Prempro Breast Cancer RisksWritten by Michael@Monheit.com - Michael Monheit, Esquire
While Prempro may cure your hot flashes, it may also debilitate or kill you from ovarian cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and stroke.Since 1995, millions of women have confidently taken Prempro, a leading hormone replacement therapy drug, prescribed to treat postmenopausal hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. However, a recent major study concludes that long-term use of Prempro has significantly increased risk of stroke, blood clots, Prempro ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer, while maximizing risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Evidence has revealed that Prempro and other estrogen progestin combinations can actually harm perfectly healthy women. These results were found in nation's largest hormone replacement study and were so alarming that National Institute of Health (NIH) prematurely canceled study citing risk to participants. As a result study is suggesting that many of women who use Prempro and other estrogen and progestin combinations should quit and talk to their doctors about Prempro alternatives.
| | Talking About Death And Dying Written by Judi Singleton
I work as a caregiver now and for years I worked in a hospital geriatric ward. I counseled families and patients on death and dying issues. In Western society we have not been trained to talk about our own death so we cannot talk about dying to a loved one. Most of us find ourselves feeling inadequate to having this discussion on fear of death, issues of legacy, like what lives on after a person dies. The old arguments by religions do not satisfy a lot of us anymore. Since discoveries like quantum physics a new view is emerging. Issues of legacy, that is, what lives on after an individual dies: The fear of death is to some extent instinctive: nature has given us drive to survive. While we live we are not separated off from nature and universe: our atoms and molucules are arranged according to our memory everyday. We arrange and rearrange our personalities daily. But most of us strive to keep this set of information intact for as long as possible. We also are afraid of losing our consciousness. To fear death is useless Death is nothing to us and no concern of ours . . . When we shall be no more, when union of body and spirit that engenders us has been disrupted - to us, who shall then be nothing, nothing by any hazard will happen any more at all. Nothing will have power to stir our senses, not though earth be fused with sea and sea with sky . . . Rest assured that we have nothing to fear in death. One who no longer is cannot suffer, or differ in any way from one who has never been born. [De rerum natura, iii:828-840; 864-867]
