| Go red for women, protect yourself!
No it's not breast cancer, or skin cancer or lung cancer, it's heart disease. Every minute, someone's mother, daughter, wife or sister dies from heart disease and stroke in the United States. "We don't practice prevention, we respond to fear. That's basically how we take care of ourselves when it comes to disease. We will go out workout, we'll eat right to look good, but will we change out diet to prevent heart disease?" questions Alexis Beck, a clinical nutritionist at Brookline's NutritionRX. Don't become a statistic. Practice preventative medicine and eat right along with exercise! Many people are unaware that the main causes for heart disease can be controlled. Often we look to late in life to make changes that could prevent this deadly disease that can start as early as 7 years old. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. To prevent becoming a victim aim to eat at least 5 servings or fruit and vegetables a day. Most Americans do not get this recommended daily serving. Also niacin helps keep your cholesterol down. Get your daily serving through your fortified breakfast cereal like Oat Bran.
Cancer Symposium Planned in Hawaii
At the same time, clinicians will discuss the current therapeutic options for malignancies being discussed (i.e., breast, skin, cervix, pleura and peritoneum, lung, prostate, brain). We are honored to welcome Harald zur Hausen, MD, 2008 Nobel Prize Recipient in Medicine. In his keynote address, Dr. zur Hausen will describe his research journey from the identification of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) as the cause of cervical cancer to the development of a vaccine that will hopefully save the lives of millions of women. The conference has been designed for researchers and clinicians who deal with cancer patients, as well as medical students and residents. In Hawaii, we need to develop bridges among scientists and clinicians to bring discoveries made in the laboratory to the patient’s bedside.
Work together to stop breast cancer
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in women besides skin cancer, and the chance for women to develop breast cancer is around 1 in 8, or 12 percent.
There are several breast cancer foundations in America that are doing their best to eradicate this troubling disease. It is our hope with all the attention drawn to breast cancer recently that people will seek out the foundation of their choice to help find a cure.

Fresh from the cow, sweet, risky raw milk
His sales total about 200 litres a week and he said a lot of his customers are looking to treat illnesses such as asthma, skin conditions and other allergies. He said he has sold milk to cancer patients who are looking to consume as natural a diet as possible. Barron said that like advocates in other parts of the world, selling raw milk does mean an ongoing battle with health authorities. "I've been told I can't sell at farmers' markets, then I can. I can't sell in a shop unless I own the shop. It never ends," he said of local health inspectors' interpretation of the rules. But Southbank University's Spears said those strict hygiene and regulatory controls are in place with good reason and they are what effectively make raw milk no riskier for most people – aside from those with compromised immune systems such as the elderly – than pasteurized milk.

Skin cancer for melanoma campaigner
The head of the Melanoma Foundation is warning New Zealanders that the disease can strike anyone after being diagnosed with skin cancer herself. Anne Ackerman was diagnosed with melanoma during a routine check up in December but has since had the spot removed. "The doctor laughed nervously and was almost embarrassed that he was telling the head of the Melanoma Foundation that she had melanoma too. I just laughed back. It was like a black comedy," she says. The ironic situation proves the disease can strike anyone, she says. "Don't think 'it won't happen to me' as I have proved it can happen to anyone. My advice to others is to go to your doctor or a dermatologist and get an annual check as it could save your life. If you catch it early you have a really good chance of recovery." Like many young New Zealanders Ackerman spent a lot of time in the sun.
First US face transplant patient leaves hospital
In a 22-hour procedure, 80 percent of her face was replaced with bone, muscles, nerves, skin and blood vessels from another woman who had just died. It was the fourth partial face transplant in the world, though the others were not as extensive. The patient's recovery has been astonishing, Siemionow said. She shows no signs of rejecting her new face, is doing well on standard immune-suppressing drugs, and can breathe normally instead of through a hole in her windpipe. A couple weeks ago, she ate pizza for the first time in years. "She can actually feel the new face, and she does not feel the difference between her old face and her new face," Siemionow said. "Before surgery, she couldn't smell at all," the surgeon said.
