Bacon-GATE

MEAT – The World Health Organization’s released findings that consumption of MEAT (red meat and processed meat) can increase cancer risks. The World Health Organization classified the consumption of RED MEAT as probably CARCINOGENIC (cancer causing), right up there with smoking and asbestos. After days of headlines proclaiming that bacon and hot dogs cause cancer, the WHO released a clarification statement, as they got so much pressure from so many meat lobbyists. It referred to a statement by the International Agency of Cancer Research that said you don’t have to stop eating hot dogs and the like altogether, just cut them [...]

Hormone Comedy Carlin-like Riff

Hormone Comedy Carlin-like Riff by Berkson at Vegas Hormone Conference Jan 2015 (So funny, move over Seinfeld) There is so much confusion in all of health care but it's in your face with hormones. How to test. How to take. When to take. When not to take. Today, some researchers say that estrogen replacement is so heart and vascular protective that replacement is even indicated in in some patients who have even had a history of blood clots. Most patients on hormone replacement, even in their 90's (and the docs here gave case report after case report) get off statins, off [...]

You are what you eat… and so is your BRAIN. By Berkson

In 2015 evidence linked the Mediterranean diet to less brain shrinkage and healthier, larger brain volume. Size matters. Especially with your brain. Many aging boomers fears these days are: will I outlive my wits or my money, but without my wits, what good is my money? The good news is, we have some control over the health of our brain. A large study on 31, 456 middle-aged and elderly subjects from 40 countries and 733 centers, was published on line in Neurology May 6, 2015. During 5 years of follow-up, cognitive decline occurred in 16.8% of participants. After adjusting for known [...]

Full Circle Yoga Trip

Following a Feeling Last fall I was walking around the parks and streets and saw a large group of people coming out of the Renaissance hotel in Great Hills. I had not been inside that hotel for years. But for some reason I was "drawn" to go and check it out. There inside were yogini's in whites; they were "Sat Namers" from the Kundalini/Yogi Bhajan group whom I studied with many years ago. In fact, I had gone on their first India trip in 1971 with them. I looked closely. Oh my. There was Sat ji that I hadn't seen in [...]

Creativity

Creativity A fascinating Stanford study was just published in May 28, 2015 in Scientific Reports. It’s human research and the investigators say they have found new brain centers for creativity. And with it comes new understandings of what blocks creativity. These researchers say that we now know that much of creativity comes from a brain center called the cerebellum. Historically, the cerebellum has most often been viewed as the brain's practice-makes-perfect, higher learning and organization center. Not a creative center. The cerebellum is where we activate executive-control (plan, organize and manage daily activities). If your cerebellum is working great, you have [...]

Coffee and your heart, its PROS and CONS

Caffeine For years I have promoted the positive effects of caffeine. The older mentors I was lucky enough to work with often sipped this brew. Caffeine is making a comeback, even for heart murmurs and atrial fib! Caution The two places caffeine seems to need caution are: overconsumption with glaucoma as caffeine does raise eye pressure for a short time, and if you get too much in contrast to insufficient alkaline dietary elements like plant foods, then, for some folks it can threaten bone health. A study presented during a featured poster session at the Heart Rhythm Society 2015 Scientific Sessions [...]

Plastic and Breast Cancer Treatment by Berkson

Phthalates. Hard to pronounce let alone spell. These are ubiquitous. They are found in your fridge, home and office. They are used in the production of flexible vinyl, like the thin plastic bags in the grocery store, even Whole Foods, and that wood-like looking but not wood floor. They are used in plastics that package food or in presses that make olive oil. They are in perfume and nail polish. Well, cell studies (looking at cells in the lab) show that phthalates are not good for cancer. We had known they promote initiation of cancer. But now these new cells studies [...]

Hormone Wars

We are about to lose our rights to get bioidentical hormones. Every day in practice, those docs utilizing individualized bioidentical hormone replacement for patients, hear that men and women's lives are given back to them. They think better. Sleep better. Close the deal at work better. Look better. And have more hope about aging. All this is done with science-based, individualized, bioidentical hormone replacement along with optimizing nutrition and digestion. Individualized bioidentical hormones also can "treat" or be “adjunctive care” for many long term disabling health issues such as endometriosis, benign breast disease, inflammatory bowel disease, some neurodegenerative illnesses and more. [...]

Med Student Rallies

In the fall of 2015 we saw nation wide rallies held by medical students calling for SINGLE PAYER NOW... meaning Medicare-for-ALL. Hundreds of medical students in 16 states demonstrated in favor of extending Medicare coverage to ALL citizens. No one left behind. They are calling for a single-payer healthcare program for the entire US. These are Students for a National Health Program, which is an arm of Physicians for a National Health Program. They say 35,000 American adults died last year that would have been saved if they had health insurance. In Chicago some students from five local medical schools held [...]

Recipe Fall Pasta Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo or Not

Ingredients • Box of Ancient Harvest Spaghetti (Gluten Free High Protein Pasta, won’t taste as good with rice pasta but can still use it in case you can’t consume corn, as 20% of Ancient Harvest is corn). • Paleo version: Substitute for pasta “spiralized” zucchini/yellow squash noodles to lower carbs if you desire. • Bunch of Chard • Head of Broccoli • Himalayan Sea Salt or regular Sea Salt • Granulated Garlic (I like Raw from Whole Foods better than roasted but either will do). • Organic Olive Oil (best from glass as less plastic, endocrine disruptor exposure and better flavor). [...]
