India Holds Bill Gates Accountable For His Vaccine Crimes
Conclusion It is difficult to believe that, despite the mounting evidence outlining the many crimes against humanity that have been committed by the Gates Foundation, GAVI, UNICEF and PATH, Bill Gates is portrayed as a hero among many. However, according to the definition of hero in the Oxford Dictionary, the word hero means: “A person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” [12] The dictionary I used said nothing about vaccinating innocent, vulnerable children with untested and unsafe vaccinations, causing them to suffer agonizing, untimely deaths. &nbs...

The Not So Scary Truth About HPV
There’s a downside, I think, to educating the public about the link between HPV infection and cervical cancer.  And that’s scaring the bejesus out of every woman who happens to find out she has HPV. It’s not surprising that you’re scared. You see, we want you to know that HPV infection is linked to cervical cancer, and that we have a vaccine against HPV that can prevent cervical cancer. So we’ve been doing our best to get the word out. (With no small bit of help from the HPV test and vaccine manufacturers.) But in our zeal to get you screened and vaccinated, we sort of forgot to tell you something equal...

2014 PhRMA Research and Hope Awards Celebrate Groundbreaking Achievements in HIV/AIDS, While Recognizing the Continued Work Needed for a Cure
Last night, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) honored individuals and organizations for their work in the field of HIV/AIDS at the 2014 PhRMA Research and Hope Awards.  The event served as both a celebration of groundbreaking achievements as well as a call to continue the hard work that is still required to put an end to HIV/AIDS. The evening featured a conversation with President George W. Bush and PhRMA president and CEO, John Castellani. During President Bush’s time in office he launched an initiative to combat AIDS in Africa called the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief ...

Cancer screening in the elderly: Don’t be stupid
The electronic medical record that my office uses features a clinical protocol button that we are encouraged to click during patient visits to remind us about potentially indicated preventive services, such as obesity and tobacco counseling and cancer screenings. I once tried it out while seeing a 90-year-old with four chronic health problems. The computer suggested breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and cervical cancer screenings: three totally inappropriate tests for the patient. Continue reading ...

Being Overweight or Obese Raises the Risk of Cancer
This recent study provides yet another reason to make lifestyle choices that better manage your weight. If nothing else cancers thrive in an inflammatory environment, and metabolically active visceral fat tissue generates chronic inflammation. More of it is definitely worse for your long-term health in a range of ways: Using data from general practitioner records in the UK's Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), the researchers identified 5.24 million individuals aged 16 and older who were cancer-free and had been followed for an average of 7.5 years. The risk of developing 22 of the most common cancers, which repre...

Cancer and the Latino Community: Lessons Learned
I had the privilege this week to serve as the keynote speaker for the 4th Summit sponsored by Latinas Contra Cancer-an organization founded and led by Ysabel Duron, a formidable cancer survivor and news media presence in San Francisco. Bringing together members of the Latino community, researchers, community health workers, promotores (more on that later) and advocates, the summit focused on the issues facing the Latino community in increasing awareness, access to care, improved treatment and research opportunities among other topics. But what was most impressive was the spirit, engagement and commitment that permeated the...

Good News to be Sure
Not sure if you wretched refuse are allowed to read this,  But the American College of Physicians now recommends against routine pelvic examinations. They do recommend that cervical cancer screening continue, but for you guys, that's much less invasive than the pelvic exam. For us, I suppose, the nearest equivalent is the digital rectal examination, which is no longer recommended as part of a routine physical. (In fact, the entire routine physical is no longer recommended, but that will be much harder to get rid of.) So, if your doctor wants to stick his finger up your ass, and you don't want him to do it, just say no...

In Observance of Jessie Gruman
On July 14th, 2014 we lost a truly outstanding woman to her battle with a long time illness. Jessie Gruman was the president and founder of the Center for Advancing Health. A true patient advocate, she promoted not only patient engagement but the use of evidence-based medicine to support the adoption of healthy behavior.  In addition to her professional career, Gruman defined herself as a musician, avid reader of poetry and interested in foreign policy, the media and global health. She was a true disruptive woman. Gruman advocated for policies and practices to overcome the challenges we all face in finding good care and g...

Behind the screen
This report models the impact of an improved screening rate for cervical cancer. It finds that the NHS currently spends around £21 million a year treating cervical cancer, while the state loses £9 million in tax revenue from women and their partners who stop work as a result. It argues that if screening coverage were to reach 100%, it estimates that costs to the NHS would almost half, costs to the state would fall by a third, and total costs to women diagnosed with cervical cancer would fall by around 40%. More importantly, incidence of cancer would also almost halve. Based on these findings, the report concludes by offe...

ASCO 2014 Is A Wrap: If Immunotherapy Is The Queen Of The Ball, Then Panomics Holds The Keys To The Kingdom
As in years past, the trip home from the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago gives me a moment to reflect on what I have heard and hopefully learned over the past five days. This meeting is a whirlwind of activity and information, far too much for any one person to absorb and process. You can be focused on one topic, you can be general, and you can hear new cutting edge research or be educated on topics of general interest in cancer. You can go to the exhibit hall and be overwhelmed by the booths and displays (I tend not to go there, but obviously many others do). I suspect you get the id...

Health Disparities in the LGBT Community and the Importance of Data
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) individuals are becoming increasingly visible in our society. Unfortunately, they are subjected to discrimination and stigma similar to other marginalized groups such as racial and ethnic minorities and people with disabilities. The current political and social context and unique health care needs, impact the health of LGBT individuals, resulting in health disparities (poorer health outcomes compared with their heterosexual and/or non-transgender peers). In order to identify and eliminate these disparities, health care providers must 1) be willing and able to competently gather...

Vinod Khosla – Still Stirring Things Up
Vinod Khosla (Wikipedia) Vinod Khosla’s still at it. This time its the Stanford Big Data in Biomedicine Conference.  I don’t really blame him – he’s got quite a thing going on the speaker circuit.  As long as he keeps getting invited to give keynote addresses at healthcare summits, he’ll keep cranking through his slide set and stirring up the hornet’s nest by saying that 80% of docs will be replaced by digital devices. Which coincidentally, his venture capital firm finances. Except now he’s calling it big data, since that’s what the most recent summit he spoke at was abou...
