To start off the day RSB will talk about a ridiculous story out of the British Medical Journal where Doctors say a teen's bid to lose weight by drinking tea left her with serious health complications, including acute hepatitis. What was she drinking out of the canteen of homeless people! Or could it have been an adulterated sub-par brand with filler ingredients? RSB will also be joined by health historian and creator of GTF Chromium, Christopher Barr to discuss Selenium Awareness Month, also known as prostate cancer awareness month in the mainstream circles. Is the entertainment media trying to do their part in promoting the bottom line of the allopathic aristocracy? RSB will discuss how in the season premiere of "The Simpsons" on Sunday, Homer Simpson will be diagnosed with a pretty unusual health condition for a cartoon character: narcolepsy. What really causes this sleep disorder and what are some holistic ways to treat it? RSB and Chris Barr will also discuss an intriguing new study from China which supports previous research showing an association between adequate dietary selenium and heathy thyroid function. Mr. Barr will also give his insight on what else the study found regarding how that low intake of the mineral, reflected by serum levels, correlates with increased risk of a variety of types of thyroid disease. In hour 2 RSB will once more break down why its health insurance could be the most dangerous thing to have in America, as new research has put fourth the scary prospect that a simple capital investment of $97-184 billion, undoubtably by the American taxpayer, could make life-saving radiotherapy accessible to most people who need it by 2035 and even save the millions of lives. Sends chills down your body! Speaking of chills,, RSB will once again rock your coolers with the topic of breast cancer. There is no question that mammography identifies breast cancer at an earlier stage when compared to older techniques like the breast exam, however, the key question to ask is, "Do women who undergo mammography have a lowered mortality rate compared to women who do not undergo mammography?" Reported in a recent study in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers studied 16,120,349 women over the age of 40 who resided in 547 counties across the U.S. during a one-year period. The researchers correlated their findings with breast cancer incidence and mortality data during the ensuing 10 years. The scientists found a direct correlation between screening mammography and breast cancer incidence. In fact, they found a 16% mean increased incidence of breast cancer in women screened with mammography. You heard it right folks, widespread mammograms are probably not the best idea for the epidemic of breast cancer we are seeing in our nation! Http://www.robertscottbell.com/?p=32968
