November 6thProstate Cancer
Many men die WITH prostate cancer. Not OF prostate cancer. The fact is, the longer men live, the higher their chance of getting it. But prostate cancer is not always aggressive and deadly. And the treatments themselves carry risks.
Women and Estrogen
Just 10 years ago, it seemed like a no-brainer. If you were bothered by menopausal hot flashes, if you were at risk of osteoporosis or even heart disease, and as long as you weren't at risk of breast cancer, you were told by your doctor to go on hormone replacement therapy. But HRT advocates have been dealt a blow. The latest and most rigorous study of the relationship between HRT and heart disease showed there was no benefit for women who already had symptoms. Dr. Sandy Messner brings us up-to-date on the latest research into HRT.
And Herb Expert Joe Schwarcz looks at the health benefits of ginseng.
