Here's a quote on prostate cancer from, "In the News"

"Male Infertility Linked to Prostate Cancer

"Researchers say that infertile men may have an increased risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. A study of 22,000 Californian men who had been evaluated for infertility between 1967 and 1998 found that infertility increased their chances of being diagnosed with aggressive tumors 2.6 times. It remains unclear why this link exists, but it may help doctors identify which patients should be screened for the cancer. Prostate cancer is one of the most common invasive cancers among males, affecting about 160 per 100,000 every year. More ... Discuss"


As you know, the box in the left hand column changes with the day, so to preserve this for future viewers to access it, it is quoted here.

As you may know, I have a relative that had prostate cancer, so I am frequently reading the journal articles on this topic. The news article above is a good place to start Reach Reading tm to enhance science literacy and science education.

Acupuncture in the News. I think the title should say, Lack of top aseptic technique whether in acupuncture or any other medical or allied medical

or any hygeine procedure (like FAILURE TO WASH HANDS after urinating..., SPREADS DISEASE).

"Acupuncture Spreads Diseases

"Contaminated needles, cotton swabs, and hot packs, are transmitting bacterial infections, hepatitis B and C, and possibly even HIV to acupuncture patients. Experts say tighter regulations requiring the use of disposable needles and the implementation of skin disinfection procedures and aseptic techniques are needed to protect consumers. They also say that a new syndrome, called acupuncture mycobacteriosis, is a growing problem. This infection usually leads to large abscesses and ulcers, but some people develop more serious problems including joint destruction, multi-organ failure, flesh-eating disease, and paralysis.

"Acupuncture spreads Disease,"...is quoted here (below) because the In the News box(above) changes daily.

Contaminated needles, cotton swabs, and hot packs, are transmitting bacterial infections, hepatitis B and C, and possibly even HIV to acupuncture patients. Experts say tighter regulations requiring the use of disposable needles and the implementation of skin disinfection procedures and aseptic techniques are needed to protect consumers. They also say that a new syndrome, called acupuncture mycobacteriosis, is a growing problem. This infection usually leads to large abscesses and ulcers, but some people develop more serious problems including joint destruction, multi-organ failure, flesh-eating disease, and paralysis.

My own experience with acupuncture has been very positive, so, I will have to do some reading and reflecting and then post ideas later...

I have had acupuncture, for two years plus, following a car accident and did not get any infections. Chui Hui does use great aseptic technique, however.
