Smith explains the issues with mammograms and how the radiation they give off is actually much higher than the doctors tell you.

Francine van Broekhoven became a certified medical thermographer after her mother passed away from Breast Cancer. She is an expert in the field of breast health in combination with a thermography report. By the year 2019, Francine had made over 5000 thermograms in The Netherlands and Belgium. Additionally, she is the author of the book: Breast Health handbook and Medical Thermography. Francine has become an advocate of healthy breasts. According to Francine, there are so many things women CAN do if they would only know. Thermography is just a part of the whole package; women should get information about what the bra is doing with their lymph and how their breasts can benefit from dry brushing and breast tissue treatments. Francine also points out that Thermography is not about detecting breast cancer, but about giving very personal information to a woman about the health status of her breasts. No woman should have to go through the sorrow and fear which Francine and her mother experienced. Francine wants to take away the anxiety of breast cancer and give trust and knowledge back in the hands of all women around the world.
