indication of any abnormalities allowing for further testing, diagnosis and treatment. Prevention also applies to finding problems early on in order to prevent the need for more invasive treatments which can be avoided with early detection. Thermography fills that purpose.

Is It Covered By Insurance?

This is almost always the first question. Thermography is not currently covered by insurance. Legislation was introduced this year in Connecticut to mandate that insurance companies cover this testing. As with many first attempts at legislative changes, it did not make it all the way through the process although there is significant support from the representatives. Thermography is no more expensive than a mammogram and may detect abnormalities in breast tissue before mammograms and ultrasounds. The insurance companies could consider covering this without legislation, and should, as the early detection of abnormal cells means a less aggressive treatment plan, which can save the insurance companies millions by averting the need for cancer care treatments, not to mention less suffering and better outcome for the patient. I’m sure the legislation will be sent through again and again until it becomes law. But ladies, please don’t wait for legislation. It took medicine 40 years to decide that penicillin was a good idea. This technology that can help us discover early-on if we have an issue that needs to be addressed is available and affordable now.

Don’t Just Take My Word For It:

Huffinton post Oct 2010 “The Best Breast Test: The Promise of Thermography”, Christiane Northrup, MD.

Every year when Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) comes around I am saddened and surprised that thermography hasn’t become more popular. Part of this is my mindset. I’d rather focus on breast health and ways to prevent breast cancer at the cellular level than put the emphasis on testing and retesting until you finally do find something to poke, prod, cut out or radiate. That’s why I call October Breast Health Awareness Month, not Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I understand that mammography has been the gold standard for years. Doctors are the most familiar with this test, and many believe that a mammogram is the best test for detecting breast cancer early. But it’s not. Studies show that a thermogram identifies precancerous or cancerous cells earlier, and produces unambiguous results, which cuts down on additional testing – and it doesn’t hurt the body. Isn’t this what women really want?
