Health Notes
This article says we should do large scale mental health screening of American children to identify problems with depression, etc. That actually might be a good idea. I initially thought that it might be good if parents were made more aware of what to look for, but things like depression are often difficult enough to detect. It might be possible to administer a relatively simple psychological test in the schools, sort of like the IQ tests or the PSAT that are currently administered, and that might help identify any psychological problems in our children, which is very important. One has to wonder, however, where all these psychological problems are coming from, and what is causing them? And is there anything we can do about the root causes?

This article says that breast cancer and stress are not related. This article says that stress and aging might be related. Also, stress reduction might help with high blood pressure.

Here is an article about prostate cancer, stress reduction, and a low-fat, high-fiber diet.

Pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) might help against lung cancer. Here is another article in case the first one doesn’t work. (January 2007 issue of Carcinogenesis) Oh, and pomegranate juice also might help with prostate cancer.

Here are some simple things you can do for the new year, like cutting trans fats, dealing with stress, stretching, etc.

Is it possible to reverse the symptoms of diabetes? I don’t know. Here are some articles generally, and of course there was the article at MSNBC that said adopting a vegan diet might help.

Here are five common diet mistakes.


This is a link to a simple game of Sudoku using pictures instead of numbers. Very interesting. It might help keep you mentally sharp. And the site also includes little factoids of health information.


I bought a vibrating seat cushion recently and I’m very glad I did. I spend a lot of time sitting here at the computer blogging. The cushion really helps. And it was on sale at the Discovery Channel store. Good deal.

Health Notes
This is a video which discusses the new weight loss drug Excalia. I must admit that Alison Stewart asks all the right questions in this interview. I’m not sure she got all the right answers. For example, she asks Dr. Ken Fujioka what happens when a person stops taking Excalia? The answer is that the person would regain the weight he or she had lost. That’s one answer, but what I am wondering is, what happens to a person’s brain? I know that when a person stops taking an SSRI, sometimes there are lasting and disturbing side effects. Are there any lasting and disturbing side effects when you stop taking Excalia? I’m not sure I have the answer to that.

Here is a very good discussion of the drug flibanserin, the possible new Viagra for women. I think this is somewhat controversial, and I’m not sure where I stand on it. One thing that occurs to me is that we seem to be turning into a nation of pill takers. Is that good? Ask people like Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World.

What is the best remedy for Alzheimer’s disease? So far the answer seems to be education and intellectual activity, not a pill.

Here is an article on healthy herbs and spices, including oregano, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric.

Eating too much fish might expose a fetus to too much mercury, whereas taking fish oil might be really good for fetuses. How can that be? Most any good fish oil, Carlson, for example, is free of such contaminants as mercury, lead, PCBs, etc.

Those who take Echinacea might want to think twice. Taking it seems to increase certain bacteria in the intestines, which could lead to problems.

I thought this was interesting: most Americans now would support changes in public policy that would address the problem of obesity in this country. That is really great. It makes me think there is hope for us after all. If we could support something like this, maybe we could support other initiatives that would improve our health.

Speaking of obesity, check this article on belly size, obesity, and heart disease.

I have been reluctant to mention this because I was not sure if it was a joke or if it was serious. This article, however, is published in the Sydney Morning Journal, and the discussion seems to contain a number of serious references, so I think I will just go with it. Research on the brush-tailed possum seems to suggest that this animal might help in treating enlarged prostate (BPH) in men. Apparently the possum’s prostate grows and shrinks seasonally, and if scientists could find out what causes that shrinkage, then maybe they could develop a medication that would help shrink the prostate in men. Read the article for better understanding.

Is there a link between female infertility and a reduced risk of breast cancer?

Health Notes
A reader from Canada passed along this article on Açai, a Brazilian berry that purports to have ten times the antioxidants found in red grapes; boost your energy; prevent premature aging; and kill some cancer cells. Wow, that’s a lot for one little berry to do. And of course through the magic of the internet, Açai is available at places like Amazon.com. Cool.

I thought that a diet pill (Excalia) that helps you lose weight was a good idea until I did some further research. Excalia is a combination of zonisamide SR and bupropion SR. The former seems to be an anticonvulsant, while the latter looks like the ingredient found in Wellbutrin and Zyban, a really serious psychiatric medication. I can understand, I suppose, that if a person has a serious weight problem, then he or she might want to resort to serious measures to remedy that problem. Excalia, it seems, is one such option. If I was obese and couldn’t lose weight, especially if that obesity was threatening my life, then maybe I would take this. But I do think I would try a lot of other stuff first.

Can calcium intake help you control your weight?

Since we seem to be talking a lot about weight control, here’s an article about Hoodia again.

Eating fruits and vegetables can help lower a person’s blood pressure. Maybe it’s the nitrates found in those foods that do the job.

Does taking Nexium, Prevacid, and Prilosec cause people to have more broken hips?

While they are genetically modifying the peanut, I hope I will still be able to get some non-GM peanuts in the future.

I actually lost weight over the holidays. I stepped on the scales just now and I was down about two pounds, to 140. So not only can I talk the talk, but I guess I can walk the walk. Good luck to all you health nuts out there. Let’s all get healthy. We can do it.

Health Notes
Scientists may have found a chemical that will stop alcoholics craving alcohol. Apparently there are orexin cells in the hypothalamus which regulate the pleasure derived from alcohol. It might be possible to block the action of these cells. Now if they could just do this for cigarettes.

For those who are not alcoholics, here is another article that says drinking a couple of glasses of wine per day is good for your health.

And here is an article that gives six reasons to drink wine. One big reason includes the possibility of avoiding ovarian cancer. There may be a reduced risk of 50 percent associated with moderate wine consumption. Here is an Australian study. Here is an Hawaiian study. And here are other articles. Other reasons, as if that were not enough, include possibly helping your memory and avoiding osteoporosis.

I love Indian food. As I may have mentioned before, you can make very tasty dishes using a minimum of spices. Here is an article about Indian spices. They are very healthy for you, and since I am vegetarian, they help add flavor to my meals.

Some of the supplements that are most in favor right now include: Andrographis, Astragalus, Elderberry, Honeysuckle and forsythia, Pelargonium sidoides, Probiotics, Vitamin C, and Zinc.

Here is an article about foods that may help you fight colds.

Here is an article on the health benefits of tea generally. And here is an accompanying chart that compares different teas and their benefits. It makes you want to try the various teas.

Research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (Thomas B. Shea, University of Massachusetts Lowell) suggests that eating two apples a day could help protect our memory as we age.

Research published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention suggests that men who lose weight may lower their risk of developing an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

Health Notes
Using mistletoe extract to fight cancer may not be a good idea. It may cause tumors.

Scientists are developing new drugs to fight cancer by blocking blood supply to tumors, but this time in novel ways. (Two separate reports in the journal Nature: one by Regeneron’s Dr. Gavin Thurston, and the other by Genentech’s Minhong Yan.)

As we have mentioned before, sometimes inflammation in the body is not good. Here are some suggestions for anti-inflammatory foods to eat. Some ideas include: adding flaxseed to breakfast cereal; eating more tuna and salmon; consuming omega-3 fatty acids; having a good balance between omega-3s and omega-6s; eating sweet cherries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.

This article has some suggestions for natural approaches to fight depression for those who are not doing well on their prescription medication. It mentions such things as: L-tyrosine, an energizing amino acid that helps make dopamine, a happy brain chemical. It also boosts thyroid hormone, which eases depression and fatigue; SAMe, a natural antidepressant and joint-pain reliever that has been used overseas for decades with great success; EPA/DHA fish oils as well as a good brand of 5-HTP; and St. John's wort which is very useful too, and numerous studies prove it. Please note: I do not vouch for any of these substances, but I mention them here for your information. I must say that I would like to look into some of these further myself, because I am not at all familiar with some of them.

Here are articles on the “World’s Healthiest Foods.” They include Spanish olive oil, Japanese soy, Greek yogurt (I liked this a lot when I visited Greece), Indian lentils, and Korean Kimchi. The list is interesting, but be sure to follow the links and read the individual articles on each food. They are very interesting and informative.

Health Notes
Low testosterone in men is a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease. Testosterone therapy might one day prevent that problem.

Men who take anti-cholesterol statin drugs may be less likely to develop advanced prostate cancer.

Here is an article on breast cancer and predicting the likelihood of its recurrence.

Also regarding breast cancer, sometimes you don’t know what to believe. Sometimes people say not to worry about fat in the diet, for older women, that is. (Here is an assortment of articles.) Now an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute says a low fat diet may prevent recurrence of breast cancer. I remember the earlier study. There were flaws in it as I recall. I would definitely go with this most recent one.

One day they say eating a low protein diet may prevent cancer. Now this study from Harvard Medical School says a high protein diet may be good for the heart. But this is not just any high protein diet. It is one that doesn’t include a lot of meat, but does include lots of nuts, beans, and whole grain cereals. The latter approach is similar to what I eat. Don’t forget the fruits and vegetables.

Cromolyn, an asthma medication, might be effective against pancreatic cancer.

Here is an article on aging, brain exercises, and mental acuity. There is a box on the right side of this page titled “Mental Aerobics” which provides exercises with pictures, lists, and words. What I’d like to know is this: do all these exercises have to be puzzles? I mean puzzles are ok, but what if a person remains mentally active every day, learning new things, thinking about new concepts, etc? Wouldn’t that serve the same purpose as puzzles? I guess it’s all good, but I think we need to stress the importance of remaining mentally active, with or without puzzles. But hey, what do I know?

Here is an article on the flexibility of the adult human brain. And here is an article on why the teenaged brain may sometimes be so chaotic.

Apparently the herbal supplement black cohosh may not relieve the hot flashes of menopause.

Can antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals boost our immune systems and help us fight the flu?

In 2004 Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, said "the marketing of junk food, especially to kids, is out of control.'' Now that he will be chairman of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, he may be in a position to do something about that problem.

Health Notes
Inflammation in the body is an important concern. Rosehips (or rosehip extract) may help lower inflammation. And here is an article on other anti-inflammatories.

While we’re talking about anti-inflammatories, this article says olive oil may reduce the risk of cancer. It may be the monounsaturated fats in the olive oil that reduce oxidative damage done to cells – damage that could lead to cancer. I often eat a dish called Pasta Alia Olia, which is basically garlic sautéed in olive oil, served over linguine. I always thought it was healthy, but now I’m even more convinced.

I mentioned Ibuprofen recently. I talked about how there are so many warning labels on the box. Now the FDA says that a lot of painkillers are safe if taken as directed, but they are not always taken as directed, which is very dangerous (I don’t know if you saw the story on ABC News last night) so they want more extensive warning labels on more painkillers. Now I’m really afraid to take any anymore.

And speaking of painkillers, this article advises you not to take acetaminophen to combat a hangover, because it could harm the liver if mixed with alcohol. Now you see, I don’t understand that. Of course you’re not going to take acetaminophen with a glass of wine, but you mean you should also not take one the next morning, after you haven’t had any alcohol for like eight hours? That seems bizarre to say the least. I need further clarification on that.

The residents of this town in Italy, Stocarreddo, eat anything they want, with little or no apparent ill effects, while heart attack and stroke are the first and third leading causes of death in the state of Tennessee. Of course it’s not fair, but it’s all genetics, I guess. If we could figure out what makes those Italians so healthy, maybe we could help the people of Tennessee and elsewhere. That’s one thing we should be trying to do.

Everybody’s probably heard about this by now, but vitamin D may reduce your risk of getting Multiple Sclerosis. Great!

I guess we should all think twice before beginning a fast. Here is an article with more information and discussion on fasting. I don’t really fast, but sometimes I devote a day, perhaps Sunday, to eating a lot of soluble fiber, like that found in oatmeal and bananas. Also I often try to limit my calories. And speaking of oatmeal, this opinion article touts the benefits of oat cereal. (It may lower LDL cholesterol levels and prevent heart attacks.)

For those who are trying to stop drinking alcohol, nutrition may play a part in that process. Some doctors recommend a diet of fish, high cholesterol food, and vitamins to help kick the habit.

Here’s an article that says reducing the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages during childhood may lessen the risk of getting conditions like diabetes and heart disease in later life. Maybe somebody should feed these kids a dish of Pasta Alia Olia.

Health Notes
I have talked a lot about ovarian cancer recently. I believe I can’t talk about it enough, because a lot of women die from it, and it is important that women have information. So, once again, here are the symptoms of ovarian cancer: pelvic or abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, urinary urgency (needing to get to a bathroom immediately), urinary frequency (having to urinate often), feeling full, having difficulty eating. If you have these symptoms, get to a doctor fast.

Women in this study who drank two cups of tea per day presumably had a lower risk of ovarian cancer. And here is a resource for more information on ovarian cancer generally.

Here is a resource for more information on breast cancer.

I have talked a lot about omega-3 fatty acids. I mentioned that those with heart failure should not take omega-3s. Now it seems there are other risks associated with taking too much omega-3, (more than 3 grams per day?) including increased bleeding, stroke, etc. Check this article at Wikipedia, and do more research for yourself. Anything can be overdone, I suppose, including taking omega-3.

Does everyone know what cataracts are? Here is some information. I am definitely going to wear my sunglasses more often. Maybe that will prevent my developing cataracts.

What is it with alcohol? Now they’re saying that it might actually help prevent arthritis. At least it seemed to have been effective for mice.

For alcoholics, if they stop drinking, in many cases their brain chemistry improves and they regain brain volume. This, of course, is cause for optimism.

Here is an article that wonders if we are over-diagnosing prostate cancer. I certainly think we are over-screening for it. I had a biopsy six years ago that I think was totally unnecessary. In this article Dr. Gil Welch at Dartmouth says, “What we should be doing is tell people the whole story and let different people come to different decisions.” I’m all for that.

While we’re talking about prostate cancer, here is an article on some new treatments that may be available.

Smoking may have a negative impact on your IQ.

Eating fish, or taking fish oil, may help regulate your heart rate, and thereby lower your risk of sudden death.

A new test that focuses on a protein called EPCA may help in diagnosing prostate cancer. EPCA levels were found to be elevated in a number of men who had negative biopsies, but in whom the disease subsequently was found.

According to this report, taking aspirin neither increases nor decreases your risk of pancreatic cancer.

Don’t want to get cataracts? Eat lots of dark green leafy vegetables.

Pregnant women who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, etc, have an 80% greater chance of having a miscarriage.

Health Notes
Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are getting some good press these days. There was the recent article that taking them may prevent Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Now there is an article on how they may help prevent or treat cancer. I love these kinds of stories. Sometimes I feel pessimistic when I read about things in the environment that cause cancer. It is always good to read about new and promising treatments. I guess I’m an optimist at heart.

High blood pressure can be bad of course, but low blood pressure (hypotension) can be bad too.

And too much exercise is not good. Think stress fractures, insomnia, and compromised immune systems.

I hate a lot of those drug ads on TV. Now is seems that the GAO thinks the FDA should do more to regulate direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs. Good luck with that. The pharmaceutical industry has a lot of clout.

Can a low calorie diet help with Parkinson’s disease? Maybe so, according to a new study, by Mark P. Mattson of the National Institute on Aging, which is being reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Here are two articles about diet and breast cancer. (CNN, AP) The idea, I think, is that a low fat diet may help prevent the recurrence of some breast cancers, but only those that are not driven by hormones. The evidence for this, however, is not conclusive.
