Couldn't agree more! After all it was another "expert" who sent me on my way to obesity with the "meal plan" they put me on because they thought I was gaining weight too fast with my second son. I had gained weight at the same rate in Germany with my first pregnancy and no one gave a hoot, 3...

What makes you think that it has something to do with "social healthcare" that some European countries don't recommend mammograms until 50? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that every time a woman does a mammogram she gets exposed to 1 rad. Do that yearly (that doesn't take into...

But he was from the other party :p;) I don't think the screening will ever be changed, Cancer Inc is a multi billion $$ industry. No politician can afford to go against them. :cool: Read my lips :p And there is way too many woman insisting that they want their mammograms, regardless of if it...

Ahhhhh, but your insurance company works on purely humanitarian reasons and sincerely cares about your health regardless of their profits. I wonder who has more of an incentive to cover necessary procedure - a for profit company that pays millions of $$ to their CEO or a not-for-profit...

It depends on which statistic you look at. The breast cancer rate dropped because of the decline of prescription of Prempro (hormone replacement drug) from 60 million in 2001 to 20 million in 2005. In a clinical trial of the drug it was found that within a year of women quitting Prempro...

1,300 calories while working out sounds pretty darn low! :eek: I'd be gnawing my left arm off. That being said, I don't think it depends so much on the calories but more on what you eat. If you don't give your body the nutrients that it needs the reaction will be hunger attacks, no matter how...

Oh Michele, I am so sorry about your cousin!!! Boy, it is really time for a new year to start. ((((((((Michele)))))) I am in, I sure could use some motivation!

Underfunded as long as it comes to doing their job when it comes to drug makers and big food industry but they have plenty of money to conduct armed raids at naturopathic clinics, vitamin makers and sending "warning" letters to Dr. Weil and the likes to "stop recommending supplements that booste...

How would that be lucky timing? It would be about the worst time to make this public while they are still trying to get the health care bill through knowing that the Republicans and anyone who they scared about the new health care bill will be having a hay day with it. This is what Dr. Susan...

This is true! But what about those women who wouldn't have gotten breast cancer if it wasn't for the radiation exposure to mammograms? I don't think there is any doubt that radiation cleary can cause cancer? What about the women who are needlessly treated with chemo and radiation and die from...

I think one of the things that I liked best about the German insurance system - now that I have lived in the US for over 13 years - is that the insurance really had not much of a say about the treatment as long as the doctor recommended / approved it. The same for all insurances because of...

I didn't see anyone pitch anything???

Early detection does not necessarily mean better chances of cure. The recommendation for the change in mammograms does not have anything to do with rationing but more with the weighing the risk against the benefit. I think it is hard for people to wrap their heads around this because it goes...

Look who talks!!:p;):D

Why don't you consider your own tone before you preach to others and jump on their thoat, Ellie?

LOL!! I hate to admit it but I was actually alive (though very young) but I didn't live in the US in the 70s :eek: No exposure to swine flu. We are exposed to a whole bunch of viruses on a daily basis. Exposure does not automatically equal infection. In general our bodies are pretty capable...

But how could you contract it from the vaccine? I thought the injection is the dead virus, I always thought you can only get it from the live virus - if at all? I wasn't talking about you. I just commented that there is a mass hysteria in my area and the doctor's offices are overrun by people...

Interesting! Just because your nasal swab came back positive doesn't mean that you were infected though. People can carry the virus in their nasal passage and never get sick, vaccinated or not. My kids had H1N1 and I never got it, I wasn't vaccinated. I am sure if a doctor had done the nasal...

For 8 years I was the quintessential yoyo dieter, I went from 130 lbs to over 270 lbs (I stopped stepping on the scale at 274, I don't know how much the actual damage was) I tried every diet and exercise on the planet. It wasn't until my dear friend Michele forced me to get Cardio Coach workouts...

All of that is why that greedy bunch should be regulated!! :mad::mad:
