 The PSA testing rate in the seattle area was 5.39 times that of Connecticut, and the prostate biopsy rate was 2.20 times that of Connecticut during 1987-1990. The 10-year cumulative incidence of radical prostatectomy and external beam radiotherapy up to 1996 were 2.7% and 3.9% for seattle men compared with 0.5% and 3.1% for Connecticut men. Yet, the adjusted rate of prostate cancer-related deaths up to 1997 was similar for seattle and Connecticut.
American Cancer Society guidelines (2005) call for doctors to offer PSA testing and digital rectal examinations to men age 50 or older. |

 A sign at the border of seattle read, 'Will the last one to leave seattle please turn off the lights?' Schmidt made his third and final career move. He would continue on with his consciousness research, a physicist among parapsychologists. He relocated to Durham, North Carolina, and sought work at Rhine's laboratory, the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man, carrying on his RNG research with Rhine himself.
A few years later, word of Schmidt's machines filtered through to Princeton University and came to the attention of a young university student in the school of engineering. |

| Alexandra Ramdin of seattle was the mother of two young daughters ages two and five when her family took part in a University of Washington study of seattle area preschoolers to determine if consuming organic foods truly reduced children's pesticide exposures.36
She kept a food diary for three days to distinguish between organic and conventional foods. Children were then classified as having consumed either organic or conventional diets based on analysis of the diary data (and other factors such as residential pesticide use, which were also recorded for each home). |

American Cancer Society guidelines (2005) call for doctors to offer PSA testing and digital rectal examinations to men age 50 or older. However, the American Academy of Family Physicians claims there is insufficient evidence to make a recommendation for or against routine screening for prostate cancer using the PSA or the digital rectal exam.

 The Conversation Cafe concept, which began in seattle and is now active in many cities, revolves around small groups of people engaged in thoughtful discussions, not debates. Each conversation focuses on a particular topic and lasts for about one and one-half hours. Before the actual conversation begins, participants agree to honor and follow several ground rules. These ground rules are good to follow in life.
The exact wording of the Conversation Cafe agreements varies somewhat between locations. |

 Furthermore, he notes, a number of cities across America have taken strong stands, including seattle, Oakland, Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
As various cities and states have been booting out sugary drinks or foods (or at least limiting sales), the beverage industry has been beleaguered, to say the least. |

 University of Washington in seattle conducted a phone interview study of 204 women one year after they had received a prescription for HRT. They found that 40% of these women were no longer taking HRT as originally prescribed. Reasons commonly given by the women included vaginal bleeding, anxiety, and nervousness. And this was before the large studies of the past few years showed the major health risks and lack of health benefits of HRT.

NORTHERN CANADA MESMERIZED ME THE FIRST TIME I flew Over the pole from seattle to London on a clear day. While the other passengers enjoyed some Hollywood epic, I drank in the vast plain of bare rock and shallow lakes crawling by six miles below. For tens of millions of years before the onset of the glacial eta, deep soil and weathered rock covered northern Canada. Redwood trees gtew in the Arctic. |

 Donald Malins, a biochemist from seattle, reported a new method for identifying structural changes in the DNA of breast tissue. By using an instrument that bounces infrared radiation off the DNA and by analyzing the signals via a sophisticated computer, he is able to follow the structural damage to the DNA caused by free radicals.5
Researchers agree with Malins that the development of cancer is a multistage process that usually takes decades to develop. In adults cancer may take twenty or even thirty years to develop from the initial mutation of the DNA to its full-blown manifestation. |

 Johanna Lampe, PhD, RD, a researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, seattle, believes it's most prudent for breast cancer survivors to use only moderate amounts of soy foods, eating them several times a week as part of a healthy plant-based diet. The ACS seconds that advice and also advises breast cancer survivors to avoid more concentrated sources of soy, such as soy-containing pills or powders or supplements containing isolated or concentrated isoflavones. |

| Flum, an associate professor of surgery at the University of Washington in seattle, agrees that surgery is not always necessary. "There are tons of people who have hernias who don't even know they have them," he says.
There are men who have had hernias for 40 years, and it doesn't bother them and they don't bother it.
Olga Jonasson, MD
The major risk of not having hernia surgery is strangulation, and according to Flum, this risk is very small. |

Men who have a hernia that does not cause pain or discomfort may not need surgery, a new study has found. Hernias occur when a portion of an organ (the intestine, for example) protrudes through an abnormal opening in the muscle wall, often as the result of a muscle tear injury. |
| Anne Larson, director of the Hepatology Clinic at the University of Washington in seattle, and her colleagues examined the records of 662 patients who were treated for acute liver failure at 22 liver centers in the United States over the six-year period from 1998 through 2003.
We make the assumption that over-the-counter drugs are somehow safer.
Marc Siegel, MD
In total, 275 patients (42%) had acetamino-phen-related acute liver failure. Within this group, 48% were unintentional overdoses, 44% were suicide attempts and 8% were of unknown intent, the study found. |

| After reading Food Pets Die For, Donna became aware that many of the shelters and veterinary clinics in Washington and Oregon were sending the euthanized animals to a rendering plant on the outskirts of seattle, Washington. Donna and John worked tirelessly for more than two years to put together a feasibility study that proved a cremation facility would not only be self-supporting but also offer a service—cremation—that was not available in their area. In 2000 their dream reached fruition. |

| The seattle study, he says, "raises a legitimate question: When should you no longer screen for colorectal cancer?"
The answer, of course, would involve more factors than just age, Church says. "The decision needs to be based not strictly on age, but on the health of the individual. Some older people are in good shape and will live for 20 years or more. Others have multiple health problems—their hearts or other organs may be failing. |

 He just needed to sleep off the effects and would undoubtedly be right as rain: a metaphor that particularly holds water in a city like seattle.
When we arrived at my house my wife took one look at Mark's condition and stated matter-of-factly, "You boys have been playing with energy again, I see." That said, she turned smartly on her heel and bustled off to the spare bedroom to turn down the sheets for our hapless guest. With an expression of resigned and good-natured exhaustion, Mark threw himself on the bed and was soon fast asleep. |
| The night before, I had stopped to sleep at a motel in Missoula, Montana, too exhausted to complete the drive from seattle. I was enrolled in Bastyr Naturopathic University, taking a course load of thirty-one credits a semester in order to earn my degree in Naturopathy. Even with my heavy academic schedule, I still had to put food on the table for my family. I had not yet passed the Washington State Chiropractic board exam, which necessitated the bimonthly trek to Montana where my chiropractic practice was still flourishing, in spite of my very part-time schedule there. |

| Watching dogs run in Seattle's off-leash parks, I see how hunters could use dogs as partners in the hunt, especially the ones that habitually turn prey back toward the pack. In any case, dogs were not domesticated for direct consumption. There is no evidence that early people ate their first animal allies. Instead, dogs increased human hunting efficiency and probably served as sentries in early hunting camps. (Cats were relative latecomers, as they moved into agricultural settlements roughly four thousand years ago, soon after towns first overlapped with their range. |

 Another study done in seattle had contradictory findings to the Nurses' Health Study.166 This study found no effect on the risk of breast cancer from either estrogen alone or estrogen and progestins together. In the WHI group of estrogen plus progestin users, there was a slight increase in breast cancer after five years of use.28 In the estrogen-only arm of the WHI, estrogen did not increase the risk of breast cancer, even after seven years of use. |
