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...

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.
