Move by Berkson

We are MOST of us going to be living longer, but how will we be doing it? I was driving home from a two-hour work out at the gym yesterday and I saw a sign for an estate sale. So I parked and went in. I saw a very old couple looking very pale, over weight, on the couch, with two walkers parked close by. I sat down and asked if they were the owners, and what was the reason for the sale, did they mind sharing where they were moving. They were done with stairs, cooking, walking and taking care [...]

Scientific Nutritional Step to Protect Against Colon Cancer or If You Have it, To Keep It From Spreading

Colon Cancer Colon cancer is nasty. You can get it at any age. Medical guidelines recommend starting colonoscopy testing around 50 years of age. But colon cancer has now been striking earlier and earlier. It comes on silently and deadly seemingly out of left field. Colon cancer has two dangerous traits: 1. These cells are very resistant to all known treatments. 2. They hide. Resistance: Colon cancer cells are very hard to kill. Colon cancer cells turn off a protein called HOXA5. This is a group of cells that, when a fetus is developing, help the mom’s body figure out which [...]

Estrogen Naïveté Needs to Wake Up

Estrogen’s a real complex and intriguing hormone. Medicine and science have been confused about estrogen for a long time now. Estrogen is sultry and ancient. She was the first hormone that existed on earth. She’s been around longer than most other signaling molecules (much of life inside the human body occurs with one cell sending an email to another; this is a signaling system). Estrogen is critical for many life processes and in most life forms. The estrogen emailing system in the fruit fly, gorilla, men and women and boys and girls is all the same. Each of us needs estrogen [...]

Is fish oil and prostate a good or bad match?

The media leaped onto headline news about a week ago that increasing levels of fish-type oils in the blood might significantly increase the risk of prostate cancer, especially aggressive cancers. At first blush this appeared credible and horrible news both at the same time. It was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and run by investigators from the prestigious Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, WA. Worn out patients, tired of yo-yoing research might understandably moan, “Oh no, now what?” But if you look deeper into what the study assessed and what was reported, it’s actually a pretty fishy story. [...]

Bioidentical Hormone News

Benefit vs Risk Does hormone replacement have more benefit than risk? Emerging science says yes! 2013 research demonstrates that bioidentical hormone replacement (BHRT) is a sensible consideration for most peri and postmenopausal women (and also for men). However, science based, sensible hormonal replacement must be: 1.     Individualized 2.     Soundly tested and monitored 3.     The entire hormone family evaluated 4.     Key nutrients that assist in hormone signaling addressed 5.     Digestion evaluated to ensure key nutrient absorption 6.     Plus, there now there are even new answers for women (and men) months out from diagnosis of hormonally dependent diseases. There is a revolution happening [...]

Why is hormone resistance (inability to deliver the hormone’s message) on the rise?

When I tell folks I specialize in hormone health, many agonizing times they say, “Hey, do you know the old joke about how to make a whore moan?” The long-standing answer used to be, “Well, just don’t pay her.” But there’s a new answer. And it has pertinence to us all. “The most up-to-date way to make a whore moan is to block her ability to work.” This is the new hormone resistance. Many of us think that hormones, either self-made or taken as hormone replacement or during teenage-hood or pregnancy, simply function as they’re supposed to. Once in the blood [...]

What’s nuts about nuts: They reverse blood vessel plaque!

Up till now we have thought that it’s pretty impossible to get rid of dangerous blood vessel plaque build-up without a rotor-rooter. I remember a physician told me just at the beginning of this year (2013) that he has never seen plaque reverse. Well, researchers in Spain measured the thickness of plaque in patients consuming varied diets and they found one food group, that if added to a healthy diet, reversed plaque. Several handfuls of nuts a day won the prize. Adding mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts) significantly reversed dangerous plaque-build up. The research showed that consuming the healthy Mediterranean [...]
