Prostate Cancer Device Market set to Triple in Asia and Latin America
(ContentDesk) January 25, 2006 - The next five years will herald massive growth for minimally invasive prostate cancer devices in several emerging markets, with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology leading the way.
By 2010, the Asian and Latin American markets for brachytherapy seeds, cryoablation, and HIFU devices will gross over $25 million in revenuemore than 3 times the market value in 2005.
According to a recent report by Millennium Research Group, prostate cancer rates are rising sharply due to the aging population and changing lifestyles.
In Asia, especially, a spike in prostate cancer cases is linked to a move away from traditional diets toward more Western fare.
As rates of prostate cancer rise, so too will the interest in minimally invasive treatments.
Much, if not most, of the growth in this sector will take place in rapidly industrializing countries in the Far East and Latin America.
Although it has yet to receive approval for commercial use in the US, HIFU treatment for prostate cancer is already tapping into a rapidly growing market in China and Mexico.
The Chinese government is heavily funding research and installation of this up-and-coming technology, and a new generation of Chinese urologists is being trained to perform these procedures.
In Mexico, the growth of HIFU has been overwhelming, spurred by a public that is increasingly educated about options other than radical prostatectomy and a willingness to explore new treatments.
Meanwhile, cryoablation will also enjoy spectacular growth rates; however, this will not be attributed to demand for prostate cancer.
Instead this market will be bolstered by its minimally invasive application for renal tumors, which is proving to be a big draw in Asia where kidney cancer rates are the highest in the world.

Startling New Evidence: You Can Slow Aging
Startling New Evidence: You Can Slow the Aging Process, Scientists SayBy David L. KernSix years ago, government scientists announced what may be the most important news of your lifetime. Did you get the memo?
What if you could actually slow your rate of aging, and live healthier longer, simply by eating certain foods? U.S. Government scientists now say it's possible. Floyd P.
Horn, then Administrator of the scientific research arm of the USDA, broke the exciting news in February 1999. "Young and middle-aged people," said Horn, "may be able to reduce risk of diseases of aging -- including senility -- simply by adding high-ORAC foods to their diets."I don't know about you, but I find that statement tremendously exciting: "simply by adding high-ORAC foods."Buddy, Can You Spare Some ORAC?

Weight Loss Diet Pills
Diet pills are a very alluring option for someone who has many failed diets under their belt. Moreover, commercials promoting weight loss pills always promise fast and easy weight loss. It is important to know that many diet pills and weight loss aids are counterfeit. Americans spend an obscene amount of money on weight loss products, especially weight loss pills. “According to Fat -- Exploding the myths,” by Lisa Colles, Americans reportedly spend between $30 and 50 billion annually on diets, weight loss programs and products.
A whopping $6 billion is spent on weight loss pills and products that are not genuine.
There are many different types of diet pills that can be broadly classified into the following types:
Prescription diet pills: These pills are primarily created for those suffering from debilitating obesity. Weight loss pills are not a mock solution for the problem, nor are they proposed as replacement for the conventional weight loss...

How Exactly Does Fiber Help Your Health??
Copyright 2006 Adam Kessler
When you go to the doctor does he/she ask you about how much fiber you are getting?
It seems that fiber is being discussed as a possible solution to everything, including the ozone layer.
Okay, maybe not the ozone problem, but it is looking like if you get enough fiber in your diet, your chances reduce dramatically of acquiring many diseases you could be susceptible to as you get older.
What exactly does fiber help to prevent?
Studies have shown that a diet with plenty of fiber in it can reduce the chances of heart disease (by cutting cholesterol), diabetes (by slowing the release of sugars from foods into the blood), diverticulosis, and other diseases.
The thought that it helps prevent cancer are conflicting, but by eating the foods you need to acquire fiber (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) you also get a lot of vitamins and minerals that are very beneficial to the body.
Bonus, baby!!!
