Re: thermography & other diagnostic methods (was Risks vs. Value of Mammograms)

[Guest guest]

Thermography can often detect cancer over 5-10 years before mammogram but has

high false negative rate for DCIS and significant false negative rate for

cancerous tumors (even large ones). Can be used to monitor treatment progress

(DrRind.com). My conclusion is that they're well worth getting, and I would also

use other dianostic methods (e.g., ultrasound/sonagram, but NOT mammograms.

" CRT thermography...is very useful in monitoring autonomic dysfunction along a

dermatome--a phenomenon often noted in association with an eventual finding of a

primary tumor, perhaps years later. What it means is that serious attention to

the area is warranted " Gammill, 10/22/06

" biochemical cancer profile done on a small vile of blood [can be done by mail],

which they claim can monitor the progress of cancer therapy and possibly

foretell the development of malignancies more than two years prior to

diagnosis " ; Schandl estimates that test has 10% false negative rate (2007).

Schandl's tests (above) are enormously better than Navarro's tests.

Meridian testing--3 reflexologists have told me that in their experience it's

had a very low rate of false negative-specifically, that they don't recall any

women w/breast cancer who didn't have tenderness on the breast meridian in their

foot. However, but many women w/o breast cancer also have that identical

soreness (Reflexology doesn't distinguish between cancer and other diseases.)
