Ketogenic Diet: New Cancer Treatment or Old Ignored Anti-Cancer Strategy?

DrSteve — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:46:48 +0000

One of the most prominent metabolic abnormalities in cancer cells is an increase in glucose consumption and the conversion of glucose to lactic acid (via the reduction of pyruvate for the tecchies out there) even when oxygen is present. This is known as aerobic glycolysis or the Warburg effect and may provide a plausible strategy [...]

Real Integrative Care vs. Hoaxes and Scams

Dr.Steve — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:01:17 +0000

Found this video and thought I’d comment on it. There’s oh so much on the internet these days and it’s tempting to believe what we read. It’s the human condition. However, what you may be seeing could be a total hoax and it is not always easy to figure it out. I’m all for “Integrative Healthcare”, which is a responsible integration of proven mainstream therapies and alternative, natural and complementary approaches which have some scientific proof behind them and AT LEAST are not likely to harm you…..based on science.

So, how do you know the difference? Truth or Scam? Reality or Hoax? Especially if you are fighting a life threatening disease, like cancer, it may be tough to focus and stay clear in mind. This is especially true if you don’t have a personal physician you can trust in a time of scary panic. My advice is to find one. If not, heed this video and be very careful about who you select on the internet to help you find the way. My second piece of advice is to look for those who offer scientific proof rather than individual “testimonials”. Even if you are a conspiracy theory believer and hate the FDA and the “establishment”, remember that the concepts behind science are thousands of years old. It’s the best objective barometer for you to help decide what course you will take. It could be life or death.

After viewing this video, I just have one additional comment. I disagree that the term “natural” necessarily means “hoax”, but beware nonetheless. It is truly a word that can be twisted in many ways and there are unfortunately those who will knowingly or naively twist it in a way that may be harmful to you.

Obama Health Plan Reviewed in 4 Minutes

Dr.Steve — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:19:37 +0000

I think there are definite pros and cons to this, and one can’t fix what’s been broken for decades in a few minutes. But, I think everyone would agree that we need to move forward and actively address these issues. For those that have been confused, this is a BRIEF video overview (move mouse over image) of the main points of the Obama Health Plan. See what YOU think, read my thoughts below and please, comment !!

You can find the ENTIRE plan at Whitehouse.gov

As a backdrop, the World Health Organization last published health systems international rank back in 2000, and this was highly quoted in Sicko (…the movie). The US system came in at #37 out of 190. Respectable, but not great since we spend the most money per capita. On the other hand, despite major issues on an individual basis (i.e. EVERYONE has a “story” about something) consumer satisfaction is ranked pretty high in the US. Many of the “top” countries have quotas and a long waiting time for elective surgery (including things like hip replacement). In other words, despite arguments from any possible political position, the grass is always greener on the other side given any specific issue.

Anyway, clearly we can improve. How is the question?

How about this? Should taking personal responsibility for health be a priority (i.e. eating healthy and exercise and natural prevention vs. coming in after years of abuse and asking ANY “system” to fix the problem/disease)? Should that maybe affect your personal co-pays for certain situations?

How about exploration of less expensive natural remedies to get BACK into a health condition? The latter is not always possible for some lethal diseases, but may not hurt when used in a thoughtful integrative medicine approach.
