Thermal imaging and our new discoveries at TIFM
In the ten years that we have been performing thermal imaging at the Texas Institute of Functional Medicines, we would like you to know the incredible things we are seeing with our state of the art machine (only 2 in Texas):
Lymphatic congestion in the breasts, which in combination with mercury and estrogen imbalances, tremendously escalates the chances of breast cancer. We have developed, as a result of this, a total program for breast lymphatic drainage and with our state of the art program of mercury detox and hormone balancing, your chances of any breast disorders will greatly diminish. Breast congestion, is in most cases associated with dental disorders, such as gum disease and cavitations (infection in the jaw bone) which can readily be seen on the thermal imaging, as well as the lymphatic vessels leading from the jaw to the breasts. We feel this test is so important that we provide it, at no charge, to all new patients, both men and women.
Cardiovascular disorders can be seen much earlier than any other study as evidenced by hypercoagulation, which makes the blood too thick to circulate to the furthest parts of the body, leading to lack of oxygen, nutrients and waste build-up. Follow-up tests are performed to look at such factors, such as Homocysteine, Highly Sensitive CReactive Protein and Fibrinogen, which are the leading markers used by the American Heart Assc'n. Over 75% of our patients show a disorder that we can correct way in advance of any serious disorder, if caught early enough.
Dental health disorders such as gum disease, TMJ and cavitations always show up and we feel that bad dental health is the most important underlying disorder in today's health. All of the disorders are correctable if caught early enough.
The most alarming disorder we see is the ever-increasing under-functioning thyroid as a result of inflammation. This is the only diagnostic test that can uncover this disorder that we find so prevalent in post-menopausal patients, which, along with hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance leads to tremendous weight gain. Our thyroid lab testing uncovers an under functioning thyroid more accurately than other labs and as a result our patients are benefiting from even small doses of thyroid supplements and are getting more energy, sleeping better and losing weight.
Gary's recommendations:
- Get plenty of sun!!! Yes, even sunbathing but do not burn and do not use sunscreens!!! This promotes your own Vit D protection which is being found to be critical in preventing breast disorders. If you don't have time then take our oral Vit D drops (Forte) 5 drops every AM
|
- Fish oil is very important in breast disease prevention. TIFM can recommend the best, safest pharmaceutical-grade fish oil on the market. Not all fish oils are created equal, so make sure you get the best! Ask today!
|
- At least do a monthly breast exam as it is often found to be more accurate than a mammogram.
|
- Dental Health- This is a must!!! As we see many or most breast disorders originating with infection or inflammation in the mouth. The new digital X-rays are very low in radiation and I consider very safe in relation to knowing what is going on in your mouth especially if you have had:
- Dry sockets from wisdom teeth extractions even if years ago
- Root canals-always go bad and you can't feel it as no nerve but we can SMELL it. So don't be offended if someone tells you your breath stinks and even consider saying thanks! You may have saved my life!!
- Implants are usually very good dental procedures but can go bad
- You have pockets where that last chicken dinner always sticks as this can cause gum infections.
- Brush and FLOSS often!! I know it is easy to forget but I have found a neat little device that is easy to use.
|
- Exercise!! Move!! Any exercise that involves up and down movement will help with lymph flow in the breast. The best or cleanest breasts I've seen were an 85 year old lady who was a tap dancer!!! It takes up and down movement to keep lymph from blocking up in the lymph glands in the breasts. Horseback riding, walking with arms swinging, dancing, boxing, and more. If you find you don't have the energy to at least do this 15 min a day then you need to have your hormones tested and in particular, thyroid and adrenal.
|
- If you find any congestion please use an oil we have found to aid in lymphatic drainage called Poke Root Oil (only in Texas!!)
|
- Hormones!! This is the most important health function you can do for yourself. Balance and use only natural hormones. This is our specialty!! If you have a family history of breast cancer, consider getting special gene disorder labs performed. Get at your regular physician's office so insurance will pay but we offer also.
