The Last Straw: Anti-Tobacco Groups are Actively Promoting Smoking
Readers of the Rest of the Story may have noticed that I have not posted for a few days. This is not for lack of material. Lots is happening that deserves comment, and in the days to follow I will catch readers up on some important developments, including two more lawsuits filed against the FDA in an attempt to overturn its electronic cigarette deeming regulations.I have not been able to write because I have been too distraught. I have come to the realization that the anti-smoking movement - which I have been a part of for the past 31 years, is essentially dead. And even worse, the anti-smoking movement is now actively pro...

Why I Became a Cancer Advocate: Aimee
“It’s cancerous.” Those were my mother’s words on November 17, 2008. She had been hospitalized earlier that fall for unexplained internal bleeding and had just received the results of the follow-up tests. The doctors found a tumor in her stomach, and it was cancerous. I was devastated. Only days earlier, my best friend had laid her mother to rest; the breast cancer was too aggressive. We were still reeling from her death when we got my mother’s diagnosis. The next few weeks were a blur of doctors’ visits, tests, and conversations with my extended family while we worked with doctors to figure...

The pain of prebiotics?
Here’s a question I hear on occasion: “I started the prebiotic fibers but I experienced a lot of bloating and abdominal discomfort and had to stop. Maybe they’re not for me.” As the Wheat Belly conversation is taken further into the mainstream population via the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox, I am hearing this more and more. Giving up too soon because of encountering a problem without understanding why is a sure way to booby-trap your return to health. Should you encounter problems such as bloating or discomfort with your prebiotic regimen, it is due to dysbiosis, disrupted bowel flora from prior e...

Lynn’s facial redness gone in 3 days on the Wheat Belly Detox!
Lynn shared her “before” and “during” photos, just 3 days into her Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox experience. “This is how much my skin redness has calmed since starting my Wheat Belly Detox 3 days ago. I was always getting asked if my blood pressure was up. I have always had great blood pressure, so that was never the issue. However, I never understood why my face would get red like this. Then I noticed it was especially after I ate. “The ‘before’ pic was taken during Christmas time, therefore the redness isn’t from sun but from the wheat and grains. Also both pics are witho...

Not Just a Man’s Disease
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, to help spread the word we are cross posting the following post. It originally ran on HuffPost Healthy Living. Colorectal cancer is not just a man’s disease — it’s the third most common cancer in women behind lung and breast — and not just among the elderly [1]. In fact, colorectal cancer diagnoses are becoming increasingly common in individuals younger than 50 [2]. Colorectal cancer is the growth of abnormal cancerous cells in the lower part of the colon that connects the anus to the large bowel. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nea...

TBT: Which is More Uncomfortable – The Colonoscopy or Treatment for Colon Cancer?
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, today’s TBT post provides some helpful information on colorectal cancer. Michelle was a healthy, active 47 year old. She tried to eat right and she exercised. It looked like the hard work was paying off: no health issues and lots of energy. Her work in the healthcare field motivated her to see her doctors regularly for checkups, to get mammograms and to have her blood work done annually. She knew she was getting close to the magical age of 50 and that soon she would need to get a colonoscopy to screen for colorectal cancer.  Since she had no family history of the disease she wa...

Cancer Found in Naked Mole-Rats
Naked mole-rats are very long-lived in comparison to near relative species, and have a great resistance to cancer - to the point at which researchers have not characterized and reported on any incidence of cancer in their laboratory colonies, now numbering thousands of individuals, and not for lack of searching. This is a far cry from similarly-sized rodent species, all of which have a very high rate of cancer. There has been considerable interest in the research community in recent years in identifying the underlying mechanisms of cancer resistance in naked mole-rats, with an eye to seeing whether or not they can form the...

Cancer Surgery At Low-Volume Hospitals In California
More than 100 years ago, Boston Surgeon Dr. Ernest Amory Codman took note of data on surgeries at a small semi-private hospital and some other larger and more prestigious hospitals. “They clearly showed,” he wrote, “that the semi-private hospital not only did more operations, but that the mortality was much lower, especially in some of the more difficult branches of surgery.” Not quite 50 years ago, results from the National Halothane Study produced some of the first solid statistical evidence of a link between the volume of services and outcomes. Since then, the work of numerous investigators has solidified and ex...

My Children are Vaccine-Damaged; are Yours?
Conclusion A growing number of today’s children suffer from vaccine damage. Most individuals do not make the connection between health problems and vaccines. When asked about the cause of autoimmune disorders, asthma, allergies, diabetes, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, autism, and other common childhood diseases and illness, the majority of health care providers advise patients that the causes are unknown. Doctors, including most integrative physicians, fail to make the connection to vaccines. It takes one moment to permanently damage the health of an adult or child, but takes a lifetime to t...

Free market for surgery: interview with Allevion CEO Arnon Krongrad, MD
Surgery can be expensive, scary, dangerous and even deadly. Yet it’s hard for patients and even for referring physicians to navigate the system. So I was intrigued when I was contacted by Dr. Arnon Krongrad , CEO of Allevion, Inc., a healthcare logistics company that markets surgery packages. The company’s Surgeo online marketplace let’s patients shop for the surgeon of their choice. I explored the topic in depth with Dr. Krongrad in this email interview. What are the limitations of referrals to surgeons by primary doctors? Conventional surgeon referrals by other doctors, such as primary physicians, r...

In Synch – Growing Older with the Rhythms of Life
Dr. Donald L. McEachron, Teaching Professor, School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, Drexel University Dr. Eugenia V. Ellis, Associate Professor, Architectural and Interior Design, Drexel University Human beings are the result of biological evolution rather than engineering design. One result of this reality is that humans are dependent on a variety of internal biological rhythms to control and coordinate both physiological and behavioral activities. Organisms, exposed to powerful geophysical cycles for countless millennia, have evolved specific mechanisms to adapt both internally and externally to da...

U wave on ECG
Brief Review U wave in ECG occurs after the T wave and is usually seen in the mid precordial leads. In hypokalemia, T wave becomes flattened and U wave becomes prominent (or apparently so because of near absence of T waves). Important conditions associated with U waves are systemic hypertension, aortic and mitral regurgitation and coronary artery disease [1]. Theories about genesis of U waves One theory about the genesis of U wave is that it is due to repolarization of the Purkinje fibres. Another possibility is that it is due to after potentials caused by mechanical forces in the ventricular wall. A third hypothesis sugge...

the wisdom of my therapist
I've been seeing a therapist for a couple of years and, at this point, she knows me really well. I honestly don't know how I would have lived through the last couple of years without her and only wish I had started working with her sooner.I've been thinking of some of the things that I have learned from her.Patients who advocate for themselves have better outcomes. My therapist used to work in a hospital and this is something she learned then. I find it very comforting, especially as I make call after call to make sure I get the information I need to know how I am being treated and why. I feel so much better when I know wh...
