Bioidentical Hormones and Medical GhostWriting, the Latest Scandal by Jeffrey Dach MD Why is My Doctor Opposed to Bioidentical Hormones? Linda is 53, and suffering from menopausal symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and mood disturbance. While at the hair salon, a friend told her she needed hormone therapy, so she went on the internet to read up on it. Linda learned about the Womens's Health Inititative Study that showed synthetic hormones are unsafe, causing breast cancer and heart disease. Once she learned this information, she then felt confident her OB Gyne doctor would prescribe the safer bioidenticals for her. Next, she cheerfully made an appointment and paid her OB Gyne doctor a visit, thinking he would be happy to prescribe bioidentical hormones. To her surprise, Linda's doctor was not at all pleased with her for bringing up the topic. Her doctor scowled, said "those aren't any good", and besides, "there is no evidence that bioidentical hormones are any safer than synthetics". Linda ran out the door crying all the way home. A few days later, Linda was sitting with me in my office asking, "Why is my doctor opposed to bioidentical hormones?"<< MORE >>

10 Ten Bioidentical Hormone Fallacies of Staness Jonekos. A recent article on hormones for menopause caught my attention. I was puzzled by the fact that the author, Staness Jonekos, has no medical credentials, training or even a rudimentary knowledge of biological science. Rather, she is an actress with a theater arts degree from UCLA. She chronicled her menopause experience with a book and blog entitled Menopause Makover. Staness joined up with Wendy Klein MD , an academic physician who advocates synthetic, chemically altered hormones (progestins), and SSRI antidepressants . "10 Hormone Therapy Facts ", is a compilation of nonsense, falsehoods, and half truths, with a hidden agenda to promote synthetic hormone industry and malign natural bioidentical hormones. << MORE >>

Why Natural Thyroid is Better than Synthetic by Jeffrey Dach MD We use exclusively natural thyroid in our office, and a few times every day, I find myself explaining why natural thyroid is superior to Synthroid. In this article, we will explain why natural thyroid tablets are better than synthetic T4 only tablets, also called Synthroid. Synthroid contains Thyroxine also called T4,which is identical hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Levothyroxine is the generic form of Synthroid. Common brand names include Thyrax, Euthyrox, Levaxin, L-thyroxine, Eltroxin and Thyrax Duotab in Europe; Thyrox in South Asia; Eutirox, Levoxyl and Synthroid in North America. Strictly speaking, Synthroid is bio-identical, even though it is synthetic.<< MORE >>

Bioidentical Hormones According to Chris Woolston LA Times by Jeffrey Dach MD. An article caught my attention on bioidentical hormones appearing in the June 7 Los Angeles Times. The writer, Chris Woolston (left image), is a medical journalist with a master's degree in biology, and a surprising command of the topic. I found his article more balanced than a previous article by AP writer Marilynn Marchione which could be described as junk journalism. Nonetheless, Woolston's article contains a number of omissions, errors and falsehoods that deserve correction. << MORE >>

Less is More, Mainstream Goes Alternative by Jeffrey Dach MD. Deborah Grady's editorial in the May 10 Annals of Internal Medicine proclaimed a shocking "medical heresy", that less health care is better than more health care. US Health care is generally assumed and expected to be beneficial, yet when outcomes are measured, studies show that more health care equates with worse outcomes, not better. This revelation isn't new, and is actually old news. The real news is that this "medical heresy" in now appearing in a mainstream medical journal. << MORE >>

Selenium Reduces Mortality in the ICU by Jeffrey Dach MD.

Synthetic Hormones, Pfizer-Wyeth Lose Big Court Case by Jeffrey Dach MD. Pfizer-Wyeth Loses Case. Prempro Causes Breast Cancer. 112 Million in Punitive Damages by Jeffrey Dach MD. A 112 million dollar punitive is a very loud statement. It states that the jury was outraged by the "wanton and reckless” conduct by Wyeth. 112 Million Dollars in punitive damages was awarded to two breast cancer victims who took Wyeth's synthetic hormone, Prempro, all the while thinking it safe. The jury was outraged that Wyeth ignored and suppressed evidence that Prempro causes breast cancer. Wyeth paid consultants and ghostwriters of medical journal articles to play down concerns about breast cancer, and declined to study known risks. Once again, company profit was placed ahead of patient safety. This is the tip of the iceberg, as another ten thousand cases are waiting for their day in court. Seven years ago massive numbers of women switched from Prempro to safer bio-identical hormones. This was the 2002 WHI study which showed that PremPro causes breast cancer. This massive shift away from synthetic Prempro reduced breast cancer rates to 10,000 fewer cases per year...<< MORE >>

Mammogram Guideline Reversal by Jeffrey Dach MD In a dramatic break from enshrined medical dogma, the US Preventive Task Force changed their guidelines for screening mammography. Published in today's Annal of Internal Medicine, their advice is against screening for the 40-50 age group, bringing guidelines up to date with the rest of Europe. The basic underlying problem with screening for breast cancer with mammography is the problem of the "reservoir of silent disease". A series of autopsy studies show that indolent breast cancers are common in the population. These indolent cancers are silent and never cause clinical disease. The most impressive study was from Denmark in 1987. The Danish group used specimen radiography on autopsy samples, which most closely approximates what screening mammography does, searching for and finding small clusters of calcifications. The Danish team found invasive malignancy in 2%, and DCIS (ductal carcinoma in-situ) in 18% of 110 women.<< MORE >>

HCG for Low Testosterone, Thanks to John Crisler D.O. For many men with low testosterone, HCG is a useful add-on for their program. Thanks to Dr. John Crisler for sharing his HCG protocol which can be found here or here. What is HCG ? HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. HCG is a a bio-identical human hormone that is well known for decades in medical research and clinical medicine as a hormone secreted by the placenta in the pregnant female. Why give HCG to Males? The male analog of HCG is LH, also called Leuteinizing hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary. HCG is almost identical to LH (leutinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary), and serves as an LH analog in the male. Jeffrey Dach, Eugene Shippen, LH... << MORE >>

The Mouse That Killed Cancer by Jeffrey Dach MD. Spontaneous Regression of Cancer in the Mouse. This cancer killing mouse was separated from the others and earmarked for study. How was it possible this mouse kills cancer cells? What was the cellular and molecular mechanism for the cancer cells dying? Over the next 3 years, research studies showed these mice to have genetically determined innate immunity to cancer. Their immune system mobilized leukocytes, (white blood cells called macrophages), to recognize the cancer cells, attack and kill them, just as they do for any other foreign invader. These mice were dubbed SR/CR mice for Spontaneous Regression/Complete Resistant (to Cancer)... << MORE >>

Low Testosterone Could Be Killing You by Jeffrey Dach MD. Two reports published in the medical literature showed that low testosterone is associated with increased mortality.One study published in 2008 tracked nearly 800 men, 50 to 91 years old, living in California. Their testosterone level was measured at the beginning of the study, and their health was then tracked over the next 20 years. Low testosterone symptoms reported by these men included decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue loss of strength, decrease in bone density and decreased muscle mass. Also, these men tended to be overweight or obese, and at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Men with the lowest testosterone, below 241 total serum level, were 40% more likely to die. << MORE >>

One CNN TV anouncer even suggested that statins should be put into the water supply. THe study showed that patients with elevated CRP have fewer cardiac events after 2 years on Crestor.

Why We Need Single Payer Health Care by Jeffrey Dach MD. There are two main arguments in favor of single payer health care, also called Medicare for All, or bill HR 676 (John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich).The first is the ethical moral argument. Health insurance companies make their profit by denying health care to sick people. That is immoral and unethical.The second argument is economic. Our current system is too expensive for us to bear. Almost lf the bankruptcies currently filed in the United States are because of medical bills. We are paying twice what other countries pay for universal health care, yet we have 45 million unisured and 18,000 deaths annually caused by lack of access to health care. Medicare is our example of a successful single payer system which has an administrative overhead of 2%, not 30%. universal, insurance,Steffie Woolhandler.. << MORE >>

Increased Mortality from Androgen Blockade for Prostate Cancer by Jeffrey Dach MD.Diagnosis and Treatment of Postate Cancer. Since the invention of the PSA test for prostate cancer, it is quite common to detect elevated PSA in the male population. Mainstream medical practice for these patients with elevated PSA's (prostate specific antigen) is to refer then to a urologist for evaluation and possible treatment. Standard Urological practice is the trans rectal ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate. If prostate cancer is found on the biopsy, then the cancer is characterized according to agressiveness and invasiveness (Gleason Score). However a recent study by Dr. Amy Dosoretz, a radiation oncology resident with the Harvard Radiation Oncology Program in Boston has raised questions about the value of chemical castration. Her study showed that patients treated with the hormone shot to "knock out testosterone to shrink the prostate" had a poor outcome. They had a 20% increase in mortality.Androgen, Prostate, Cancer,jeffrey dach,Testosterone,EPIC study ,Lupron,Gleason Score,PSA...<< MORE >>

Hunt Study Shows Thyroid Prevents Heart Attacks by Jeffrey Dach MD. Low thyroid is a risk factor for atherosclerotic heart disease.

October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month,by jeffrey dach md, which is an advertising campaign for national mammography screening. (1) An eminent radiologist, Leonard Berlin MD says this advertising message fails to disclose the limitations of screening mammography, namely that mammography will miss 30-70% of breast cancers, and leads to over diagnosis and over treatment. He also says mammography disclosures should be mandated, just like the cigarette and drug warnings that appear on their ads.<< MORE >>
