Therapy should be therapy

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

What do you expect of menopausal hormone therapy?

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

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

How Many Children are Misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?
by Bob_Livingstone
About Me View My Posts
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

Who doesn't need treatment for menopause?

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

Estrogen and sex

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

About Me View My Posts
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
