http://www.wddty.com/letters-to-the-editor en-gb http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 20 Re the letter ‘EFAs sorted my cholesterol’ in WDDTY vol 16 no 9, the cholesterol levels are meaningless to me, and probably to some other readers, too, as they are given in mg/dL. It would have been helpful to have added the English equivalent in brackets. Maybe you could bear this in mind in future and provide the information to make the letter meaningful to me. - Edda Best, via e-mail http://www.wddty.com/cholesterol-confusion.html http://www.wddty.com/cholesterol-confusion.html Wed, 1 Mar 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health I was glad to see you write about some of the benefits of high-dose vitamin C (WDDTY vol 16 no 11). It’s very sad that drug-company propaganda has made people more afraid of natural remedies than drugs, which can kill and incapacitate millions. As a nutritionist also working in a health store, I find it difficult to recommend vitamin C to people because of the scurrilous reporting of research a few years ago in which vitamin C was sensation-ally presented as dangerous in doses over 500 mg. The EU upper limit is 1-2 g. http://www.wddty.com/in-praise-of-vitamin-c.html http://www.wddty.com/in-praise-of-vitamin-c.html Wed, 1 Mar 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health As a subscriber to WDDTY and someone who has been badly affected by the illness ME [myalgic encephalomyelitis] for almost 15 years, I was astonished and disappointed to read ‘Epidemic by hysteria’ on page 8 of WDDTY vol 16 no 9. http://www.wddty.com/me-is-not-all-in-the-head.html http://www.wddty.com/me-is-not-all-in-the-head.html Wed, 1 Feb 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health I am a research psychologist and psychotherapist. I liked ‘Finding the cancer soul’ (viewpoint in WDDTY vol 16 no 7) very much. Indeed, it speaks of certain ‘truths’ about cancer. http://www.wddty.com/therapy-for-psychosomatics.html http://www.wddty.com/therapy-for-psychosomatics.html Wed, 1 Feb 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health Re avian flu in WDDTY vol 16 no 9, there have been several epidemics and medical scares in my lifetime, and it would seem that most of these are man-made. When you think of the deplorable state that chickens and other animals are kept in, is it surprising we now have bird flu? http://www.wddty.com/man-made-epidemics.html http://www.wddty.com/man-made-epidemics.html Wed, 1 Feb 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health Re soy (WDDTY vol 16 no 8), my wife and I never normally eat soy products. What does concern us is that soy milk in our tea is an integral part of our diet. http://www.wddty.com/alternatives-to-soy-milk.html http://www.wddty.com/alternatives-to-soy-milk.html Wed, 1 Feb 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health I was refiling WDDTY vol 15 no 8, when it fell open to page 8, where two headlines are ‘Polycystic problems’ and ‘Chronic cold sores’. http://www.wddty.com/more-on-homeopathy-please.html http://www.wddty.com/more-on-homeopathy-please.html Sun, 1 Jan 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health Re osteoporosis (WDDTY vol 16 no 5, page 12), boron (as Osteo-Trace) has been used for years for both arthritis and osteoporosis - and without side-effects. http://www.wddty.com/boron-for-osteoporosis.html http://www.wddty.com/boron-for-osteoporosis.html Sun, 1 Jan 2006 12:00:00 GMT Health I’m a 59-year-old woman whose total cholesterol had been around 250 mg/ dL for several years. Last year, it was 254 mg/dL. My triglycericides were high, as was my LDL [the ‘bad’ low-density lipoprotein type of cholesterol]. http://www.wddty.com/efas-sorted-my-cholesterol_1.html http://www.wddty.com/efas-sorted-my-cholesterol_1.html Thu, 1 Dec 2005 12:00:00 GMT Health Re A.G.’s letter, ‘Preparing for winter’, in WDDTY vol 16 no 7, up until two years go, I, too, was prone to colds and flu at this time of the year. I tried supplements, homeopathy, antibiotics and even had my tonsil remnants removed, but nothing helped. http://www.wddty.com/flu-an-easy-nut-to-crack.html http://www.wddty.com/flu-an-easy-nut-to-crack.html Thu, 1 Dec 2005 12:00:00 GMT Health Re A.G.’s letter, ‘Preparing for winter’, in WDDTY vol 16 no 7, up until two years go, I, too, was prone to colds and flu at this time of the year.

In the early 70s and 80s, I did groundbreaking research, published in mainstream journals such as the Journal of Auditory Research, the Journal of the American Audiology Society, the Journal of Medical Audiology and the Hearing Aid Journal, showing that there is help for tinnitus by correcting metabolic disorders and balancing body chemistry. I myself overcame total deafness and maddening tinnitus with my discoveries. - Dr Paul Yanick, via e-mail http://www.wddty.com/tinnitus-expert-not-heard.html http://www.wddty.com/tinnitus-expert-not-heard.html Thu, 1 Dec 2005 12:00:00 GMT Health Re the Q&A on tinnitus in WDDTY vol 16 no 7, I was surprised to see my own research not cited.
