    I like Dunkin Donuts. Great stuff.

    Oh, and as for the platelet therapy, notice the one doctor mentioned "anecdotal evidence". Which means, there have been no scientific studies to demonstrate that this works or doesn't work. I have not seen anything in my medical journals about it.

    Platelets are used to clot; they're one of the first things that go to areas of damage, and they have factors that contribute to healing. But injecting them into an area of damage does not necessarily mean that they're going to do any more than what is already there. You need good blood supply to bring the other factors of repair; tendons and cartilage just don't have that. But, who knows. It might help, it might not. Then again, it might cause too much fibrosis. It has to be studied.

    It's kind of like the use of stem cells. In some patients, injecting stem cells into damaged cardiac muscle can lead to improvement in function. In other patients, such as the guy in Russia that had stem cells injected into his brainstem, he ended up with unwanted tumor growth.

      i see, the reason it was interesting to me was they made it sound like the effects were quick and the no surgery bit

      heres something completely off topic, dunno how much u know about vitamins and supplements, but ever since i saw an oncologist for a viral infection i got 3 years go, i been taking a multivitamin everyday

      ive always been interested but there are always so many differing views...

      i recently read an article on yahoo that said multivitamins dont prevent cancer and other such things..i was like..well no duh, but at the same time the article said depending on the person multivitamins could be useless to down right harmful wich kind of gave me pause

      but at the same time, i dunno im young and its hard to gauge if im healthy or not i mean i always feel relatively good, i rarely get sick, i only seep 4-5 hours a day and i have tons of energy but..i think thats cause im young

      my grandparents take vitamins daily but i figure alot of old peeps do..but they are extremly active and are in their 70"s think my grandmother is 76 or so and shes real healthy, whether or not vitamins has to do with it i dunno!

      what do u think about vitamins

      that yahoo article also said that multivitamins could be good for people who dont get adequate food and nutrients etc but most americans dont get suffiiecent anything

      i drink water all the time, and juice never eat fast food, i make sure to get protein and fiber(just recently this one)

      anyway what u think about supplements and vitamins

      and this


      what ut hink about this one

        I think things change in medicine all the time.

        When I finished my Critical Care Medicine fellowship, I had the option of running an ICU at some major medical university centers. Or, I had the option of going to Las Vegas to work in private practice and make a hell of a lot more money. The university option was an appealing one, as I had enjoyed teaching, but the necessity to publish papers, in order to advance career, status, and income wise, was not something that I had wanted to do. You start as assistant professor, and the only way you move up to associate and full professor, is to publish papers.

        That's the system. One of the problems of it is, it causes people to just publish and publish and publish. So, you get all of these studies all of the time, and these studies can be presented in such a way so that results can be tailored. How one group of people look at a massage statistics, another group of people can derive a different result.

        So, every few years, what was bad for you can become "good", and vice versa. The results of studies that you see may either be the result of new previously unknown information, or it may be a massaging of previous information to come up with some new and shocking result. Remember, people gain fame by being the first to mention something; Linus Pauling many years ago said that Vitamin C in high doses cures a lot of shit. Now, if someone comes forth and states that Vitamin C causes cancer, and twenty years from now, he's proven correct, he'll be famous.

        The way I look at these things is the following:

        One: go with tried and true medications that have been used in other patients for at least a year, so that the risks and benefits can be discovered. (let other doc's patients be the guinea pigs)

        Two: use common sense, and try to interpret the studies and what they are trying to say. This is most important; sometimes it is obvious from the study that the authors are massaging it to be able to present what they want, and not what the study is presenting.

        Vitamins? some vitamins are dangerous in high dosages. there's an article on Vitamins in the Shaolin FAQ / Health FAQ. I think it talks about it. I have nothing against vitamins in moderate dosages; but if you eat correctly, with plenty of fruits and vegetables, you probably don't need them.

        Fish oil? All for it, even though the supplements may not work as well as the real fish. Does it have an effect? Yes, and studies don't need to show me that. Just look at the long lived Japanese people who eat high fish diets. And the Scandinavians. Again, a diet with fresh fish will provide what you need; pills are not necessary, though the pills probably won't hurt you.

        The answers, and the ways to interpret these studies, are all around you in real life. You just have to look for them. For example, we don't need a paper to tell us that vitamin C is necessary for good health (we have the history of sailors having scurvy to demonstrate that). The recent data that exposure to the sun, with it's concurrent production of vitamin D, now an anti cancer agent, is interesting. We'll see what comes of that.

        The recent data of antioxidants being good for you to give you long life is interesting also. But what if the oxygen radicals in your body are necessary to kill nascent tumor cells??? Maybe anti oxidants might end up facilitating the rise of cancers in the human body. As you can see, we sway from one extreme to the other, and eventually, with time, settle down knowledge wise, somewhere on either end, or in the middle.


        My own experience tells me a lot. And what I've learned healthwise, is the following:

        I feel best when I live in Thailand. Without the exposure to pollution, pollen, dust, crime, stress, sodium laden foods, fast foods, unfriendly stressed out people, overly bright desert sun, processed chemical laden foods all that are common in the US. In Thailand, eating fresh fish every day, plenty of fruits and vegetables, enough exercise, fresh air, fresh unprocessed foods, low stress environment, friendly people, no salt, all of these things leads to better health. I could give a shit what these papers tell me; I know from what I see. And out here in Phuket, I see guys riding bicycles to Burma, a 24 hour trip done over two days, in their seventies. I see seventy year old guys swimming in the ocean every day. I see seventy year old guys who look like their in their fifties.

        In America, with its terribly unhealthy way of life, I see people in their fifties with one foot in the grave. I've taken care of hundreds of them in my career.

        I guess I'm rambling. I just got up. But these papers are all kind of saying the same thing. Everything in moderation. Good health is a product of your diet, your activity, and your environment.

          thats what im talking about, minus the pollen and dust i suppose compared to where you are all that stuff u mention is exactly what american food/living is about.

          another reason i cant wait to get over to thailand aswell..but anyway thanks for the rant..the only rants i dont like are the ones that get mixed up with medical jibber jabber

          that was a good one though
