    Medical How Does the Use of Birth Control Pills Affect the Incidence of Cervical Cancer?

    Are you asking for the historical correlation, like specifically whether the rate of birth control / oral contraceptive use among women is directly proportional to the incidence of cervical cancer? Or are you asking if there is indeed an established causal relationship between birth control and...

    Medical Gerson Method and Nutrition Therapy (FoodMatters)

    Recommendations made by governments and research agencies are based on the thousands of studies that demonstrate the preventive efficacy of a plant-based diet against the first-world chronic afflictions, namely cancer (which I have spoken most about). Scientific bodies do not publish...

    Medical Gerson Method and Nutrition Therapy (FoodMatters)

    "nismaratwork", I'd like you to selectively quote where I asked which plants are not nutritious for humans. As for the rest of your remarks, you're clearly not someone worth debating. For one, you have trouble understanding my posts. Secondly, you have presented nothing factual to counter...

    Medical Gerson Method and Nutrition Therapy (FoodMatters)

    This is quackery, but complementary medicine is something for which I am very much a proponent. Eating well, controlling stress, exercising, and other unconventional means to wellness are well-researched and do not take the place of, but rather complement, real medical care. If people did eat...

    Nuclear Engineering and Medicine

    Hello, I am a college student currently giving thought to a BS in nuclear engineering. I find all areas of nuclear engineering fascinating, but my interests are foremost in medical applications of nuclear technology (medical diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, public health and radiation...
