Prostate cancer can have very similar symptoms to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), caused by an enlarged prostate, or sometimes none at all. Signs to look for are urinary symptoms, fatigue, back pain or blood in the urine/semen. What can you do to maintain prostate health? Get quality sleep; stick to a diet rich in vegetables/phytonutrients, good fats, lean protein; and exercise! Supplementation is very beneficial and a non-invasive treatment for BPH. Naturopathic medicine can provide additional support for prostate cancer. This can include decreasing side effects from conventional treatment and supplementation.

Thermography and Breast Health
October is breast cancer awareness month, and preventative health care and early detection are important factors when it comes to breast health. DITI (Digital Thermal Imaging) or Thermography is a non-invasive assessment tool using an infrared camera. This helps to visualize inflammation and dysfunction in the body to assess problems in the vascular, muscular, neural, and skeletal systems. For breast health, DITI can help create a baseline of healthy breast activity, and yearly DITI follow-ups can help detect potential physiological changes and abnormalities. Since DITI looks for changes in physiology, it can be a great secondary measure alongside mammography.

Understanding EchoLight REMS Technology
EchoLight REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) offers a breakthrough in bone health assessment, particularly for osteoporosis. Unlike traditional DEXA scans, REMS is non-invasive, radiation-free, and provides highly accurate results. It’s especially beneficial for individuals in their 30s and 40s, when bone density may begin to decline. Factors like genetics, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can further weaken bones. Regular bone health monitoring with tools like REMS can help ensure early detection and proactive management, promoting healthier bones and reducing the risk of fractures.
