The <strong>Champion</strong> • Wednesday 30 January 2013Screening firm refutesmisleading advert claimReport by David RavenTHE owner of a screening company that claimsit can detect the early possible signs of breastcancer has refuted a watchdog’s findings that itwas guilty of ‘misleading advertising.’Rosa Hughes set up Medical Thermal ImagingLimited, in College Road, Crosby with the aimof helping to detect early signs of breast cancer,after recovering from the disease herself.Since then she says they have screened morethan 2,000 women using their thermalimaging machine at a cost of £195 for aone–hour session.It is claimed that thermal imaging revealsphysiological changes happening in the body,with active tumours being detected via heatpatterns picked up on when the results are sentto America.However, following a recent magazineadvertisement, the Advertising StandardsAgency (ASA) have accused the company ofbreaching several codes of conduct and of‘misleading advertising.’The advert – in a publication entitled ‘WhatDoctors Don’t Tell You’ – was reported to theASA by the Nightingale Collaboration.The watchdog subsequently found it to havebreached rules regarding misleadingadvertising, substantiation and medicines,medical devices, health–related products andbeauty products.Rosa though says the allegations are a resultof a ‘witch hunt’ conducted by those jealous ofher success.She said: “We have been harassed. I’m a50–year–old woman who has had breastcancer and my sole purpose in life is to makeavailable this revolutionary screening tool. ItBreast cancer survivor Rosarejects watchdog’s findingsRosa Hughes with her husband PhilCode NAshows up the early stages of the disease and it isused in hospitals all over the world.“This is my life’s work and the fact I’m gettingthis attention at the moment means I must bedoing something right.”CThe ASA report states: ‘An ad seen in WhatDoctors Don’t Tell You magazine for MedicalThermal Imaging stated 100% safe breastscreenings.’The Nightingale Collaboration challengedwhether the claims were misleading and couldbe substantiated.’Medical Thermal Imaging Ltd. told us, byphone, that, unlike mammography thatdetected anatomical changes, thermographyidentified abnormalities early as it detectedchanges in physiology.’They said abnormalities released nitrousoxide which was then converted tonitroglycerin and this was detected bythermography.“They said because this process occurredearly on in the process when an abnormalitywas developing, it would be undetectable withmammography.’The ASA asked Medical Thermal Imaging tosupply robust clinical evidence to support theclaim that their product could detectabnormalities before mammography and thatit was medically recognised.“This information was not supplied. Becausethe advertiser did not provide robust evidenceto substantiate the claim, we concluded the adwas misleading.’The ad breached several codes (and) mustnot appear again in its current form. We toldMedical Thermal Imaging Ltd to hold robustevidence before making efficacy claims.’Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 5Gardens grant bidTHE Friends of Waterloo Seafront Gardenswill hold two open meetings to gather ideasfor a Heritage Lottery Fund grant bid of£100,000.After initial discussions with the lotteryfund they have been given the nod to startgathering people’s memories of thegardens, which are coming up to 80 yearsold.The consultation meetings will be held atCrosby Lakeside Adventure Centre onWednesday, February 6 starting at 10.30amand 7pm respectively.
