Minerals that Help in Diabetes
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
Both chromium and vanadium improve insulin sensitivity and are valuable adjuncts to treating type 2 diabetes. Measuring the insulin level is very important and tips us off, even in the presence of a normal blood sugar level, that pre-diabetes or the metabolic syndrome is present. Chromium must be used at dosages of 1000 micrograms per day to be effective. Meats,...
Minimizing Stroke

Misleading Drug Ads
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
Big pharma has no conscience when it comes to selling drugs. The FDA does not adequately regulate DTC ads and we become brainwashed by ads that give the perspective that products are far better than they are.
Mistakes are Common in US Hospitals
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
About one in three people in the US will encounter some kind of medical mistake during a hospitalization. The number of mistakes has been seriously underestimated as new studies show that there are about 10 times more errors than previously believed. We cannot depend on health care practitioners to admit their errors unless there's no other option. A tool...
Mitochondria: The Achilles Heel of Cancer Cells
submitted by: admin on 06/24/2016
Cancer cell mitochondria are the powerhouse and Achilles heel of tumor growth and metastasis. Cancer cells consume more than 5 times the energy than normal cells. This is contradictory to Otto Warberg's Nobel Prize winning thesis that cancer cells produced only limited amounts of ATP by burning glucose (glycolysis). Apparently, Warberg was measuring...
Moderate vs Intense Exercise

submitted by: admin on 09/08/2020
With all that is happening in the world today, it is paramount to stay
centered and remain positive. We're all in this together and the only
way out is together! With the exposure of what the pharmaceutical
company, Moderna, is getting, it is becoming very clear that the NIH,
CDC, FDA, WHO, Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates and others...

Overweight and obese people can benefit from a decade of health benefits by losing just 10% of their weight, even if they regain this weight later in the decade.

Modifying the GI Microflora Lowers Blood Sugar
submitted by: admin on 07/10/2014
While it has been suspected that the GI microflora have a profound effect on human physiology, there has not been a lot of data supporting that the changes in physiology determine the resulting composition of the microflora. Now there is a study supporting that the microflora can be altered and this can change insulin sensitivity and decrease the risk for developing...
Mole Mapping with Adrian Boling

Molecular Breast Imaging for Breast Cancer Screening
submitted by: admin on 11/26/2024
A novel new test is described that has not yet come into clinical practice that takes up a radioactive dye that puts out gamma rays. It is accurate but obviously has dangers related to radiation exposure. This is a potential way of screening women with dense breasts (fibrocystic breasts).
Mammograms are not either an accurate or sensitive test in women with...

More Diabetes Drugs Found to Cause Cancer
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute in August published an article showing that both Avandia and Actos increase bladder cancer by more than 400% compared to baseline incidence in diabetics. These drugs account for more than 20% of all drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes. Actos ranks 9th in the sales of all pharmaceutical drugs. This is remarkable...
More Harm Than Good in Women Over 70 From Mammograms
submitted by: admin on 04/01/2014
In a paper presented at the European Breast Cancer Conference on March 21, 2014, studies out of the Netherlands concluded that doing mammograms in women from age 70-75 as a screening test did not reduce the incidence of advanced stage breast cancer or save lives. They did report that doing mammograms in this age group led to unnecessary overdiagnosis and overtreatment...
More Polypill Baloney
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
The polypill is the most ridiculous idea I've come across in years. It is designed to contain Norvasc, Cozaar, hydrochlorothiazide, and Zocor and is recommended for people over the age of 50 as prophylaxis for cardiovascular disease. It could be purchased over the counter and without seeing a physician!
The study done to justify this position...

A meta-analysis of 61 studies that was published in the prestigious Public Library of Science looked at the relationship between antidepressant usage and breast and ovarian cancer. There was a statistically significant increase in risk for both these cancers in women on SSRI antidepressants. The findings remain controversial because women with breast cancer who...

Most Cancers are Preventable Today
submitted by: admin on 07/06/2016
An article published in Science Translational Medicine in March of 2012 concluded that 1/3 of all cancers were caused by smoking and another 20% from being overweight or obese. However, diet, exercise, sleep, and exposure to environmental toxins likely account for another 30-40% of all cancers. Genetic factors are not that common. The American Cancer Society...
