Charles Poliquin: New Cancer Fighting Breakthrough for Women

Although glucaric acid has benefits for men, particularly in the prevention of prostrate cancer, I consider calcium D-glucarate an essential part of my women's line of supplements. The compound can play a critical role in total protection against (1) diseases caused by excess estrogen, (2) xenobiotics, which are pollutants or chemicals not produced naturally by the body.
(An  antibiotic is an example of an xenobiotic), and (3) fat soluble toxins, which are toxic compounds stored in body fat. There is plenty of solid science to support the effectiveness and, consequently, the endorsement of calcium D glucarate in the areas of cancer prevention and treatment. Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston (considered one of the top cancer centers in the United States) have conducted considerable research on the health benefits and healing properties of calcium glucarate.

Dr. Mercola: Are Your Vitamin D Tests Valid?

I recently came across some important news that is essential for you to
know if you are seeking to get all the value from one of the most important
vitamins we know, vitamin D. As a reader of this newsletter, you’re likely
familiar with my advice to make sure you get your vitamin D levels tested
regularly, especially if you're taking a vitamin D supplement. Unfortunately,
recent developments in 2008 have made it clear there are irregularities in
the values obtained from the different testing methods. Although results
from any of the three commonly used assays may be analytically
accurate, they might not be clinically accurate, which is what matters . . .

UK Daily Mail: How Scented Sprays Could Make Your Unborn Baby Infertile

Pregnant women are urged to stop using perfumes or scented creams
after research suggested the products could cause unborn boys to suffer
infertility or cancer in later life. It found the reproductive systems of male
foetuses were damaged at as early as eight weeks' gestation by chemicals
found in cosmetics. Professor Richard Sharpe, who led the research at the
Medical Research Council, said that he had discovered a 'time window' of
eight to 12 weeks' gestation, when certain hormones in the foetus are
activated and the male reproductive system comes into being. At that
time, future problems of male fertility, including undescended testicles, low
sperm count and the risk of testicular cancer could be determined if these
hormones, such as testosterone, do not work properly, he added.

UK Daily Mail: Using Gene Tests to Search for the Time Bomb in Our Family

Dozens of private laboratories have sprung up, trading via the internet and
claiming to predict our chances of developing life-threatening conditions,
from cancers and heart attacks to diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Sample
kits are sent and returned by post, the results analysed and posted online.
Sales of home health tests have risen by 55 per cent since 2003, and the
UK market is worth £100million a year. Yet experts warn that DNA research
is still in its infancy and that many tests offered online are inaccurate. Yet
in the same month, Cancer Research UK called for widespread gene testing
to identify women most at risk of breast cancer, so they could benefit
from early detection. And for more than a decade, doctors have used gene
testing to look for abnormalities that can cause rare disorders such as
cystic fibrosis, a life-long illness in which the body produces thick mucus
that causes digestive and respiratory problems, and Duchenne muscular
dystrophy, a muscle-wasting disease that is caused by a single faulty gene.

Alternet: People with Business & Marketing Degrees are Running Hospitals

In 1970, a Fortune magazine cover story warned the nation: "Much of U.S.
medical care, particularly the everyday business of preventing and treating
routine illnesses, is inferior in quality, wastefully dispensed, and inequitably
financed." That year, a Fortune editorial declared: "The time has come for
radical change. ... The management of medical care is too important to
leave to doctors who are, after all, not managers to begin with." This was
the beginning of the revolution Paul Starr described in his Pulitzer prize
winning 1982 book, The Social Transformation of American Medicine. In his
final chapter, "The Coming of the Corporation," Starr expressed concern
that "those who talked about 'health care planning' in the 1970s now talk
about 'health care marketing.' Everywhere one sees the growth of a kind of
marketing mentality in health care. And, indeed, business school graduates
are displacing graduates of public health schools, hospital administrators
and even doctors in the top echelons of medical care organizations . . .
