"This recognition by Lilly, coupled with recent health news reports, is certainly business as usual — transacted at the patients' ever increasing expense. Patrick Lustman, a psychologist at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, stated (regarding symptoms of depression in diabetics), "If you've got both (conditions) and you treat both, then both will improve."7 This does not answer the question regarding tight control.

"The result is that most of what you hear in health news concerns only what is allegedly new and better. I do not mean to suggest that all medical research is falsified or that most researchers are dishonest. There is a lot of good research—and many good researchers—out there. But in general, it is legitimate to say that medical research is biased in favor of new tests and treatments and that the findings of this work are frequently exaggerated. For you, this means that a certain amount of skepticism is always in order when evaluating medical news." - H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer?

"The Internet also spreads news and creates demand through list serves, web sites, chat rooms, and spam. health news is a common topic for magazine articles and cocktail party conversation. What used to be sequestered in grandma's medical book or in a medical library is now all around us: on paper, the radio, the Internet, and television. Constant specialization in medicine and the ever-narrower scope of specialist practice facilitates the spread of new treatments." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L.

"In any event, both reporters and readers need to be alert to the potential for disease mongering as they consider health news. Journalists should routinely question (and preferably avoid) corporate-sponsored material on the prevalence or impact of a disease. A related concern is creating the appearance that there's no alternative to some new technology News accounts often fail to describe older, less expensive treatments that may be equally effective for many patients. In some cases, they fail to note that patients may have an excellent prognosis without treatment at all." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L.

"Find a way to keep up with health news. Developments in the area of bone health are fast-breaking, and you can expect new and improved treatments to be available in the near future—but you'll have to know about them in order to use them.

"A distributor sent me a four-page tabloid called health news (vol. 3, no. 2), which bore headlines such as "An Ancient Cure from Paradise," "Healing From Across the Seas," and "No More Wheelchair!" On the front page it states that noni is "a healing fruit" that "helps cancer." And what is health news?

"Mark Konlee editor of Positive health news says, "I have never ceased to be amazed at what this ointment can accomplish. Last fall, I met 'Dan' a local resident who told me he had a bad case of plantar warts and athlete's foot. When he showed me the soles of his feet, it was the worst looking set of feet I have ever observed." Mark made some GOOT, put it in a small jar, and gave it to Dan. He told him to keep the bottle in the refrigerator (shelf life of about 30 days) and put a little on his feet every day. Two weeks later he met Dan again. " - Bruce Fife and Jon J.

"The major sources of health news that they listed were TV (40 percent), doctors (36 percent), magazines (35 percent), and newspapers (16 percent).
