It's as well to remember that conventional medicine sometimes works, and that alternative medicine sometimes fails. In radiotherapy there is some controversy about whether taking antioxidants will reduce the cancer-killing effects of the radiation. In your case it seems to have worked extremely well!

It's hard to balance harm against benefit in screening tests like this. That's why I think it's a shame that thermography isn't in wider use. I agree that thermography sounds like a vastly better program. Perhaps it is because all these hospitals have lots of mammogram machines in use and don't want to lose their investment by just tossing them out??? I also agree that taking antioxidants should be beneficial for the duration of radiation treatments taken for cancer, too, as well as before and after. I had read that wheat grass juice is a powerful protection against radiation sickness, so I drank quantities of it during my radiation treatments (7 weeks). In fact, though the local juice bar sells it for a buck a shot, I grew flats of the grass myself, cut it, squeezed it, and mixed ithe juice with Snappy Tom tomato juice to cover the strong taste, and drank it fresh several times a day during my radiation treatments, and well beyond, because it gave me great energy. I never had a single side effect of radiation, either -- went and took my treatments after working all day, suffered no burns nor fatigue nor nausea. I don't know if it was because of the wheat grass and broccoli I consumed in great amounts, or because my treatments were mild, but I am sure the greens didn't hurt!! I took the treatments with some trepidation because of all I had heard about X rays causing more cancer, too -- so far, so good, 7 and 1/2 years later!
