Longevity First using Thermography
Get ready for the one test that can totally save
your life. Computerized Regulation Thermography
(CRT) is a non-invasive test that can pinpoint
your health problems long before they show their
ugly heads. The test will be held at my office the
week of April 13th to 19th. Dr. Carola Cuenca is a
specialist in finding hidden problems in your
overall health and immune system.
I had the test done a few months ago, just to see
if there is any hidden stuff or imbalances in my
system, even though I was feeling good and thought
I was as healthy as an ox. I exercise every day,
eat a clean diet and meditate daily. I get regular
check-ups and everything looked fine. I was at my
dentist a few weeks prior to getting the CRT, and
I didn’t have any problems there either. But when
I got the results from Dr. Cuenca, she said I had
a problem with a tooth on my upper left side. The
following week, I went back to my dentist and
asked him to check out that tooth just in case
there was a problem. Sure enough, there was an
infection under a cap that the x-ray didn’t show.
My dentist and the dental hygienist were
astonished that the CRT picked that up.
For the most part, if one shows no signs or
symptoms, they don’t go to the doctor. The CRT can
pick up stuff months before they show any
symptoms. Because the test is heat-sensitive, it
is necessary to do it early morning. We will be
seeing patients from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. This
limits the amount of people we can see, so, if you
want to schedule an appointment, contact my office
at 305-407-0120 ASAP as we fill all the spots very
quickly.
Computerized Regulation Thermography (CRT) is a
method of whole body assessment that works as a
diagnostic aid. In the procedure, temperature
readings are taken at different points of the skin
that correlate with specific organs and structures
in the body, including breast tissue, digestive
organs, endocrine glands (thyroid, adrenals,
ovaries/testes, etc.), detoxification systems
(liver, kidneys, bladder), sinuses, teeth and the
peripheral vascular system (i.e., general blood
flow in the body). The skin points relate to these
underlying organs via a nerve pathway known as the
viscerocutaneous reflex. Viscero means organ and
cutaneous means skin, hence, it is a nerve pathway
that links organs to the skin patches that overlie
them. It has been found that the health of an
organ impacts the health of the skin overlying it,
meaning that if we detect irregularities in the
skin (in this case, measured by temperature
changes), it gives us insight into the pathology
that may be affecting the underlying structure. In
summary, Computerized Regulation Thermography
tells us about the health of the body by measuring
temperature changes at specific points on the
skin.
The test has three components:
1. Determining baseline temperature: In this part,
skin temperature is measured at eighty specific
points involving the face, neck, chest, abdomen,
lower back, and the elbow crease. Temperature
readings are measured using a temperature probe,
taking roughly two seconds at each point. These
are then transmitted to a computer program which
records them. This phase of testing takes
approximately ten minutes.
2. Temperature challenge: After the baseline
measurements are completed, the skin needs to be
challenged with a colder temperature. This is
achieved by exposing the tested skin areas to room
temperature air for ten minutes (i.e., without
clothing to keep the tested areas warm). During
this time, the skin should be able to compensate
for the drop in temperature unless there is an
issue with underlying organ(s).
3. Determining post-challenge temperature: In this
final phase, skin temperature is measured at the
same eighty points that were initially measured.
Again, the values are recorded by the computer and
they are compiled to determine if the skin
temperature compensated in a healthy way.
For each point that is tested, one of five results
can be found*:
1. Normal compensation: Skin temperature drops an
expected amount due to the cold challenge – this
reflects healthy underlying organ/structure
function.
2. Hyporegulation: Skin temperature drops but not
as much as expected – this reflects a lower than
optimal underlying organ/structure function.
3. Hyperregulation: Skin temperature drops much
more than expected – this reflects higher than
optimal underlying organ/structure function.
4. Paradoxical: Skin temperature increases rather
than decreases – this reflects inflammation in the
underlying organ/structure.
5. Blocked regulation: Skin temperature does not
change at all – this reflects a significant
pathology in the underlying organ/structure,
usually denoting it as an area that tops the
priority list for treatment.
*Please note that for points measured for the
teeth, head, and thyroid gland, all of these rules
are reversed – this is because those points should
see a temperature INCREASE when the body is cooled
down, not a decrease as with the rest of the body.
A full report is generated by the company, Alfa
Thermodiagnostics, that created the thermography
software used for the test. They take the graphic
results and transpose them onto a color-coded body
diagram for an easy visual depiction of what your
test results look like. The company also gives a
diagnostic report based on your readings as
compared to the data they have compiled from other
patients. The main advantage to this option is the
body diagram, which does make the results easier
to conceptualize. The test is a must to determine
your total health picture and keep you in the best
shape as well as getting to the root of illness
before it runs its course.
Remember, Dr. Cuenca will only be in town for only
one week. If you are ready for a big jump in your
overall health, call for an appointment at
305-407-0120.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and
Happiness.
