The amount of grey hair was graded using the hair whitening score: 1 = pure black hair, 2 = black more than white, 3 = black equals white, 4 = white more t...

A Certain Irrationality Still Pervades Much of the Aging Research Community
Imagine for a moment that the inhabitants of a town beside a river are hampered by their inability to get across the river. They have been talking about getting across the river for so long, and without any meaningful progress towards that goal, that it has become a polarized topic by now. Most people won't mention crossing the river these days because it has become the subject of tall tales and ridicule. The town is growing, however, and now it has a concrete works and enough revenue to order all the rest of the materials needed for a bridge. Accordingly, a bridge faction arises, but is almost immediately set upon by anot...

Best of Our Blogs: April 4, 2017
It amazes me how easy we’re triggered these days. And yet, it makes sense. We were raised to bury our real emotions, to stuff it way down deep so others won’t be uncomfortable. However, when there isn’t a healthy outlet to express what we truly feel, we explode. Many of us are walking time bombs with unhealed wounds, ready to attack if someone says something the wrong way. True connection and intimacy, however, requires vulnerability and discomfort. It doesn’t have to mean being rude, mean or hurtful. It requires us to be self-aware and responsible with our feelings. It requires curiosity and the ab...

Trump Signs Executive Order To Ban Life Coaching
This could be one of my last ever posts as I read with sadness last nigh that President Trump signed an executive order looking to ban Life Coaching by the end of of this year. Not only that, but they have declared NLP (neurolinguistic programming) illegal and an act of treason punishable by 20-years of hard rock breaking, or 20-minutes of listening to Trump bang on about how he won the popular vote of the election (whichever seems longer). Press Secretary Sean Sphincter said in a brief statement: “Life Coaching is a cancer of modern society full of really bad hombres. The idea that people will pay other people to he...

After the American Health Care Act
BY JOHN IRVINE We asked THCB’s editors and bloggers for their reactions to Friday’s news. Here are their reactions. DANIEL STONE, MD The late UCLA Professor Richard Brown, once commented that the Clinton healthcare initiative failed because the status quo was everyone’s second choice. Some of that logic applies to today’s failure to vote on the AHCA. Additionally, no one ever lost money betting against the rollback of an established entitlement program. The Republicans opponents of the ACA have not yet faced the fact that the reason coverage is so expensive is because the care is so expensive. You can’t ...

Once Again I Wasn ' t The Patient
And it was nice. I went to visit my brother for the weekend. And didn ' t really see him. He had a kidney stone (and a lot nastier word to describe it) that caused him intense pain.I did get to go to Lowes with him to get parts of his upstairs sink. I also ran and emptied his dishwasher twice. Drove his children all over the place and visited him in the hospital. I fed his cat several times. I walked his girlfriend ' s dog a bunch of times - including in a snowstorm. I let the dog hog the bed one night and then I let the cat snuggle the next nights. I had dinner with his ex-wife and two of the children one night. I also dr...

So What Causes Your Depression?
Today at my therapist ' s, she asked me if I thought my pain issues cause my depression. I don ' t think so. But we had a discussion on the subject.I think my emotions have been screwed up since my thyroid cancer diagnosis in 1981. Honestly, don ' t you think that a cancer diagnosis without any emotional support wouldn ' t cause depression? It just took a long time for me to realize how screwed up I was. Then at my second cancer diagnosis I decided I needed to be proactive about getting emotional support.Then my health collapsed and you wonder why I still am depressed. Add some chronic pain into the mix and a bunch of othe...

More Evil Cancer Cells
So I didn ' t know (or maybe I kind of knew and was pretending I didn ' t) that some cancer cells go hide in your body to come out later as metastases. However,current research has been working on this issue." ...researchers have discovered the conditions by which specific signals in primary tumors of head and neck and breast cancers can pre-program cancer cells to become dormant and evade chemotherapy after spreading. "How nice. Or actually how evil! I think it is pretty nasty when cancer cells hide so they can recur and try to kill you. The elude conventional treatments including chemotherapy.However I think its pretty d...

Exercise, or Reducing AI ' s Side Effects
All of us ' lucky ' people with hormone positive breast cancer, get the ' benefit ' of being able to take hormone therapy or aromatase inhibitors (AIs) such as Femara, Aromasin, etc. These lovely little pills potentially reduce your risk of breast cancer recurrence (that most dreaded of all possibilities).However these aforementioned lovely little pills cause nice side effects such as bone loss and joint pain. I have friends who had to discontinue AIs because of these side effects. They can be THAT bad.So anew research study (because we always need more research) has come up with a cure for these issues: Exercise. Parts of...

The Difference With A Good Doctor
This morning I had a wonderful experience having injections in my spine around T8 and T9 where I have a couple of desiccated discs. (Apparently I did something to my back in the previous years - my money is on the time I knocked the wind out of myself in front of the upper ski lodge with a deck full of skiers.) Desiccated discs are common in older adults (70+). Once again I am proving I am less healthy than most people 20 years old than me.Today my new pain management doctor did the procedure. He was nice and talked to me first. Then he asked me during the procedure if I could feel anything and he would add more pain meds....
