As a Holistic Nurse Practitioner, she has done extensive patient teaching in regards to medical issues, disease and prevention. Lifestyle, nutritional counseling and bio-identical hormone replacement have been a focus of the practice. She has long-term experience in Mind-Body and Preventive Medicine and completed clinical training programs at the Mind Body Medical Institute at Harvard and the Beth Israel Hospital under Dr Herbert Benson, MD. She was invited to present her research to 200 physicians and researchers at the 5th International Cancer Forum on Cryoablation and Stem Cell Research held at the Fuda Cancer Hospital in China in July 2016. Infrared thermography images of a woman pre and post cryoablation were presented as well as the ＂Early Freeze＂ protocol. She would like to see that women with ＂suspicious findings＂ on breast structural studies and abnormal thermograms just have the mass frozen and then follow the women over time. This has been the standard of care for 40 years for freezing cervical ＂suspicious findings＂ on Pap smears. Those women are not being treated for cervical cancer, just suspicious findings on her Pap smear. Why can’t this cryoablation be made available to women for their breasts? Prevention IS the Cure !
