Cancer as a “Lump or Bump”
Medicine’s approach to cancer seems to be more like a ‘lump or bump’ theory – ie. that cancer is merely a lump or bump that we should cut, poison or burn out of the body, thus saving the patient.
Cancer is a Disease of the Immune System
Interviewed on ABC news, Dr. William Amalu explains the value of Thermography very well, and its use ‘in addition’ to routine breast health programmes. If you need a clearer overview of the value of Thermography, this is the one, but you can hear the confusion in the voice of the interviewer when he asks why the medical establishment won’t ‘endorse’ Thermography.

Functional Medicine – a paradigm shift in our approach to chronic illness!
It seems that every once in a while there is a paradigm shift in our understanding of something complex and significant. Somehow we’re trapped into thinking in certain ways about these systems, mostly because of the way they are taught to us, how our social...
What is the immune system?
We put a lot of emphasis on the immune system and its proper functioning in relation to cancer, but do we really understand what the immune system is and how it works? It is hard to pin it down because it is a system – meaning that it’s a group of organs, cells...

A Prevention-Based Society
Breast health 'awareness' seems to be the key word in October, but what good is awareness without a guide good health. Prevention AND awareness seem like a better strategy, but how would we promote the idea of preventative health? The effects of cancer on...

Legislation for Prevention
Cancer and obesity are at epidemic proportions – even though there are preventative measures we can all take. But, what role should government have in this – should we legislate for prevention?
Integrative Healing
If you watch Chris Wark’s interview with Dr Leigh Erin Connealy, you may notice a stand-out point that deserves a mention. Dr Connealy makes it very clear that after a cancer diagnosis, her patients who focus on nutrition and integrative medicine first, have significantly better outcomes than patients who come to her after going through the mill of radiation, chemo and surgery!
Start Your Annual Imaging!
Thermography is the earliest detection technology of cancer available – revealing vascular changes in breast tissue 5-10 years before any lump or structure develops.
Dense breasts? Forced disclosure – why we need this law!
With changes in the law being introduce across North America, forcing family doctors and mammographers to inform their patients about the density of their breasts, we ask ourselves if we need this law, and if so, why?
