What ’ s Wrong With Medicine? You Decide.
By ROBERT McNUTT, MD I have practiced medicine for over 40 years. I have yet to find a physician without a chronic disease in question who is smarter than the person with that chronic disease. I have been impressed that a patient’s numeric insights and intuitions when they are ill surpass their skills when they were not ill. All a patient needs is information, in all its glory and messiness, to know if the information is worth anything to them when they face a medical decision.  Patients, in my view, are the best information managers and evidence experts I have ever seen, and I know a bunch of evidence experts to draw u...

Food the Forgotten Medicine: More bait and switch from the “ College of Medicine ”
‘We know little about the effect of diet on health. That’s why so much is written about it’. That is the title of a post in which I advocate the view put by John Ioannidis that remarkably little is known about the health effects if individual nutrients. That ignorance has given rise to a vast industry selling advice that has little evidence to support it. The 2016 Conference of the so-called "College of Medicine" had the title "Food, the Forgotten Medicine". This post gives some background information about some of the speakers at this event. Quite a lot has been written here about the ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 25th 2016
This study builds on preliminary findings from the first phase of the INTERSTROKE study, which identified ten modifiable risk factors for stroke in 6,000 participants from 22 countries. The full-scale INTERSTROKE study included an additional 20,000 individuals from 32 countries in Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australia, and sought to identify the main causes of stroke in diverse populations, young and old, men and women, and within subtypes of stroke. To estimate the proportion of strokes caused by specific risk factors, the investigators calculated the population attributable risk for each factor (PAR; an esti...

Out of Control Physicians: Too Many Doctors Doing Too Many Things to Too Many Patients
My father is 92 years old, and I am beginning to wonder whether the best thing for his health would be to stay away from doctors.

Introducing Viral Cancer Therapies into the Spleen Greatly Improves Outcomes
There are plenty of results from the past decade to illustrate that the methodology by which a therapy is delivered makes a great deal of difference to the outcome in patients. Here, for example, researchers have found a way to improve the performance of viruses engineered to preferentially target cancer cells. We've been hearing less of this approach to cancer in the past few years, given the progress and more widespread support for cancer immunotherapy as a technology platform, but there are still many researchers working on the use of viruses in targeted cancer therapy, and a number of promising studies have resulted. ...

The Media, Mixed Messages and Statins
By SAURABH JHA, MD Recently, sitting next to me at a family friend’s wedding, was a middle-aged Indian male, a retired investment banker. He had an axe to grind with doctors. He said, “You doctors don’t know what you’re talking about. One doctor says check your PSA, and another doctor says don’t bother. Can’t you doctors make up your minds?” He was an aggressive chap, faux aggression really; a tardive alpha male, who’d looked like he’d been hen-pecked most of his life. He had just eaten four pieces of rasmalai, and was storming the fifth. Rasmalai is a sugar-rich Indian desert that’s monstrously tasty ...

July 2016 Man of the Month: Jack Whelan
Jack Whelan Last November, minutes before the deadline to be considered for PVI’s first Patient Voice Impact Award with the Leapfrog Group, we received a nomination for “…an extraordinary patient advocate who is helping bridge the well-known communications gap between patients, physicians, policy makers, pharmaceutical companies and others in life sciences. He’s currently in twice-weekly chemo treatment for a rare incurable blood cancer while still active and often “on-the-road” as a Patient Advocate, Research Advocate and Legislative Advocate.” Pat and Jack Whelan That man was Jack Whelan, and th...

Doctors Can’t Be Trusted to Tell Patients Whether They Should Receive Robotic Surgery
Patients often rely on physicians for information about their treatment alternatives. Unfortunately, that information is not always objective. Consider a man with early stage prostate cancer interested in surgical removal of his tumor, but uncertain whether it is better for … Continue reading → The post Doctors Can’t Be Trusted to Tell Patients Whether They Should Receive Robotic Surgery appeared first on PeterUbel.com.
