There’s nothing funny about toxins but they’re definitely scary and they are out to get you. And no, this isn’t a scene from a ‘50s horror movie. Truth is we hear more and more every day about toxins in our environment. They come in all forms and come at us in many ways. Recent headlines bear this out: Chinese drywall, BPA in water bottles, chemicals released by microwaving plastics, chemicals in cosmetics and toxic gas from dry cleaning. While our west coast is not a place where you see smokestacks and urban smog, those brilliant green and weed-free lawns we favor so much can actually be putting your health in serious jeopardy.

We have had a lot of calls from patients concerned about the safety of mammograms for routine screening. We are concerned as well and have been recommending thermograms for early detection of breast cancer and routine follow-ups. We wanted to address some questions regarding this technology. We hope this helps you.
