    Inspirational story: While demonstrating a session... I found that Kidney meridian was out of harmony. When I told her, she said she wasn’t going to mention it, but she had recently been found to have nodules on her kidney and was to have a biopsy the next week. We only had one session, but I unblocked the energy flow in Kidney meridian and balanced her other energies, and when she went back for the biopsy, the new diagnostic test showed no evidence of nodules. She needed no further treatment.

Thermography screening -

A complement to your mammogram

June Carver Drennon discusses results with patient Mary Ann Collins. June is co-founder of Thermography Limited, which is part of her company, Stillpoint Health Associates in Chattanooga.

By Susan Watson

Migun TN, located at 11533 Kingston Pike, is all about health and wellness. It’s a place to shop for all things rejuvenating from skin care products, teas and juices to healing mats for your office chair and relaxation sound CDs. They’re also a free demon­stration center for Migun far infrared thermal acupressure massage beds. Teresa Lamb owns and operates Migun TN and, through its sister company, In Synergy Events, Teresa is able to offer a variety of community outreach events, classes and educational programs that promote and coordinate health and wellness within our community.

One service that Teresa is particularly proud to offer is thermography screenings which promote breast health and breast cancer awareness. Thermography is a noninvasive screening for cancer that does not involve radiation or compression of the breast. It’s a photograph of the heat activity that is going on in your body. The principle is that, if a cancer is going to be supported, it will require blood vessels going to that spot in order for the cancer to grow. The “vascular activity” of these vessels creates heat which can be seen via thermography.

Thermography can generally detect warning signs much earlier than even a small tumor can be picked up by mammography. Thermography shows physiological change going on, often preparing a site for the cancer. The key is locating thermal change, while mammograms measure changes in the structures of the body. Thermography is especially well suited for younger women, beginning with a baseline screening at age 20. Thermography is not a replace­ment for mammograms or any other form of breast im­aging. The earliest detection of cancer is realized when a multiple testing approach to screening is taken.

Screenings at Migun are in collaboration with June Carver Drennon, the founder of Stillpoint Health Associ­ates in Chattanooga. She is here in Knoxville providing thermography about once a month, usually on the third Thursday. While she specializes in breast cancer detection, she reports that the procedure can also pinpoint other physical complications such as dental, cardiovascular and thyroid issues. Thermograms can be taken of the whole body or just the area being investigated. Once thermograms are completed, the films are always sent to a physician to be interpreted.

On my recent visit to Migun TN, I was pleased to meet with Drennon and two of her patients. Mary Ann and Douglas Collins were both there for cancer screenings. They learned about thermography screenings through their involvement with the Complementary Health Education Organization (CHEO) of Knoxville, a nonprofit that supports complementary and natural health care practices. Douglas is retired from the Ford Motor Company and Mary Ann, who is the new president of CHEO, is the author of a health-oriented cookbook, “Deliciously Wicked Yet Guilt-Free.” The Collinses are glad to have Migun TN as a “headquarters” for so many of the local activities of CHEO.

For detailed information about thermography screenings or to schedule an appointment at Migun, call Teresa Lamb at 755-0778. You can also visit June Carver Drennon’s Web site at www.thermographylimited.com.
