Although on the surface it appears that using ultrasound radiation to treat
breast inflammations is a good idea, I feel very uncomfortable with it in
view of the research done on ultrasonagraphy used during pregnancy. The
MArieskind studies demonstrated that six generations of helthy cells are
mutated after even small doses of ultrasound. Might this same effect apply
when using it on the breast and what implications does this have for the
breast tissue and the breastmilk?

When there are so many safe options for treatment including plain ice,
homeopathy, some botanicals, rest, and massage why use something that is
potentially risky.

Now I may be off base here so I would like clarification or confirmation on
the downside of ultrasound radiation on cell health.

Thanks.

Alison
