Thanks for this very valuable article. IMO the reason the medical community doesn't want to accept the whole body scan which could help in early diagnosis is because of the built in antiquated system of looking at symptoms and disease after they occur.

Also, in the article it talked about exposure to radiation. For patients, doctors prescribe scans and x-rays on a regular basis based upon symptoms seeking the problem. Wouldn't it be best to prescribe a periodic whole body scan and stop the insane x-raying of the parts.

There is no doubt that -----"The whole is equal to the sum of the parts and is greater than anyone of them."

I think of how a whole body scan could have prevented my friend's long laborious seige with a well known doctor who put my friend through numerous painful procedures examing the stomach and gastro system---rather than getting down to the crushed vertebrate in the spine---.

Are we still in the dark ages. I think so.
