ENCORE: Sexism In Medicine, Part 1
December 30, 2021
In "Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick," feminist journalist Maya Dusenbery looks at the roots of sexism in medicine. Why are women’s health complaints often dismissed? How has Freudian psychology with its notions of “hysteria” and “conversion disorders” undermined the legitimacy of women’s complaints? Women are disproportionately affected by pain syndromes like fibromyalgia, incapacitating menstrual cramps, and migraines and IBS; they are also far more likely to suffer from autoimmune disorders; they are often under-treated for heart problems which are erroneously thought to be predominantly male. Why is research lagging in these areas that so disproportionately affect women? Does greater inclusion of women in the ranks of health professionals promise more female-centric care? Or do institutional barriers within a paternalistic system limit progress? How can women surmount obstacles to equitable care? Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: A Breakthrough for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Part 1
December 28, 2021
A new breakthrough botanical treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. Board-certified gastroenterologist Dr. Kenneth Brown is developer of Atrantil, a natural treatment for IBS. He explains how small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) contributes to gas, bloating, cramps, urgency and constipation. Conventional treatment of SIBO involves use of the antibiotic Xifaxin, which is expensive and doesn’t usually deliver lasting relief. Years of research led Dr. Brown to discovery of an herbal combo which offers a more economical, thorough solution. Clinical testing has shown Atrantil to be effective. What ingredients make Atrantil unique among GI supplements? How should Atrantil be taken? Can it result in “die-off” symptoms? How is SIBO diagnosed? What role for probiotics? For diet? For agents that promote GI motility? Does SIBO cause mood symptoms like anxiety, depression, or “brain fog”? Click HERE for part 2.
