Breast Health

What

The use of thermal imaging systems is based on the principle that metabolic activity and vascular circulation in both pre-cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in normal breast tissue. Cancerous tumors increase circulation to their cells by holding open existing blood vessels, opening dormant vessels, and creating new ones. This process frequently results in an increase in regional surface temperatures of the breast, detectable by the infrared imaging.

These temperature variations may be among the earliest signs of breast cancer and/or a pre-cancerous state of the breast, resulting in quicker treatment.

Who

All women can benefit from screening, however, it is especially appropriate for younger women (30-50) whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to be effective. Also, for women of all ages who are unable to undergo routine mammography. This test can provide a 'clinical maker' to the doctor or mammographer that a specific area of the breast needs particularly close examination.

“I am amazed at how much better I feel! I have been using the topical bio identical cream for a few years. We added oral progesterone to aid with sleep. I am a new person! I had severe joint pain in both my hips and night sweats. I have to say, after I started on the topical progesterone, the night sweats are much much less noticeable. And...My joint pain is GONE. Completely. Even before my cycle. I have been to traditional doctors, physical therapists and even a chiropractor. Nothing helped. I sleep better, have less mood swings and no more hip pain. I sleep so much better now. Amazing. No sleeping pills needed here. Thank goodness! Thank you ,thank you Dr. Duffy!!!”

“I love your office. I searched high & low for someone that was forward thinking & willing to treat me although others wouldn't because some values were in lab range, but rather you wanted me to be optimal. I recommend your office daily to those that struggle with this issue, specifically those with Hashimotos.”

“We lost a wonderful doctor when we moved away from Clemson. Dr. Duffy always worked to keep us well - a concept that seems to mystify other doctors. Unfortunately, we had to wait for 3 months to get a new doctor, and he is against all hormone therapy, confessed he is untrained in all supplements, and will be there only to get us well when we have a disease. I guess this is better than nothing, but we continue to look for a Dr. Duffy replacement - one we might never be able to find.”

“I heard about Dr. Duffy and saliva testing so I made an appointment to see her. She LISTENED to me, actually understood what I was talking about! I did everything she asked me to do and I started to feel better. I'm feeling happy these days. I have energy and no more hot flashes. Dr. Duffy didn't just work with my hormone replacement she helped me with different eating styles until we found one that worked for me. I've lost weight, no longer weigh or measure anything, no more logging or counting calories and I'm maintaining. On my last visit with her I hugged her and said "thanks for saving me." and I meant it. I have my life back thanks to the staff at Carolina Integrative Medicine, and you can too.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Duffy and the entire staff. They go out of their way to work with insurances, and spend a great deal of time keeping records accurate, detailed, and complete. My care has been excellent. Dr. Duffy has helped with some issues no other doctor in the area could improve. I love the integrative medicine approach and the personal time she gives. I highly recommend this practice.”

“My wife and I love Carolina Integrative Medicine. Dr. Duffy and the entire staff are on their "A" game when it comes to your health. After many years of looking for a good OB/GYN, my wife discovered Carolina Integrative Medicine several years ago. She absolutely loves the homeopathic approach to health and wellness so this was a natural fit for my her. After numerous bad biometric readings from my Michelin health advocate, I decided to go to CIM and see what they could do for me. Dr. Duffy and the staff gave me lots of good advice and supplements and I have never felt better. We live in Anderson but gladly drive to Clemson to receive the best healthcare around.”

Heather A

“Dr. Duffy is extraordinary. She listens and makes treatment suggestions based on her knowledge and experience in assisting the body to function well on its own. The model of prescribing medications in the usual manner is not practiced with her. She is a doctor in the highest sense of the word. She is a great partner in the journey back to homeostasis. I deeply appreciate the care I have received with she and her team.”

“Dr. Duffy and her staff are amazing. They truly care about my health. I would HIGHLY recommend them!!”

“This is a long overdue thank you to Dr. Duffy. I actually live in Colorado but started seeing her when I was on a trip to Clemson and wasn't feeling well. Instead of labeling my insomnia, fatigue and anxiety as simply depression, she got to the root of the problem and addressed it using holistic measures. I really like the fact that she exercises an integrative approach to medicine, and not just alternative or conventional medicine. She uses whatever approach is appropriate for your condition. Although I live in Colorado, I still consider her one of my best "go to" doctors; believe it or not, she still treats me from far away! I truly feel better than I have in a long time. Thanks again, Dr. Duffy.”
