While modern medicine stresses the importance of routine mammogram scans for women to monitor potential breast cancer risks, there are other ways to check for signs that do not involve exposure to radiation. Dr. Joseph Mercola’s newsletter Why Mammography is NOT an Effective Breast Cancer Screen reveals that there are superior technologies that can help women detect symptoms of breast cancer much earlier.

Breast cancer is one of the most prominent cancer killers among women, ranking second only to lung cancer. Using Duke Medical School graduate Dr. Len Saputo’s Beyond Mammography, Mercola shows readers that there are ways to reduce the number of fatalities linked to breast cancer by exploring alternative technologies. However, many patients believe that mammograms are the key to breast cancer diagnosis.

Not so, according to the newsletter, which includes two strong reasons against mammography. First, there is a large percentage of false diagnoses from mammograms, which result in unnecessary radiation treatment and chemotherapy. The second reason in the case against mammography comes from Dr. John Gofman’s Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis. Dr. Gofman writes that the radiation exposure from annual mammograms poses significant risk to actually developing cancer. Think about it: developing cancer from attempting to prevent cancer. There must be a better method.

As it turns out, there seems to be a much better technique of monitoring signs of breast cancer. Both Dr. Mercola and Dr. Saputo discuss the strengths of thermographic breast screening, a safer practice that uses no ionized radiation. Even better, thermographic screening can show signs of cancer up to 10 years in advance.

Explore the information further here, and be sure to ask your doctor about thermographic breast screenings if you currently rely on mammograms for annual checkups.

We are all at the mercy of our own stomachs. From occasional discomfort to consistent pains that stem from our digestive systems, millions of people rely on prescription and over-the-counter antacids for relief from stomach issues. While many of us believe that these antacids are the key to managing our stomachs, Dr. Jonathan Wright’s new book, Your Stomach, provides a look into the highly profitable business of producing and selling antacids and questions whether or not these drugs are actually helping us.

Too much of anything can be harmful, so managing the antacids in our stomachs is a powerful tool for good health, but Dr. Wright’s research reveals that too little acid can produce equally negative effects. From acid reflux to indigestion and belching, Wright suggests that antacids may actually be the reason for your stomach ailments. Also, undeniable is the medical evidence that daily use of antacids will produce anemia as well and prohibit your body from absorbing any minerals.  Wright is a trusted voice in the medical world; with an undergraduate degree from Harvard and a medical degree from the University of Michigan, he has authored or co-authored 11 books and writes Nutrition and Healing, a monthly newsletter that discusses nutritional medicine and its benefits.

If Dr. Wright’s suspicions about antacids are true, why is there so little information available about their disadvantages? The answer is simple: drug companies rake in enormous profits from this sector of their business. Prescription antacids alone yield over $20 billion in sales. Before you take another prescription for antacids to the pharmacy, educate yourself with Dr. Wright’s expertise. It may mark the path toward a healthy and happy stomach.

Your Stomach is available from Praktikos Books.

It should also be mentioned that many hundreds or Transformational Health clients have reported no more acid reflux after implementing a detoxification protocol with the addition of probiotics daily.
