It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes Dr. Jennifer Griggs’ hand trembles a bit when she prescribes “enormous” doses of chemotherapy drugs for obese breast cancer patients.
Those powerful drugs kill not only cancer cells but healthy cells as well. And that makes some doctors nervous, so they order chemotherapy doses based on patients’ ideal weight, not their actual weight.
But Griggs knows that such hesitation carries a high price: Up to 40 percent of obese cancer patients don’t get large enough chemotherapy doses, jeopardizing treatment of individual patients -- and the overall public health.
Now, Griggs and her co-authors, writing in the latest issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, have published new guidelines aimed at making sure even the heaviest cancer patients get the full treatment they need.

4 Dangers Destroying MenThis interesting video is worth a peak. www.livingresearchinstitute.com/men/4dangers/index-ow.html courtesy of www.livingresearchinstitute.com. There is some interesting explanations to our ailing health.Basically we are not as we were before (as mentioned on the God thread  ) ,and that is full health. The ordinary man centuries ago could apparently wipe the floor even of our modern athletes. (I believe this) Women may be offended by certain descriptive analogies  A lot of mentioning male anatomy by the view of study,no graphics but please heed warnings before watching the whole video. There is of course products at the end but the info may be useful. Go Well

I watched a bit of the video....Its odd that current day man was being compared to Neanderthals. We are decended from Cro-magnon not not Neanderthals. Current day man are certainly bigger than than even a hundred years ago....you only have to look at Napolean war costumes to see how small they are....Most of them would fit me. They have greater health and greater longevity. Sperm counts are reducing but there are 7 billion on the planet and perhaps its natures way of saying enough. A hundred years ago it was not unusal to have 8 children...Several of whom may have died as infants. Nowadays we may only have one or two. Perhaps thats our subconscious way of thinking there is enough people here already. As for loss of testosterone....testosterone makes people aggressive....and what we dont need is more wars or aggravation. Men are fine as they are... |

Yes and no is my take dear Spell. Yes nature will have its balancing mechanism as you say. I think despite mans meddling with natures surroundings causing himself a possible future of fear gloom. Nature has already counterbalanced over population on a more gentle approach, by giving us many Gay days a head,benefiting all. So to speak |

Its quite attractive for men to be in touch with their feminine side.
Think of the men women go crazy for..ie Bowie, Jagger, Orlando Bloom, Jackson, Justin Beiber.
Not exactly great hulking muscle men.
Plus if you marry one...he'll never forget your birthday....and he can help you choose cushion covers to match the cutains.... ;D
