Statin drugs have become so popular in medical circles that some people were joking, "They should be put in the water." Perhaps that is not water some would like to drink. In fact, due to marketing efforts and studies published by statin companies, statin drugs have become what doctors refer to as "standard of care" meaning, if a doctor DOESN'T prescribe them, they are outside of the limits of acceptable medical practice. In the past, the administration of statin drugs was well known to cause a rapid decline in the body's stores of Co-Q 10.

According to current research in Australia, high carbohydrate foods may flare up acne in some people. Chronic consumption of high carbs stimulates the excessive production of insulin so that eventually more insulin is needed to aid glucose into cells; this is known as "insulin resistance".

Here we present some of them: 1. Chocolate and Pizza can cause acne:

When you go to the doctor she may run a series of ‘routine tests.’ However, there are different tests that paint completely different pictures. For instance, a CBC (complete blood count) is used to measure the level of various blood cells, such as white blood cells and red blood cells.

It is our habit to view any sort of medical condition with apprehension. Going to the doctor for a consultation, apart from being annoying and time consuming, can also be very unsuccessful.

A Growing Problem under the Old Plan More and more of us find ourselves struggling to reconcile the high prices we are paying for health care insurance with the frustratingly limited care we are able to get from our doctors.

Dispelling the Myths about Testosterone Replacement Therapy or TRT. Today, many people, including surprisingly most practising doctors, still cling on to the old dogma that Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for older men is dangerous and leads to an increased incidence of prostate cancer.

Skin, like all organs of the body, undergoes changes due to the passage of time. Because exposed skin on the face, neck, chest and hands is subjected to damage from the environment, our skin often looks older than we feel.

A large population of people believe that the way to losing weight and gaining good health is through eating low-fat and/or fat-free foods. Ironically, while we Americans are eating less fat, we Americans are getting fatter! Interestingly enough, the 2006 Women’s Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial showed that women on low-fat diets didn’t lose any more weight than women who followed their usual diets. Low-fat and fat-free foods are very convenient – and they just sound so healthy! Grocery shelves are lined with food labels hyping low-fat cakes, cookies, desserts, etc.

Some time ago, I was asked this question, "How do you discover your life purpose?" The person who asked this question was in his late forties, and can be considered to be reasonably successful financially. Yet, to him, there was something else that seemed to be missing in his life.

Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder. However in today’s day and age there is a very clear definition of what is considered beautiful which has been created by a host of celebrities we worship.

Ten years from now where will health care be? Will all Americans have health insurance? Will health care be delivered in the best way possible? Will costs be contained? No one knows for sure.

I say we stop

Shoeho ing the Wrong Diagnosis. Dr Andrew Rynne. Please don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against self-diagnosis and self-help when it comes to your health. Nor am I saying for one second that doctor knows best and patients should do what they are told to do by their doctor. On the contrary, I am all in favour of assertiveness in the doctor’s consulting room, all in favour of asking loads of questions and keeping the medics on their toes. As one myself I can assure you that doctors do NOT always know best or even know at all.

We make decisions every day. Most times, these decisions do not lead to a significant change in outcome. For example, we decide whether to have sandwich or pizza for dinner, or we decide whether to watch a movie or go to the park this weekend. However, some decisions can lead to big changes in our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Changing career is one such example of a significant decision. Relocating to a new house, neighborhood or country is another. Deciding whether to continue with certain therapies or not when we are unwell is also potentially life altering.

Who doesn’t love a good treat every once in a while, and let’s be honest it’s fun and easy to overindulge in high-calorie goodness. Wait . . . are we still talking about dogs here?

There was a time in the skin care industry that all products were designed with the female users in mind. The women were the only target in the huge beauty and skin care business. The men were generally ignored. When the few men who showed interest in products like cream, serum, oils, body lotions and the like, they have to get these products in the women’s section of every department store. At home, men had to borrow the skin care products of their sisters, mothers or wive

Each year we repeat the same cycle. Each year we end the summer tanned, more fit and feeling great. Then the holiday season begins- first with orange tooth candy at Halloween (O.K. that's not even tasty), then the big turkey or tofurkey feast on Thanksgiving. By this time, our bodies and our will are reduced. We then spend the next weeks intermittently foraging like bears before the hibe ation on sweets at work, delicacies at parties, alcohol, punch and just for that little extra, those dinner parties that top off our efforts.
