Mothers who eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy and while nursing, and who continue to feed their babies such a diet after weaning, may reduce their daughters' risk of developing breast cancer later in life dramatically, according to research presented here April 21, 2005 at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. Either maternal or post-weaning dietary consumption of this type of fat—that is, taking in omega-3 fatty acids through food or supplements at any point in life from conception to at least puberty—also could reduce the incidence rate for breast cancer in female offspring significantly.

Vaginal pain, known as vulvodynia, is common in CFS and Fibromyalgia. Though it often improves over time by addressing with the overall "SHINE Protocol," medication is helpful for symptomatic relief. We begin by adding Neurontin and Elavil for sleep in those with Vulvodynia, but these sometimes cause unacceptable side effects. This new study showed that putting the Neurontin (Gabapentin) in a topical cream decreased pain by an average of 2/3, and decreased pain by over 50% in 80% of the women. The topical cream should be one that is not irritating when used vaginally. Ask the compounding pharmacist to also add Elavil to the cream for vulvodynia.

As part of our ongoing look at health care reform, it is helpful to look at the misinformation often disseminated through the media. Much of this often simply parrots the misleading biases against Natural Medicine taught in medical schools. Sadly, The New York Times, hot on the heels of its article suggesting that Fibromyalgia is not a real disease, has done another piece suggesting that natural medicine is dangerous relative to prescriptions. The article ignores the over 200,000 U.S.

Enjoy Your Vices!

I often tell the doctors I teach, "If people get a long life by cutting out everything they enjoy, then why bother?" Medicine seems to suffer from the horrible misconception that if things are enjoyable, then they must be bad for you (and vice versa). What a horrible myth! I have found that your body knows better than any physician what is good for you — and tells you by how you feel over time. So if you feel great doing what you're doing, I suspect it's working. On the other hand, most things that really are bad for you will leave you feeling worse overall. I find that Mark Twain was on the mark when he advocated "Moderation in all things — including moderation!"
