Breast cancer is a devastating experience for any women to go through.
My breast cancer was the reason for causing my life to be out of balance on the physical level.
It is amazing how these four elements co-mingle and if we lack in one aspect, it immediately reflects on our lives in a form of disharmony that can appear as a form of disease or even mastectomy as a result of breast cancer that changes the whole picture.
Picture this: Close your eyes for a moment and Imagine that you are standing on a center of a table with four steady legs… Continue reading

Infra red thermography is a diagnostic technique used to detect signs of potential breast cancer years before the formation of a tumor.
