Dangers of mammograms + safer, more effective alternatives

Now that it's breast cancer awareness month, my feed is blowing up with mammogram reminders. Here's why I'm gonna do a hard pass on that and go for a thermogram instead.


❌ Mammograms emit LOTS of radiation.... which causes cancer.


❌ Mammograms are known to produce "false positives"... causing you to have additional and unnecessary mammograms & biopsies.


❌ Mammograms don't detect lumps until they're about 5-8 years old.


❌ Mammograms are uncomfortable and even painful for some and can cause traumatic breast injury.


❌ Studies have shown mammograms to be as effective as a self breast exam.


✔ Thermograms don't emit radiation.


✔ Thermograms provide early detection and are much more accurate.


✔ Thermograms don't have uncomfortable compression like mammograms.


Recap: Thermograms are more effective, comfortable and don't emit harmful radiation. And there are local places that offer this. 💪


Thanks for the reminder Dr. Veronique Desaulniers!
