It's a salad dressing AND a cancer screen!
Okay, this is too cool:"A simple vinegar test slashed cervical cancer death rates by one-third in a remarkable study of 150,000 women"You will never guess where - so I'll tell you: "in the slums of India."In the West, "[p]ap smears and tests for HPV" have saved countless lives, but these are apparently too expensive for poorer nations. Enter vinegar which, when swabbed on the cervix, changes abnormal cells' color, indicating potentially life-threatening cancer.According the the study, it's "cut the cervical cancer death rate by 31 percent."Beat that, Honey Mustard!

Wingnuttery kills
Among the sexually transmitted infections, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV, to its friends) is among the least glamorous. Everyone knows syphilis and gonorrhea, but for some reason HPV doesn't share their celebrity. It should, because some strains of it cause a very common and highly unpleasant problem, genital warts -- or warts wherever people's parts happen to interact, and you can use your imagination. Other strains cause cancer -- cervical, genital, anal, oral and pharyngeal. In fact, HPV is basically the cause of cervical cancer.So it doesn't take a sodomite to see that a vaccine which is highly effective in preventing tra...

Merck in the Mirror: Profits, Not People, Come First. Shame!
"How can Merck look itself in the mirror?", asks Josh Bloom of the American Council for Science and Health (see here)."This week, Merck, with some questionable help from the FDA, gave more ammunition to industry critics, who typically maintain that the industry contributes little innovation, and is simply concerned with profits," said Bloom."For the most part, this criticism is biased and uninformed, but this time I'm siding with the critics. Because Merck is trying something that is as good an example of marketing without innovation as you'll ever see."Derek Lowe, respected author of In the Pipeline blog, agrees. "I can't...

Drug donations are great, but should Big Pharma be setting the agenda?
Monday 29 April 2013 12.01 BST Critics fear that giving out free medicines allows pharmaceutical companies to decide which diseases are treated Vaccine donations might end after a period of time, leaving governments to pick up the bill. Photograph: Chris Hondros/Getty Images Adam Robert Green for African Arguments, part of the Guardian Africa Network In the early 2000s, pharmaceutical companies were high on activists' hit lists, prompted by Big Pharma's ill-advised attempt to sue the South African government for patent infringement on HIV drugs; an attempt to deal with the country's epidemic by allowing cheaper, generi...

Another cancer we can prevent
Although no one talks about it much, one of the results of the AIDS epidemic has been that there has been an increase in the number of men diagnosed with anal cancer. This cancer arises in the anus, about a half-inch inside and above the opening. The first symptom is itching that doesn’t go away and then soreness and bleeding and finally, pain. In my practice, the only patients I saw with this were women. I wasn’t sure why until the discovery of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Not only is this the virus that causes cervical cancer and is sexually transmitted but now we know it also causes anal cancer. It isn’t clear wh...

The Surgery - I Could Never Have Expected This
Mark is freakishly OCD about being on time or early everywhere we go, so when we left to go to the hospital for my surgery, the traffic was bad, it was lightly snowing (yes, I know, on April 19!!), and it appeared we were going to be a bit late.  I kept trying to calm him down, telling him they give people huge windows of two to three hours before their surgery even begins to get there.  Everyone has their buttons, though.  His is traffic, another one of his is finding a parking spot in a parking lot.  NOT a good pet peeve living in Chicago.  Now *that* I totally dread.  I can go from being so...

National Minority Health Month Is A Call To Action
April is National Minority Health Month. That's the "dry" statement. The impact statement is that-unfortunately-for many in this country, this is more than a phrase. It's a reality that their health and their health care are in crisis. And the sooner more of us understand this, the sooner we can make a genuine effort to implement effective strategies that will address the sad state of affairs many people find themselves in when it comes to their health, and preventing and appropriately treating their diseases. This is about more than high blood pressure and diabetes. It's about heart disease and stroke and cancer and the l...
