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

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

Oprah and menopause
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
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

Coping With a Drop in Home Prices

Over the past year you've watched as real estate in your neighborhood dropped in value. It didn't really hit home, though, until last week when your next door neighbors told you they hadn't made mortgage payments for five months, that the bank was foreclosing, and that they'd be moving soon. For the first time you're looking closely at your own home, wondering what the future holds. Consider a not... 7/31/2008 10:35:04 PM

The warning that should appear on sunscreen containers is, "Warning -- you're not getting enough sun." Sunlight is just like a food nutrient that your body needs in order to function in a healthful way. Exposure to sunlight, for example, creates Vitamin D in your body. Vitamin D, as recent studies have shown, is preventative for most cancers in women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung... 7/30/2008 1:24:25 PM

I was talking to a friend of mine today, who happens to be a pharmacist, and we were musing over how easily women give up when told that they do not need treatment or invalidate the things that they say they are experiencing. If a man feels that he is not receiving appropriate treatment or his provider is not listening to him, he is willing to find someone who will help him. My friend sees it every... 7/28/2008 7:43:42 AM

Does your child's rubber ducky have phthlates?
by Dr. Laura Markham
About Me View My Posts
Did you know that many toys have phthalates in them? Hundreds of independent studies published in respectable, peer-reviewed scientific journals over the past forty years have linked phthalate exposure to serious health effects in children, including reduced testosterone levels, lowered sperm counts, early puberty in girls, and genital defects in baby boys. And yet many soft plastic or vinyl toys,... 7/22/2008 11:31:36 AM

Nails Aren't Just For Painting

As Sara was filling out her nutrition history form, I took a glance at her nails. Her nail beds showed up as thin, concaved, and had raised ridges. I suggested she gets her iron tested. People don't come into a nutrition consultation reporting nail problems but I check them anyway. They offer so many clues to what is going on inside of a person. Sara returned to our next session with a doctor's report... 7/10/2008 8:31:28 AM

It's not the brain freeze from your mid-day frozen yogurt, or the intensity of focusing on your brow point from yoga class, but the middle of your eyebrows won't stop pulsing since you stepped outside from your relaxing air conditioned home. As most of you have been feeling, the heat is on in the city and headache prone individuals have been feeling it most of all. There are plenty of things you can... 7/10/2008 8:30:56 AM
