"This may decrease your risk of developing endometrial cancer, but may increase your risk of developing certain other health problems, including breast cancer."6 Concerns about safety and effectiveness are causing a retreat from the blanket use of HRT. An estimated 30%-45% of women who receive prescriptions for HRT will not have their prescriptions filled or will discontinue therapy within 12 months of initiation." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Lower vitamin D levels increase your risk of developing and dying from prostate cancer. The risk of prostate cancer in European Americans increases in places farther from the equator, particularly north of the fortieth parallel. Studies on different measures of lifetime ultraviolet exposure show a lower risk of prostate cancer in people who get greater UV exposure. Since African Americans typically have vitamin D levels that are much lower than those of European Americans, this explains why African Americans have a much higher risk of death from prostate cancer." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Thus, a way to increase IgA expression may help reduce the risk of developing an allergy. A study of infants with atopic dermatitis was conducted to see what effect probiotics have on IgA expression in the gastrointestinal tract. The study involved 230 infants who were given a placebo or a Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG milk mixture for four weeks. They found that the group consuming the probiotics had greater IgA secretion, suggesting that probiotics promote (upregulate) the defenses of the intestines." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Studies have shown that school age children with atopic dermatitis (eczema) have an increased risk of developing asthma. This is not surprising as the mucus of the digestive and respiratory systems are very similar. They share many elements involved in immune defense and show some unity in the way they function in an immune response. Clinical investigation has found that people with asthma have an unhealthy microflora in their intestines and tend to have a permeable (leaky) gut. There is a connection between what happens to the mucus that lines the intestines and the lungs." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"We have an impressive body of research demonstrating that regular consumption of nuts can reduce your risk of developing coronary heart disease as well as diabetes, certain cancers, and other chronic ailments. Regular nut consumption has also been associated with a reduction of all causes of mortality.29 But now we get to the question that's probably on your mind. How can we recommend nuts on a diet that's geared for weight reduction? It does seem counterintuitive." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Talk to your pediatrician about the use of specific natural health product supplements, like probiotics and essential fatty acids, that may lower your child's risk of developing allergies. Probiotic lactobacillus had been shown to reduce hereditary eczema and cow's milk allergies. I also highly recommend getting a neti pot, which you can buy at Whole Foods and a number of other natural-health retailers for about fifteen dollars. Neti pots have been used for thousands of years to clean out the nasal passages without drugs." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"In fact, researchers have learned that just getting a bad viral illness is enough to raise the risk of developing CFS more than twenty-fold. Doctors finally seem to be learning this lesson, too. When researchers used telephone polling methods to identify patients with CFS, those who reported a sudden illness onset were much more likely to have received the diagnosis of CFS than those with a gradual illness onset (41 percent versus 6 percent). As soon as people learn about these facts, they immediately jump to the conclusion that CFS is some sort of chronic infection." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "But in actuality the tap is less painful than getting a shot in the buttocks (though there is a risk of developing a bad headache afterward). Why do it at all? In rare circumstances, an individual can have herpes viral infection, not in the blood but in the brain and in the spinal fluid that bathes it. So I send the fluid for routine tests, for tests looking for markers suggestive of MS, and for PCR testing looking for herpes viruses. If the fluid is positive, I send the patient to an expert in infectious diseases for treatment." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Clostridium, are examples of changes in the microflora that can increase an infants risk of developing allergic diseases. Luckily, research has discovered that certain probiotic species can prevent such changes in microflora and reduce illness in infants. Probiotics were first used to prevent infant disease in a clinical trial in 1994. In the randomized trial held in Baltimore, 55 infants were given an infant formula with or without Bifidobacterium bifi-dum and Streptococcus thermophilus. Infants are commonly infected with Rotavirus, the most frequent cause of diarrhea in children." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Research also shows that infants with lower birth weights whose mothers were obese but not diabetic at the time they gave birth are also at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Given that more and more children and adolescents are overweight and obese, these findings are a warning that the combination of obesity and metabolic syndrome will continue to be a serious problem unless we take action. As a mother, father, or other individual who is responsible for a child's health and welfare, you need to help protect and preserve the future health of your child." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"People with the highest level of CRP had five times the risk of developing CVD and four times the risk of a heart attack or a stroke compared to individuals with the lowest level. CRP predicted risk in women who had none of the standard risk factors and was the best predictor among twelve risk factors studied, including cholesterol. The cardiologist Paul Ridker, who led the study, said that "we have to think of heart disease as an inflammatory disease, just as we think of rheumatoid arthritis as an inflammatory disease." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"It appears to double a woman's risk of developing placental problems,124 including placenta previa (a low-lying placenta that covers part or all of the opening of the uterus), placental abruption (the placenta peels partially or completely away from the uterine wall prior to delivery), and premature rupture of the membranes. Cigarette smoking is known to cause lower birth weight and size; mothers who smoke 13 or more high-tar cigarettes a day have smaller babies in poorer condition than those of nonsmoking mothers." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Hyperinsulinemia is telling us that we have a higher risk of developing chronic degenerative diseases. Our carbohydrate metabolism requires attention and is one of the most important life extension factors. The diet and lifestyle we are suggesting helps us maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Proper management of carbohydrate metabolism is key to a healthy life and longevity. A normal fasting blood sugar, according to ADA data, is 100." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Women who have it face a significantly greater risk of developing diabetes later in their life. It may be immediate or long-term, in terms of complications. Statistically associated with gestational diabetes is an increase in preeclampsia and resulting increased C-sections. A study by Coustan and Associates showed that 6 percent were tested with irregular glucose tolerance at zero to two years post-partum; 13 percent were irregular at three to four years; 15 percent at five to six years; and 30 percent at seven to ten years post-partum." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Women with a family history of osteoporosis, and especially hip fractures, are at the highest risk of developing the condition. Eighty to ninety percent of the determination of the development of osteoporosis is a family history of osteoporosis. • Fracture risk can be determined from a medical history, physical exam, laboratory testing, and a DXA bone density test. or have eating disorders are susceptible to insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals and therefore may have insufficient bone mass." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Others were at high risk of developing heart disease. When all 19 studies were combined, the risk of what is called all-cause mortality, or death due to any cause, did not differ significantly between people assigned to vitamin E supplementation and those who were in the placebo group. In studies using doses of vitamin E less than 400 IU per day, the vitamin E supplementation was associated with a small although not statistically significant reduction in the death rate. In the 11 studies using more than 400 IU per day, vitamin E supplementation increased the risk of death by 4 percent." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The results of a National Cancer Institute study in 2004 indicate that you'll reduce your risk of developing melanoma if you take in larger amounts of vitamin D and vitamin A. In 2005, Dr. Marianne Berwick and colleagues at the University of New Mexico showed that patients with early-stage melanoma who had had more sun exposure had a lower risk of dying from melanoma. This told us that vitamin D may play a role in improved prognosis for melanoma patients." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "It's likely that your risk of developing MS is determined during fetal development and childhood, while your immune system is developing in the presence of vitamin D deficiency. Theories based on migration data suggest that an infectious agent may play a role in causing MS, but it's probably a combination of these factors. The Nurses Health Study (Harvard University, 2004) showed a 40 percent reduction in the risk of MS among nurses whose intake of supplemental vitamin D was at least 400 IU per day. These results were confirmed in a 2006 study of U.S." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"HIGH RATES OF ANTIDEPRESSANT MADNESS IN CHILDREN COMPARED TO ADULTS, children are at even greater risk of developing mania and other behavioral abnormalities when exposed to antidepressants. In 1997, a highly promoted controlled clinical trial conducted by a team led by Graham Emslie from the University of Texas in Dallas found that Prozac caused a 6 percent rate of mania in depressed children and youngsters age seven to seventeen.10 This is six times the rate found in adult clinical trials. The reactions were severe enough to cause the children to drop out of the clinical study." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"The good news is that you can take steps today to ensure a future without diabetic complications or one in which the risk of developing the devastating complications of diabetes is greatly minimized. When discussing the complications associated with diabetes, two major hurdles come to mind, both of which we explore in this chapter. One is that there is little emphasis placed on the driving factors behind the damage caused by diabetes, including glycation and the work of free radicals and 44 oxidative stress, which we touched on in chapter 1." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Recently, a large American study has provided strong evidence that the consumption of red and processed meats poses the greatest dietary risk of developing cancer. In a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP Diet and Health Study, researchers Genkinger and Koushik from the U.S. National Cancer Institute examined the health data of 494,000 participants. In this 8-year study (published in PLoS Med. 2007 December; 4(12): e345, and online 2007 Dec. 11. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Controlled clinical trials have repeatedly shown that the risk of developing permanent abnormal movements is at least 20 percent per year in older people. That huge risk accumulates from year to year, so it's at least 40 percent after two years.5 Unlike in younger patients, tardive dyskinesia in the elderly commonly develops after only days or weeks of exposure. Older human beings should never be put on these drugs. Although drug companies and some doctors promote the newer antipsychotic drugs as less prone to causing tardive dyskinesia, this speculation remains unproven." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"WARNING SIGN Women who take fertility drugs for more than three months are at increased risk of developing gum disease. It's the estrogen in most of these drugs that can adversely affect gum tissue. Inflamed gums can also signal the bacterial infection Vincent's stomatitis or necrotizing gingivitis (aka trench mouth). In severe cases they can damage oral bone and gum tissue. A BUMP OR HOLE ON THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH If you feel—or more specifically your tongue feels—a bump or lump on the roof of your mouth, don't overreact." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"As a result, they tend to be at greater risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration, a progressive eye disease that is one of the leading causes of blindness. No matter what the color of your eyes, wearing dark glasses can help protect eyes from these and other eye disorders. Eye Color Changes Just as our genes program the color of our eyes, they appear to play a role in age-related eye-color changes. About 10 to 15% of Caucasians experience eye color changes during adolescence or adulthood." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "Often people with this condition—which typically affects only one eye—also have floaters and blurry vision and are at increased risk of developing cataracts or glaucoma. Having mismatched eye color can also signal a type of glaucoma called pigmentary glaucoma, which primarily affects young men. Other signs of pigmentary glaucoma may include blurry vision and occasional pain after physical exercise or exertion. and Louis Pasteur were reported to have two different-colored eyes." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Exercise cuts in half the risk of developing abnormal glucose levels, which can lead to gestational diabetes—a condition that results in overweight babies and prolonged labor. High glucose is also a risk factor for obesity and type 2 diabetes in both the mother and the baby, and these physical conditions are bad for the brain. Fortunately, exercise helps regardless of how active a woman was before pregnancy. One study showed that briskly walking five hours a week reduces the risk of gestational diabetes by 75 percent." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "Statistically, having diabetes gives you a 65 percent higher risk of developing dementia, and high cholesterol increases the risk 43 percent. We've had the medical proof that exercise protects against these diseases for decades, yet, according to the CDC, about a third of the population over sixty-five reports that they engage in no leisure-time activity. My hope is that if you understand how exercise can also protect your mind, you'll take it to heart." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "Then a prominent British study reported that women on HRT have twice the risk of developing dementia, which is a major concern for anyone beyond middle age. However, there are studies supporting the use of HRT for short periods during menopause. The only universal advice for menopausal women is to ask your doctor. Whatever the answer, the contradictions put many women in a painful bind. CONSIDER THE SYMPTONS The most common reason women seek HRT is to alleviate the physical symptoms of menopause, specifically hot flashes, and nobody disagrees that it works wonders on this front." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"Researchers also suggest that probiotics may reduce the risk of developing pouchitis in patients undergoing ulcerative colitis surgery. Of note, probiotics are not effective in inducing remission from pouchitis. Remission can be induced by antibiotic use. Clinical trials have shown that remission can be effectively maintained with probiotic use. Many studies have reported that both probiotics and antibiotics can be used at the same time, and this is a safe and effective means of treatment in many disease conditions. Of note, they should be taken a few hours apart to avoid interaction." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing a second cancer by up to 100 times," according to Dr. Samuel S. Epstein ~ Congressional Record, Sept. 9, 1987. Given the extreme suffering cancer patients are being subjected to by undergoing cancer treatments, people like Jackie Onassis were fortunate to have died quickly, although unnecessarily. Tim O'Shea wrote in To The Cancer Patient: "...Chemo drugs are some of the most toxic substances ever designed to go into a human body, their effects are very serious, and are often the direct cause of death." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)
