It has been a long time since I have posted on this board though I read this and Raging Bull daily. I must say that D or what ever his name is presents some compelling information though it is true it is very false. Let me explain they way I understand it. In the 80's HMSC developed thermal imaging that unfortunately was far ahead of it's time. The problem was the medical community did not know what to do with the information. The thermal scan detected very small lesions in women?s breasts. Too small for palpation and too small to be confirmed by mammography or found for needle biopsy. Therefore the technology was deemed quackery and all funding was stopped. Unfortunately the medical community had no idea that what they were seeing. From what I understand many of these women in fact I have heard numbers as high as 100% (no I don't have any articles to support this number) developed breast cancer in the later years. And I am sure that by the time some of these women had palpable lesions it was to late. The cancer had spread. Unfortunately the company did go out of business, not because the technology didn't work, but because we were to stupid to understand what to do with the data. I think know there is a higher level of understanding and thankfully when these tiny lesions are found they can be scanned very frequently (at no pain to the patient) to follow their course of growth and then at the very earliest the appropriate intervention can be undertaken. Though D is correct in his hard cold facts his presentation and interpretation is as backwards and antiquated as the medical community and the AMA were in the 80's and early 90's. That is one of the reasons I have never joined the AMA. I must add that the hospital that I work at is very excited about the prospects of this technology. Not only has many of the Radiologist invested in it also has the OB-GYN and Surgical Department along with many ER Doctors and nurses. Our Breast Cancer Center is awaiting it's approval and from what I understand they get calls every week from women asking if they have the new thermal scanning machine that the women in their community are talking about.
