In the United States, ultrasound is typically associated with expectant parents’ first beautiful image of their unborn child.  But did you know that ultrasound is actually a terrific alternative to mammography in the early detection of breast cancer?  And ultrasound, not mammography, is the standard of care in Europe.

Today, host KC Craichy presents the findings of an important new study that compared the efficacy of mammography versus ultrasound in breast cancer detection. The results of this study and other important information KC discusses may have you rethinking your bi-annual mammogram.  Consider forwarding this message to the women you love today.

Dear Living Fuel Family,

It’s a bit of an oxymoron to ask “Are you prepared for the Emergency Room?” By definition, an emergency is sudden and unexpected. However, now is the time to educate yourself with information you may unfortunately need as early as this afternoon.

In today’s brief LivingFuelTV HealthAlert, we share a real-life story of a recent ER visit with my 14-year-old son, Austin. Our experience clearly highlights the need for all of us to be prepared for potential quick decisions we may face in the ER. We also present two items that you must know about to protect yourself and those you love from the hazards of medical radiation.

Dear Living Fuel Family,

Imagine for a moment that today is April 26, 1986. You and your family live in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, one mile from the sprawling Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Technicians there perform an operational test that goes severely wrong, shrill alarms pierce the air and a series of thunderous nuclear explosions occur, followed by the subsequent toxic nuclear fallout. The immediate and debilitating effect on your family’s health is incalculable. Even today, 24 years later, in the nation known as Ukraine, the residents of Chernobyl and the surrounding area still face the devastating health effects of this disaster. What you may not know, however, is that the lifetime cumulative effect of various forms of medical radiation could have a similar effect on your family’s health where you live today.

Today, we continue our special series of interviews with Dr. Patrick Purdue, Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DO) and Doctor of Naturopathy (ND). We discuss the little-publicized dangers of medical radiation and share important information that we should all consider as we make important medical decisions for our families. Dr. Purdue and I also present safer alternatives to conventional medical radiation that you need to be aware of. We also tell you what you can do to protect yourself if you have an ionizing radiation test. Take your and your family’s health care into your own hands – educate yourself to make informed and wise medical decisions.

CT Scan Radiation Linked To Cancers, Deaths

Posted on 26th December 2009 by admin in Health Alerts

CT scans deliver far more radiation than has been believed and may contribute to 29,000 new cancers each year, along with 14,500 deaths, suggest two studies in the Archives of Internal Medicine. One study, led by the National Cancer Institute’s Amy Berrington de Gonzalez, used existing exposure data to estimate how many cancers might be caused by CT scans.

Another study in the journal suggests the problem may even be worse. In that study, researchers found that people may be exposed to up to four times as much radiation as estimated by earlier studies. While previous studies relied on dummies equipped with sensors, authors of the new paper studied 1,119 patients at four San Francisco-area hospitals, says author Rebecca-Smith Bindman of the University of California-San Francisco. Based on those higher measurements, a patient could get as much radiation from one CT scan as 74 mammograms or 442 chest X-rays, she says.

Dear Living Fuel Family,

You’re leaning back in the dental chair, biting down on a plastic bit and staring up at a buzzing fluorescent light, the smell of fluoride in the air around you. An efficient dental technician plunks a bulky 25-pound lead flak jacket across your chest (to presumably protect your vital organs), then rotates a wall-mounted x-ray machine to within inches of your brain. She scurries behind a protective wall and calls out to advise nearby staff that the x-ray machine is engaged. Have you ever given much thought to the long term effects that this radiation exposure could do to your health?

Dentists, dentistry and medical diagnostics can be extremely important and in some cases even life-saving. However, there is a dark side to medical radiation as it is increasingly over-prescribed and is especially dangerous to our children.

Of course, there are valid reasons to have various medical diagnostic procedures. However, it is increasingly important that we not blindly accept our practitioner’s recommendations without doing our own research. We must take matters of health into our own hands and be well-informed consumers.

We urge you to educate yourself on the risks of any procedure that you agree to undergo. There are simple steps you can take to protect yourself, along with safer alternatives to some of the most commonly prescribed medical tests.

Watch and Learn
In today’s Video HealthAlert, we present some startling research that could change your thinking about what you may have always considered to be routine in your doctor’s office including x-rays, CT scans and mammograms. Join us as we discuss how your thyroid is at the greatest risk from medical radiation. We also show how to apply nuclear fallout protocol prior to being exposed to medical radiation by using a simple nutritional approach to protect your thyroid. By the way, if you find yourself in the dentist’s chair with the x-ray jacket across your chest, be sure and pull it up to your chin to shield your thyroid.

After watching the video, feel free to browse the links we’ve posted that offer you a host of references and known diagnostic alternatives to help you conduct your own research and reach your own conclusions.
