Tuesday Talk Show's Podcast

7 to 10 times more women die yearly of unsuspected heart disease than breast cancer. Radiologists can see if you might be at risk for heart disease on every mammogram they read. Yet they rarely, if ever, report it to the patient. Many lives could be saved if something was said. Listen to Lindsay and Dr. Blanchet as they discuss this surprising benefit that you can get from a mammogram, but no one talks about. This 10 minute podcast can save a life.

The AIM HIGH study was a large national study looking at the use of niacin in treating patients with heart disease. The study was stopped early as authorities stated that to continue the study was "futile". Apparently this has caused some of the top physicians in the country to limit their use of niacin in their patients. Is that good or not? The bottom line is, should we take or toss our niacin? Join Lindsay and Dr. Blanchet as they discuss this very important news. You will get the real facts, so that you can make you own decision.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month. This is a very special program featuring Lindsay's Aunt Mary, calling The Tuesday Talk rShow from Michigan.  The program is dedicated to Lindsay's cousin Bob who died 6 months ago at age 51 from colon cancer.  This is a tragedy.  It need not have happened.  This is a disease with a very high cure rate, if detected early.  For anyone with a family history of colon cancer, I sincerely ask you to listen to my Aunt Mary's story and the story of her son Bob.  If we can get any one of you in for colon cancer screening as a result of this program, then perhaps there can be some solace in knowing that our family tragedy could help spare another. Thank you for listening, and thank you for passing this podcast along to someone you know who needs to hear this as well.

Dr. Daine shares his personal experience as he talks about his own diagnosis of colon cancer. The physical healing process, he discovered, is completely different than the emotional healing process. How one copes with either of these processes can be opportunities for growth. They can also have the equal potential of being incapacitating. What is it like when we are forced to face our own mortality? How much can we control? What can we do?

We are all familiar with cardiac stents.  A lot of stents are being used by cardiologists today.  Most of us probably know someone who has a stent.  Perhaps you even have one. Do stents actually prevent heart attacks?  If you have a stent, are you free from the worry and consequences of heart disease?  Are stents always necessary?  Please listen to Dr. Blanchet and Lindsay as they discuss stents, and tell you the facts about the rest of the stent story.
