NCI Well Connect Mid-Week Brief
March 28, 2018
Spring Break Sale 3/28-3/31
Dear Steve, 

DID YOU KNOW that Rhodiola extract promotes a calm emotional state and supports strong mental performance, optimal immune function, and hormonal balance?

Rhodiola is a key adaptogen for reducing anxiety. This is especially true if you have a partial or full mutation of the dopamine (DRD2) gene.

Rhodiola improves mental and physical stamina, improves sleep, and reduces stress, burn out, and irritability. Dosage varies based upon individual needs. Avoid if you have bipolar depression with manic behavior.

WE NOW ACCEPT RAW GENETIC DATA FROM ANCESTRY.COM!
Pure Genomics can now process results from raw genetic data through Ancestry.com. In the past, we could only process 23andMe raw data. For those of who have done Ancestry.com but did not want to spend the money for 23andMe, it is your lucky day!

23andMe TESTING FOR BRCA
the FDA just approved 23andMe screening for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, commonly associated with breast and ovarian cancer? We applaud the fact that access to this information is available at a much more reasonable price. For those who have no interest in learning of your genetic risk to these genes, simply do not opt-in and you will not have to see them in your 23andMe profile.

Have a happy, healthy day! Steve and Bonnie
 
More Meds Equals Worse Health
Bonnie and Steve: A new study of 30 countries over 27 years found that medical expansion has improved overall health, with one major exception.

Researchers found that increased spending on health care and increases in specialized care were both associated with longer life expectancy and less mortality in the countries studied.

But pharmaceutical industry expansion was linked to negative health effects.

This study isn't the first to suggest prescription drugs can pose a health risk. But it is the first to find that the growth of the pharmaceutical industry itself may be associated with worse rather than better health.

The findings were published in the March issue of Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

In the United States, health care expenditures as a percentage of the gross domestic product increased from 5.1 percent in 1960 to 17.1 percent in 2014, which was the largest of the 30 countries evaluated. A large percentage of that jump was pharmaceutical expansion.

Two measures of expansion in the pharmaceutical industry, increased sales and more money spent on research and development, were linked to lower life expectancy among women aged 65 and older, and with increased mortality rates.

The authors could not explain why expansion in the pharmaceutical industry is leading to negative population health effects. However, they "suggested" toxic side effects of drugs, doctors' prescribing practices, patients' misuse of prescription drugs, reasons related to pharmaceutical industry's marketing strategies, or some combination of these factors were at play. Bingo!
