Funny how insurance fully covers things like annual mammograms (and the recommended baseline keeps getting lowered). Mammogram centers are standalone and very nice, but after my second annual one at 41, my intuition told me to stop, so I’ve been saved from 40 years of radiation aimed directly at my breast tissue. Dr. Perry Nickelston (has a podcast, book and goes on other podcasts) has an easy at-home lymphatic flush routine anyone can do themselves.
Hi Lisa: Extreme Health Radio has a May 11 interview with Dr. Nickelston called “The Power of the Lymphatic System.” Additionally, Dr. Nickelston has a video on YouTube about the Big 6 lymphatic drain. He’s all about the lymph! :) Check out Justin & Kate on Extreme Health Radio, also—it’s one of my favorites.
They say thermography is no radiation, but on closer inspection they also admit it is nonionizing radiation. So, definitely is radiation exposure. Years ago had one and felt off after, like I was exposed to something. Later learned that the industry lies about there being no harmful exposure. I don't know how the exposure compares to cell phones and other wireless devices, but they are also nonionizing radiation and that is known to be harmful.
I absolutely despise wearing bras but I do so out in public. However, once I get home, it’s the first thing that comes off...along with my shoes. I refuse to get annual Pap smears and mammograms anymore too. I got my first baseline mammogram at age 45 (I’m 63 now)and of course they “saw something“ and needed me to come back for a follow up mammogram to get a better look....to which I did, although, I was worried sick those two weeks. Come to find out, what they “saw” was calcium deposits caused from dried up breast milk in one of my milk ducts since I had quit nursing my youngest child two years prior. I decided right then and there that I would never have another mammogram ever again. My last Pap smear was at the age of 53 but I was never regular about getting them. I won’t have another ever again unless I start having an issue with bleeding.

Hi Karen, I have found Dr Perry’s podcast but would greatly appreciate if you can direct me to which one he speaks of the at home lymph flush routine?

Thank you Karen, I found his podcast, but will look for these also 🙏
