In the usa, people tend to look at the world in very simple terms. They will believe that one should follow the recommendations of the "professionals" in every case. In fact, that's often not a good course. One should think critically and independently about the world. This is true also when it comes to matters of personal health.

As in many areas, Canadians seem to be much more wise about these things. Here's a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcast which looks at the dangers of prescreening people - specifically screening men for prostate cancer.

This somewhat technically worded article from "New Scientist" magazine caught my eye recently. The writer describes research being done in Canada which seems to be providing some inroads into an eventual cure for cancer.

I was particularly intrigued by the description the writer offers here - because this is the first time I have ever seen an article describing cancer research which frankly and candidly describes the details of how the metabolism of a cancer cell differs from that of a normal healthy cell. This research with DCA seems to me to have more merit than other studies I've read, because the researchers are illustrating some literal understanding of the mechanics of the processes within cancer cells.
