Thermography 101

YOUR BODY DOES "TALK"
Perhaps we may not be able to talk to them, but they can "talk " to us. And they can tell us how well they function and how well they cope under stress, through a simple and relatively new state-of-the-art biological screening method called Regulation Thermography.
Thermography is quite simply the measurement of heat. Regulation Thermography measures precise skin temperatures over body organs and visually displays results in the form of graphs and diagrams. Your thermogram is very specific to your unique biochemical profile. It allows your body organs the ability to communicate any dysfunction or its capacity to function, or in other words, regulate, under stressful conditions. It allows for much greater certainty in recommending nutrients that are very specific for your exact needs.

While Thermography by itself gives a picture of the body organs and systems as adapted to its environment, Regulation Thermography provides what we really want to know...What is their ability to regulate or function dynamically in a changing environment and adapt to normal stresses? Inefficiency or even inability here leads on a path directly away from health toward disease.

THE SKIN TEMPERATURE
You may be wondering how skin temperature can give information about body organs. After 30 years of research, it is now known that the small blood vessels under the skin will constrict (cooling) or expand (heating) based upon the healthy, sick or stressed messages coming through the nervous system from the organs directly beneath.

Think of it this way. Have you ever put a hot water bottle on top of a painful gallbladder; or an ice pack on an inflamed appendix? Actually this has the same effect in reverse. The heat or cold does not penetrate the skin more than a fraction of an inch. So whatever reaches and effects the desired organ is not the change in temperature, but an informational message coming from the skin and being processed through a switch relay in the spinal cord. If you have ever been in the care of an experienced massage therapist you may well know that trained sensitive fingers can often "feel" organ and tissue stress well beneath skin surface. This is precisely what Regulation Thermography is now objectively measuring in an exact, quantifiable way.
