Cancer as a Parasitic Disease The link between cancer and parasitic disease can be explored in parasite-animal models in which the parasite transforms normal cells into cancer cells. In fact, a wide array of anti-parasitic drugs are potent anti-cancer agents, lending credence to the idea of cancer as a parasitic disease.

The Failure of Global Polio Eradication In 1958 everyone in my school was given a sugar cube with Sabin's oral polio vaccine, a live attenuated virus causing infection in the gut, but not neuro-virulent. It was soon recognized that this harmless polio vaccine would occasionally revert back to a neurovirulent strain, causing paralytic polio in the recipient, as well as contacts.

Making Your Health Insurance Company Pay Up Quite commonly patients report their health insurance claim has been denied by the insurance company.

Bioidentical Hormones Beneficial After Hysterectomy Dr. Parker followed 30,000 women for 24 years after their hysterectomy. Half had ovaries removed and half had ovaries preserved. The group with ovaries removed did, in fact, have a lower rate of ovarian and breast cancer. However, this was overshadowed by a marked increase in death from heart disease and other cancers. The group with the ovaries removed had a higher all cause mortality rate..

Huge Loss for Synthetic Hormones in Court Case A 112 million dollar punitive award says loudly that the jury was outraged by the "wanton and reckless†conduct by Wyeth for peddling a cancer causing pill. The punitive damages were awarded to two breast cancer victims who took Wyeth's synthetic hormone, Prempro, all the while thinking it safe.

Mad Over Mammogram Guidelines, Slowing the Runaway Train The mainstream media, government and corporate medicine have strongly opposed the revised guidelines with slick marketing techniques, and fear mongering with appeals to emotion rather than evidence based medicine. Kathleen Sebelius, for example, appeared on national television advising women to ignore her own Department's task force panel, and start your mammogram screening at 40. These opposing views avoid the real issues...

Iodine Treats Breast Cancer, the Evidence is Overwhelming Clinicians such as David Brownstein MD are reporting breast cancer remission in women supplementing with Iodine tablets. Current research from Mexico, Japan and India reveals the exact molecular mechanisms involved. Iodine kills breast cancer cells, while sparing normal ones. There is now overwhelming evidence for the routine use of Iodine in breast cancer prevention and treatment.

BioIdentical Hormone Disinformation From AP Medical Writer, Marilynn Marchione A USA Today article trashing bioidentical hormones caught my attention because it contained almost pure misinformation. Written by Associated Press AP medical writer Marilynn Marchione, this syndicated article was broadcast over the news media. Marchione's writing is a perfect example of trash, or junk journalism. I find it astounding that the news media force feeds this kind of nonsense to the public.

PSA Screening for Cancer, A Failed Medical Experiment PSA is Prostate Specific Antigen, a protein discovered in 1986, and a marker for prostate cancer and inflammation. This article will show you that PSA screening for prostate cancer is, in fact, a 20 year failed medical experiment which provides little or no benefit in saving lives. The large US study, the PLCO, showed no mortality benefit from PSA screening.

Dangers at the Grocery Store Is Your SuperMarket a Minefield ?Recently, I went shopping with my 11 year old nephew, and was shocked and unprepared for the experience. Like other kids his age, he preferred diet sodas containing aspartame and brominated vegetable oil (BVO). He also preferred processed foods high in MSG.

Obama's Health Reform in Jeopardy? Don't You Believe it Although it may appear that corporate medicine's opposition is strong enough to kill health care reform, I would argue that Obama's health reform is now a slam dunk inevitability. Not only that, Obama's public health plan will mean the end of the health insurance industry. And, I say good riddance to this bloated evil empire.

The Unreliable TSH Lab Test Conventional primary care doctors use the wrong lab panel. They never do a Free T3 test which is the most informative thyroid lab test, and instead rely on the TSH which is not a direct measure of thyroid function and can in fact be unreliable.

Wheatgrass, Natural Medicine in the Kitchen This case report about wheatgrass intrigued me, as it suggested a biologically active agent in the wheatgrass juice with a beneficial effect on breast cancer. Over the years, I had seen wheatgrass juice sold at various juice bars, and have even tried it a few times without thinking much of it. However, this story motivated me to look further.

Cannabinoids, Wonder Drugs of the 21st Century Although cannabis was a medicinal plant for thousands of years, its medical use was suppressed and banned throughout most of the 20th century. While banned in the US, major scientific breakthroughs were made in Israel, Spain, Italy and Brazil. These breakthroughs are propelling the natural plant compounds called cannabinoids into "the wonder drugs of the 21st century".

Why We Need Single Payer Health Care These two arguments in favor of a single payer heath insurance system (moral and economic) are so compelling, that one must conclude the only reason we don't have single payer now is because of lack of representative government. The obvious conclusion is that our government does not serve the people who elected them.

Molecular Biology Trumps Darwin To celebrate Darwin's Birthday, Science Magazine ran a special devoted to evolution. An article by Stern and Orgogozo entitled "Is Genetic Evolution Predictable" presented a stunning break from neo-Darwinism. The authors presented a convincing refutation of the "Blind Watch Maker" argument of Richard Dawkins. Quite the contrary, the "Watchmaker" had his eyes wide open.
