Another Menopausal Treatment Increases Risk of Cancer Recurreance
2009-02-20 02:23:00
On the heels of our report on concerns for increased risks of breast cancer from Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) comes new evidence that another option for treating menopausal symptoms, Livial (a synthetic hormone, with a generic formula known as Tibolone), may also raise the risk for breast cancer.Maybe hot flashes aren't so bad after all. Many women who experience the very bothersome side effects of menopause are looking for options to help relieve their symptoms. However, over the last few weeks we have seen reports that are very disturbing regarding the chances of breast cancer being elevated in women who try to ward off menopausal symptoms.HRT, and now Livial, a synthetic steroid also used to treat menopausal symptoms, has been shown to significantly increase the odds of breast cancer recurrence. Researchers halted the study six months early due to the drastically increased risk of recurrent breast cancer found while studying women who were taking Tibolone. The recently rele...

Interest in and awareness of Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy has skyrocketed among the public in recent weeks following the airing of two back-to-back Oprah shows on the subject.As renowned hormone restoration expert and lecturer Dr. Sangeeta Pati recently commented, "Oprah has provided the perfect platform for a real discussion on a hotly debated and critically important topic for aging America, ?Bio-identical Hormones'."Bio-identical hormones are available in a wide variety of FDA-approved delivery systems, but special training on individualized treatment of patients suffering symptoms of hormonal imbalance is needed.Such training is available through the A4M and its Board Certification and a variety of the Academy's workshops focusing on hormone restoration.With the demand for BHRT now far exceeding the supply of trained doctors, A4M is issuing a call to action to the nation's doctors to commence board certification studies at the 17th World Congress on Anti-Aging an...

Sex among Seniors
2009-02-09 18:08:00
I don?t know why ?some people? in the USA are surprised to know that those over the age of 65 still ?have sex.? What were they thinking? Do ?some people? really believe that the need and desire for sex suddenly evaporates when you hit a certain age? They shouldn?t; history has proven otherwise. It isn?t only the young who are restless. A gynecologist in Victorian England recorded that ?ladies, well past their child-bearing years, make their spouses very happy by continuing to be available for intimate pleasures. Sexual activity is even more pleasurable because there is no longer a worry about an unplanned pregnancy.?The sky it seemed was the limit then. Imagine what it is like now as the Boomer generation of the sixties is healthier and more active in all areas of their lives including sex.Read more

Rapid menopause can increase the risk of heart disease
2009-02-06 00:30:00
A study conducted by the Los Angeles Atherosclerosis of 203 women between the ages of 45 and 60 determined that those who transitioned from being premenopausal to fully postmenopausal within three years had a greater buildup of fatty plaque in their carotid arteries. This placed them at an increased risk for a higher rate of "preclinical atherosclerosis" ? the narrowing of arteries due to thickening of their artery walls.Of the 203 women, 52 were premenopausal, 20 were perimenopausal and 131 were postmenopausal. None had prior cardiac disease. The participants were first evaluated as they entered the study, then again at two 18-month intervals. Evaluations were not made using such subjective factors as hot flashes, but rather on carotid intimal-media thickness (cIMT) measurements and objective measures of menopausal status based on hormone levels and physiologic changes."We know that more fatty plaque accumulation predicts future heart attacks and strokes, but this is our first vent...

Bio-Identical Hormones, Oprah and Some Important Facts
2009-02-06 00:28:00
(We recently asked Sangeeta Pati, FACOG to reflect on the impact of Oprah 's recent shows on HRT and give us her thoughts on bio-identical hormones. Dr. Patti will be presenting an important workshop addressing hormone therapy at the upcoming 17th World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine in Orlando this spring. At the conference doctors can also commence their Anti-Aging Board Certification training.)Logic dictates that human identical, bio-identical products are the only acceptable products when we are restoring hormones or nutrients. Why use a product that acts like the real thing when you can get the real thing? Oprah's show brings to the forefront of discussion the real need to help women (and I should add men) who suffer from symptoms and the real need for people to continue their quest for better health and options.I would like to comment on three issues that came up during Oprah's recent show on hormone replacement therapy:1. Risk in women? When women consider hormone replacem...

Synthesized viper venom provides a promising new antidote to wrinkles
2009-02-02 19:41:00
The primary ingredient in the new face cream is a synthetic version of the poisonous venom from the Temple Viper , a distance cousin of the rattlesnake commonly found in Thailand. According to the manufacturer, amino acids in the venom block nerve signals telling face muscles to contract. This helps stop wrinkles from forming. Snake venom has already been used in a lip-gloss called Lip Venom , which its manufacturer Du Wop says ?plumps out the lips.? As Dr. Aamer Khan, Medical Director of the Harley Street Medical Skin Clinic in London, notes: ?This could work for somebody who doesn't want injections. The effects are not going to be as dramatic as with Botox. It will also need to be reapplied as the body gets rid of it quickly.? The new face cream, which is sold in 30 ml pots that last about 30 days, has already become a best seller at the upscale British department store chain of Selfridges & Co. And as reported in the Daily Telegraph, Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is a ?devotee? of t...

Important Testosterone Information
2009-01-29 18:58:00
Although it?s normal for testosterone levels to drop as men age, low testosterone can affect a man?s health. In many ways, testosterone is the stuff that makes men men. The rush of new testosterone in puberty builds muscle and bone, deepens the voice, and revs up the sex drive. Throughout a man?s life, testosterone maintains his male characteristics.Testosterone levels start to decline at age 30 and decline steadily after age 40. The decline averages about 1% to 2% per year. By middle age and older, virtually all men experience some decline in testosterone. A certain percentage of aging men have testosterone levels far below those considered normal for their age.Is this low testosterone part of normal aging? Is low testosterone a medical problem that needs treatment? The answer is yes and yes.Most men with symptoms of low testosterone will get some benefit from treatment (testosterone replacement therapy or TRT).What is Low Testosterone?In our practice, low testosterone is defined a...

Oprah is Talking About Bioidentical Hormones for Menopause; Experts Weigh i
2009-01-27 16:34:00
information provided by http://www.griffinmedical.com/Oprah Winfrey says menopause caught her "off guard" and that she's taking bioidentical hormones that have made a big improvement in how she feels.Bioidentical hormones are one form of therapy for menopausal symptoms. Winfrey, who turns 55 this month, writes in February's edition of O, The Oprah Magazine that she felt "out of kilter" and had "issues" for two years that she suspected were hormonal. Upon a friend's recommendation, Winfrey went to a doctor who specializes in bioidentical hormones.Winfrey writes that the hormone specialist told her that her "hormonal tank was empty" and gave her a prescription for bioidentical estrogen."After one day on bioidentical estrogen, I felt the veil lift," Winfrey writes. "After three days, the sky was bluer, my brain was no longer fuzzy, my memory was sharper. I was literally singing and had a skip in my step."Winfrey isn't recommending bioidentical hormones for every menopausal woman. I...

Grape Seed Extract Triggers Leukemia Cell Death
2009-01-08 18:14:00
In a new in vitro experiment, grape seed extract caused human leukemia cells to commit cell suicide (a process known as apoptosis).In past studies, grape seed extract has shown activity in a number of laboratory cancer cell lines, including skin, breast, colon, lung, stomach and prostate cancers. However, until now, the extract had not been tested in hematological cancers such as leukemia. In addition, the precise mechanism of action by which it has demonstrated activity against other cancer lines has never been revealed. Consequently, researchers undertook a new study on grape seed extract to determine what effects grape seed extract has on leukemia cells.The scientists, who report their findings in Clinical Cancer Research, treated human leukemia cells with varying doses of grape seed extract. Their findings indicated that within 24 hours, 76 percent of leukemia cells had died after being exposed to the higher dose of the extract. The extract did not affect normal cells.The resear...

2009-01-08 18:13:00
Middle-age is a time of transition for most people, and for women, it usually means the transition into menopause. Outside of menstrual periods ending, menopause also signifies a major shift in hormones that make our bodies tick. A large study of women moving from perimenopause through menopause has found that certain cardiovascular risks increase exponentially for women, but the good news is, there are things they can do about it. Menopause Menopause is the time when a woman has stopped having menstrual periods. In the few years leading up to that time, a woman?s periods are likely to be irregular and sporadic. Therefore, researchers say that menopause has officially occurred when a woman has gone without a period for 12 consecutive months.According to the North American Menopause Society, more than 45 million American women have reached menopause. The average age at the time of menopause is 51. The Metabolic Syndrome The metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of conditions ass...
