by wojcik11 There is no doubt that a clean diet and exercise are keys in healthy weight management. So why is it that many of us eat well and are active but still have difficulty in losing weight? A few years ago, an interesting hypothesis on the present obesity epidemic emerged from the Occupational and Environmental Health Research Group at Stirling University in Scotland. The researchers pointed to evidence... 9/11/2008 7:51:23 AM
by Al Jacobs If you visit google.com, the Internet's most prominent search engine, and enter the words "Family Budget," you'll be referred to 93,800,000 websites. As you see, there's a plethora of information on budgets. Visit some of the sites as I did and you can learn how to create them, revise them, refine them, interpret them, rationalize them, and conform to them. Nonetheless, the number of American families... 9/3/2008 2:53:30 PM
by Beth Rosenshein Here's the thing. It is pretty much accepted that throughout a woman's life hormone changes will influence her skin. So when research shows otherwise I always want to see how the research was done so I can learn something new. I recently read a medical study that at first glance gave me the impression that hormones given for menopause would not help skin continue to look good. I regularly talk to dermatologists... 9/1/2008 10:40:33 PM
by Beth Rosenshein Putting a name on an illness is the first step in the direction of finding a treatment for it. For instance, a treatment for high blood pressure is something that will lower blood pressure and a treatment for a fever will lower the fever. This is how clinical trials evolve into effective treatments. Except when it comes to menopause. Have you ever asked yourself why treatment for menopause is so hard... 8/19/2008 11:13:44 PM
by Dr.Bissoon Mesotherapy is a medical specialty which has gained popularity for treating weight gain and cellulite. Last week I saw a patient who was having difficulty with losing weight. The young woman was in her thirties with little to no medical problems. The patient was very frustrated and wanted to start a treatment course of Mesotherapy to help facilitate her weight loss. She has been steadily gaining weight... 8/14/2008 11:16:41 PM
by Bob_Livingstone A recent Time Magazine article titled Center for Disease Control: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Increasing in Older Kids indicates that researchers are wondering if this trend is due to the marketing of stimulant medication by the pharmaceutical industry. Many of these children are being misdiagnosed. How many of them actually have diagnoses of depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress... 8/14/2008 11:06:08 PM
by Beth Rosenshein According to the National Women's Health Information Center, the answer is most women. I don't agree. I believe every person, man or women, deserves to know if they have an illness and has the right to decide for themselves if they want treatment or not. So I contacted the National Women's Health Information Center via their website. I requested that women be informed that untreated menopause is untreated... 8/13/2008 10:31:01 PM
by Mary Kay Morgan, MS CPT It is widely accepted as fact that the rounded back condition known as Dowager's Hump is caused by osteoporosis. Conventional prevention and treatment options include a higher dairy consumption, calcium supplements, diagnostic bone scans and drugs like Fosamax and Boniva. But is this the end of the story? Maintenance of the spine is of up most importance if you want to remain tall, strong and "on our... 8/12/2008 6:27:06 PM
by Beth Rosenshein It feels good to see progress. I opened my email yesterday and saw that the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) had issued a new position statement on hormone use for women with hypogonadism (menopause). Normally, I find NAMS to be inaccurate, misleading, and insensitive to women struggling to find effective treatment for hypogonadism (menopause), so when I saw something that was actually scientifically... 8/6/2008 10:30:35 PM
by Beth Rosenshein One of my goals has been to change the idea that a woman can be a "healthy post-menopausal woman" without any treatment at all. This is my goal because every woman deserves an opportunity to receive treatment and be as healthy as she can be. It is more difficult to accomplish this goal when doctors actively discourage women from seeking effective treatment for a very real illness. Recently, Oprah had... 8/1/2008 7:48:37 AM
