Cancer was not a health issue 100 years ago and has gradually become a significant risk.  I find it hard to believe that their is more unresolved conflict  now than in the past.  But their has been unquestionably more chemicals, processed foods, and GMO's in our lives during the past 100 years.

Anyone who cares at all about any of the reproductive cancers that are rampant these days, should read the works of Dr. John Lee, M.D., whether they are a patient or pracitioner or both.  These readily available works include the best explanaitons I have ever read or heard, as well as the best protocols for recovering to good health.  In fact, I thik these approaches are so effective that I bet my own life on them.  When I was diagnosed nearly 3 years ago with prostate cancer at a little over 54 years of age, I followed Dr. Lee's protocols rather than the conventional route that the good folks at Kaiser were pushing very hard.  A few months later I was "miraculously" free of disease.  My closed-minded, ignorant urologist was amazed, but not enough to even read Dr. Lee's work, even though I bought him his very own copy.  Talk about brain-washed by the "system"!  Folks, as long as big pharma controls the "standards of care", and even a good part of the curriculum of required continuing education for health care practitioners, we cannot trust the medical establishment to be the guardians of our health.  That is why we must all become our own experts about our own health, and just use physicians when we must as our servents and the mostly dumb technicians they often turn out to be.  We also need to work to overturn the legal and economic forces that are certain to increasingly seek to disempower us when it comes to our own health.  

Here's a pretty good website for getting started with familiarizing yourself with Dr. Lee's highly effective work.

I have helped lots and lots of women with breast and other reproductive cancers towards recovering their health by getting them going on this learning.  I wish I could get all doctors who have anything to do with this to at least look at this body of knowledge.

Thermography will detect ANY cancer many years before the expensive and dangerous scans. You simply stand in front of a machine that detects any abnormal heat in the body and projects the image onto a screen and then prints it out. A trained person can interpret the readings to find trouble spots in the body. My Dr then follows up with nutrition testing and gets your body balanced with herbs and whole food minerals, etc. No drugs. No toxic rays. Later grams will show that the problem has gone away!!

Thermography  rescued me from a misdiagnosis for shingles. The thermogram revealed that it was not shingles at all, and a few cold laser and acupuncture treaments stopped the pain and sores and they never came back.

Another time "mainstream" Doctors said my ankle swelling was caused by heart trouble, and of course, wanted me to be on drugs for life. The thermogram showed an inflamation in the left kidney and a week or so of the good Doctors kidney tonic, featuring Milk Thistle and a few other herbs, cleared it up and the swelling never came back. Needless to say, I am a big fan of Thermography and recommend a full body scan once a year or so done by a knowledgeable holistic Doctor. In my case it was a certified Chinese Medicine Doctor.
