“Bioidenticals” – a safe, proven alternative to synthetic replacement-hormone therapy
For many years, older women with symptoms associated with menopause - a health condition that affects 65 million people in the U.S. - have gone to their doctors for relief. For the most part, physicians have prescribed synthetic hormone-replacement therapy. And over time, FDA-approved synthetic hormones, specifically Premarin, Provera and Prempro (a combination of the two), have become the norm. In fact in 2001, Premarin was the best-selling drug in the U.S., with $2 billion in annual sales for its manufacturer, Wyeth.
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder
The health benefits of an active sex life are abundant, and have received impressive scholarly support from three recent studies. According to researchers at Queens University in Belfast, sexual activity strengthens pelvic muscles, thereby contributing to a decrease in incontinence; scholars at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that sexual intercourse strengthens the immune system by up to 30%; and a paper published by the Journal of American Medical Association reported that frequent ejaculation might decrease the likelihood of prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Research
Conventional medicine believes that excess testosterone is the cause of prostate cancer. However, the evidence is that estradiol (one of the estrogens) causes prostate cancer.
What is the PK Protocol?
The IV Lipid Exchange
In 2002 the Haverford Wellness Center had a clinical breakthrough when they began using increased doses of essential fatty acids and phosphatidylcholine orally and intravenously. Patients with Parkinson’s Disease, Autism and Schizophrenia had a profound improvement in their symptoms.
In the fall of 2003 the Haverford Wellness Center had an ALS patient in a wheelchair who walked on the third day of their intravenous therapy with phospholipids and glutathione. They have since had patients with many different kinds of neurological disorders who have responded to the therapy. The PK IV Protocol TM was developed by Dr. Patricia Kane, Ph.D. for health care professionals to have safe and efficient detoxification methods via targeted supplementation and intravenous therapy.
Tests could find ovarian cancer early
By MARIA CHENG
LONDON (AP) — Doctors screening women for ovarian cancer were able to pick up the disease about two years earlier than normal, according to a British study published Wednesday.
Scientists have long searched for a way to identify ovarian cancer early, which kills nearly 100,000 women worldwide every year. If it is found early, nearly 90 percent of women survive.
However, most women are currently only diagnosed with the disease after it has spread, when there is only a maximum 30 percent chance of survival.
