East Anglia Thermography Clinic

My name is Janet van Dam – I am a mobile clinic and work throughout East Anglia.

Medical Thermography or DITI, is a simple test of physiology, showing us how the body is functioning, and, like ultrasound and mammography, it can help to identify risk factors which may not be determined in any other way.
East Anglia Thermography Clinic is unique in using a new technology called Spatial Thermal Imaging to interpret the breast images, revealing in much more detail what is happening underneath the skin. The greater detail offers a more valuable assessment of breast health, which can help you and your practitioner identify early changes and can warn us of the development of breast disease at the earliest possible time.
Medical Thermography monitors your breast health by looking for any irregular or abnormal blood flow in the breasts, chest and back and can show us any thermal changes between each screening. An abnormal blood flow (neo-vascularity) in one particular area could indicate the development of disease, because a tumour needs a blood supply to feed it. This process is usually visible earlier with thermal imaging compared to when a mammogram can “see” a tumour. Mammography visualises the end stage of a disease process and can show tumours only when they are well established.
Besides looking for this unusual blood supply, we can monitor general changes, which could be an indication of fibrocystic activity, hormone activity or inflammatory processes, like inflammatory breast cancer, a type of cancer that does not show up on a mammogram, because there are no lumps.

Thermography is not only valuable in the early detection of breast disease, it can also bring to light unidentified sources of pain in the body, which may be due to varicose veins, ligament damage, nerve entrapment, inflammation of tissues or organs, circulatory diseases, digestive issues, diabetes or immune disease, just to name a few. An assessment can help your practitioner to get you to a better treatment.

The gut is of essential importance in health and this is something we also pay attention to. Many recent studies have been able to prove that a low carb diet is highly effective in reducing levels of glucose in the blood, but also is able to lower insulin activity. Since metabolic disease is at the basis of all chronic disease (think of diabetes) it is important to make changes to the way we eat to better nourish ourselves, but to also reduce those factors that contribute to ill health.

Homeopathy can be very useful in regulating hormone activity, but also has been proven t
