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.

ONIONS FOR COLLECTING THE FLU VIRUS?

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.  Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died..

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy.  When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).  The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and placed it under the microscope.  She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion.  It obviously absorbed the virus, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ.  She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers.  The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop.  To her surprise, none of her staff got sick.  It must work..  (And no, she is not in the onion business.)

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home.  If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere.  Try it and see what happens.  We did it last year and we never got the flu.

If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better.  If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case..

Whatever, what have you to lose?  Just a few bucks on onions!

AWAKENED REIKI YOGA BY PHONE!
 
In an idealistic world, we would be able to go anywhere, do anything and be on time for it all..however, this is not always achievable (although anything is possible). For your convenience and time, Awakened Reiki Yoga is now introducing teleconference times to clients that have time constraints, that are traveling, that are shut in, or feel more comfortable opening up on the telephone.

Here is how it works: To schedule a phone session, register online with Awakened Connections on our website. In the comment field, you will place whether you would like a counseling session or a reading via phone including the date and time. You will then go to awakened Market place and pay for your session via pay pal. You will receive a confirmation of your appointment time, via phone or email your time and we will be set! A good rule of thumb would be to put more than one choice for an appointment time, in the event your ideal slot is filled.

Sessions are one hour only. For 90 minute sessions, please come in to the office for an appointment. Our cancellation policy is still the same, and we hope to accommodate you in any way that we can. The schedule is below. Appointments may be scheduled until the final time listed (e.g. Tuesday 10:30PM would be the final appointment scheduled).

Schedule:

Tuesdays: 5:30PM-7:30PM, 8:30PM-10:30PM

Wednesdays - 6:00PM-8:00PM, 9:00PM -11:00PM

Fridays - 6:00PM-9:00PM

Sundays - 12:30PM -6:00PM

      MEDICARE PAYS FOR CHELATION IN-OFFICE IV'S

         at FULL CIRCLE MEDICAL CENTER off Cloud Springs Rd. exit, in N. Georgia

We have recently become aware of, and accordingly engaged, a billing service that has been working very closely with Medicare, and, has figured out how to legally, ethically, and non-fraudulently bill and be reimbursed for in-office IV therapies. {Chelation, Vitamin C, Hydrogen Peroxide, and others...}  As Medicare goes, so do the other little duckies in the pond: BC/BS, Cigna, United, etc.... This change has worked for the past 4-5 years.

Of interest: Medicare has compared the group of folks doing in-office IV therapies with those who do not do the same therapies and they have noted that if they are spending "X" for the patients doing in-office IV's, they are spending "10X" for those who DON’T do the in office IV therapies. {They are beginning to like this.}

All of our modern day bones have 10 to 100 times the levels of Lead that our pre-industrial revolution ancestors' bones had.  There is no such thing as: "A safe level of Lead."  Any amount of Lead in the body has toxic effects. [ Cardiovascular, nervous system / mental / emotional, cancer risks ]

Mercury toxicity is as common and is a serious threat to health. The US coal fired plants put a ton of Mercury in the air each year.  The SEC states get an extra ton of Mercury each year from southerly winds originating over, and carrying Mercury emissions from, the agricultural and industrial businesses in Africa and South America.

New Research Offers Hope for
FIBROMYALGIA


New research may represent a breakthrough for fibromyalgia patients," says Dr. Thomas Cable, CHEO member and director of the Optimal Health Institute. "This research suggests that many patients with fibromyalgia may actually have a treatable form of a neuroendocrine disorder involving the hypothalamus and pituitary gland," Cable says. "These brain changes may cause the typical symptoms of chronic fatigue, poor quality sleep, painful muscles and depressed mood. For many, there is now some hope of actually getting better." 

For more information call Optimal Health Institute at 423-778-9470. The Institute is located in downtown Chattanooga at the Lifestyle Center, 325 Market Street, Suite 202.

Knoxville Healer Healed Tami's Mom's Broken Bone

I wanted to share this incredible story of a wonderful lady I met while working on CHEO Knoxville Print Directory making phone calls. Rev. Lois Slater in Knoxville is a healer. She's 82, has been healing since she was 3 years old (natural healer). She tells everyone to buy the Therapuetic Touch books - that they can heal also!

When I called Lois to share CHEO information, she shared that she thinks healing should not be about money, and she heals broken bones in 5 minutes. When we finished talking the directory, Lois asked me if I she could heal something on me? I thought about my knees (slightly sore), then thought of my mom (osteoporosis and painfully broken bone in pelvis, hadn't left the house for two weeks, on huge pain meds). I was at mom's house on her cell, so handed the phone to my mom.

Mom talked to Lois for about 5 minutes, then was interrupted. This was at 6 pm. After the phone call, Mom couldn't tell anything. Several hours later, she went to bed. The next afternoon mom called me. She sounded great. She'd been out shopping for two hours. Woke up with NO PAIN. Hadn't taken pain meds. Felt great. And she's been great ever since. She says, if this had happened to someone else, she probably wouldn't believe it.

Since then she's helped my friend's Jay's cholesterol / triglycerides; his friend's acid reflux, and more!  Lois loves to heal people. She says it's fun!  Just thought you might like to call her :-) 865-453-8556.

    Light and Love, Tami Freedman
