Last Wednesday Cichealth put on the Breast Cancer Breast Health event.
It was a good turn out and the feedback has been lovely. The best of which i read today from someone who attended. In it she said how much she had enjoyed it - which was kind of her, but the best bit was that she has told so many people about it.
Music to our ears at cichealth, as that is just what he hope for. Those that come help in the disseminating of information and we all become part of a big health web that spreads good solid information, straight from source and helps empower all those that hear it, if they want to hear it.
The evening began with a Meditherm representative in the UK . Meditherm use thermography to look at temperature changes in the body that can indicate inflammation.
The meditherm camera was demonstrated and one soon realises that not only is this a far safer way of looking at breast tissue as it does not use radiation or squash delicate breast tissue between metal plates etc. It is a picture taken of the whole chest/breast area, so in fact, a far more thorough look at a bigger area. Breast problems could be developing in the axillary area or just under the breast, that would not be seen by a mammogram.
Although Meditherm are keen to stress that this is not a replacement for mammography, which is obviously the politically correct thing for them to say - i suspect that all us women would disagree and having seen just how thorough it is in detecting changes early on and that it was far less barbaric than a mammography, it is surprising the NHS haven't adopted this, but then again if they have ploughed money into one system, they have to believe that to be the best or it is costly to recognise something could be better.
With the Meditherm approach, the results are given to you in about an hour - that is something the NHS couldn't do.
Yes mammography is 'free' but if it is not the best system, should we put up with it just because it is free. Ultrasound would be better and not exposing breast tissue to harmful radiation.
Our second speaker, David Stevens, has recently written a book on how to maintain and gain healthy breast tissue and what to do if you discover it isn't healthy.
The techniques are very straight forward, deep breathing, alkaline diet, hot and cold hydrotherapy.
You might think that it seems too simplistic - but we didn't develop a breast problem through lack of chemo, so addressing the PH balance to becoming more alkaline, oxygenating the blood and getting the oxygen rich blood to the cancer site with the use of hydrotherapy are simple but clearly effective techniques. See website for video testimonials.
It requires active participation in changing the body, but then they are our bodies and we need to be active in fixing them and keeping them well.
Our third speaker was from Igennus, a nutrient company that specialises in supplements to help reduce inflammatory conditions in the body, of which cancer is one and can develop from.
So all in all, we were given a good 'tour' from preventative to diagnostic and active participatory health gaining techniques to help us all retain or gain back, healthy breast tissue.
We would like to thank our speakers very much.
