Black Cohosh has not been tested for hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms) in men, but it has been tested in a randomized clinical trial in women. "Black cohosh used in isolation, or as part of a multibotanical regimen, shows little potential as an important therapy for relief of vasomotor symptoms."

Perhaps what he is seeing in his practice is a placebo effect because he is communicating his expectations to his patients.

He is also incorrect that supplementing Vitamin D is beneficial. At 4000 IU per day (the dose he recommends), bone mineral density (BMD) decreased by 2.4%. The higher the dose, the more BMD decreased. Worse, calcium became too high in the blood and the urine with increasing Vitamin D dose.

I very much agree with the importance of both cardiovascular and weight-bearing exercise.

Perhaps you may wish to email him those links and ask him if he wants to retract his statements based on them.

TA, I so appreciate the corrections you make to erroneous information that is presented as fact. It is a great service.

Even doctors at top institutions are not immune. Tomorrow, Darryl and I will be interviewing a doctor at Huntsman who found that patients are acting on erroneous info from the Internet. I plan to ask him about doctors too.

Thank you Darryl for sharing this video with us. I feel that Dr Geo provides the missing link that I was searching for. I appreciate his multi-faceted approach to creating what he calls an environment that is hostile to cancer proliferation.
