Video Transcript: Mammograms Cause Breast Cancer
Dr. Ben Johnson: I wrote a book for women, The Secret of Health Breast Wisdom because we, as a medical society, are giving women breast cancer with our demanding that they get mammograms. Mammograms cause breast cancer. Period. So mammograms are not healthy for women. Women should not be getting routine mammograms. That’s crystal clear, published in the peer review literature.
And yet today, if a woman went to her gynaecologist or family doc, she would have this shoved down her throat, extreme coercion to go get this mammogram that is causing breast cancer. It’s not saving lives. You have a 4% increased risk of dying if you get mammograms, period.
Ty Bollinger: So the detection technique that we’re using, the primary technique that we use to detect breast cancer, is causing breast cancer.
Dr. Ben Johnson: Absolutely, it’s a terrible test; you know smashing women’s breasts and then irradiating with cancer-causing radiation. And then it’s so insensitive. For women under 50, it’s only like 52% effective, sensitive. That means 52 is pretty close to 50, right?
Ty Bollinger: Yeah.
Dr. Ben Johnson: So about half. That means that half the women that have breast cancer, it would not detect their cancer. That’s a terrible test. And so there are much better tests. And yet this is what’s still being crammed down women’s throats today. Terrible test, causes breast cancer.
Ty Bollinger: And it doesn’t detect, it detects 50% and causes cancer. You said there were better options. What better options are there for detecting breast cancer?
Dr. Ben Johnson: Well there’s two better options. If you’ve got a lump, if you think you’ve got something, ultrasound is great. It’s a test of anatomy. Mammograms are tests of anatomy. Ultrasounds are tests of anatomy. MRIs are tests of anatomy. So if you’ve already got a lump, you want a test of anatomy.
So, that would be like an ultrasound because they can see the lump, they can see its consistency. They can see where there’s calcium in it. And they can look at blood flow because tumors are going to have increased blood flow. So, for instance, a sensitivity of ultrasound is up around 80%. It’s much higher than mammograms. And the sensitivity is higher too.
But if you’re looking about prevention, if you’re talking about screening, there’s really only one device out there and that is thermography. An infrared thermal camera. Nothing touches the lady. Nothing smashes her breasts. There’s no cancer causing radiation.
As we sit here, we are emitting heat in the spectrum called infrared. There’s infrared, visual, and ultraviolet. So this is the infrared spectrum of light, which our eyes don’t see, but which is very detectable by the camera. The military developed this so that they could see people sneaking at them at nighttime and so that they could shoot down missiles and things because they’re producing heat.
Ty Bollinger: Sure, like night vision goggles.
Dr. Ben Johnson: There you go. Night vision goggles are infrared goggles. So we use it as a medical application to detect hotspots in the breast.
Well long before there was a tumor there, there were cancer cells. Probably 8 to 10 years before there was a tumor, there were cancer cells starting to grow. Two cells, four cells, 16 cells, 144 cells, etc. It takes about eight years until you get to about a centimeter in size for a mammogram or an ultrasound to detect it. Well that’s too late. Because that one-centimeter tumor, about five-sixteenths of an inch, less than half an inch, is about one billion cells.
When you get to one billion cells, the cancer has already eroded into the lymphatic system and the venous system and it’s shedding cancer cells all through the body. So that’s why mammograms—one of the many reasons mammograms don’t save lives,
it is NOT early detection. That’s one of the little lies they’ve propagated along. “Early detection saves lives. Get your mammogram today.”
Ty Bollinger: Right.
Dr. Ben Johnson: Well, that statement’s true. Early detection does save lives. It’s just that mammography is not early detection; it’s too late. And then the cancer-causing radiation. So the long and the short is you’re causing much more breast cancer with mammograms than you are detecting.
There IS a cure for Cancer!! They just don’t want to give it out because the doctors are making their living off of their patients!!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. For follow-up testing I asked my oncologist if I could have ultra-sounds instead of mammograms. She said, no, mammogram first, then ultra-sound if there is something suspicious. I hate getting mammograms for the reasons Dr. Johnson states. But, unfortunately, insurance does not cover thermography.
Same here. I would love to not have the mammograms but until I win the lottery, thermography is not an option. 50% chance at catching it is better than a 0% chance in my opinon.
It is truly unfortunate that our healthcare system does not cover “thermography.” I belong to a large HMO in Southern California and thermography is not an option. I am 54 now and have been getting mammos since my early 40’s due to a family history, specifically my mother, who survived breast cancer, and whose tumor was detected in a routine mammo when she was 59. All this is very frightening to me, since i am high risk, but cannot afford the cost of a thermography.
What is thermography.
see my comment as to what thermography is further down the comments
The drug companies are to blame too…they are not in business to cure only to make the symptoms more bearable. If the drug Co can’t synthesis it they shelve the products that can cure….we need to start putting more pressure on drug companies. There are a lot of natural foods out there that can cure different things…just have to research to find them
Paying for your own thermography is not that expensive..($150-200). Even if insurance doesn’t cover it.. Be your own health advocate.. Just because insurance covers it doesn’t mean it’s a good option.. Think about it– if we die… That’s one less they have to insure.it is a business after all.. .. Don’t let society hold you back from taking care of you.. Save up… And get it done right.
thank you, great to know!
Yes, unfortunately you are so right, and not only the cancer suffering people but all ‘chemical treatment requiring illnesses’ sufferers don’t get the proper treatment, it is no goal for most medical doctors to heal, rather to keep their paying customers on their payment roll with half-functional treatments, so most patients get to feel only a bit better but always temporary and seldom complete recovery anymore. Mentality has changed very rapidly, only the interesting diseases get attention, those that can be healed fast and simple, that increase doctors reputage.
You’re correct. I recently had a full body baseline thermography scan performed in Houston for around $600. You can choose to get just torso scanned for $200-300 I believe.
Where are the references to peer reviewed articles?
In a video interview?
Everything Dr. Johnson has written here, I believe. For three years mamography was recommended for me every six months. They said they saw something that was so small, it could not be identified, sent me to a surgeon who repeatedly did a sonogram and said he could not see anything. So I was talked into getting a biopsy done. There they found cancer. I opted to see an Oncologist who prescribed Exemestane. The side effects were so horrible, I asked for something else, and was prescribed Tamofixen which I never took. The thought did not set well with me. After discontinuing the Exemestane, the tumor grew moderately, finally it could be felt, not seen. So, I heard of Shark Cartilage. The Shark Cartilage seems to be effective with shrinking the tumor based on the Tumor Marker test but it is still there. The Oncologist continues to recommend surgery, .
Depending on where you live, thermal imaging is between 75 and 150 dollars…if you cannot afford that, talk with the thermographer….perhaps they will lower the price ?
My doctor found a lump in my breast and wanted me to have a mammogram. I optic for an Ultra Sound instead.
The report suggested a mass of soft tissue as fibroma or other benign soft tissue lesion. At the end of the report
a mammogram was recommended. How can I find out if it is cancerous with out a biopsy?
Blood test?
The ONCOblot test measures protein that’s only expressed in cancer. It not only provides a yes or no whether cancer is present in your body system, it identifies the place of origin of that cancer. So, if you suspect cancer in a particular area of the body, this can provide confirmation of that or reveal an area that hadn’t yet been detected. All of which empowers informed decisions at earlier stages of illness. http://oncoblotlabs.com/ NOTE: I just went to their website so I could provide a link here and it states that the lab is undergoing a sale and testing is limited at this time. They invite those interested to send an email so you can be contacted as soon as possible.
There’s another blood test performed by Maintrac. It is a blood test that detects cells washed out from the tumor into the blood. It counts the number of circulating tumor cells (epithelial cell antigen or HEA-positive cells) in the blood. Taken initially, it provides a basic value, only an increase in cell numbers is relevant for disease progress. It also measures cell fragments. These occur, for example, as part of an immune response and indicate damaged cells. Both become a benchmark for subsequent tests for tracking effectiveness of treatments, including naturopathic ones. Maintrac can also test the properties of the circulating tumor cells. They may be better known for these tests to track effectiveness of chemotherapy but it should not be underestimated as a tool when using treatments other than radiation and chemotherapy. http://www.maintrac.de/diagnostics/faq.php
You may notice this company is in Germany. I have found it surprising (and disappointing) to learn that conventional treatments in North America are not conventional elsewhere in the world. Instead, the approaches used elsewhere provide more appealing options than surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
MRI will identify cancer. How do I know this? My 2022 annual mammogram identified an area of slight distortion. I was put through additional mammograms and ultrasounds which found nothing. Then, a biopsy- cancer.
A month later they did a MRI and finally “saw” it – 1.5 cm and their state of the art testing couldn’t see it in my small breast.
I so wish I had done thermography at that point. I would like to know if it would have been identified by thermography.
MD Anderson insists on annual mammogram and ultrasound before I can have a MRI performed. The MRIs are over 5K each.
If I could swing it, I would just get my own MRI on some frequency.
I had a full body thermography scan recently and plan to continue quarterly for now.
The cancer industry, the pink ribbon groups, regular doctors, dentists, and their assistants (nurses, etc) say that the risk of harm from a mammogram or any medical/dental x-ray is inconsequential. Often they “educate” the worried patients or the public with claims that the radiation exposure from an x-ray is similar to taking a flight in an airplane or sunbathing for a day.
All of it is either a distortion of the facts or is misleadingly false.
Since the 1960s solid research data showed that low dose medical x-rays cause breast cancer, many subsequent studies corroborated it along with sound data that mammograms can cause cancer yet the medical profession still, contrary to scientific facts, claims low dose x-ray radiation exposure poses is harmless, and falsely and deceptively compare it to spending time in the sun or an airplane trip, or some other sneaky wrong comparison (ie, tricks to deceive) — read the well referenced revealing book “The Mammogram Myth” by Rolf Hefti.
The medical profession’s denial that mammograms can cause cancer is just one of many distortions and lies about mammography, cancer, and x-ray radiation the public has been “educated” in for years.
Women and men will ONLY know the real truth about mammograms if they decide to scrutinize the matter BEYOND what the medical profession is “informing” (=hoodwinking) them with.
I went to my ob/gyn for a check up in September. I asked her about the safety of mamos/ultrasounds…she advised that it was a good tool for screening…It did not sit well with me. Left her office with a script for mammo/sono and a bone density scan. I have been screened for the Braca Gene and found that I do not have that….so after being screened yearly since I was 35 years old because my paternal grandmother had breast cancer I have decided to opt out of these tests. I will pay the $250 for the thermography (here in NY it is higher than what others have quoted) and have my baseline. I have dense breast tissue so those mammos were extremely painful. I am soooo relieved to find an alternate. Love this website and all that you all have provided in alternative and preventative measures for dealing with and preventing cancer. I can’t thank you enough!!!!
Hi Andrea I pm also live in New York Long Island do you know where is the place that they do the thermography test if you have address or phone number I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much Sharon.
Andrea, I too asked about Thermography, and the nurse talked negatively re that test, saying it was not a proper tool for dense breasts. She didn’t even have any idea if I had dense breasts or not….I got a little suspicious, but went ahead with the mamo, because it was covered and she said I would have to pay a couple hundred dollars for the Thermography. But after reading more and more comets on these websites, I’m not convinced it was not in my best interest. All I can think, is that it was in hers!!
Hi all, went for my thermography and I have to say it was a very positive experience. The results are ” within normal range” and I received a half hour of consultation with recommendations for keeping me healthy. One of the biggest is daily dry brushing to stimulate and aid in draining the lymphatic system, deep breathing/meditation, drinking lots of water, sweating to remove toxins and very importantly stay away from alcohol or at least only have a drink occasionally. The idea is to remove toxcicity and keep
Your body in an alkaline state.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy by the end of 2015. I survived really well those “treatments” I strongly believe that my body took everything really well because I enjoyed during all treatments safe and well-being researched by Synergy’s products. Antioxidant drinks, green drink and meal substitutes who brought all the good antioxidants and vitamins to my body. Although I was not then acquainted with these fantastic data that now I can get from this website !! I have also improved eating habits and I do not live in fear that the cancer will recur! I am a small business owner and I was able also to perform my job for during the “treatments”. I am grateful to you that you will share this wonderful information. I have annual check-up in January, and told to carry out a mammography examination. I refused and I insisted on ultra study 🙂 Thank for all good information!!!
So true. After I found my lump, I was scheduled for a mammo and ultrasound. I told them I did NOT want the mammo as y breast tissue was so dense. They insisted and even after placing a marker on the large tumor (close to the surface of skin), the mammo showed nothing. The ultrasound did.
Dear ‘no insurance,’ I presently do not have insurance….. the PRESENTLY being the last 25 years. I haven’t won the lottery but I just take care of myself. AND, if I need a medical test – well, I pay for it. I’m fine!!!! I’m 63 and I look like I’m 50. We can let the medical propaganda scare us! Take care!
So true Susan!
I was married to a prominent breast radiologist for 30 years.
He would certainly disagree with the efficacy of using thermograms for detection. He has seen a number of patients who have been mislead by their results and would say that thermograms are not efficient at detecting cancers.
I have dense breasts. Mammograms were not capable of identifying any lumps because of this density. After each mammogram I would then need an ultrasound. I finally asked my doctor to just do the ultrasound and skip the mammogram because I was concerned about the radiation. The mammogram was useless so why do it. She replied that my insurance wouldn’t pay for the ultrasound unless I had the mammogram first. Where is the logic in this? I now no longer get a mammogram nor do I do the ultrasound. It’s been more than six years. I’m healthy. There has never been any breast cancer in my family. I eat healthy (mostly organic) and eat organic ginger root every day which in research studies has been shown to kill cancer cells. The traditional medical field is such a scam.
Where did you go for 250. I paid 375
Denise, that seems steep for breast imaging only. The $375 price point is in the range of a full body thermography
Hello, I’m a thermographer who also did mammograms early in my career. Thermography is non invasive, no radiation, no compression imaging that shows tissue function (mammograms show anatomy) Thermography is excellent at showing new vessel growth (angiogenesis) that precedes a detectable lump. Thermography also shows patterns of inflammation and lymphatic congestion that serve as wake up calls to improve your breast health. That is real prevention, not just detection! You may contact the United Breast Cancer Foundation to see if you qualify for financial help from them. This organization provides help in paying for thermography, typically between $150-225.
Lori this message is for you where are you located
Hi Lori, I live in Virginia (D.C Metro area) where can I find a place that does thermography?
Also, does anyone know of naturopathic MDs specializing in breast cancer in VA, MD or DC area?
Much appreciated. It’s my 2nd time getting cancer and I’m fed-up with conventional methods that do more harm!
Thank you,
Maryam
This is for Lori Peters. I live in Arlington, TX. Do you know where in this area I can find a place that does thermography? Arlington is part of the DFW area. Thanks!
Intelligent comment…you are correct.
I found two places on Long Island, NY – Optimal Wellness, Deer Park and another in Glen Cove. I will be going to the one in Deer Park. Thanks Lori for your follow up on this…great info.
Hello Ty, Blessings to you.
My newspaper wellness column, Toward True Health, was canceled last night because in the answer to a readers’ question, I wrote ‘That radiation mammography causes cancer’.
In this age of information, advertising from the big pink movement, and all the doctors and ancillary staff who promote and make their living in the cancer industry, want to drown out the voice of reality and truth.
Even with the documented research, the powers that be, would not see.
Angimage… my apologies, but your comment on 50% is better than none is a totally wrong way to see it… because, in reality, it’s not actually only detecting cancer about 50% of the time, but it is actually also CAUSING cancer!! Okay, see it this way… it might be causing cancer on some of the population … Would you like to be part of that population that gets cancer due to its radiation?? Unfortunately a lot of health insurance companies won’t cover these safer alternatives… I wonder why??? (Hmmmm, maybe because they actually want us all sickly… they can’t make $$ off of the healthy!)
The United States regulates population “differently” than countries such as China.. everyone needs to think about this. And no…..it’s NOT Trumps doing so leave politics out of this please and just do your research, you will connect the dots.
My doctor has also seen cases where thermography didn’t detect the cancer. Thermography should not be the only tool!
true, no test is 100% accurate all the time. A layered approach of clinical exam, self exam, ultrasound and thermography can get you closer to that 100% with no radiation or pain
I think you make an important point. Thermography is a tool to monitor breast health, not just a way to find disease. Thermography can detect physiologic changes in a cancer while it’s still in the cellular phase-sometimes years before it is detectable mammographically. Thermography can also detect lymphatic congestion and hormonal imbalances as well as monitor dietary changes. It can assess breast cancer risk, which is also something mammography cannot do. It alone couldn’t satisfactorily replace mammography. But, when thermography is combined with other markers, mammography would no longer have a place and the associated risks would no longer be a factor.
But how about if you have dense breasts, is Thermography still a good tool, or back to basic mamogram?
I hope you don’t get in a car accident,since you don’t have insurance.
One option: Onconlot is a non-invasive blood test with very high accuracy that can confirm cancer cells 4-10 years before a tumor develops. That’s conclusive results without all the risks associated with biopsy. And, with that kind of lead time without a tumor, lifestyle changes can reverse the cell growth. You can go to the website to find out more about the test and its cost. The cost is typically out of pocket and may be out of reach for some. For others, a hardship. For many, an investment worth giving up something else we think is a need, but really isn’t. If we can fundraise for treatment, could this be an option to direct some of these funds? And, more importantly, what would happen if we collectively demanded it be covered to replace the archaic equipment and system of mammography? What if some of the billions of dollars people donate for treatment could be made available to those in financial need on a sliding scale to offset the costs? Instead of dismissing a great tool because of cost and accepting the tool that doesn’t work, why don’t we explore how to make the best tools more accessible?
Bravo! You hit the nail on the head
oops. typing error. It should read Oncoblot
You just did! The ultrasound will show you if it’s cancer or not. The same thing happened to me and my insurance,
many years ago, covered the ultrasound test. That showed that the large lump I had was not cancer. You don’t need
a mammogram or a biopsy if the ultrasound showed that it’s just a soft tissue fibroma.
Not doctors. They’re just giving out the treatments Big Pharma has sold to them and the schools that trained them.
You got that right!

“As we sit here, we are omitting heat”
How do we “omit” heat? I can “omit” heat in an analysis or some other kind of document, but I can’t “omit” heat just sitting around.
If you didn’t emit heat you would be dead. You emit heat all the time
How do you eat the ginger root?
Try using large doses of raw garlic. you might not like
the taste or smell but it’s worth a try
Look into other avenues such as bloodroot capsules or Rick Simpson Oil or hemp oil capsules with chaga mushrooms. Actually google chaga mushrooms and learn about them so you buy quality ones that will help. There are so many other things you can do. I don’t think shark cartilage is one of the alternatives for breast cancer, it’s more for joint problems if I recall correctly.
When I turned 35 in 2008, my GP doctor wanted me to do a mammogram for the first time, because I had a mother with breast cancer. She was diagnosed with it at age 47, but I was 12 years younger than her then. I was not too happy about it. I was crying all day, because I had to do the mammogram, because I thought that it was for old people. My mother was not too sympathetic and just told me to grow up. My sister who is a doctor told me that mammograms are not very good at detecting breast cancer in premenopausal less than 50, because quite a few still have their periods and their breast are still very dense. My sister said that mammograms really should be done after menopause. A year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with a fibroadenoma in my left breast. The mammogram did not detect it very well, but the breast ultrasound did. I got nervous, when I got a phone call from my GP doctor about my mammogram, because I was afraid of having breast cancer, because of my family history and I did not want to do conventional therapy. I went to the Breast Health Centre in Ottawa, Canada and I had both a mammogram and ultrasound and it definitely was a benign fibroadenoma. The radiologist said that I had this benign fibroadenoma in prior exams meaning that the last mammogram that I did a year and a half ago was not the first time that this lump showed up. If it was there before, why did I not get a phone call from my GP doctor and be sent to the Breast Health Centre? I actually prefer to do thermography more than a mammogram or ultrasound, but for sure the doctor is probably not going to make me do it?
Where are you located
I am located in Erie, Pennsylvania. I am part of a group with offices all over the country. We are Brasthermography.com If you go there, there is a locations link
Denise, I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Love Michelle’s comment. Thank you. You are absolutely right.
I am wondering what is the recommendation for how often one should get a breast thermograph. Every year? That’s what they recommend for mammogram, which I refuse to get. I am in my mid 50’s. Thank you
usually yearly on thermograms. You can do more often though because there is no harm at all to the body—–certified thermographer
What happens if you can’t afford the therograms? Ultrasound next option?
I know it really makes no sense. Ultrasounds are the only detection tool for dense breasts, yet they force women to have mammograms. It is all about the money. I also eat a plant based organic diet with flax seeds every day as they are good for preventing breast cancer. I’ve been doing Thermography for the past year. Check out Beatcancer.org. They also have info on thermography as well..
Another danger which was not mentioned is the fact that ALL doctors learn in the beginning of their medical training is to NEVER COMPRESS A TUMOR! Mammograms can cause an existing tumor to spread! Do they ever smash other tumors???? No!
I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer that was not detected after years of mammograms. I have been getting mommograms since I was 17 years old. It was detected through ultra sound. I then had a biopsy that spread the cancer to the biopsy site which the medical profession said hardly ever happens. Ultrasound saved my life. If you have any suspicions of any lump request an ultrasound. Also, since I had fibroid cysts I had put off the biopsy for 1 year because I figured it was just a cyst I already had. Do not put off a biopsy because you are afraid of a needle like I did. Because my cancer was slow growing I had a double mastectomy and did not have to endure any radiation or chemo. On another note, if I had not requested to have a double mastectomy it would have not been discovered that I had a different type of cancer in my other breast. The medical profession is instructed to only concentrate on the problem at hand. They only focus on the area you have the problem on. I hope my story helps someone from going through what my family and I have.
How fortunate you are that you did not listen to the Doctors blindly and advocated for yourself.
I started getting mammograms at 40, as recommended, and because my mother had breast cancer. I was repeatedly told that I had “dense breast”, and was often called back in, to have more imaging done. It wasn’t until I was 49 that a radiologist reading my report, suggested that I should have a “core biopsy”, done on two different spots, on my right breast…she was suspecting that it was just calcifications, but wanted to be certain. Low and behold, it was cancer. Given my family history, I decided to have a double mastectomy, and low and behold again – it wasn’t just two spots…I had 54 different small tumors in that breast, and precancerous cells, in the other breast! I should also mention that after the core biopsies, they had me do an MRI, and an ultrasound done – none of which picked up any of those tumors! I’m now 53 and couldn’t be more grateful that I decided to do the double mastectomy, but I do wish that I knew about thermography, before now! This is information that I will share with my sister, who is about to turn 50, and has been told the same things that I was told all those years! Thanks for the info!
Ranay, this is a wonderful addition to the conversation. Because of my dense breasts I have to have a mammo and then ultrasound and they always show a few “calcifications”….now I will go for the thermography to see what those calcifications actually are.
My recent thermography is showing a questionable spot, so I’m balancing my bio-identical hormones to change the results. Stay tuned.
Thank you Marnie for these creative ideas ! Very practical. Let’s expand this conversation !
I am 72 and refuse to cave-in to medical doctors; and submit to mammograms. I did go for a check up one time at a naturopathic college. I asked for women only. Clean bill of health. They used natural testing only. No instruments or drugs. I would rather pay for natural visits, out of my own pocket, then to have the medical people mess with my emotions, and give me more troubles. People think biopsies are harmless. They stir up the cancer!! No manipulation for me.. The doctors are taught lies, and I am not going to believe what they pass on.
Bravo, Jen! I’m with you!
You are an inspiration to seek answers to our questions and doubts. And, identify credible sources and interpret data for ourselves.
Thank God for Dr Johnson!!! I have not had a mammogram for about 20 years – since I was brutalised by a technician who did my last mammogram. The skin on my chest was red for days and my breasts were tingling for weeks!!! I reported what happened to the Health Department and told them I would not be back.. I self examine and if I should be worried about anything I find I ask my Dr for an ultra sound.
I saw a doco on TV many years ago that told viewers that the mammogram only picks up about 3% of lumps.
I couldn’t agree more. People have more intelligence than to believe that. Sadly, this life is more about money-hungry mongrels and money holds more momentum to such individuals than lives. As an ex-nurse and in my family I have witnessed too much suffering at the hands of cancer. When will it end! And why must we just be complacent and put up with such lies. What is happening to all the money raised by charities…..wherever it is, the system has failed.
Hello Ty, Blessings to you.
My newspaper wellness column, Toward True Health, was canceled last night because in the answer to a readers’ question, I wrote ‘That radiation mammography causes cancer’.
In this age of information, advertising from the big pink movement, and all the doctors and ancillary staff who promote and make their living in the cancer industry, want to drown out the voice of reality and truth.

You are absolutely right.
I enjoyed the article very much and enjoyed reading all the many comments. I am a breast cancer survivor for almost 6 years now. I’ve heard about Thermography and would rather get that done than have to have another mammogram. I live in Arlington, TX and would like to know where in this area I could get one. Alington is half way between Dallas and Ft. Worth.
I can testify that the ONCOblot test is one of the most effective tools for detecting any kind of cancer. After years of D & Cs and endometrial biopsies no uterine cancer was detected. The ONCOblot came back positive for uterine cancer which prompted me to get a hysterectomy. My physician wanted me to have one more D & C and biopsy prior to the hysterectomy which would have cost me more money out of pocket than the ONCOblot, not to mention the time off of work and all of the prior costs for testing that was ineffective. I found another physician who performed the hysterectomy and did not enter the ONCOblot into my medical record so that I would not have it on my permanent record.
With the changes in insurance and high deductibles, I now utilize thermography, ONCOblot and more effective and safe testing to be my own advocate for my health.
Among many great points you make, I appreciate you flagging the importance of having several benchmarks to provide a baseline of what changes may be happening in our bodies is particularly important to anyone who advocates for their own health.
Hi Rene not sure if you’ll see my message but I’m wondering how to get someone to do an ONCOblot test for me? I’ve asked my doctor and she will not order it and I’ve contacted naturopathic doctors and they won’t either. I’m in San Diego, Southern California. Does anyone have a contact for me?
The closer to natural, we live, the safer in our health will be.
We suffer the consequences of cause and effect many times, even if it is not our fault or doing.
If a medical doctor gives you some advice that you question.
Don’t go to another medical doctor for a second opinion.
Go to a natural doctor. Be it a chiropractor or naturopath.
The chiropractor that I go to, does a variety of things.
I go to him very little for manipulation.
He does muscle testing (kinesiology) and can answer many of my questions.
One time, long time ago, I asked him, if I had cancer. He checked and said no.
I prefer that to invasive procedures that can do more harm than good.
He also uses essential oils, and all natural substances in my prescriptions.
He was also my physical therapist after an accident.
After I listened to Dr. Johnson’s interview, there were other optional video that showed up on my screen. I watched Dr. Sherri Tenpenny being interviewed. At the end of the 17 minutes, she gave references to different integrative places that do thermography. She said if you put in your zip code to a certain place, that there may be a center in about 25-50 miles from you. Listen to it , to get clearer information than I am giving you.
Do you know where I can listen to Dr. Ten penny’s interview so I can put in my zip code to find out where I can get a thermography? Thanks!

i found in the inthernet that thermography in oncology isnt goodchoice becouse it doesnt discovered tumours which will hide a deeb in breast
it can be only make rather like a something helped to ultrasound or mammography
tumours doesnt increase degree if they are a deep into a breast
Exactly Karen!!! I am going to call my ob/gyn and ask for a script specifically for an ultrasound only, rather that the one that she wrote for the mammo/ultrasound and put a diagnosis of checking on calcifications so that perhaps the insurance company will pay for it as it is being used for a diagnosis confirmation rather than a screening. Then I will go for my thermography, of which I will have to pay out of pocket. It’s just crazy that we even have to play this game…we’re not allowed to advocate for our selves within the traditional medical community…very sad state of affairs.
I’ve had two thermograms done and paid for them myself because I’m worth it! Your right about the cost, not that expensive! They did find a small breast lump with the Thermogram and then my insurance paid for a follow up ultrasound. It does not look like cancer but I’m doing all I can to build my immune system just in case!
Great interview, thank you. Please correct grammar so that I can share the article on Facebook. Skeptics are always looking for any reason to attack literature saying mammograms are a bad diagnostic choice. (S/B “emitting” heat, not “omitting” heat)
I did not find my lump it found me . Let me explain. I had a severe poker like burning and an hour later a lump came up about the size of a quarter. Both subsided within 3-4 days then went like a crater but I did not leave it alone I went to the Dr. She ordered a mammogram and U/S the U/S found the problem but it was the biopsies that actually determined the cancer. I then had surgery and 16 radiation treatments. They say I need to have another mammogram as followup to the radiation but I am so nervous to do this now. Should I press for an U/S? I would even consider thermography and travel to Buffalo and pay for it if it is the better route to go.
To Jill my beautiful sister -in law lost her 7 month battle with breast cancer yesterday at age 64 . She had a mammogram done ! Everything fine !!!!!they say . 5 months later huge lump on her breast fast growing aggressive breast cancer !!!! Fed like miracle grow on a flower that’s what I believe that mammograms do .
I am so sorry about your sister. Will be praying for you and her family.
Do not trust MRI for a cancer diagnosis. I had a previous mastectomy that showed up on an MRI after a suspicious mammo. When I found an abnormality in the other breast 13 years later, the MRI radiologist did not see a cancer. It was there. Eight months later I demanded a biopsy when the lump got worse. By then it had gone into the lymph node. I had also had a sonogram. If you have an MRI, have several radiologists read it. Be sure for mastectomies that you use a breast surgeon. My surgery was a bad one with a failed reconstruction. Three years later I still have problems. The past years were nothing but mistakes leading to further medical problems.
I’m so sorry for your pain and how this must affect your life and the ones that love you. I am getting a Herceptin treatment right now. I refused to talk to the radioologist and I will not take the pill that is hard on our bones. It removes estrogen. My last check up they did 5 mammograms on one breast. I thought I was doing the right thing. Maybe we arethe women that will change things. God bless you. Study the book The Secret.
Why will you spend money on food you shouldn’t eat or clothing you really don’t need but won’t pay for thermal imaging just because it isn’t covered by insurance. Enjoy your breast cancer! I’v done Thermal Imaging for 10 years and it’s the best investment I ever made!

How can I find out where this is done in my area?
Carleen,
Not sure if you found thermal imaging near you but I found one in my town by doing a google search on digital thermal imaging in my city and was able to locate one. Good luck to you.
Welll, Cheryl Chapman. Good for you! So I guess that makes you better than the rest of us. Such a hateful thing to say. Most of us don’t know this about mammograms. Enjoy your breast cancer! Really ? It’s not a case of being cheap. It’s not knowing.
Thank you, Jane. As a medical professional I am absolutely horrified by Cheryl’s glib response of “Enjoy your breast cancer”. I would expect greater professionalism from an RN.

Cheryl,
Exactly!!!! $250 is not a lot of money…break it down to going out to dinner with friends 5 times…aren’t you worth spending that money on yourself???? BTW I still have not received my script for my ultrasound that I requested from my health care practitioner when I specifically said I will not have a mammogram this year. Not even a phone call as to why either. Unbelievable!!!
Andrea, keep calling your Dr. until you get the script for your ultrasound. My Dr agreed to ultrasound after my thermogram(increased inflammation), but I encountered push back from the imaging center about no mammogram on file. They told me that they would fit me right in now for the mammogram. I had to state firmly that “no, I just want the ultrasound”. Then off the techs went to discuss with radiologist, which I get, they are just following orders. Radiologist stated that they wanted the mammo first, I declined again. I finally stated to the techs that “I am also a tech and I just want the radiologist to read a breast ultrasound. The Dr can put in report that I went against protocol and refused mammo.” Well that was when they finally let me have the ultrasound. Dr’s do not like to break from “the standard of care”. Be persistent.
Thanks Lori, will do!!!
When I mention thermography rather than mammograms to my Oncologist Staff on my visits, they just seem to brush it off and give me no useful information.
I didn’t realize it was that cheap. I’ve never tried but I’ve heard that it’s hard to find a doctor that does thermography but I’ll certainly check into that. Thanks Chris!
My reply is a response to Charlie Frizell’s March 3 post.
Thank you for this article, it defines a fear I had after an extremely painful mammo which left me with breast pain for many months. I am currently “insured” under the gov’t. marketplace & will ask please for ultrasound vs mammo next time they insist I am overdue for one. How could mammograms not be cancer causing? Secondly, are deodorants also a potential risk for b cancer because of chemicals, aluminum, etc.? I use very little naturally derived deodorant or bit essential oil instead.
Remember there is self breast exams as well. Also remember diet, exercise and state of mind has a lot to do with cancer as well.
I had a mammogram in April. Several weeks later a spot appeared on my upper breast/ shoulder area. Went to the dermatologist, biopsy came back squamous cell carcinoma. Dermatologist surgically removed more of the area. When I had the mammogram the skin was stretched SO tight! I felt a tingling sensation. Could the machine have been faulty, or mistakes made by the person doing the test? Do I need to see an oncologist?
I’ve never felt so assaulted when I had a second mammogram after the first one that showed a “suspicious lump”. They really hurt me. Ill die before allowing my right breast to get taken now.
We are sorry to hear what you are going through Taunya! We hope you found this video helpful.
typo – omitting should be emitting
I am battling with modern medicine who is forcesing me to have a mamogram before they treat my fibrocystic breast disease…! Texas onocology, literally will not see me because I refused to squish my breast! I had the thermography and have statements from surgical consultants that say a mmogram would not benefit me because of the dense breast tissue! I am not able to talk with theses folks! What can I say to get them to listen to me? I am so frustrated!
I had mammogram 2016. She clamped down so hard on my breast I was screaming for her to release it but she wouldn’t here it is 2019 and I’m still in a lot of pain. It’s getting worse Don’t know what to do
Hi Barbara,
We are so sorry to hear about the horrible experience you went through. The best advice we can give you is to consult with one of the doctors/experts that we interviewed in our Global Quest Series. Here is a link to get their information: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/experts-info-sheet/
I had two mamms in my early 50’s and none since and I’m 80. Don’t want that barberic stuff done to my body. I take grape seed extract for cancer prevention and Iosol iodone for breast tissue health. Too much negatives as I see it.
I might do a thermography but I don’t live in fear.
Love hearing that you don’t live in fear, Joyce!
God bless you!
I was diagnosed 2nd november with invasive ductal cancer grade 3 triple negative. I have had a blocked milk duct for 30 years they been fidling with it wanted to take it out 25 years ago. Now it’s turned into this mammogram no good cause iv just found out there is a large cluster of tumours drying the milk duct , and mammogram never showed it only showed up on MRI I had lying face down with boobs dangling in some contraption. So how many other women being missed xx The mammogram only found the 2 lumps at side of duct and one further up but not the large cluster . Xx
Last time I went to my gynecologist, I asked about thermography. It was poo-pooed as not being effective. Hmmm. I have not gotten a mammogram in a few years, and I refuse to get one.
