In Rachel's Environment & health news this important topic is met head on.29 The author, Peter Montague, says that breast cancer kills 46,000 women in the U.S. each year, cutting short women's lives by twenty years. The human and economic costs are enormous. But Mr. Montague fears that a medical establishment dominated by male doctors pretends that the breast cancer epidemic will one day be reversed by some miracle cure, which we have now been promised for 50 years.

They're a familiar list if you've been paying attention to health news over the past decade: High blood pressure, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol, high ratio of total cholestrol to good, and the relatively unknown but critical matter of too-small bad cholesterol particles. When insulin isn't working properly, it takes longer than it should to store the fat you just ate. Because of that delay, your liver is being flooded with fatty acids.

Mark Konlee editor of Positive health news says, "I have never ceased to be amazed at what this ointment can accomplish. Last fall, I met 'Dan' a local resident who told me he had a bad case of plantar warts and athlete's foot. When he showed me the soles of his feet, it was the worst looking set of feet I have ever observed." Mark made some GOOT, put it in a small jar, and gave it to Dan. He told him to keep the bottle in the refrigerator (shelf life of about 30 days) and put a little on his feet every day. Two weeks later he met Dan again.

A distributor sent me a four-page tabloid called health news (vol. 3, no. 2), which bore headlines such as "An Ancient Cure from Paradise," "Healing From Across the Seas," and "No More Wheelchair!" On the front page it states that noni is "a healing fruit" that "helps cancer." And what is health news? It looks like a regular newspaper, but is produced by a company that specializes in "Third Party literature for network marketing distributors.

And in that time, I've criticized just about every player in conventional medicine, from the FDA and Big Pharma to non-profits like the American Cancer Society. While criticism certainly has its place in any public debate about the future of health, there comes a point when most people are really just interested in the SOLUTIONS. They want to know what works, period. They know pharmaceuticals are dangerous. They know the toxic additives in the food supply are deadly. They know that governments and corporations don't care one bit about the health of the people. That's all old news.

Whatever the amount, according to Rachel's Environmental and health news, "IGF-1 in milk is not destroyed by pasteurization."19 It's intact in the milk we drink. Not only is there more IGF-1 in the milk, it is not destroyed in the stomach. The Canadian Gaps Analysis Report said IGF-1 "can survive the GI tract environment" and is "absorbed intact." The report says, "The full significance of this finding also was not investigated [in the FDA's evaluation]."9 The amount of IGF-1 that gets absorbed may be much higher due to the fact that it is mixed in with milk.

In addition, research by Braunstein (1999), reported as a Reuters health news Release, indicated that testosterone delivered through a transdermal patch increased women's perceptions of orgasmic pleasure. Some androgens, along with DHEA, decline steadily from early adulthood (Longcope 1998). Other androgens show more decline closer to menopause. Treatment with androgens is safe and effective for these dysfunctions when given at low levels and when paired with progesterone (Slayden 1998). Many women lose sexual desire after giving birth.

International health news, http:// www. o ilofpisces.com/atherosclerosis .html) • After angioplasty, 194 patients were randomly assigned to receive either 4-5 grams a day of fish oil (3150 mg of EPA and 1350 mg of DHA for 6 months) or instructions to eat a low fat (25% of total calories), low cholesterol diet (100 mg a day) without fish oil. At the end of the trial, 36% of those not receiving the fish oil showed signs of restenosis (closure of previously opened arteries). The rate of restenosis in the fish oil group was about 19%.

Customized Nutritional Healing When it comes to food, most of us have heard the health news. We know we're supposed to order our fish poached, with no butter, and avoid fried food like the bubonic plague. And—oh, yeah—shovel five servings of fruits and vegetables onto our plates each day. At least that's what researchers, doctors and nutritionists are saying is good for us. But if you turn to a far more ancient and less scientific source, you'll hear a much different story.

Harrison from our health news edition on noni juice. But we have passed on your information to her office so that she can contact you. Thank you, Triple R. Publishing, Inc." Unfortunately, that was the last I have heard from or about the elusive Dr. Harrison. The noni sales force maintains a toll-free telephone hot-line where both company officials and gratified patients tell their stories. I listened to one of these sessions and heard a cancer patient state that he stopped getting chemotherapy-associated infections when he took noni juice for just a few days.

And what is health news? It looks like a regular newspaper, but is produced by a company that specializes in "Third Party literature for network marketing distributors." It is sold by the bundle to multilevel marketers who use the mails to recruit new customers, who then themselves become salesmen in an expanding pyramid. You will not find a single cloud in the blue Polynesian skies of Noni-dom. Noni, it appears, cures bowel obstruction, chronic fatigue, severe back pain, menstrual problems, sinus congestion, knee blow-out, water on the knee, and severe arthritis.

If you're like most people who stay current on health news, you're swimming in a sea of claims, not just for vitamins and minerals but also for a cornucopia of strange concoctions that promise to wipe out everything from hangnails to cancer. Being a smart consumer, you don't want to get duped. But how do you tell the difference between promise and puffery? In this chapter we discuss some of the tabloidlike claims being made for many popular supplements today and what science really has to say about them. As you'll see, it's kind of a rogues' gallery.

Oxymorons: The Myth of a U.S. Health Care System J.D. Kleinke See book keywords and concepts

Despite the failure of managed care to improve clinical outcomes for those it covers, the public health news in the United States is actually quite good. With the exception of a widespread rise in diabetes incidence, health status for the nation as a whole is improving. Heart disease patients are living longer and better, cancer mortality rates are declining, immunization rates are up, and as a whole our life expectancy continues to expand—all remarkable feats considering how difficult it is to make such gains in a society as affluent and sophisticated as ours.

And it is no accident that most of the national advertising on the network news broadcasts, in publications dedicated to health news, and splashed across (or hiding behind) most health care Internet sites comes from one source: the drug companies. Consider a front-page article in the Wall Street Journal, a story repeated by two of the four major news networks the same day, and featured on several major Internet portals over the days that followed. According to the report, "The rate of heart attack or death alone was reduced by about one-third to 6.3% for aggressive treatment, compared with 9.

So, if milk is your thing (and we do know adults who drink more of it than their children do), stay tuned for the latest in health news about this age-old beverage. We'd like to mention three health issues where milk is a hot topic. Better blood pressure. Scott Ackley and his co-workers at the American Heart Association surveyed 5,000 California residents and found that men with normal blood pressure typically drank twice as much milk as those who suffered from high blood pressure. Better bone health. At the University of Pittsburgh, Rivka Black Sandler, Ph.D.

A Few of the Theories DIETARY CHOLESTEROL If you were keeping abreast of health news in the early 1920s, you would have witnessed the birth of the theory that too much cholesterol causes heart disease. It was a result of feeding a diet high in cholesterol, especially eggs, to a group of nonhuman subjects. When the vascular systems of the animals were examined, the considerable erosion, in the form of plaques in the vascular system, was attributed to the rabbits' diet. This theory has not been totally proved yet, although it is given great credence in conventional medical circles.
