| self prostate check: Your Body Can Talk, Revised 2nd Edition Susan Levy, D.C., 2014-09-29 This book, about the art and application of Clinical Kinesiology, introduces the energetic system that links mind and body. It shows how the body can “talk,” and therefore be used as a diagnostic tool, and to determine which healing approach will best suit an individual. Clinical Kinesiology allows us to interpret this new “body talk.” This method of muscle-testing “reads” the body’s innate wisdom; when “asked” a question, or presented with a stimulus, the muscles respond clearly, either strongly or weakly. This system, which expedites the application of acupuncture, also helps realign the body’s energy imbalances. Readers will find specific methods of fighting disease that emphasize the dangers of unnecessary drugs, antibiotics and immunization, and the need for a fortified immune system – especially through natural foods. Other topics include: rebuilding the body’s ecology after an overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria or Candidiasis; how to maintain the integrity of the energy system through minimizing exposure to unhealthy electromagnetic fields or EMFs; optimal health for woman; and issues of men’s health. New material in this 2nd edition includes an extensive chapter on children’s health, which addresses pregnancy, birthing procedures and breastfeeding, and illustrates a road map for giving your children (and children yet to come) the best potential for optimal health. |

| self prostate check: Extending Medicare Coverage for Preventive and Other Services Institute of Medicine, Division of Health Care Services, Committee on Medicare Coverage Extensions, 2000-05-07 This report, which was developed by an expert committee of the Institute of Medicine, reviews the first three services listed above. It is intended to assist policymakers by providing syntheses of the best evidence available about the effectiveness of these services and by estimating the cost to Medicare of covering them. For each service or condition examined, the committee commissioned a review of the scientific literature that was presented and discussed at a public workshop. As requested by Congress, this report includes explicit estimates only of costs to Medicare, not costs to beneficiaries, their families, or others. It also does not include cost-effectiveness analyses. That is, the extent of the benefits relative to the costs to Medicareâ€or to society generallyâ€is not evaluated for the services examined. The method for estimating Medicare costs follows the generic estimation practices of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The objective was to provide Congress with estimates that were based on familiar procedures and could be compared readily with earlier and later CBO estimates. For each condition or service, the estimates are intended to suggest the order of magnitude of the costs to Medicare of extending coverage, but the estimates could be considerably higher or lower than what Medicare might actually spend were coverage policies changed. The estimates cover the five-year period 2000-2004. In addition to the conclusions about specific coverage issues, the report examines some broader concerns about the processes for making coverage decisions and about the research and organizational infrastructure for these decisions. It also briefly examines the limits of coverage as a means of improving health services and outcomes and the limits of evidence as a means of resolving policy and ethical questions. |
| self prostate check: Prostate Cancer Prevention Jack Cuzick, Mangesh A. Thorat, 2014-02-15 Prostate cancer is by far the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of death due to cancer. It comprises a mixed group of tumours displaying varying clinical behaviour: while some have a very aggressive course, others are rather indolent. Prevention of prostate cancer and discrimination between aggressive and indolent forms are important clinical goals and the acquisition of significant new evidence on means of achieving these aims makes this book particularly timely. A wide range of topics are covered by leading authorities in the field. The biology and natural history of prostate cancer are reviewed and the role of lifestyle and dietary factors, assessed. Detailed attention is paid to risk prediction biomarkers and to the role of novel high-throughput nucleic acid-based technologies in improving risk prediction and thereby allowing tailored approaches to cancer prevention. Potential means of chemoprevention of prostate cancer are also reviewed in depth, covering the very positive new data on the impact of aspirin as well as evidence regarding 5α-reductase inhibitors, DFMO and lycopene. Guidance is provided on the differentiation of aggressive from indolent disease and the policy and research implications of recent findings are examined. This book will be of interest to both clinicians and researchers. |
| self prostate check: Healthy Prostate Ronald M. Bazar, 2011 This book is a useful source of information to help you take responsibility for the health of your prostate. It gives details of dietary and other lifestyle measures to prevent diseases of the prostate and covers both conventional and natural treatments. I found it very comprehensive. Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. (http: //www.drweil.com/) Healthy Prostate explains how to cure your prostate problem naturally, without the devastating side effects of conventional medical treatments. Prostate cancer, prostatitis, and BPH enlarged prostate are names for prostate diseases. It begs the question: What causes an unhealthy prostate? The problem with conventional prostate treatments is that they attack the symptoms of the disease, downplay the side effects of treatment, and do nothing to eradicate the underlying causes. Doesn't it make more sense to treat the causes? Use your prostate condition as a wake-up call to get healthy! You can reverse a chronic prostate problem by changing your lifestyle. Conventional medicine concentrates on the symptoms and treats them aggressively, which weakens your body. You can't overpower the body without consequences. Do not believe doctors who downplay the side effects of slicing and dicing, radiating, or poisoning the body-there is another way. Your prostate problems can be healed without the dire side effects of incontinence and impotence. Better still, you can prevent prostate disease from happening in the first place! I did and I will show you how to do it for yourself. Ron Bazar, a Harvard MBA and serial entrepreneur, experienced a sudden complete urinary retention (a painful inability to urinate). At age 55, Ron was diagnosed with BPH, an enlarged prostate. He was scheduled twice for emergency surgery but both times declined.Ron saw top practitioners of all kinds, diligently following their advice but failed to see any results. After over seven years of extensive research and experimentation, Ron finally discovered how to heal his prostate naturally. In Healthy Prostate, Ron shares his insights and unique perspective to assist in empowering you to succeed and heal yourself-no matter what kind of prostate problem you face. |

| self prostate check: Handbook of Behavioral Medicine Andrew Steptoe, 2010-09-27 Behavioral medicine emerged in the 1970s as the interdisciplinary field concerned with the integration of behavioral, psychosocial, and biomedical science knowledge relevant to the understanding of health and illness, and the application of this knowledge to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Recent years have witnessed an enormous diversification of behavioral medicine, with new sciences (such as genetics, life course epidemiology) and new technologies (such as neuroimaging) coming into play. This book brings together such new developments by providing an up-to-date compendium of methods and applications drawn from the broad range of behavioral medicine research and practice. The book is divided into 10 sections that address key fields in behavioral medicine. Each section begins with one or two methodological or conceptual chapters, followed by contributions that address substantive topics within that field. Major health problems such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, HIV/AIDs, and obesity are explored from multiple perspectives. The aim is to present behavioral medicine as an integrative discipline, involving diverse methodologies and paradigms that converge on health and well being. |

| self prostate check: The Great Prostate Hoax Richard J. Ablin, Ronald Piana, 2014-03-04 Every year, more than a million men undergo painful needle biopsies for prostate cancer, and upward of 100,000 have radical prostatectomies, resulting in incontinence and impotence. But the shocking fact is that most of these men would never have died from this common form of cancer, which frequently grows so slowly that it never even leaves the prostate. How did we get to a point where so many unnecessary tests and surgeries are being done? In The Great Prostate Hoax, Richard J. Ablin exposes how a discovery he made in 1970, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), was co-opted by the pharmaceutical industry into a multibillion-dollar business. He shows how his discovery of PSA was never meant to be used for screening prostate cancer, and yet nonetheless the test was patented and eventurally approved by the FDA in 1994. Now, doctors and victims are beginning to speak out about the harm of the test, and beginning to search for a true prostate cancer-specific marker. |
