Why doesn&#8217;t my doctor know about it?&#8221; you&#8217;ve probably heard my answer, &#8220;Follow the money.&#8221; Not to say that your doctor doesn&#8217;t mean well, or that the mammography industry didn&#8217;t develop out of the best of intentions. But concerns\u00a0<em>are<\/em> being published in mainstream media that mammograms don&#8217;t do all they should, and in fact, contribute more to the huge, money-making industry of screening for, diagnosing, and treating breast cancer than to catching it &#8211; early or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Read these articles, and then consider the benefits thermography provides: by showing breast cancer&#8217;s earliest signs, you can take preventive action without disturbing abnormal cells that may not develop into cancer if left alone, and you can avoid the negative consequences of overdiagnosis &#8211; messing with something that is best left untouched for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>You should also read Dr. Mercola&#8217;s article discussing Handel Reynold&#8217;s book in more depth:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2012\/08\/15\/politics-behind-mammography.aspx\">In Mammogram Debate, Politics Trounces Science<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSaving women\u2019s lives through early breast cancer detection\u201d Handel Reynolds, a breast radiologist at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, is the author of a soon-to-be-published book, The Big Squeeze: A Social and Political History of the Controversial Mammogram.
