Unfortunately, breast health remains one of the single biggest health challenges, particularly for women. One in 7 women born after 1960 are expected to be at risk of developing breast cancer at some time during their lifetime. This compares with 1 in 870-lifetime risk for men. Consequently, we recommend regular breast health scanning checks using Breast Thermography which is pain-free radiation-free and safe.”

Breast Thermography uses state of the art technology which scans the breasts using an infrared camera to produce a “thermogram”. Thermocheck_® system detects any abnormal heat patterns that can indicate infection, inflammation or a more sinister emerging problem in the breast. Breast tumours tend to have abnormal blood vessel patterns and increased metabolic activity that gives off more heat than the surrounding tissue. These heat changes can occur between 6 and 10 years before a tumour is big enough to see on a mammogram. Therefore detecting this heat can enable earlier intervention and reduction of future risk. A persistently abnormal thermogram represents an increased risk. The blood vessel growth that accompanies cancer formation is termed neovascularization or angiogenesis. Neovascularization is the earliest sign of a rapidly growing tumour and can be detected with infrared technology.

100% safe, radiation-free, non-contact and painless.
Very early detection of changes to breast health. Thermography should not replace mammography as a cancer diagnostic tool and may be a particularly relevant adjunct for women with dense breasts for which mammography and self-examination may present difficulties.
It is unique in its capacity to visually record physiological changes and metabolic processes.
Studies show 90% sensitivity (when properly conducted). This means that where there is an increased risk, breast thermography can correctly identify this in 90% of cases.

Cancers are associated with increased temperature and abnormal blood vessel patterns.
Breast Health Thermography can be repeated as often as required given there is no exposure to harmful radiation. It is therefore particularly suited to regular and frequent breast health checks, including post-surgery, during treatment or in cases where a patient does not consent to surgery. Please note that thermography is not a substitute for cancer scanning or diagnosis by mammography or biopsy.
It is useful for young women for whom mammography is inappropriate due to 1) greater density of breast tissue and 2) greater sensitivity of their breast tissue to adverse effects of ionising radiation.

We do not promote Thermocheck_® thermography as a replacement of mammography for the following reasons:

1. They are fundamentally different in what they uncover

Mammography can detect an established physical mass in the breast (about the size of a small grape).
Thermography detects metabolic and vascular thermal changes that occur sooner than a mass is established.
A normal mammogram does not mean you have healthy breasts only that there is an absence of a structural lesion.
A normal thermogram indicates that you have physiologically healthy breasts.

2. A mammogram may still be a necessary investigation where there are both physical and thermal changes in the breast.

Where can I have a Thermography Scan?

Breast thermography with Thermocheck_® takes place at our Harley Street Clinic in Central London in our private breast scanning room.

Are there any preparations I need to follow before my scan?

In order to achieve the highest accuracy, it is compulsory to follow our standardised protocols. These are always emailed after booking your appointment.

How long will my appointment take?

Your Thermocheck® appointment will take approximately 30 minutes with one of our female scan technicians. If you are concerned about your breast health and prefer to discuss your Thermocheck® results on the same day straight after your scan with a breast health specialist, we offer an option of booking a scan and consultation with Dr Eccles, the founder of Thermocheck® on the same day.

At what age should I start to have Breast Thermography?

At The Natural Doctor®, given the incidence of breast cancer nowadays in younger women, we recommend a thermography screen for women of all ages from 20 onwards; especially so if there is a family history of breast cancer.

How often should I have a Breast Thermography scan?

We recommend a regular annual Breast Thermogram much like a regular dental check-up. Patients with abnormal scans or with breast cancer history will be recommended more regular check-ups.

Find optimal breast health with thermography

At the age of 20, Mrs Grey had a benign breast lump removed. Now at the age of 51, she has used Thermography and Dr Eccles’ supplements to reverse the high risk rating in her left breast.

“Thermography is the only way to go.”

Angela originally came to see Dr Eccles for ThermoCheck® breast thermography in 2016 after becoming concerned about her breast health. Her thermography scan revealed some abnormal tissue heat in her left breast caused by a small lesion.

I had some treatment for a breast condition in the clinic, people are very polite and nice including the doctors. I had to stop the treatment as It was not working but that's fair enough as no everything works for everybody. I stop going to the clinic and nobody in the clinic contacted me to find out what was going on, what happened with me. That showsed lack of care and I was disappointed about that.

Been visiting this clinic for nearly 10 years. It reassures me about my breast health and if I raise any concerns they are always answered well. Staff are professional but friendly. Dr Eccles knows his field. Will keep returning for my check ups. Peace of mind is worth so much.

A recent breast health scare in my 30's lead me to seek a less invasive option to check breast health. The Thermocheck scan, detailed report and Skype consultation with Dr Eccles was very professional and reassuring. I now feel more informed and supported in preparation for my hospital appointment. I highly recommend Dr Eccles and his team to provide an efficient, professional service and support your health naturally.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use your excellent product. Although it has only been 2 weeks, both myself and my wife have noticed, the hair growth has certainly become thicker, more of a covering. This is very encouraging, following many years of not really being bothered about my hair loss, now that I am noticing an improvement I am very excited at the prospects of once again having a full head of hair.

Dr Eccles has given me my life back, because he has balanced my hormones in a way that enables me to live my life to the full again!I was not only suffering with menopause fatigue and the many other symptoms of menopause, but I had ongoing lethargy with Auto-Immune Hashimotos and a struggling thyroid. It came to the point I didn’t know which symptom was due to which hormone deficiency.After my second thorough consultation with Dr Eccles, he had tweaked my dose and found I was indeed Iodine deficient. Now I am beginning to have normal levels of energy again and it is getting better and better, for the first time in five years! I sleep like a baby and my overactive bladder has been calmed. I am so glad I found Dr Eccles, life is too short to suffer with debilitating symptoms, he is the best doctor for me!

The Dr helped me feel like myself again after lots of low level symptoms. My GP dismissed me. It was worth every penny. Thank you

I began to see Dr Eccles six years ago and he continues to provide excellent care and attention every time I see him. I have referred several friends to him and they have all been very happy. Both Dr Eccles and his staff genuinely care and always go the extra mile. I highly recommend him for all areas of female health, immunity and healthy ageing in general!
