Well, let's get right into it. For those of you who are not familiar with thermography or infrared imaging, this is an FDA approved diagnostic procedure that uses highly specialized infrared cameras to measure the heat that's coming from your body. We produce heat in many, many different ways, abnormally from metabolic processes, from strain injuries that release toxic chemicals like fibromyalgia. Many, many uses for thermography. On the screen, you'll see a number of just basic ideas that I want to share with you before we get into breast thermography. The first picture here on the left is of a neck and a back. Subsequent to an automobile accident, the patients had a lot of muscle injury. When muscles are injured, they release a chemical called Substance P, just very similar to histamine that you'd get from a bee sting. And this inflammatory response in the muscle is not palpable by the human hand. We can't feel the temperature. We can't feel the muscle strain that's going on underneath it. But the camera shows us where these chemicals are being released that will eventually damage the muscle. The image next to it as a patient is this, again, a thermate Graham who's had a lumbar disc injury. You see the area higher in the spine as the theoretical lumbar junction, the mid back and the low back right at the base of your rib cage where your diaphragm is being treated by a chiropractor for several years for pain in the region. Below that, once we are able to identify the heat sources above and below. We were able to get effective treatment. One of the things a lot of people have experienced is whiplash injuries where they have a neck problem, but they don't realize that they've dislocated their jaw. And if you can see this heat signature just in front of the ear, that's a temporal mandibular joint dislocation that can have profound effects on the ability of the neck to heal. So a lot of times when we have very severe whiplash injuries, we get people to a dentist and to a chiropractor, both to work on both components and they stabilize faster in that same patient because of the neck injury. You can see that their fingers are cold on their hand, which is the image next to the neck. This is an autonomic nervous system injury where the sympathetic nerve fibers have been damaged and they reflect by causing a vessel constriction of the skin, an attractive nerve tissue that runs from the spine to the fingers or toes. So if you've ever been to a doctor who's run a pinwheel up and down
