This shows you how "over the moon" medical advice is. The garbage we get from the supplement con men is just a little worse than the many-sided advice we get from Doctors. I had a tumor on a cyst on my kidney. There was NO WAY for the Doctor to know going in if it was malignant. I am sure that one day someone will come up with a test that will tell us, but it's not around yet. Mine was, so I not only got the tumor and cyst cut out, they took about 1/3rd of my kidney. If I had gone with the "don't do anything yet" advice, I would have had it removed when I had symptoms that it was affecting my kidney function. Then I would have lost all of my kidney, and it could have metastasized. No Thanks. I am cynical enough to suspect that a lot of the Doctors who object to this scanning do so because of all the cheap scan centers that have sprung up. Takes bread out of their mouths, and some object to this.
