“The future of preventive medicine is very bright and I believe thermography is the missing piece of the puzzle.” Cancer begins on the fateful day the DNA of a single cell becomes so damaged that it cannot die and creates another cell that cannot die, until finally, after 8, 10 or 15 years, a small lump appears. Years earlier, in the earliest microscopic stages, this small cluster of cells and its blood supply create a silent trail of inflammation.
Heart disease begins with tiny, painless, microscopic tears in major arteries, which create a silent glow of inflammation around the affected arteries. Decades later, the undetected damage manifests as an unsuspected heart attack or stroke, which is often fatal.
Type II Diabetes begins when a lifetime of excess sugar slowly depletes the pancreas. In the earliest stages, an invisible, progressive inflammation develops in the arms and legs as the sugar quietly damages fine nerve endings. Most people have diabetes for at least 10 years before developing the first symptom.
What do these major diseases have in common? They all take many years to develop and become destructive, silent all the while, and they all start with a common condition: Inflammation. It is no coincidence anyone with any of these diseases are at high risk of developing the other two. Detection of inflammation is the answer to preventing these and many other diseases and we have the ability to do just that with a technology that was approved by the FDA more than 30 years ago. The time has come to use it. For many healthcare experts, that bright vision of the future is more than just a possibility…the future is now.
Lakeland’s own Carol Chandler, a staunch advocate for preventive health issues and owner of the Natural Medicine Center, firmly believes in the reality of that bright vision. She believes it, because she sees the possibilities every day. “New research and innovative technology is making prevention a medical reality. I believe we must move forward with new ideas and perspectives if we want to change the future of medicine and make the most deadly diseases a thing of the past. In fact, I firmly believe that the existing technology of Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging, more than any other single technology has the greatest potential to save lives, starting right now.” Medical Thermal Imaging detects invisible infrared patterns on the skin to reveal many hidden illness. Carol Chandler is a woman passionate about women’s health issues. After a life-changing healing with Traditional Chinese Medicine, Carol was inspired to make a mid-life career change, and returned to school to study the ancient healing discipline, ultimately beginning her medical practice in 1995. Today she spreads the word about the time tested benefits of holistic healthcare, as well as preventative screening through thermal imaging. “More and more people are realizing the futility of the “reactive” mind-set of traditional western physicians who treat the body only after it has become sick, with medications that only treat the symptoms of advancing, underlying conditions. I learned through Chinese Medicine that by focusing on prevention, many patients need never be sick at all.” The technology that Carol so adamantly believes can save lives is called Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging or Thermography.
