Scandals And Screwups In The Drugstore - Doctors look to guidelines from highly regarded thought leaders to figure out how to treat common problems like high cholesterol or prostate cancer. But how objective are these publications?

Australian naturopath Russell Setright describes why vitamin D levels are so often low, how to assess them and what to do about deficiency.

Is Your Water Safe Enough to Drink? - How safe is our drinking water? Where does it come from? Over the centuries, people have had to go to great lengths to find clean water.Nowadays, we rarely pay much attention to the infrastructure of water, but perhaps we should. In some places, wells offer a terrible choice between a long walk or slow poisoning. And in this country, our water supply infrastructure has been out of sight, out of mind for a very long time.

Thyroid Controversies - Thyroid dysfunction is extremely common, and the symptoms make a person miserable. They are often non-specific, however, and it sometimes takes a while for the big picture of thyroid disease to emerge from the details of fatigue, dry skin, constipation, heavy menstrual periods, hair loss and so forth.
The diagnosis and treatment of underactive thyroid have been changing. We get both conventional and alternative perspectives from leaders in the field.

The People’s Pharmacy show on 08/17/2013 - Finding the Root Causes of Illness: Americans take a lot of medications to manage symptoms.

The People’s Pharmacy show on 08/10/2013 - How do hospitals determine what to charge for their services? Steven Brill, author of a stunning expose in Time magazine called "Bitter Pill," suggests there is very little rhyme or reason beyond what the market will bear. Under the current system, those who are least able to pay . . . the uninsured . . . end up being charged the most.
Will that picture change with the implementation of the Accountable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare? Jonathan Oberlander, one of the country's leading experts on Medicare, tells us how Obamacare is likely to affect the prices we pay for health care in the future.
