Quick Summary:

Health discovery by safe and radiation-free screening using advanced infrared technology will enable the detection of any inflammation and potential cancerous activity at an early stage, and the follow-up dietary based treatment options would potentially save many lives as well as billions of dollars on healthcare expenditures for chronic diseases.

The problem:

Modern life is full of stress the vast majority of which is psychological - work, finances, families, and their competing demands. Stress activates a sympathetic response (also known as “fight or flight" response) in our body which is useful when we really need it. But when it's happening at a low grade all the time in response to the chronic stress, our body can, over time, take a profound physical toll. Organs are fatigued and not functioning properly, and the body is constantly in a state of inflammation, creating the environment for degenerative diseases.

Research indicates that chronic inflammation and stress are the big players in the age related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and brain deterioration. The problem is that the traditional medical intervention is evidence based. That is, the disease has to be mature enough for diagnosis by traditional diagnostic tools. This is a reactive approach- it costs more and saves less lives. We need a safe, effective and less expansive option for chronic diseases, that is prevention and early intervention!

What is Health Discovery?

Health discovery is a process of preventive health screening by using an advanced infrared technology that is 100% safe and is uniquely able to detect any inflammation and potential cancerous activity at an early stage. Our body emits infrared radiation which is essentially heat produced by vascular activity and metabolic reactions, and this heat pattern is remotely detected by infrared technology. Moreover, this screening (also known as tele-thermography or infrared thermography) is the gold standard for documenting sympathetic response and thus an ideal tool for discovering chronic inflammation in the body.Thermography does not replace any modality, it simply provides a safe and sensitive alternative. The true value of thermography lies in the fact that it gives you the opportunity for early intervention, before the potential development and growth of a chronic, life threatening disease. The nice thing is, that it is a non-invasive, radiation-free & touch-free procedure!


Who will benefit from it and how?

  1. According to American Cancer Society’s estimates (www.cancer.org), 1 in 8 women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer in their life time. Breast cancer does not happen overnight, it is a disease that takes years to grow to the stage it can be detected by traditional screening modalities. Detection by mammography and other traditional modalities depend on the size and density of the tumor, and by the time a tumor is detected by traditional X-Ray mammography, the body has over a billion cancer cells. On the other hand, Infrared Thermography can detect early stage vascular changes long before they could develop into a tumor and is effective in detecting benign versus malignant abnormalities. The earlier a disease is diagnosed, the more likely it is to cure or effectively manage it and lower its impact on your life. 

  2. Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S. (www.seer.cancer.gov). The most common test used to detect level of inflammation in the blood stream is called C-reactive protein (CRP). It is a simple and inexpensive test, however, it is non-specific; that is, it simply detects inflammation from all sources, including medications or injuries. For this reason, it cannot always be used to measure chronic inflammation concerning cardiovascular disease. This is another area where Thermography can be very helpful since it can show the inflammation in the peripheral arteries leading to the heart and/or redirection of blood perfusion in the chest area (via sympathetic response), thus providing early warning indicators for a developing heart disease.

The safe alternative:

Preventing a disease is easier and less expensive than treating a disease after it reveals itself. We don’t just wake up in the morning with a health challenge. It’s a process that takes years, and it is often result of your actions or inactions. The adoption of early intervention and follow-up natural dietary based treatment options will empower people take control of their health,  increase average life span, and would potentially save billions of dollars to the healthcare expenditures. The alternative is as following:

  1. Discovering and monitoring health by using infrared thermography, a) for the peace of mind, or b) to detect any abnormal activity, inflammation and potential cancerous activity at an early stage.  Please check our website for more information at: www.irwise.com. The next question is, what if you see early warning signs of a developing disease? 

  2. We will provide follow-up dietary based treatment options for specific chronic conditions that are normally not available in the traditional medicine, certainly not in a concise form. Working in collaboration with medical doctors, nutritionists and available literature in the nutritional medicine we will offer dietary recommendations and make it available and accessible online as well.

Why Indiegogo?

We are reaching out on Indiegogo in order to seek help from the community to promote health in the community. The success and sustainability of our enterprise is contingent upon adequate funding, and community’s collective funds and generosity can help us realize this dream.

Use of funds:

Your pledge funds will be used to raise awareness about the program and its benefits, hiring staff, finishing incomplete projects (1-further advancing the sensitivity of breast screening, 2-dietary based treatment options), and paying for the overhead expenses of the screening center. Our hope and goal is to make the business self-sustainable in 18-24 months.
