Understanding Breast Thermography and Cancer Risks
Why Women Should Get a Breast Thermography Screening: Breast thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free method for early detection of abnormalities in breast tissue. It can identify changes at a cellular level, often before they are detectable by other methods.
Assessing Breast Cancer Risk: Understanding your breast cancer risk involves evaluating factors like family history, lifestyle, and genetics. Regular screenings help in creating a personalized prevention plan.
Cancer Metastasis: Metabolic health factors and environmental exposures driving cancer rates.

Comprehensive Health Insights: Cancer Statistics, Baseline Testing, and the Impact of Heavy Metals and Marijuana Use
Cancer affects 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women. Dr. Merkle conducts comprehensive baseline testing every 8 months, which includes cancer, heart, hormone, longevity, toxicity, and neurological panels.
A patient with elevated P-tau tests may have marijuana use as a contributing factor. While brain plasticity is a consideration, long-term marijuana use could potentially lead to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Heavy metal testing is crucial for identifying toxicity and related symptoms. Notably, a case of stage 4 breast cancer was linked to extreme lead and mercury toxicity.
