No doctor has done more for early detection, progressive breast cancer treatments and breast cancer prevention than William B. Hobbins M.D. This maverick has truly been an unsung hero saving thousands of lives and revolutionizing the medical industry worldwide.
"Thermography was shown as the highest risk factor marker (for breast cancer). It was found to be a 10 times higher risk marker than family history."
William Hobbins MD: Thermography-Highest Risk Marker 1977
Hey troops! The history of early detection in the U.S. includes the life and research of a remarkable renegade doctor who has devoted his life to preventing breast cancer – William B. Hobbins, M.D. See how one’s man purpose has influenced the course of early detection and prevention. No doctor has done more for early detection and breast cancer prevention.
One of the original mammography researchers
"Earlier detection of breast cancer is necessary to reduce the mortality rate of this disease... mammography will detect breast cancer... earlier than waiting for the female to find the lump. Earlier detection will hopefully change the present cure rate from 45% to 90% and nationally save 20,000 lives annually."
Willam Hobbins M.D., "Seven Year Mammography in Private Practice," 1971
In 1964, Dr. Hobbins lost a close friend to breast cancer. She discovered a lump by palpation and passed away 6 months later at the age of 36. At that time, palpation was the only detection method for breast cancer. Dr. Hobbins began his life-long research in discovering breast imaging modalities. This experience completely changed Dr. Hobbins’s medical career. His friend’s life has never been forgotten and, in fact, inspired the prevention movement.
In 1965, Dr. Hobbins studied mammography with the creators of this science in the United States, Bobby Eagen and Harold Isard. He continued his education in Strasbourg, France at "Center of Cancer Detections" - the center of European cancer development.
He conducted a seven-year survey with a Tungsten Target X-Ray Unit, using the Eagen technique, and from 1965-1971 performed 3,175 mammograms – a particularly vast number considering mammography was still in the research stage and women did not yet have this as an option for diagnosis. In 1969, Dr. Hobbins received an award from the surgical department at the Wisconsin Surgical Society for finding the most cancers from his innovative mammographic research.
"As seventy-five of women a day die in the United States of cancer of the breast and because it is the number-one killer between the ages of 35 and 50 of women in the United States, a great deal of attention was placed upon the breast examination in my practice. In 1964, as a private practicing physician of general and thoracic surgery... it became apparent that I was not affording the patient who came for breast examination all that was available by our present knowledge. So I resolved that any female patient, over the age of 30 who presented herself for any complaint or examination, would be mammogrammed."
William Hobbins M.D., "Seven Year Mammography in Private Practice," 1971
Leading researcher in thermography in the U.S.
“Thermography screening of the breast does not find breast cancer. Thermography screening does identify a female population which is at higher risk than the population at large. Thermography screening is biologically safe. Thermography screening increases the opportunity to intensify educational emphasis.”
William Hobbins MD: Mass Breast Cancer Screening with Thermography, 25,000 Cases, 1975
At this time in our history, many radiologists were also studying thermography as a form of early detection. From 1970-1972, Dr. Hobbins studied in Montreal, Canada, with Dr. Ray Lawson, the creator of breast thermography, and the two became lifelong colleagues and friends. In 1971 he returned to Strasbourg and studied with Dr. Gros and his assistant Guthery for several years touring thermography clinics in many European countries.
He returned to Wisconsin with this education, where he received a grant and imaged over 100,000 women from 1971-1974. Dr. Hobbins led the research to create the certified breast thermography model along with a small group of MDs.
In the late ’70s Dr. Hobbins was given the Key of Lyon, France for his research in thermography.
In 1971 Dr. Hobbins started the first American Thermographic Society, the American Academy of Thermology, with 15-20 members, including medical doctors like William Isard and Jan Abernathy. To continue his research and prevent breast cancer, Dr. Hobbins started the "Breast Cancer Detection Agency" in 1972 and was a renowned breast cancer surgeon.
“In 1972, I formed and incorporated the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Foundation after acquiring my first thermographic equipment, a spectratherm, at its original cost of $50,000. Using a truck and trailer of 28 feet, with its own generator and triple air conditioning system, my wife's staff screened some 37,000 women in five states, sending reports to their physicians with a request of their follow up.”
In 1971, Dr. Hobbins surmised that they could “proceed with programs of mass screening large segments of the population… In the initial step, thermography is used to determine the high risk population and these results are turned over to the private physician for follow up x-ray.” He believed that “this brings good screening immediately to all areas at the least expense and helps to expand mammography faculties and education.”
William Hobbins M.D. 1973
Dr. Hobbins toured the globe 10 times and trained 1,800 physicians in the U.S., Asia, and South America, with Korea leading the way in thermography.
“I was invited to be the main speaker at the Asian Pacific Congress of Thermology in Seoul, Korea. My address was ‘Breast Infrared Imaging Paradigm for Eradication of Breast Cancer.’” This was a wonderful honor, as most of the 350 Korean thermographers were introduced and trained by me. Most, if not all, Korean hospitals practice thermography. It was great to see my students and old friends again. It has been three years. What a terrific time, and I am here to say that they are ahead of the United States.”
William Hobbins M.D. Christian Medical Center Newsletter,2002
However, this mass education of thermography came with a price. He was confronted with such an enormous amount of resistance from the medical community and his colleagues, with his revolutionary research, he withdrew himself from the AMA (American Medical Association). He realized at this time, all they did was covet and control and his priorities were the patient's best interests.
In the early ’80s Dr. Abernathy had all non-M.Ds removed from the AAT. Outraged by the limiting of thermography to only M.Ds, Dr. Hobbins funded and founded the IACT, International Academy of Clinical Thermography. He trained all doctors who were interested in learning thermography through this academy. This academy has evolved and is now primarily run by chiropractors. The majority of all doctors trained in the ’70s, ’80s, and 90s including medical doctors, chiropractors, veterinarians, doctors of osteopath and PHDs, were all trained by Dr. Hobbins.
Dr. Hobbins was the only MD who made thermology a lifetime career.
In 2012 Dr. Hobbins was the first doctor awarded a lifetime achievement award by The American Academy of Thermography.
In 1994, due to insurance fraud, medical insurance stopped paying for thermography. This resulted in most M.D.s dropping thermography and the AAT declined from hundreds in membership to only a handful. This action resulted in limited thermography research as compared to the previous decades.
This in turn led to many interpreters and members of the two original thermographic societies becoming complacent, which resulted in shoddy thermography and interpretation. Dr. Hobbins spoke at the 2012 AAT, hoping to influence higher standards for this academy and the IACT, since many of the M.D.s, D.C.s, D.O.s, and P.H.D.s are no longer meeting the minimum standard requirements outlined by thermographic studies. However, both of these academies do teach thermography diagnostics for pain, but I am only speaking about breast thermography.
When I realized that the majority of breast thermography interpreters, including Dr. Hobbins’s students associated with these two academies, were no longer meeting the minimum standard requirements I asked for his support to start the first breast thermography academy and non-profit to ensure women would receive the highest quality breast thermography. The Women’s Academy of Breast Thermography is founded on thermographic research, including Dr. Hobbins, and ensures all members and clinics are performing thermography correctly. This is the first breast thermography academy and is the first academy founded by a female physician.
Innovator in breast cancer treatments
“In 1956, Ray Lawson showed increased heat on the breast surface and venous blood of breast cancer. Gros and Guthrie of Strasbourg, France, Pistolesi of Italy, and Atsumi of Japan correlated neoplasia (presence of new, abnormal growth of tissue) and thermal breast skin signal. Because of believing that heat was generated by the tumor, it was thought that the thermal signal would be directly related to the size of the tumor and therefore was not an early warning signal or good screening tool. Not until 1978, when Jean of Mellon-Carnegie University demonstrated an angiogenesis factor in breast cancer and breast tissue, were we able to find TO tumors. British surgeon Lloyd Williams, of Bath, England, showed survival was directly related to the thermal expression better than any size, tumor marker or other method of calculating survival. This was done in the late 1960s and again in the mid-80s by the same surgeon.
In 1988, Judah Folkman from Harvard demonstrated that angiogenesis was necessary for neoplasia to move from in situ to invasive disease. He also demonstrated that an enzymatic stimulation of the vasculature took place from this angiogenesis factor. Presently, 300 or more drugs are being tested in stage 3 FDA trial to halt neoagiogensis.
The 21st century paradigm is that when a normal breast thermal study changes, time for antiangiogenesis and expected thermal turn-off as demonstration of tumor regression will be the protocol. This will occur without identifying the tumor.
The thermal signal precedes clinical (including x-ray, ultrasound, diaphanscopy and MRI) by six to 12 months. Now early detection and acceptable nontoxic therapy is available and will be the protocol in the decades ahead for conquering this dreaded disease of women.”
William Hobbins M.D. American Thermographic Meeting, Orlando, FL, November 2002
Dr. Hobbins spearheaded several alternative treatments for estrogen receptor positive breast cancer, which is 80 percent of breast cancers. His theory was each woman should be treated according to her wishes and each body responds different to treatment, what may work for one patient, may not have effective results with others.
Progressive breast cancer treatments performed by Dr. Hobbins
Dr. Hobbins used high levels of testosterone to shrink breast cancer tumors, which is called endocrine antagonist. This is also used in reverse, high levels of estrogen to treat prostate cancer. I’ve recently noticed new research and treatments in this testosterone treatment protocol he inducted 40 years ago.
Tamoxifen is completely misunderstood and misused. Dr. Hobbins used it as treatment before surgery (breast cancer protocol is first surgery than Tamoxifen) to shrink or melt the breast cancer tumor in order to reduce the number of mastectomies or lumpectomies he would have to perform. If used correctly on a carcinoma, that had not metastasized, Tamoxifen will cut off the estrogen, the fuel to this tumor, and cause it to shrink allowing him to not only save a life but save the breast as well. Dr. Hobbins proved for several decades with thousands of patients that antiangiogenesis treatment is successful. It surprises me there are no alternative breast cancer centers preforming this remarkable simple treatment.
He had many patients “cure” their cancer with nutrition and had 2 patients “cure” their cancer by eating a dozen raw eggs a day, keep in mind under strict supervision, thermography, mammography and MRI, as he could perform surgery quickly if needed. Nutrition was a vital requirement in Dr. Hobbins’s protocols as he says it’s the basis for all health, especially removing all estrogen and phytoestrogens (plant estrogens).
In the early years the majority of women’s thermogram were non-vascular or “normal.” In the 80s, to his puzzlement, he started seeing increased vascularity in the breasts. Being a medical detective he realized that it was due to soy, which was starting to be used as an emulsifier in processed foods. He became one of the first doctors to warn patients against the harmful side effects of soy to the breasts.
Dr. Hobbins was the first doctor to warn against the harmful side effects of flax, the strongest plant estrogen. He has encouraged me to stand on his shoulders and continue his research, which I have. I specialize and study hormones and/or supplements and their effect on the breasts. My first pilot study was on flax with the intention of proving my mentor was incorrect. Looking back I was incredibly naïve. My flax pilot study showed increase risk in six short weeks in addition to dangerous health side effects which required an immediate end to the study. Nothing like research to make you a believer! This has led me to exposing other harmful phytoestrogens including bio-identical estrogen, black cohosh, red clover, sesame, hummus and many more supplements including natural estrogen blockers.
The Pink Bow - Breast Thermography Research and Education was founded in Dr. Hobbins honor so that all women would be afforded the most progressive thermographic screening and most importantly preventive protocols.
My purpose has become intertwined with Dr. Hobbins and as his protégé I’m continuing his work
“If I’ve seen farther than other men it’s because I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants.”
Sir Isaac Newton
Dr. Hobbins has repeated this quote to me several times over the years. I believe it is to remind me of where we’ve been, how far we’ve come, to honor our teachers and more importantly to wonder with awe, where we are headed.
Based on Dr. Hobbins’ research and teachings I wrote the first book on breast thermography and how to dramatically reduce risk for breast cancer using thermograms from my own research and studies. I am also the creator of the estrogen-free movement educating families on the effect of estrogen on the entire family unit and how to easily remove them from the diet and household.
Dr. Hobbins was a man ahead of his time. His groundbreaking research in mammography, leading researcher in thermography, his progressive breast cancer treatments and preventative protocols have made him “The Father of Early Detection and Prevention.” His conviction and determination is why you have heard of mammography and thermography. Dr. Hobbins overcame much adversity, and with perseverance and dedication, saved thousands of lives. He is a brilliant, loving and generous doctor. He is my mentor and dear friend.
My breast health education, book and causes are solely due to Dr. Hobbins’ accomplishments and unparalleled knowledge. I hope the fortunate women who come across this blog realize the long and difficult journey that Dr. Hobbins has made in efforts to bring the information and technology that saves women’s lives to as many as possible. Hold on for an amazing and life-changing experience, as that is what breast thermography and Dr. Hobbins has created for me. Until now, he has truly been an unsung hero.
Join our rebellion. Save a life.
Made with heaps of love, insurmountable work, oodles of research, the usual blood, sweat, tears, and of course sacrifice of my social life and a few minor melt downs.
