As I discuss in my book, A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race, the role of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs in cancer prevention continues to be debated because of contradictory research findings.  (While some clinical research studies have suggested that long-term statin use may reduce cancer risk, other studies have not shown any apparent improvement in...
Known risk factors for breast cancer include: (1) age greater than 60, (2) a previous personal history of breast cancer or precancerous conditions of the breast (such as atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, atypical ductal hyperplasia, or ductal carcinoma in situ), (3) one or more first degree relatives with breast cancer,...
I have written extensively about Vitamin D in the past, particularly in the areas of cancer prevention and cardiovascular disease prevention.  As regular readers of this column already know, Vitamin D, which actually functions more like a hormone than a vitamin, appears to be the only vitamin with clinically significant cancer prevention and cardiovascular...
The earlier that cancer is detected, the greater the likelihood of cure.  Therefore, cancer researchers are always looking for more sensitive tests that can detect cancer at the earliest possible stage.  When I was a cancer research fellow working in the lab, I used an exquisitely sensitive chemical test to identify trace amounts of genetic...
Superficiality is a necessary part of liberal-progressive-socialism. Without bothering to determine how deep the water or how many boulders lie just below its surface, liberal-progressives are ready to leap head first off the cliff into any pool that looks nice on the surface, from afar. A typical example of such superficiality is described in...
Politicians will always falsely blame inflation on businessmen’s “greed.” But only government deficit spending using fiat money can create inflation. Inflation consists in increasing the money supply faster than the increase in production of goods that people want, the condition we endure today, in spades. If it were true, as liberal-progressives and politicians of...
Inflation that affects the entire economy originates with government action. Price increases that arise from temporary imbalances between supply and demand in specific product markets are not examples of general inflation. If bad weather or other factors reduce the yield of food crops like wheat or corn, the lowered supply (or anticipation of reduced...
The two most commonly used treatments for early-stage prostate cancer, surgery and radiation therapy, are both associated with a significant risk of potential complications, including impotence and varying degrees of urinary incontinence.  Because of these serious side effects of prostate cancer therapy, new approaches to the management of this common type of cancer are...
Most Americans fail to plan adequately for retirement and consequently miss out on opportunities to enjoy the last third of life. The best and most rewarding financial planning is not just about the numbers but rather takes place in the context of personal goals. Retirement used to mean not only a complete withdrawal from...
It doesn’t mean wife-swapping, marital infidelity, or sexual promiscuity. In today’s sermon at the Cohocton (NY) Assembly of God church, Pastor Dan Gardner’s text was Roman 13:8-10: 8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall...
Although I was initially opposed to the idea, my wife recently decided to buy a Nintendo Wii game system for our 9 year-old daughter and 6 year-old son.  Like many school-age children, our two kids already seem to have more sports classes, academic classes outside of school, and play dates than they have time to...
The lamestream media told you: “There are now so many stars known to exist in the universe, there simply must be life out there somewhere, in addition to our own… scientists have reported that there are three times as many stars as they previously thought.†http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/12/12/20101212alien-life1212.html#ixzz19uP6Sxns The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: This prognosticating...
So, a man sued his ex-girlfriend for fraud and emotional distress after she secured a court order demanding he pay child support for their two year-old daughter. The reason? This woman saved his semen after performing oral sex and secretly impregnated herself. No, this is not a new plotline of absurd television show One...
I can’t help but notice that the new wave of Tea Party Republicans, said to be on probation until they’ve proven themselves, have quickly circled their wagons to defend the established RINO culture. To make the point, we might as well start with the extremely popular young senator Rand Paul. But if you’re paying...
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country Now that the ‘New World Order‘ has finally materialized, and this full blown conspiracy is not just a theory anymore, the nonbelievers who were threatened with the stigma of being labeled a ‘kook’ are trying to live with...
In one of my regular forum haunts, I’m reading comments from a parent whose son is still being subjected to global warming propaganda. It’s one of the most atrocious political cons that’s ever been foisted on the public. You could call it the Big Lie that got out of control. It’s political fraud, not...
As part of my continuing effort to develop credentials as an environmental journalist, I offer you this sensational breaking world exclusive. (Previous EJ article.) It’s the perfect solution to everything. It’s said to represent the keenest investment ever in the future of personkind ever conceived. It will at once solve the climate change problem,...
PEPSI PANDERS TO STEREOTYPICAL BEHAVIOR During Super Bowl XLV there was a commercial for Pepsi Maxx that hit every sexist stereotype possible. The Pepsi commercial “Love Hurts†portrays an abusive, sexist and morally indefensible relationship. Pepsi should immediately issue a statement that its failed attempt at humor was wrong and they will never run...
Alpha-lipoic acid plays a very important role in the energy production centers of our cells (mitochondria). In recent years, clinical research has suggested that alpha-lipoic acid supplements may have a variety of potential health benefits, including a possible reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease. Recent laboratory research has also shown that alpha-lipoic acid...
