 this device kind of falls between, um, so from a realignment perspective, you know, we, we do what we do, uh, and very, very, very, you know, very objectively, and it's also, uh, very visually appealing. Um, and it re it removes the need for, you know, cracking and pulling people's back and, and snapping them and giving them TIAs. Um, so, so that's one side of it, uh, does it consistently without any, you know, with, without any deliberation whatsoever. Um, and as precisely as it's humanly possible. So that's one side of it. On the other side, from a regenerative standpoint, it almost, you know, people who would normally be using PRP and, and, and trying to, you know, uh, experiment with stem cells and all of that, this kind of knocks it out out of the park. So we get tremendous immediate outcomes where there is to the knee, to the shoulder, to soft tissue, and, and most importantly, to cartilage and ligaments. Where that, where that sort of Absolutely. 

So, so where we are with the technology is that, is that currently, I mean, our, our most, the most important thing right now is to be able to put this hand, the technology to the hands of, of clinicians, you know, across the country. That's got to happen. I mean, we just cannot delay anymore. It's, it's, uh, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's so delayed in for, you know, in getting to, into the hands of the clinicians to begin with that I feel guilty about it every single day. And, um, and I think, you know, the, the needless pain and suffering of patients is, is what kind of drives me crazy. You know, every time I think about all the people who are, you know, suffering where this technology in a matter of minutes can change their life, um, you know, and they don't have access to it. And now we've got an FDA clearance, we have the whole, everything is wide open for us. And, uh, now it's just a matter of really placing into the hands of, of, well-meaning people. 

 I can take all the credit for it, but, you know, somewhere, somehow things came and happened and I walked into it and, uh, and I think it was, it was truly a game changer for us to be able to use sound in, in treatment, uh, starting many years ago. And, um, and I think what you'll, what you'll find is that, um, in the years to come, this is going to be the cornerstone of how we apply medicine. There is no question. If there's one thing I can leave behind in this conversation, it's that watch out because there is laser use and there's, you know, there's many other uses as well, uh, chemical use of drugs and surgery and, and, uh, and when it comes to the non-invasive sites, some of the injections and everything, and now they've, they've done their part. 

But when it comes to sound, the, the, the, the implication, the opportunity of being able to tailor it to each person's individual, you know, their own profile, their own individual profile, we just don't have anything that even comes close to that with any other technology. And, you know, and so, um, you know, I think it was, I was very fortunate I walked into it by mistake. And, um, and, you know, I, I opened the curtain and I said, what the hell is this? And, and before I knew it, I had engineers, scientists, researchers working on it, and they spent 10 years of, you know, I spent 10 years of my life just going through the, you know, the grind. And, um, and, but at every corner, the beauty was that at every corner, whenever I would, you know, I would make the next, you know, I would open up the next chapter, I would see something amazing that was even bigger than I imagined. 

I think, I think the beauty is that today, um, the technology has arrived, you know, and, um, and, and, and now in terms of the clinicians, I mean, you know, the joy is that, you know, the more brilliant a clinician and the more thoughtful a clinician is, the more they'll enjoy it and the more they'll discover things that nobody else has discovered and it's at their fingertips, they can apply it. And as long as they're able to capture before and after, they'll know what needs to be done. 

this is gonna be the future of medicine in a big way. It's not gonna be exclusively to this obviously, like everything else, but it's gonna be, it's gonna take on a huge part of our life. If you remember how our man on Star Trek would hold up this, this device and, you know, every time Bones would see somebody with, with an injury, he'd put it up against him. And well, you know, everything else came true in, of Star Trek, whether it was a cell phone or whatever else there was out there in those days. Um, I'm talking about, I'm going back to the original Star Trek, by the way. Unfortunately, I'm dating myself. 

THERMOGRAM - a Tech Review by Dr. Leslie Valle-Montoya

WORK IN PROGRESS- DO NOT DISTRIBUTE (INTERNAL USE ONLY)

In today's world of advanced technology and medicine, artificial intelligence is based on mathematical components, data analytics, predictions, forecasting and more.  In medicine, we can use new advances in technology to be able to detect irregularities at an early stage for detection and prevention.  A healthy lifespan is what we all aspire for in longevity and with advances in non-invasive modalities, we begin to embrace the functions of medicine for early analysis of dysfunction and disease.

The human body can be measured and analyzed by many different forms and diagnostics.  We chose to use Regulation Thermometry which is different from standard thermography.  Instead of an infrared camera to detect heat patterns and blood flow in tissues, Alfa Thermodiagnostics introduces thermography which uses a patented medical-grade infrared sensor and measures the body in 2 states.  Like a stress echocardiography, in order to measure the body we need to place light “stress” to analyze the changes and possible irregularities.  This thermography measures over 100 points in the body twice at a control room temperature.

First, what is Regulation Thermometry? 
Regulation Thermometry uses mathematics and infrared sensors which are calibrated for the human body and involves analyzing changes in skin temperatures before and after exposure to a cool air stimulus. The connections between the skin and the channels with internal organs, this method allows for the indirect assessment of organ and tissue systems.  It is achieved by utilizing the spinal reflex arc and the expression of the Autonomic Nervous System where peripheral nerves connect with organ and tissue signals. The test takes 20 minutes and results are immediate for assessment by the physician.

A traditional thermography scan looks at thermal images caused by vascular components and heat patterns and/or anomalies.  And the scan is done once without the component of stressing the system.   Regulation thermography measures the physiological changes from stress to the whole body to analyze signatures patterns of regulation and dysregulation. 

What does it measure? Cerebrovascular disorders, neuromuscular, brain microbiome infections, thyroid disorder, endocrine function, breast health, prostate function, liver function, dental & gum conditions, pulmonary function, lymphatic function, intestinal disorder and inflammatory conditions. 

Side Note:  The biggest feature I see with Regulation thermography is the ability to have a panoramic dental evaluation of all 32 teeth.  Embryological development of our teeth correlates to an organ and related system of our whole body.  In my training of Biological Medicine, I was guided to analyze dental health first before bypassing the mouth and looking at family history and labs.  The mouth is part of our terrain and it needs to be incorporated into our medical wellbeing. Biological dentist are impressed when their patients come with a copy of their thermography report alarming where there could be a potential infection in the making. 

Applications in Preventive Health: Thermography has a wide range of preventative applications. It is particularly effective in monitoring breast health, where early detection of anomalies can significantly improve treatment outcomes. By using thermography, healthcare providers can track changes over time and identify issues before they develop into more serious conditions.  And changes can be measured frequently non-invasively and radiation-free. This makes it a safe option for regular monitoring, without the risks associated with repeated exposure to radiation.

ANECDOTAL COMPARISONS WITH OTHER DIAGNOSTIC OPTIONS:

Preventative measures: An imbalance and dysfunction can lead to disease. We want to pick up dysfunction at an early stage and do true preventative medicine to change the dysfunction. This technology plays a crucial role in preventative health care. It is not necessary to wait until a certain age to use diagnostics tools to look for abnormalities.  By detecting heat patterns and anomalies in the body, it provides valuable insights that can help in early diagnosis and monitoring of various health conditions.

Conclusion: Recently an article by Journal Cell Metabolism collected over 2,800 facial thermal imaging analysis to reveal the hallmarks of aging and metabolic diseases (Yu et al., July 2, 2024).  Alfa thermography offers a valuable tool using a whole body temperature sensor with infrared coupling- measuring the small temperature changes on the skin. Its non-invasive nature and ability to detect early signs of abnormalities make it an excellent option for regular health check-ups and preventative medicine.  We need to see that the points measured in the body can regulate themselves.  Which translates as tissues able to heal themselves.  By incorporating thermography into your health regimen, you can take proactive steps towards maintaining your well-being and catching potential issues early.
