I want my husband to get his hormones tested but he thinks it’s a waste of time. He just turned 50 and lately has been more tired and doesn’t have much energy. His muscle mass has been dwindling and doesn’t have that stamina that he used to. He says he is just getting old and that’s what happens. He is overall a healthy person, could hormones help him feel better?

Liz, 47

Yes, as men age their hormones begin to decline too. These may include: testosterone, DHEA, human growth hormone and thyroid. All of these need to be checked and balanced. At IDinHealth, we do that by first by using natural stimulants, rather than the hormone itself, which is safer and often less expensive. Men may also develop a high insulin level, which is unhealthy and should be lowered naturally.

Q:
I have a history of blood clots and take Coumadin. I was told by my GYN that I CANNOT take Progesterone because it can increase risk of blood clots. Is this true? I had a hysterectomy at age 33 and my body is in desperate need of Progesterone.
Cheryl, 38

A:
This is NOT true of Bio-Identical Progesterone. Natural progesterone is safe. There is no evidence that natural progesterone increases clotting, in fact, the opposite is true. Natural progesterone is a vasodilator that helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Synthetic progesterone (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is present in many birth control pills and increases the risk of blood clots. Unfortunately, the use of synthetic progesterones is widespread.

Don’t be discouraged, there is hope you may feel better on natural progesterone, given in a natural way.

Q:
“I had my blood pressure measured the other day and it was 117/66. Is that a normal blood pressure reading? Also, what do those numbers mean?”

Linda, 44

A:
The top number should be under 140; it’s called the “systolic” number. It measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats (when the heart muscle contracts).The bottom number should be under 90; it’s called the “diastolic” number. It measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats (when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood).

Q:
Being that we live in Minnesota, should I be concerned with my Vitamin D levels being low? How much Vitamin D should I be taking?
- JB

A:
Most of the Midwest population are deficient in Vitamin D. Research suggests that vitamin D could play a role in the prevention and treatment of a number of different conditions, including: Diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and multiple sclerosis. Among our patients, most are on 2000U in the summer and 5000U in the winter, but we cannot advise you to do the same without being monitored.

Q:
What is DHEA and why is it so important to have in our bodies?

Sandy, 55

A:
DHEA is a natural steroid hormone. It is the major secretory steroidal product of the adrenal glands. It is also produced by the gonads and the brain. DHEA is the most abundant circulating steroid in our body. Low levels of DHEA in our body can affect: memory, physical performance, muscle loss, infertility and reproduction, longevity, and can also cause depression, increase risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. Supplements of DHEA may be taken under the supervision of a medical doctor. Too much DHEA in our body is not always a good thing. DHEA releases small amounts of estrogen and for women testosterone, therefore DHEA blood levels need to be monitored closely. Having optimal levels of DHEA will bring back zest and vitality that men and women have lost throughout the years.

Q:
“I feel so great since starting The Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement program. Why is it necessary I come back at least twice a year?”
-M.D.

A:
Continuous monitoring of blood levels and symptom management is very important to our practice. Hormones fluctuate and the body changes as we age. Keeping modest levels of estrogen and progesterone is key to prevention of breast cancer.
Ongoing monitoring of patient and blood levels of hormones is important in our practice. Women vary in their response to hormones, which should be kept at optimal levels in each woman. Too little and too much of anything is undesirable. Also, we implement measures to prevent heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis, dementia and cancer, and make sure our patients are following all of these treatment modalities correctly.

Q:
I want to lose a little extra weight this summer but don’t want to go back on over-the-counter “diet pills.” Does your clinic offer anything for weight loss that is more of a natural supplement without the bad side effects?

-Cathy

A:
First, what we would do is investigate why you are having the extra weight. We would want to look at the whole picture and not just give you weight loss pills, that route will just not work. An hormone imbalance could be a possible culprit to your problem. Hormones play a big role in how we look and feel. There could be a number of reasons as to why there is weight gain. Estrogen/Progesterone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance are just a few of the possible problems. The best thing to do is put an end to the “diet pill” theory and first find out what the underlying cause is.

Q: I have been taking a vitamin E supplement (400IU) everyday, is that enough? Are all vitamin E supplements the same?

Debbie

A: When using Vitamin E supplements, it is important to get the complete Vitamin E with all 8 Vitamin E’s. An incomplete Vitamin E supplement, alpha-tocopherol was previously the only Vitamin E sold; research showed this anti-oxidant to be the major tocopherol in the body. The other 7 E’s were found to be minor and unimportant. Now research has found all Vitamin E’s to be essential. Taking a supplement with only one form could be detrimental to your health. Vitamin E is important to your health in many ways. It protect against the damaging effects of free radicals in the body. Because each form provides a slightly different benefit it is important to consume all eight types. Also, it’s important to take the tocotrienols along with some form of oil or fat-containing food. When tocotrienols are taken on an empty stomach, absorption is reduced by an average of 50%.

Q: "I am currently taking Progesterone Triturate, directions are to take ½ hour before bedtime. However, it doesn't seem to dissolve very well because when I wake up in the morning, some of it is still under my tongue. I just swallow the remaining piece in my mouth because I don't want to waste it. Is that ok? Do you have any tips on how to make it dissolve faster?

Lori

A: To help dissolve the triturate faster, mesh it up with your front teeth so it's almost like a paste, then place under tongue again. Continue rolling tongue over tablet until it dissolved. A couple rules to live by when taking Progesterone Triturate:

DO NOT lay down with tablet in mouth. Sit up to prevent swallowing tablet secretions.
Swallowing the tablet or secretions will NOT be as effective, dissolving tablet under the tongue goes directly to the bloodstream to manage symptoms quickly.

If you are still having difficulty with it dissolving, contact me, (952-922-2345 or email charity@idinhealth.com), to decide what the next step is.

More Than Menopause

By Eliza Drewa

"It pays to be smart about hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy simply is just what it sounds like: replacing and balancing the body's natural hormone levels with hormones that are identical to those found in humans. Over the past decade there has been some confusion and controversy regarding the safety of the therapy". Read more in the "More than Menopause" article featuring Dr. Mahmud in New You Magazine.

Q: “Growing up I was always told that I need to eat fat free foods in order to lose weight. However, now I am hearing some fats are good for you and the body needs them. I’m confused with what fats I should eat." – Ellen

A: Not all fats are created equal. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are good, both types are thought to have beneficial effects to fight disease. Examples of these good fats: Walnuts, flaxseed, olive oil and fish, Omega 3 (fish oil) Omega 6 is ok but in limited quantity (mayonnaise, vegetable oil). Saturated fats are known as the “bad fats”, these should be limited as much as possible. Examples of saturated fats: animal meats, butter, chocolate and many prepared foods. Trans fats are found in “junk food.” Foods that commonly contain trans fat include most margarine, fried foods and commercially-baked goods. Always remember to eat in moderation and know you CAN have too much of a good thing. Good fats are good for you, in reasonable portions.

Q: “I take Wellbutrin for mild depression, I’ve been having some fluttering in my chest but it doesn’t seem heart related. Could it be my medication or early menopause? I am still having periods, but not as regular as before. I have read that a symptom of menopause is heart fluttering or palpitations". - Katie 

A: It is very difficult to make an assessment/diagnosis via e-mail. Heart fluttering can be from MANY things! I would strongly encourage you to follow up with the provider who prescribed the Wellbutrin.

While heart fluttering could potentially be related to some hormonal changes, it can be related to many other things as well. I included your question in “Ask the Nurse”, because though yours is more specific, this is something I often hear. Women read about a variety of symptoms that all can be related to hormonal shifts (including non-sex hormones) and tend to attribute any number of symptoms to this. It is always very important to rule out any other issue, first, though, before assuming it is merely hormonal imbalances.

Best of luck to you!!

Q: Can I take fiber everyday?

A: Short answer: yes. Long answer: it's always best to get most nutrition (including fiber) from diet. Increasing vegetables, fruits and whole grains are the best option. However, if it is too difficult to get the adequate amount of fiber through your diet, then you can take fiber daily.

Be careful if you are just starting out with fiber supplements; starting out with too much, too quickly can make you bloated, gassy and miserable. Use the natural, bulk-forming fibers and use just enough to keep regular.

Q: I am 48 but close to menopause. I skip periods and when I have them they are very light. Do I still need to worry about getting pregnant?” – Michelle

A: YES! Many women are under the (false) impression that they can no longer get pregnant after a certain age or when they are close to menopause. I have even had patients that have regular periods and think they don’t need to worry about pregnancy if they’re in peri-menopause or starting to have symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, etc.

Bottom line: if you still are having periods – if even only once in a while – you can get pregnant! Now, granted, your incidence is not as high and certainly viability is not great, but you still need to be cautious. Menopause is not until you have gone 12 consecutive months without a period.

Q: I gain a few pounds every holiday season and I’m just so sick of it! Is there anything you can recommend??” – Nancy

A: Nancy, this is a very common story…and very commonly frustrating! Personally, I think it’s best to remember that parties and food and drink are a part of our celebration rituals and are an important part of socialization. To think you won’t participate or won’t eat/drink might be setting yourself up for failure. Instead…learn to embrace the celebration, and the people,….but have a PLAN for the indulgences part!

For example, if you are hosting a party or dinner, try to make the conversation or other non-food related rituals the focus. Keep the food in a separate area so people aren’t tempted (including yourself) to eat mindlessly. If you go to a party, never show up hungry. Try eating a plate full of raw veggies prior to going to fill yourself up and drink a few glasses of water. Then, enjoy the foods you like – but take very small servings of each. Remember it is the enjoyment of tasting the good food that is pleasurable – not getting so full that you are stuffed and don’t feel well. With drinks, take ½ the serving (like ½ glass wine) and make sure to have a large glass of water in between the next drink. If you are a dessert lover, have a few bites so that you enjoy the flavor but then stop. Remember to savor the food with each and every bite. Also, keep other calories to a minimum on days you know you’ll be entertaining.

Life is full of moments that we should embrace and celebrate and they often come with rituals of eating and drinking. Instead of having an inner struggle with this each holiday or special occasion, learn to expect the challenges. Have a plan and make these small changes to lead to an overall lifestyle change that lasts all year long. If you do gain a few pounds, relax and don’t beat yourself up over it…get right back on reducing calories over the next few weeks to lose the pounds immediately.

Everything in balance and moderation…. Happy Holidays!!!!

Re: Hormones & Breast Cancer on NBC Nightly News

2010-11-01T12:18:00.001-05:00

Brian Williams recently broadcasted a show about hormones and breast cancer. Many of you have asked what Dr. Mahmud thought about the information presented. Please read his response below…

--------------------------------

The much publicized recent JAMA article, an extension of the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study, once again proves that artificial drug “hormones”, specifically Prem-Pro, increase the risk of deadly breast cancer.

What is not being emphasized is the fact that Prem-Pro is a drug and not a real hormone. The Prem part [premarin] is mostly a horse estrogen, and Pro [provera] a chemical alteration of progesterone. Drug companies created these artificial “hormones” to receive patents, thus enabling them to sell billions of dollars worth with billions in profits. Real hormones, unfortunately, could not be patented and were therefore understandably sidelined.

Practicing physicians, and public, should understand that altering Nature’s molecules leads to trouble. You cannot add an O to H2O and still call it water – it becomes hydrogen peroxide- or add H to fats and fool mother nature, because, as every one knows, hydrogenated fats have already caused a lot of heart attacks.

Anti-Aging doctors have understood this difference for many years and have been evolving ways to give natural, “bio-identical”, hormones in natural ways to avoid all complications, not just breast cancer. I personally have published my results [Natural Hormone Therapy for Menopause, Gynecological Endocrinology, Feb 2010], a review [Hormones and breast cancer: Can we use them in ways that could reduce the risk; Oncology Reviews, 2008], and a book: Keeping aBreast: Ways to Stop Breast Cancer.

Numerous scientific articles in the literature explain the health benefits of natural hormones and the toxicities of drug “hormones”. More pertinent to this topic, a large French study by Fournier and associates, analyzing 80,000 hormone using women, has revealed that women using artificial estrogen plus artificial progesterone had a 69% increase in breast cancer; even women using only artificial estrogen had a 29 % increase; but those taking natural progesterone had no increase, despite the fact that they were also using artificial estrogen [Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2008, Jan]. A similar Canadian study [British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2008, June] showed that artificial hormones increase risk of breast cancer, but estrogen taken as a cream [like most Anti-Aging doctors use] did not increase the risk. Women using artificial hormones have been reported to have a 10-40% increased risk of developing abnormal mammograms. In our own practice [more than 400 patients followed for more than a year], there have been no mammographic abnormalities.

There is no question that natural hormones can be given to women for health benefits and without causing any harm. For now, conventional physicians, are not familiar with the use of such hormones. Women would do better to seek an Anti-Aging doctor, and enquire in advance that he/she is trained in using these hormones naturally and would monitor the patient and blood levels as therapy goes on.

- Angela

A:
Angela – because of the recent news attention to this study, we have actually posted Dr. Mahmud’s response on our website. Many women are very confused (and scared) about the information, but you need to know that this is NOT new information. It is a break-off of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study done years ago. Also, the “hormones” they are referring to are NOT hormones. They are the same drugs we have been warning against for years – Premarin and Provera. As always, it’s important to be an informed consumer and understand exactly what they are discussing. We continue to prescribe bio-identical hormones with every bit of confidence we are doing so safely.

In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought I would summarize how to best detect and prevent breast cancer this month, in lieu of publishing any questions.

Specific risk factors for breast cancer are: close relative having breast cancer, history of artificial hormone use (for any period of time), smoking, drinking alcohol, a diet poor in vegetables, low Vitamin D levels, and excess weight (>20 pounds overweight). Also, having PMS (a progesterone-deficiency) is a risk factor, as well. The caveat of all this is that many patients who develop breast cancer have no risk factors at all.

For best breast health, including breast cancer prevention and early detection:

1. Get yearly mammograms
2. Perform monthly self exams (although current recommendations advise this isn’t mandatory, I personally believe they are still a good idea); any changes should be reported to your provider
3. Do not use synthetic hormone replacement drugs (HRT)
4. If you smoke, please quit or at least cut down as much as possible
5. Reduce weight – keep your weight in healthy range with Body Mass Index (BMI) between 19-24
6. Limit alcohol intake to 1-2 drinks daily at most; and preferably red wine
7. Know your “D” – make sure your blood level for Vitamin D is between 50-80ng/ml…if it isn’t you’ll need to add supplementation. Most patients we have are on an average of 5,000 units daily!
8. Increase daily vegetable intake – if you can’t get 7 servings a day (and who can??) I recommend Super Green Energy powder – ½-1 scoop has everything you need to enhance your nutrition!
9. If you have PMS, consider getting treatment with bio-identical hormones – women with PMS have 3x greater risk of breast cancer
10. Add Green Tea Extract supplements (not just drinking the tea itself) 400mg daily – this is the strongest, most powerful natural supplement we can take to prevent breast cancer. It fights breast cancer cells in at least 8 different ways!
11. Other supplements to consider (especially if you are at high risk) – Indole 3 Carbinol, Lycopene, Iodine, Curcumin

Happy Breast Health!!! ~ Geri

Q: I am in menopause; do I still need a yearly PAP smear?

A: Current recommendations for women over 30 who have had previous negative PAP smears should get one done every 3 years. After menopause, your doctor or nurse practitioner may recommend a PAP smear less frequently if they feel it’s appropriate. All women, including menopausal women, should get an annual pelvic exam. The pelvic exam does not necessarily involve a PAP smear test, but does include a physical exam to rule out any abnormalities.

If you’ve had any abnormal PAP tests, please ask your GYN practitioner which schedule is best for you.

Q: “My estrogen cream does not seem to be absorbing. Any ideas on how to better absorb?”

A: Great question! Often times, when someone is not absorbing the cream well (needing to use much larger amounts than normal to get the effects); I start with asking, “How are you applying the cream?” You should always exfoliate the arm skin first. You can do this daily in the bath/shower with a loofah or washcloth. Exfoliate after washing, as many body washes contain oils that interfere with absorption.
Secondly; starting with dry arm, apply the cream by spreading a thin layer over a large area of the inner arm (think about mid forearm all the way up through bicep). Make sure to alternate arms with each dose.

Q: Is it really important to follow the instructional label on my vitamins when it directs me to take them with food or on an empty stomach?

A: “Yes, it is. The recommendations are usually made based on absorption rates of the vitamins/supplements or GI tolerance. Many vitamins/supplements can interfere with each other if they not supposed to be taken together or with food. Others many need to be taken with food to increase absorption or to reduce risk of upsetting your stomach. So, yes, it is important!

Q: “HELP! I am losing a lot of hair lately. I’ve read hormones can be related to this – what do I do???” – Jillian

A: “There may be several reasons women notice hair loss or thinning. Balancing hormones is, indeed, a very big component of getting to the “root” of the problem. You would need to have your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and thyroid levels all checked. The vast majority of women do respond to hormone balancing to help stop hair loss and start re-growth of new hair. However; keep in mind there are other factors too that can contribute to hair loss, like stress and genetic male-pattern-type loss. In any situation a good, thorough evaluation from your doctor or provider is the best place to start. Good luck!” -Geri

Q: “I've noticed I don’t have the same sexual desires I used to have. I’m 45 and have always been very sexually active. Is it possible my testosterone has dropped?"

A: This is a very common complaint from both men and women! Libido generally starts to decline as we age and hormones play an important role in that. However, libido for a woman is trickier than for a man. Women are much more likely to be effected by stress, kids, finances, work, etc. and even by relationship nuances. Although a woman can be treated with testosterone, there are generally more things involved with diagnosing low libido than just testosterone.

I would recommend you have your Doctor/Nurse Practitioner check your hormone levels. Often when a woman’s estrogen starts to diminish, she experiences vaginal dryness and sometimes painful intercourse. Estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and testosterone should all be checked. After discussing your results, your provider can prescribe testosterone if you are deficient but may start with a variety of other things before doing that.

In essence, your sexual health is very important and should not be ignored. Don’t be embarrassed to discuss this with a healthcare professional – we are here to help you!

Ask the Nurse - April 2010

Q: "I am 41 and still have periods that are getting worse with age. I now suffer from a lot of PMS – which I never did before! I have bloating, sore breasts and gain about 5 pounds with every period. I also have anxiety that seems to be related to my periods. Is there anything I can do with hormones to help or do I need to wait until I hit menopause?”

~ Kellie

A: “It is very common to have an increase in PMS symptoms as we age. Our hormones begin to decline, change and become imbalanced long before we actually complete menopause (by definition, 12 consecutive months without a period). Most women start to experience changes after the age of 35, though some are more subtle than others and not everyone is affected in the same way. Every woman is unique. Common symptoms of PMS are bloating, weight gain with period, breast tenderness, mood swings, anxiety, cravings, increased cramping, and irritability. Typically symptoms start about a week before the period but in many cases as early as 2 weeks prior. If you are experiencing these symptoms, there is help. We treat many women with hormonal imbalances of PMS and most report feeling much better with their PMS symptoms greatly relieved! Remember… changing, declining hormones is a process, not an event. There are measures you can take along the way to feel better!”

“Do you have any recommendations for programs that work for weight loss?? I’m so fed up with my weight!” – Julie

“We are frequently asked which weight loss programs work. In general, we believe internal balance is the best place to start. We can help our patients with hormonal balancing (including thyroid), nutritional recommendations & guidelines and also exercise guidelines/tips. However; because many of our patients desire more help especially more advanced one-on-one advice, we have teamed up with Registered Dietician Sharon Lehrman. Dr. Mahmud has worked with Sharon for a number of years and has a great deal of respect for her work – both with her results and her philosophies.

We want our patients to be successful with all aspects of their anti-aging program and to look and feel their best! If you are someone who would like additional help in the areas of nutrition and weight loss and are interested in learning more about Sharon’s work, please visit her website at www.nutritionhealthandwellness.com or call her at 952-412-5738.”

We always welcome suggestions from our patients, as well, if they have ideas that might help others!

2010-01-31T19:38:00.003-06:00

“Why can’t I get Armour Thyroid, when will it be available, and what do I do in the meantime??” – Sheryl

Firstly…you are not alone!! I hear your frustration, and so do the 1,000’s of other Armour users nation-wide! There have been some production issues with Armour over the last several months, but contrary to popular opinion, it has not been banned by the FDA or permanently removed from the market (at least not yet). Our reports from our pharmacists are that we hope to expect seeing it again in late March.

In the meantime, if you can locate any Nature’s Throid or Westhroid, that is the best option. If you can’t, just call or e-mail me. We work with a few pharmacies that are compounding their own natural blend of thyroid that is similar to Armour. The last option is to switch over to synthetic during this time (though this is not my favorite idea). Whatever you decide, I am happy to call your prescription in anywhere for you. And keep in mind…it’s only temporary (we hope!!)

Lastly, I am creating a list of people to contact once I do hear that Armour is available. I am happy to add you to that list – just e-mail me and I’ll be sure to let you know when I do!!

“Why do I have to check my vitamin D levels? I’m already taking Vitamin D. Plus, my family doctor told me my levels were fine.” – Gina

Vitamin D has emerged in the last several years as one of the most promising anti-aging “treatments” – it’s cheap, easy, and works wonders for just about every organ and cell in the entire body! For decades now, the medical community has thought that serum blood levels of Vitamin D at 32ng/ml and above were good. We couldn’t have been more off-base! We now know, that the optimal levels are >50ng/ml (I like between 60 - 80 ng/ml). At these higher levels, we can reduce the risk of many cancers, (specifically breast cancer), male heart attacks, depression, neurological disorders, auto-immune disorders, diabetes, upper respiratory disorders, falls in women, cold & flu viruses and infections at very substantial rates. The benefits of adequate Vitamin D are enormous!

Most of our patients we test for the first time are very low in Vitamin D – even those that take supplements! I have seen way too many times a patient taking 1,000 units or more daily, and they STILL have deficient or suboptimal levels! This is why we recommend knowing your blood levels. Once we know your accurate level, we can make recommendations on the appropriate amount of Vitamin D to take every day!

Q: What do you make of the new mammogram screening recommendations? I am still confused! - Ann, 47

A: We having been hearing this a lot lately! Unfortunately, the new mammogram screening recommendations (from The US Preventive Services Task Force) are causing a lot of confusion for women now. Basically, the new recommendations of biannual screening starting at 50 are probably ok if you choose to wait that long, as long as you have NO risk factors for breast cancer. The caveat of that is that many patients who develop breast cancer have no risk factors at all.

Specific risk factors for breast cancer are: close relative having breast cancer, history of artificial hormone use (for any period of time), smoking, drinking alcohol, a diet poor in vegetables, low Vitamin D levels, and excess weight (>20 pounds overweight). Also, having PMS (a progesterone-deficiency) might be a potential risk factor, as well.

Our recommendations are to continue with the American Cancer Society recommendations of annual screening at 40 if you have any risk factors at all; or if you feel more comfortable with that. If you truly want to wait until you’re 50, please do so only if you do not have any risk factors. Personally, I’ve seen way too many patients under the age of 50 who have had breast cancer!

Bioidentical Hormones, a former FDA panelist viewpoint.

2009-09-02T16:26:00.004-05:00

Why is Prevention not the natural "first line of defense" when it comes to disease? This clip contemplates that question. There is an overwhelming need for value in medicine. Whether the private sector or a larger scope such as Government concerns itself with it, there is no question that costs are made costlier for healthcare when truth and intention is not straightforward, and when the already complicated is made infinitely complex and vague; instead of simplified as it can be.

There are abundant Medical Studies devoted to finding the cause of cancer and the prevention of it as well. This EPK demonstrates one particular view of one Doctor who is sharing the knowledge that is already out there. His book is on the Prevention of breast cancer, made simple. Bioidentical Hormones is one way women can help prevent breast cancer.

Like the knowledge of trans-fat began saving perhaps millions from premature heart failure and other ailments when first made public knowledge by none other than a Lawyer; maybe one day the general public will be as wise on avoiding cancer - because the answers are out there; one hopes this time learning it from a Doctor instead. Dr. Khalid Mahmud helps explain in his book how to avoid Breast Cancer, though one can't help but derive - that other cancer risks may also be reduced by elements he writes of in his book "Keeping aBreast: Ways to Prevent Breast Cancer".

Dr. Khalid Mahmud is Quadruple board certification in the fields of Anti-Aging Medicine, Internal Medicine, Hematology, and Oncology. He has been an FDA panelist as well on devices and radiological health. Suzanne Somers devotes a chapter on him in her book "Breakthrough".

Dr. Mahmud is arguably the most credited Doctor that is outspoken on Bio-identical Hormones; this perhaps is because of his knowledge on the factors that cause breast cancer, using it to prevent it instead.

The doctor is all for a cure but is baffled on why science in it's infinite wisdom doesn't know how to teach prevention. Prevention is a way for any one person to take charge and eliminate a need for a cure, because that is when the problems for all involved, really begin. Run for the prevention; and one may avoid the need to run for when it's too late.

Hopkins cancer specialist's ideas featured in Suzanne Somers' book

BY MARC INGBER
SUN NEWSPAPERS
(Created: Monday, November 3, 2008 7:43 AM CST)

Dr. Khalid Mahmud sees cancer treatment as two sides of a coin. One includes the medicines and procedures patients undergo after diagnosis.

Mahmud worked on that spectrum of medicine for 25 years as a cancer and internal-medicine specialist. However, for the past six years, he has focused his work on the other side of the coin - cancer prevention.

Meticulously detailed research went into the writing of Dr. Mahmud’s book. Depicted are case histories explaining lifestyle choices, body composition, exercise, food choices, endocrine changes (naturally and through medication), vitamins, supplements and other preventative measures a woman can do to significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer. Simplified guidelines are included with relation to a woman’s age, genetic history, and other factors. The book is based on Dr. Mahmud’s 25 years of experience as an oncologist and an extensive review of scientific literature.
