Battling baldness: how close is a cure?
It may not be a cure for cancer, but science is getting close to banishing baldness. Here’s a quick summary of recent research on hair regrowth.
The 3D Spheroid Solution
A joint program between the University of Durham and Columbia University Medical Centre has found a new way to grow new hairs from tissue samples. Historically this has been tricky because when the cells are grown in the lab they tend to produce more skin instead of hair fibers. But the team figured out that by clumping the cells into “3D spheroids” they could increase the number of hairs produced. Problem yet to be solved: how to prevent...

Gliadin: The Universal Human Poison
Autoimmunity is the process describing an immune response waged against our own organs. The complex collection of mechanisms consisting of T and B lymphocytes, antibodies, and others, meant to provide protection against viruses, bacteria, and other body invaders, is misdirected against proteins of the body’s organs, such as liver, pancreas, thyroid, or brain. Autoimmune conditions now affect 8% of the American population–it is increasingly looking like diseases of autoimmunity are out of control.
Dr Alessio Fasano was recently awarded the Linus Pauling Award, the highest award from the Institute for Functional...

Q&A: Is it a good idea to detoxify the body?
I was looking through some old posts and found this question. I thought it was a good one so I wanted to post an answer here. The question comes from ‘Ryan D’:
I have never done a detox, as far as I can remember. Lately I have been feeling tired and worn out and was thinking maybe I need to detox because I have heard about it benefiting your body and renuing energy. What are the best (safe) detox kits out there?
Answer: You can’t detox. That’s a huge myth.It does not work for detox purposes and it is an extremely unhealthy way to try to lose fat. It’s no more than a really bad fad.”De...

How much is a month of life worth?
This may be a strange question because prices for anything are determined by markets, and there is no market for a month of life – unless it is your life. Then the question is how much would you pay for that month or, how much would you ask your insurance company or Medicare to pay? I bring this up because of my concern (as well as many other people) about the cost of new cancer drugs. When I first began practicing oncology, it was an exciting time. Many new cancer chemotherapy drugs were being developed, and many of them had major benefits for patients. Also, they were not very expensive. We would be shocked if a cours...

Former Bristol-Myers Chemist Sentenced To Life For Murdering Hubby
Do you remember Tianle Li? She is the former Bristol-Myers Squibb chemist who was convicted two months ago for murdering her estranged husband by giving him a toxic metal known as thallium, which the drugmaker once used for making medical imaging agents. Rather have him obtain a divorce, prosecutors charged that she reached for poison. Now, she has been sentenced to life in prison.
The 43-year-old Li gave thallium to Xiaoye Wang, 39, on a regular basis, starting in late 2010 (back story). Thallium is known as a ‘perfect poison,' because it can be fatal in very tiny doses. Studies in people who ingested large amounts over...

What Side Effects? Ads With Warnings May Spur More Sales
File this under ‘how ironic.’ This may appear counter-intuitive, but is it possible that the many side effect warnings crammed into advertisements actually prompt consumers to seek those products later? A new study in Psychological Science suggests that, in fact, this does happen and there are potentially serious consequences for policymakers and regulators.
The researchers conducted different experiments in which varying types of ads – with and without warnings – were shown to consumers for four different products, including cigarettes, an artificial sweetener and medications for hair loss and erectile dysfunction...

Can Rx Drug Trash Talk - Litany of Side Effects - in DTC Ads Increase Sales?
"Warnings of serious side effects in drug advertising can actually improve consumers’ opinions and increase sales, rather than frightening them away, new research finds." That was the opening statement in a recent PharmaTimes article ("Serious side-effects warnings can increase drug sales: study").All you have to do -- which a LOT of people NEVER do -- to discover that this statement is rubbish -- i.e., a non-sequitur conclusion based on a faulty interpretation of the data -- is to read the original research paper or even just the abstract, which you can find here in case you actually care to read it. Here, let me force ...

But you don't look sick
One of the first complaints I heard from other cancer people was that how could they have such a bad thing when they didn't look sick? To this day, I may feel like crap but I don't really look sick.If you have cancer, you usually don't look sick unless you are in the middle of chemo that gives you that lovely pallor and hair loss. Some chemos don't even give you that look these days. I met a woman a couple of years ago with stage IV lung cancer who looked great and was on an oral chemo. She said she took a daily pill and felt pretty good as well.We are wired to look for visible ailments in people. Do you ever look at someo...

Caring About Baldness
The superficial aspects of regenerative medicine and attempts to revert portions of the aging process attract far more attention than the meaningful aspects. People seem much more interested in evading baldness and making skin look good than in restoring youthful function to the inner organs whose failure will kill them. You can live with baldness, and not with a age-damaged heart, but you wouldn't know that if going just by the level of discussion devoted to these topics. This is far from the only area of life in which observed priorities fail to match up to the best course for personal self-interest, of course.
The ulti...

Pura d’or Hair Loss Prevention Premium Organic Shampoo: Look at the label
Believe it or not this hair loss prevention shampoo is a top beauty seller on Amazon.com. Let’s look at the label to see if it has a chance in hell of actually preventing hair loss.
The good news is the shampoo uses one of the mildest cleansing ingredients you can buy – sodium cocoyl isethionate. The bad news is it costs $22 for 16 ounces which is expensive. There are other shampoos based on the same ingredient which you can get for much cheaper.
More good news: if you read the claims carefully you’ll see that it really is just a shampoo and not a drug product. More bad news: they throw in all sorts o...

Should This Prostate Drug Be Used For Cancer Prevention?
Should the Proscar pill and various generic versions be used to prevent prostate cancer? This question will likely be debated extensively thanks to a new study clarifying decade-old concerns that the drug, known as finasteride, may boost the risk of developing aggressive, high-grade tumors. The issue was first raised in a 2003 study that found the drug lowered the risk of developing prostate cancer by 30 percent.
As a result of that earlier study, the FDA never approved finasteride for preventing prostate cancer and, instead, required warnings on the product labeling to thwart an unapproved use. (The drug is approved to sh...
