one of the only available tools to tell you if you have healthy breasts.

The difference is massive.
