Balanced Bio-identical Hormones will help you lose weight and sharpen your memory
Robert G Carlson, MD, FACS
A recent report in the Gynecology and Endocrinology literature reinforced all the amazing benefits of Bio-identical hormone therapies. This study looked at 189 patients in an over a 12 month study using natural topical estrogen plus progesterone with or without DHEA or testosterone. 97% of patients experienced control of their menopausal signs and symptoms. Mental symptoms experienced upon presentation improved an amazing 90% of time in patients. Sixty percent of the patients, who had gained weight during menopause, lost an average of 14.8 lbs. Studies from Europe have also demonstrated a 24% reduction in breast cancer. The benefits of using bio-identical hormone replacement therapies is finally become more elucidated. The disadvantage (to Big Pharma) of course is there is a dramatic reduction in the sale of their products which are made from horse urine estrogens, and a synthetic cancer-causing progestin. Twelve studies in last five years have proven that synthetic progesterone, or progestins CAUSE breast and Uterine cancer. With the balancing of hormones, I see a tremendous drop in the need for antidepressants, anti-anxieties, and sleeping pills. Just remember, “they” don’t want you to get better, they just want you to keep taking all the drugs they promote on TV (Cymbalta, Lexapro, Effexor, Lunesta; Sonata etc).

Navigating The Truth About Vitamin D...keep taking at least 5000 units a day
Navigating The Truth About Vitamin D
Robert G Carlson, MD, FACS
As a Cardiac surgeon with extensive training in Oncologic (cancer) surgery, I find comfort and trust in the articles from the heart and cancer journals as a foundation for guiding my practice in medicine. The Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular had an incredible overview of the cardiac benefits of Vitamin D with the reduction in inflammation, the primary cause of heart disease, reduction in blood pressure, reduction in heart wall thickening and peripheral vascular disease, as well as reduction in Diabetes for about $20 a year. I trust the DeBakey heart center. And of course numerous Epidemiologic studies, Meta –analyses, and Double Blinded Randomized Prospective trials that have clearly demonstrated a dramatic reduction in cancer. In addition, Dr. Cannell devotes hours to researching the benefits of Vitamin D and offers his non-profit organization’s web site to review his plethora of studies and insights. Dr Michael F. Holick, PhD, MD, Professor of Medicine, and Dr. Cedric F. Garland, a Professor from the UCSD Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, openly share their excitement and knowledge in identifying something so inexpensive, and beneficial to health, that would essentially break the American Cancer Society into shreds and reduce the need for unnecessary chemotherapies by over 50 %, and reduce a majority of the disease of aging. Now a quasi-governmental group of profit-only, hired guns, called the Institute of Medicine’s Food and Nutrition Board, with only a few physicians hidden deep in their Ivory towers, and the rest nutritionists, want me to disregard all of my cardiac and oncology literature…well I’m not changing the way I take care of my heart patients because some nutritionist didn’t like the articles he read about the medical benefits, and told me to forget about the over 500 articles written about the amazing benefits of Vitamin D, and actually reduce the acceptable low levels of vitamin D in your blood stream because…well I have no idea. Especially when levels in the mid to upper range have repeatedly demonstrated dramatic improvements in health. Well I’m sorry guys. If I depended on a nutritionist to interpret medical journals identifying the cardiac and cancer reducing benefits of Vitamin D, then I should just bury my head in the sand and wait for a 20 year randomized double blinded placebo control trial that will tell me when I am 75 years old that I could have dramatically reduced my risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis. If only I would have taken more vitamin D, but they frightened me away from doing the right thing. By the way, the article that suggests that maybe, kinda, sorta, that Vitamin D could increase pancreatic cancer is impossible to locate on pub med and other reliable sources and the only way I could possible see where the article is located is if I pay them sixty dollars to see there documentation. Also why would this “committee” of wise men disregard the intellectual writings and research of over 14 of the nation’s experts in Vitamin D metabolism? It’s because this report, which you and I paid for to be done through our hard earned money and paid taxes, and can’t read it unless you pay even more money, is a needless waste of paper and should be disregarded. Nobody is making any money selling vitamin D supplements at 20 dollars a year, but what about all the poor cancer patients that are receiving deadly, expensive chemotherapies and the pharmaceutical companies and oncology practices that are making massive amounts of money managing cancer patients, a condition, cancer, that was reduced by 77% by Vitamin D supplementation in a well designed study. You do the math…you follow the money...
