Aplications of thermography in medicine and health.

2. Thermography
A New Aproach to Thermal Diagnosys
Prof. José Travassos Valdez

3. • “The Lord will come at you with phthisis,
fever, inflammation, delirium, dryness,
burning and pallor" Bible, Deuteronomy;
28; 22.
• Since the beginning of Humankind fever is
seen as a sign of illness. In the ancient
documents of Chinese Medicine, some with
more than 3000 years, it is taken as causal
factors of disease, not only the aspects of
regulation and distribution of the heat by the
internal organs and its meridians but also the
thermal external influences.

4. • In ancient Greece philosophers and doctors like
Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates and Galeno were
fascinated by the relation between heat and life. For
centuries fever was considered a disease,
Hippocrates, the father of Medicine, who was also
the father of Thermoscophy, Hippocrates measured
radiant heat with the back of his hands, and
discovered that the over heat in certain parts of the
body were a clear sign of disease in that same area
of the body “when one part of the body is
warmer or colder than the rest then the
disease is in that area” (Adams, 1939), in
order to confirm he would rub a thin layer of clay and
observe where it would first dry. That’s how the first
thermograph appeared.

6. • Other small steps were taken, until in
1851, Carl Wunderlich starts a clinical
study about the importance of body
temperature, which was finished by 1866
and published in 1871, after the
observation and study of more than 25.000
patients. In this treaty he changes the
concept of fever as disease, often used
until then, to recognize it as a symptom.
The treaty of Carl Wunderlich establishes
important parameters in medicine, which
are still used nowadays:

7. • The knowledge of body temperature is essential to doctors;
• All the phenomenon of disease should be studied;
• Temperature can be measured accurately opposite to some
other clinical phenomenon;
• Temperature cannot be forged (it’s objective);
• Certain temperature increases indicate fever;
• Increased temperature indicates the disease’s level of
danger;
• The temperature study allows the laws of progression study
of some diseases;
• The thermal fluctuations during the disease allow
understanding the evolution, even before other signs. The
decline of temperature is a good sign of recovery. The
increase of temperature may indicate a state of imminent
death;
• Temperature gives irrefutable proof of the death state.

8. Thermoscophy a revolution on thermal
diagnosys
• Full body scan
• 6 levels of readings:
• Anatomical
• Trigger points
• Visceral reflex areas ( dermatomes)
• Classical acupuncture Points
• Hands thermal map
• Treatments control in real time.

9. Trigger points- Trapezius 2+ Sub occipital+ Gall blader 20

10. Right breast cancer

11. Thermal asymmetries
Scoliosis left convex Hernia with left
sciatic compression

12. Visceral activitie
Esophagitis Gastritis/ H. Pylorus

13. Secundary areas of visceral reflex

14. Trigger Points

15. Trigger Points

16. Acupuncture points

17. Hands reflex map

18. THERAPEUTIC CONTROL
• Thermography is an effective monitoring
system of acupuncture treatments, which
can even be used in real-time. Take for
example the case of a patient with
complaints of sudden tension rises up
200-250 mmhg. After conducting all types
of clinical tests (echocardiogram,
electrocardiogram, Holter, etc..) Nothing
has been found.

19. On thermal examination is detected a image hypothermic H-7 until H8/9
points a line clearly showing the meridian.
The points at issue applies needles 50mm steel and draw up new images for see
whats appen.

20. After 15 minutes at point H7 hypothermia
begins to decrease to disappear altogether after
about 30 minutes the meridian normalizes.
Following this treatment the symptoms
disappeared completely after 1 week.
