Since it's cancer prevention month, let's talk about this awful
disease. Usually, people go to see a doctor because they’re
experiencing some symptom that they want to treat. According to
Tammy Kohlschmidt, a certified clinical thermographer, that’s
entirely the wrong approach. As she explained to WellBe,
thermography offers a way to catch dysfunction before it becomes
symptomatic, helping people to prevent rather than treat disease —
which is key to maintaining your health.
Thermography, also known as digital infrared thermal imaging, is a
screening method that uses camera images to measure your body
temperature and blood flow, looking for patterns and variations
that can screen for dysfunction and precursors to
disease.
Because of the way the screening works, it’s also able to detect
abnormalities and dysfunction before other tests. Kohlschmidt
explains that thermography can pick up cancer cells when they’re
about the size of a grain of rice, or around two years old, whereas
a mammogram won’t pick it up for eight years.
Listen to the episode to learn more about how thermography helps
to detect what is really going in your body, how it differs from
mammograms and ultrasounds, where to find a clinical thermographer,
what to expect at your appointment and why this test isn't standard
in conventional medicine.
