This brilliant article gives us the true, original meaning of the oftentimes misused term “Evidence-Based Medicine”. Misused that is, by the medical fraternity to legitimize their own, often untried and untested (see below) practices and procedures and further, to falsely stigmatize the alternative medicine industry. This is a MUST read article…


WHERE’S THE EVIDENCE?
One of our newsletter readers wrote to us this week about the term ‘evidence-based medicine.’ “I am hearing this phrase more and more often,” he wrote, “and typically I’m seeing it used as a means of putting down alternative medicine, as though only conventional medicine has the right to a place at the table, and anything else lacks legitimacy.”

Certainly ‘evidence-based medicine’ (EBM) is an interesting and somewhat loaded phrase, the unambiguous implication of which is that medicine comes in two varieties - the kind that is based on a solid foundation of objective evidence, and the kind that is not. Because of the apparently stark good-versus-bad division it suggests, the phrase lends itself well to being used as a pejorative by those who are outspokenly opposed to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). To such people, anything other than standard conventional medicine is by definition unproven, speculative, founded on dubious premises and inherently inferior. As our perceptive reader pointed out, the term ‘evidence-based medicine’ is often used by such people as a rhetorical weapon, a means of devaluing anything that cannot be clearly identified as mainstream conventional medicine.

The following article, although not directly related to PROSTATE CANCER, nevertheless encompasses our general health and well-being - as well as all form of illness and disease - because of the drugs we are ‘obliged’ if not ‘forced’ to take, instigated by the insidious relationship that exists between Big Pharma and the various regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, across the world.

This article articulates these sentiments admirably…

Big Pharma: The Greed That Is Killing Innocent People
by Christopher Gussa

(http://www.naturalnews.com) Well, here I go with one of my opinions!

To say at this point that I am fed up with Big Pharma’s ludicrous control over innocent people’s lives leading them to a certain early death and robbed of a decent lifestyle and happiness that we all hold on to dearly (as the very rights that were endowed to us by our creator) would be the understatement of the century. The way I see it, at worst its murder and at best it is involuntary manslaughter!

Why and from what spirit does this carefully programmed evil system continue with the most deadly of drugs and chemical agents?

When you break it all down they are literally saying, “You can not consider any form of natural element as a serious medicine. You must take the poison we prescribe or we will find a way to take anything natural that would improve your health away from you. We are the drug lords of this world and you will do it our way or go to prison”.

What follows is a very good, in-depth review from http://www.webmd.com of the treatment options guys need to carefully study, and thoroughly investigate, on first finding they have PROSTATE CANCER.

Weighing Treatment Options
The method selected to treat prostate cancer depends largely on the prostate cancer stage (localized, locally advanced, or metastatic) and other factors. Localized prostate cancer is a cancer that is contained within the prostate gland. Locally advanced prostate cancer is a cancer that has spread beyond the prostate to surrounding tissue and may also have spread to lymph nodes located within the pelvis. Metastatic prostate cancer is a cancer that has spread beyond the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes into other distant parts of the body, such as any bone or organ.

This report from NaturalNews.com further illustrates the widely held contention that only nature itself has the answer for ridding mankind from the scourge of cancer, including of course, the one of concern to YOU, my reader, PROSTATE CANCER.

But how does one get this message across to the general public when up against the wealth of Big Pharma, which, completely at odds with the good health and wellness of the general public; will stop at nothing to protect their commercial interests, aided and abetted by their cohorts in the FDA? Very slowly, I guess, huh!

An Apple Peel a Day Could Keep Cancer at Bay
by Leslee Dru Browning

(NaturalNews) An apple peel a day might help keep cancer at bay, according to Rui Hai Liu, Cornell associate professor of food science, who has identified a dozen compounds — triterpenoids — in apple peel that either inhibit or kill cancer cells in laboratory cultures. Three of the compounds have not previously been described in the literature.

“We found that several compounds have potent anti-proliferative activities against human liver, colon and breast cancer cells and may be partially responsible for the anti-cancer activities of whole apples,” says Liu, who is affiliated with Cornell’s Institute of Comparative and Environmental Toxicology and is senior author of the study, which is online and published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

This truly fascinating article by the very respected and authoritative, Dr. Miller looks at many aspects of health and healing, including the various elements essential for the prevention and/or healing of most, if not all cancer types, including PROSTATE CANCER. It makes for very interesting and educational reading.

The Moon Goddess’ Role in Human Health
by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD

Out of the 92 elements that exist in nature, 25 make up the human body. The largest one is iodine (atomic weight 126.9), followed by molybdenum (95.9). Selenium (78.96) is third.

Selenium was discovered in 1817 and named after Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon. This element is a member of the Group 16 (VIA) family of elements in the periodic table, along with oxygen, its sister sulfur, and the metalloid elements tellurium and polonium. Soil contains selenium in minute and variable amounts. In the U.S., soil selenium concentration ranges from <.05 to >50 parts per million (ppm). In the Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes region, Northeast, and Florida, where the soil comes from volcanic or washed coastal deposits, soil selenium concentration is low (<.05 ppm). In the Midwest, with its soil derived from cretaceous shales, soil selenium concentrations are 40 to 200 times higher (2 to 10 ppm), and in some areas, greater than 50 ppm. The concentration of selenium in the earth’s crust is less than that of gold.
