IMPLANT ALERT After years of controversy over whether silicone breast implants are linked to connective-tissue disorders--the latest consensus is that they aren't--scientists raise a new concern. A 13-year study suggests that women with implants may be three times as likely to die of lung cancer and twice as likely to die of brain cancer as other plastic-surgery patients. Researchers can't explain their findings, but they know that it doesn't make a difference whether the implants are made of silicone or saline...
...grateful for yoga's help through some very tough times in her late 20s.

According to one study completed in 1999 by the National Research Council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, the current maximum arsenic level allowed by law results in a 1-in-1,000 risk to men of developing lung or bladder cancer. Though no recent studies have been conducted on Americans, the evidence from international reports is compelling, and the researchers urged the EPA to reduce the allowable arsenic level “as soon as possible.” The current level of exposure will cause irreparable harm to Americans...

(The advice doesn't apply to individuals over 65 or those with diabetes or chronic heart and lung disease.) Patients shouldn't think they're getting poor treatment if their doctors don't prescribe antibiotics. Stick to over-the-counter products to ease symptoms. And be patient, patient! The bug will eventually go away...
