For too long, medical journals have controlled and manipulated the release of scientific information to enhance profits and prestige.

Journals such as JAMA, Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine, are multimillion-dollar businesses, thanks to the U.S. government, scientists around the globe and plentiful drug advertisements.

The federal government funds the great proportion of medical research in hopes of improving our health. Once a study has been completed, researchers publish results in medical journals for two reasons. First, they believe their research is important and they wish to have others read and know about it. Second, publication in medical journals is necessary for the researcher to get promoted.

Medical journals do not pay authors for papers the way other magazines do. They get manuscripts for free. The journal then decides if the paper appears to meet criteria for publication and, if so, they send the paper to other scientists for what is called peer review.

If the paper is evaluated by fellow researchers as well done and meets journal standards, it is accepted and the journal publishes the report in a paper magazine, online, or both.

To summarize, the journals get the papers for free, asks other scientists to review the papers for free, and publish a magazine filled with federally funded research that nets the journal millions of dollars through subscriptions and the sales of advertisements.

It gets worse.

Let's say I want my medical students to read a research paper in my class that I wrote and published in a medical journal. I can't use the paper unless I pay the journal to use the article I wrote, which was funded through your tax dollars.

California schools pay hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to subscribe to scientific journals that are jam-packed with research that has been funded by the state and federal governments and was conducted by our own researchers at California's colleges and universities.

Shouldn't the people who funded the research – taxpayers – have free access to the knowledge produced?

Medical journals also use draconian news embargoes that forbid health reporters from reporting on research in their journal until some arbitrary time and day that the journals select.

I am not sure how they got all this power and control, but it needs to change.

Journals certainly have a great business model – they get product for free, have inspectors improve the product for free, then sell it for outrageous prices to a public that needs to read the research.

Given that magazine production costs have fallen, opportunities exist to provide peer-reviewed research to the public online for free and still allow the journals to sell their product with added value.

Last month, two members of the House – Darrell Issa, R-Vista, and Carolyn B. Maloney, D-New York – introduced a bill called the Research Works Act. To maintain journal profits, the bill turns back the federal push to promote open access and research sharing. The bill forbids federal taxpayer-funded research from being required to be free to the public.

It's no surprise the bill is sponsored by medical publishers who fear Internet access and want to control information for profit. The bill is strongly opposed by researchers, scholars and librarians across the nation.

Given the power and prestige of California's scientific community, it is poised to lead the way to major change. Our university and college scientists can, and should, refuse to submit research articles, and they should refuse to review research articles from journals that don't allow free and open public access.

Integrative Approaches to Healing Explored at Professional Workshop Led by The Ranch’s Renowned Eating Disorder Expert

John Weeks: Help Wanted! IHPC Stakeholder Report Details Integrative Medicine Opportunities in the Affordable Care Act

By Drs. Kay Judge and Maxine Barish-Wreden  Print Article

(MCT)—The winter season is
upon us, with a lack of daylight hours, cloudy days and
temperamental weather. And so we pack on the winter pounds, get
the winter blues, and go into relative metabolic hibernation
until spring arrives. But what if we could circumvent some of
this seasonal downturn in our health?

Paying attention to our Vitamin D intake may be a way to
improve our health, and to improve a host of medical
conditions. Research has found that the following medical
conditions may be linked to Vitamin D levels:

Cancer. Improving calcium and vitamin D
nutritional status substantially reduces all-cancer risk in
postmenopausal women. This was suggested from a study in 2007
of more than 1,100 women in Nebraska, in which treatment with
Vitamin D and blood levels of Vitamin D were found to be both
linked to a reduced incidence of all cancers.

Multiple Sclerosis. A recent study performed
by the U.S. military looked at more than 250 cases of multiple
sclerosis, and found that those who had higher levels of
Vitamin D in their bloodstream were at lower risk of developing
MS.

Insulin-dependant diabetes. A study of
children born in Finland in 1966 and followed for 30 years
showed that those who had supplemental Vitamin D in their first
year had a significantly lower risk of developing
insulin-dependant diabetes, and those who had rickets (severe
vitamin D deficiency) had a much higher risk of developing
insulin dependent diabetes later in life.

Rheumatoid arthritis. Postmenopausal women
with the highest total vitamin D intakes were at significantly
lower risk of developing RA after 11 years of follow-up than
those with the lowest intakes.

Osteoporosis and Fractures. Many studies
suggest that vitamin D3 supplements of at least 800 IU/day may
be helpful in reducing bone loss and fracture rates in the
elderly.

Cognitive functioning. Vitamin D deficiency
has been linked to decreased cognitive performance in older
adults.

Depression. Low vitamin D levels have been
linked to low mood and depression, with one study showing blood
Vitamin D levels 14 percent lower in people with major and
minor depression as compared to non-depressed patients.

Despite these numerous health benefits, surprisingly, more than
half of all adults and children are deficient in Vitamin D,
according to a 2008 report in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition.

So what should you do in the winter to ensure that you are
getting enough Vitamin D to offset the lack of vitamin D from
sunlight exposure?

You could try to obtain Vitamin D naturally through a few
foods, including some fatty fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines),
fish liver oils and eggs from hens that have been fed vitamin
D. You also can take Vitamin D in the form of a supplement.

In 2010, the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the Institute of
Medicine set a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) based on the
amount of vitamin D needed for bone health. It is recommended
that most adults take 600 IU of Vitamin D, with those over 71
recommended to take 800 IU of Vitamin D in supplementation.

Those most at risk for low Vitamin D levels include people who
are older, have diabetes or kidney disease, stay indoors, are
obese or have darker skin.

Drs. Kay Judge and Maxine Barish-Wreden are medical
directors of Sutter Downtown Integrative Medicine program.

New Approach To Treating Children At Jefferson

Sigmoidoscopy screening for colon cancer is recommended every five years for people over 50, however a new study found that screening that often may be unnecessary.

Sigmoidoscopy screening allows a doctor to identify polyps, or small growths, in the colon that could turn into cancer. Other colon cancer screening methods include fecal occult blood testing, which identifies blood in the stool, and colonoscopy, which examines the entire colon (sigmoidoscopy only examines the lower part).

While the American Cancer Society recommends that adults over 50 receive sigmoidoscopy screening every five years and a fecal occult blood test annually, some say this may be overly aggressive.

According to experts, it could take up to 15 years for polyps to develop into cancer and it may be that a one-time sigmoidoscopy screening is enough for those at average-risk. Read more…

Alternatives for children

Integrative
medicine, the field of medicine which combines the use
of conventional and complementary techniques in reaching
health and wellness goals, is now available for pediatric patients
through the Integrative Pediatrics program at the
Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine. Under the
guidance of a board-certified pediatrician, the program combines the
best evidence-based conventional medicine with a variety
of proven lifestyle therapies and complementary techniques for
pediatric patients from birth through 21 years.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) January 29, 2012

Integrative medicine, the field of medicine which combines
the use of conventional and complementary techniques in reaching
health and wellness goals, is now available for pediatric
patients through the Integrative Pediatrics program at the
Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine. Under the
guidance of a board-certified pediatrician, the program combines
the best evidence-based conventional medicine with a variety of
proven lifestyle therapies and complementary techniques for
pediatric patients from birth through 21 years.

Integrative Pediatrics program director and board-certified
pediatrician, Christina DiNicola, MD, FAAP, offers conventional
pediatric medicine in addition to evidence-based complementary
therapies to facilitate the natural healing process in
children and teens.

“Integrative medicine’s natural and comprehensive approach can
help young people feel better, perform better and thrive at
their fullest potential. An integrative approach acts to enhance
conventional pediatric care,” says DiNicola.

Integrative medicine “integrates” conventional medicine with
those complementary therapies for which there is high-quality
scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness. Integrative
medicine differs from alternative medicine in that alternative
medicine refers to therapies that are typically excluded by and
used in place of conventional medicine. The distinction between
the two is critical to understanding the philosophy and
approach of integrative medicine.

Dr. DiNicola works in concert with each child’s existing
pediatrician to create an integrative health plan for each
child or teen, and offers pediatric integrative medicine
consults to parents interested in healing their children
through both conventional and complementary therapies.

The Integrative Pediatrics program treats a wide range of
medical conditions, including ADD/ADHD, allergies, asthma,
behavioral and developmental concerns, digestive disturbances,
cancer care support, emotional health, eating problems, chronic
headache, sleep problems, weight management and more. Using a
whole-child approach, Dr. DiNicola also works with families to
optimize overall health for children and teens and minimize the
risk factors for future health problems. The program also
offers comprehensive consultations to expectant parents.

“We created this program to address the unique issues that most
affect children and young adults,” says Daniel Monti, MD,
medical and executive director of the Jefferson-Myrna Brind
Center of Integrative Medicine and a leader in complementary
and alternative
medicine (CAM) research and treatment.

“As with all of our programs, it is led by a board-certified
medical expert who also possesses intense training in the use
and application of CAM therapies,” adds Monti.

As a pediatrician in private practice, DiNicola found herself
becoming more curious about CAM therapies, partially brought on
by her patients. “Families were growing more curious about
alternative therapies and their use as a complement to
traditional medical care,” she says.

A rigorous two-year Fellowship in Integrative Medicine
followed. DiNicola studied as a Bravewell Scholar at the
University of Arizona College of Medicine in the Arizona Center
of Integrative Medicine under the direction of noted
integrative medicine advocate, Andrew Weil, MD. The prestigious
program is operated through the Bravewell Collaborative, a
consortium of the most notable academic centers of integrative
medicine, Jefferson among them.

Dr. DiNicola holds an undergraduate degree from Stanford
University. She received her medical degree from University of
Medicine and Dentistry-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and
completed her internship and residency at The Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia. She is board-certified in pediatrics
and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Her
integrative approach considers each child or teen’s physical
health history, social and family dynamics, lifestyle,
academics, personal strengths and spiritual and emotional
health in developing a personalized, integrative prescription
for long-term wellness.

Editor’s Note: To make an appointment with Dr. DiNicola, please
