Hey, you wonderful and amazing listeners to The Armor Men's Health Show! Thanks for tuning in again and sharing this with your friends! This round, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee spend time again with one of their favorite guests, Dr. Declan Fleming! They all start off in segment one discussing how cancer diagnoses are changing and how doctors really do NOT want patients to become sicker and sicker which is contrary to some people's beliefs. Between 1930 and 2006, the cancer rates increased annually but at around 2006, they started to flatten out. Since then, most of the cancer rates have been going down except for five of them - thyroid cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, stomach cancer, liver cancer and skin cancer. One of those is due to an unintended consequence from using over-the-counter medicines for GERD! Be careful when taking these medications for more than six weeks: Prilosec, Pepcid, Tagamet, Protonix, Nexium. If you need these medications for more than several weeks, please see a physician because they can be dangerous which could lead to the esophageal issues and even cancer. Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming also talk about fatty liver disease and the inherent dangers with the substances of the liver. In a nutshell, fat causes inflammation which is the enemy to the body so let's get rid of it! In the second segment, Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming discuss something new in medicine called a "liquid biopsy" which Dr. Fleming explains in great detail about finding cancer and how to treat it better and better with the newest technology. Fascinating! Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming also refer to possible medical "dumpster fires" (yes, that's a medical phrase) and how Dr. Fleming is the appropriate surgeon to fix a lot of them over other types of surgeons. The doctors also talk about the different types of cancers and why more aggressive treatments are needed for some but not necessarily others. Dr. Fleming is a faculty member at UT Dell Medical School and is an Associate Professor there as well.
