Prostate Cancer Biomarker
The results, published in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) ONE journal, showed that MSMB is found at significantly lower levels in the urine of men diagnosed with prostate cancer than those without the disease. They also showed men with aggressive tumors were also likely to have lower levels of the protein in their urine.

Most medical research is clinically useless, and so, sadly, are most systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
The quote is from Lehman, not me.

Yes We Get Earthquakes in Oklahoma
Magnitude 4.5 earthquake shook Oklahoma this morning | NewsOK.com
When I travel and tell people stories about the weather in Oklahoma, most find it hard to believe earthquakes occur in the state.
This post is further evidence that I am not joking about earthquakes in Oklahoma.
I think the “big one” is coming.

I tried this exercise and the results were most interesting.
Ask your Medical Director or MD why.

Lehman’s Journal Review 10.4.2010

Like about 40% of adults of my age in Western countries, I have a fatty liver, though I don’t qualify for having nonalcoholic fatty liver disease because I drink too much. If I wanted to know what is really happening to my liver I would have to have serial biopsies, as would several million people in the UK. This non-disease correlates with a number of other non-diseases such as asymptomatic reduced left systolic ejection fraction and pre-diabetes, and some real risk factors such as actual diabetes and high blood pressure. So I might die of vascular disease; or liver failure if I really overdo the wine; or else from cancer or general crumble or whatever else awaits me and everyone else. This paper on the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease goes through the data and leaves me none the wiser: and by the way, these people are not patients and they don’t have a disease.
General crumble?
Low Carb Diets and Mortality
Low-Carbohydrate Diets and All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality — Ann Intern Med
Conclusion: A low-carbohydrate diet based on animal sources was associated with higher all-cause mortality in both men and women, whereas a vegetable-based low-carbohydrate diet was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality rates.
