Kaiser Permanente Leads Insurers in Addressing Climate Change: Report

Kaiser Permanente has taken the lead among health insurers in addressing climate change, according to a new report from the Ceres, a Boston-based non-profit that promotes eco-minded business practices.

In its report, Ceres ranked 184 insurance companies for their climate risk disclosure and climate risk management. Out of those insurance companies surveyed, Kaiser Permanente was the only health insurance company to earn a spot in the reports top 10. Only one health insurer, Kaiser Permanente, has a strong climate position, the report states.

As part of its ongoing commitment to improve the health of the communities it serves, Kaiser Permanente rolled out an aggressive strategy last year to reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2020, compared to its 2008 levels. The strategy includes plans to expand upon the organizations current on-site solar and fuel cell energy initiatives while also targeting energy conservation measures.

If greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, climate change will cause health effects that will directly impact Kaiser Permanentes ability to fulfill its promise of quality, affordable care, said Kathy Gerwig, Kaiser Permanentes vice president for Employee Safety, Health and Wellness and environmental stewardship officer. Its clear we need to be prepared because global climate instability will increase the demand for health care.

The Ceres report stresses that few health insurers are currently focused on climate change. Despite predictions of more pronounced heat waves, expansion of insect-borne disease and poorer air and water quality, few health companies describe climate change as a factor relevant to their risk assessment, the report states.

In response to the potential threats from climate change, Kaiser Permanente has adopted a climate-change strategy that features five broad principles: to understand climate change; assess and avoid climate-related impacts; commit to continuous improvement; support industry standards; and inform public policies.

By reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and trimming overall energy consumption, Kaiser Permanente expects to minimize its greenhouse gas emissions, which are known contributors to climate change and the rise of pollution and disease.

The report comes as weather-related disasters cost an estimated $100 billion in damages last year. The U.S. governments latest National Climate Assessment says climate change increases the risks and severity of heat waves, downpours, droughts and wildfires, as well as the intensity of hurricanes.

The Ceres reports findings are based on responses by insurers doing at least $300 million worth of business in California, New York and Washington states that mandate they participate in a survey to disclose their plans. Ceres evaluated the companies for how seriously they study climate-related risks and take steps to reduce them, such as lowering their own and their clients energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

The report recommends that insurance companies:

Treat climate change as a corporate-wide strategic issue, affecting all functions, at all levels, and formalize this in a public corporate policy statement.
Assess how a warming climate will alter extreme weather events, disease vectors, political risk and infrastructure resilience, and implement strategies to adapt their underwriting and investment practices accordingly.
Develop catastrophic models that anticipate the probable effects of climate change on extreme weather events.
Advocate for public policies that will help reduce carbon emissions and maintain an economy that is resilient to climate risk.

FinancesOnline.com Releases Infographic on the Health Insurance Status of African Americans

From statistics provided by the National Health Interview Survey and the US Census Bureau, FinanceOnline.com journalists created an alarming Uninsured and Unhealthy: The Health Insurance Woes of African Americans infographic in which they conclude that, although the current health insurance status of African Americans is not the worst countrywide, its not the best either.

• There is an increase in the number of people who cannot afford medical coverage
• The percentage of African Americans expected to live in good health is way below white Americans and even Hispanics
• There are more uninsured African Americans than non-Hispanic Whites, although their health insurance situation is much better than Hispanics.
• More elderly African Americans will require care
• Post-recession, the number of uninsured African Americans classified as poor spiked sharply
• Geographically, the areas most heavily populated by this sector also have the highest concentration of uninsured African Americans

In his 2013 state-of-the-union address delivered on February 12, President Obama issued strong statements on the issue. Yes, the biggest driver of our long-term debt is the rising cost of health care for an aging population We wont grow the middle class simply by shifting the cost of health care or college onto families that are already struggling, or by forcing communities to lay off more teachers, cops, and firefighters.

On the surface, everything looks on the up-and-up for ethnic minorities when the Affordable Care Acts policies come into full effect. There will be lower costs and greater choices for quality health care to control chronic diseases, avail of preventive health care, have access to primary care, and bridge the health disparities plaguing African Americans.

For now, however, things are as the Uninsured and Unhealthy: The Health Insurance Woes of African Americans infographic from FinancesOnline.com shows. Not bad, but not good either.

Calcium and Vitamin D Not Always the Answer

Calcium and Vitamin D are critical for healthy bones, and medical experts agree that you should get as much of these nutrients as possible from a good diet. Unfortunately, for most people diet alone is not enough, and they turn to vitamin supplements as a recourse. But the recommendations issued this week from the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force call into question the value of calcium and Vitamin D supplementation. Echoing the advisory board, C.W. Randolph, Jr., M.D. and his medical team agree modest calcium and Vitamin D supplementation alone is not enough to prevent bone loss or rebuild bone. The clinicians at Dr. Randolph's Ageless and Wellness Medical Center promote a more comprehensive approach that has been clinically proven to successfully increase bone density in patients with bone loss.

Internationally recognized as an expert in optimal aging medicine, Dr. Randolph emphasizes the importance of addressing bone health holistically. "When it comes to bone health, there is no magic bullet.'" said Randolph, "As the advisory board concluded, taking a few pills a day is not always enough, so it is vital to address lifestyle issues such as diet and exercise because supplements are never a substitute for a healthy lifestyle."

Dr. Randolph and his team recommend patients do weight-bearing exercises such as tai chi or yoga, avoid tobacco and alcohol use, and eat plenty of calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, almonds, and broccoli. They also recommend a diet rich in good sources of Vitamin D, which the body needs in order to absorb calcium, found in fish, egg yolks, fortified milk, and sunshine. Nevertheless, it is often not possible to get an adequate dietary intake of the essential nutrients to support long-term bone health.

"Prescription medications are one option for treating loss of bone density," said Randolph, "but what many people do not know is that the most popular class of prescription medications used to treat osteoporosis, bisphosphonates, focus on limiting additional bone loss, rather than actually building more bone, in aging men and women. This class of drugs is also associated with potentially serious side effects, including heart arrhythmia."

Lori Ann Leaseburge, M.D. is another physician practicing in Dr. Randolph's Ageless and Wellness Medical Center. Drawing on her background as a registered dietician at Duke University Medical Center prior to attending medical school, Dr. Leaseburge addresses the controversy over the value of nutritional supplementation for bone health.

"I prefer to stay away from the prescription drugs when possible. Exercise and a healthy diet are non-negotiable but often are not enough, particularly for patients at risk of osteopenia (thinning of the bones) and osteoporosis (bone loss)," said Leaseburge. "Women are far more likely to develop osteopenia and osteoporosis than men. One reason is because loss of bone mass speeds up as hormonal changes take place in the decades leading up to and after menopause. At-risk women usually benefit from nutritional supplementation but calcium and vitamin D alone are usually not sufficient for measurable impact."

Dr. Leaseburge recommends a more comprehensive multi-mineral nutritional supplementation regimen (vitamins D and K, strontium, magnesium, calcium and a multi-vitamin) shown to prevent bone loss and stimulate bone growth while, also, reducing underlying risk factors associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. She says that repeat bone density scans provide clinical evidence that this more multi-spectrum approach has a more significant impact.

Both Drs. Randolph and Leaseburge agree that nutritional supplementation should not be hit or miss. They recommend women concerned about long-term bone health should work with their physicians, or medical professionals, to develop a more comprehensive strategy. Bone density scans can first determine the level of risk, says Randolph, then the physician and patient can work together to devise a bone health action plan always emphasizing diet and exercise and when appropriate, a comprehensive nutritional supplementation regimen which has been clinically shown to help improve bone density.

About C.W. Randolph, Jr., M.D.: Dr. Randolph is an internationally recognized expert in the field of bioidentical hormone replacement and anti-aging medicine. He is board certified by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Board of Holistic Medicine. He is also a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Dr. Randolph's distinctive expertise derives from his training as a licensed compounding pharmacist specializing in pharmacognosy (plant-based medicines), combined with decades of experience as a trail-blazing physician. He coauthored three highly-acclaimed books: From Hormone Hell to Hormone Well (winner of the 2010 Bronze National Consumer Health Information Award), From Belly Fat to Belly Flat (now published in four languages), and In the Mood Again (Simon & Schuster, 2010).

About Lori Ann Leaseburge, M.D.: Dr. Leaseburge is widely recognized as a clinical expert in both women's health and the science of optimal aging. She is board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She is a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the Institute for Functional Medicine and is an Advanced Fellow of the American Academy of Anti- Aging Medicine. Dr. Leaseburge's research has been published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Prior to medical school, she worked as a Registered Dietician at Duke University Medical Center. Today Dr. Leaseburge practices at the Ageless and Wellness Medical Center with a strong clinical interest in nutrition and holistic health.

About Dr. Randolph's Ageless & Wellness Medical Center: Dr. Randolph's medical practice, located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, is nationally recognized as a Center of Excellence in the field of natural, bioidentical hormone replacement therapies (BHRT). The Ageless & Wellness Medical Center offers age management medicine for women and men, as well as comprehensive gynecological treatments and procedures for women.

Rosalind Tans The Truth about Air Electricity and Health Helps Readers Breathe Easier

Your next breath is positively counting on it: The healing properties of negative ions are all around us, but modern pollution has tipped the balance of nature, threatening our health as well as understanding of what it truly means to breathe fresh air.

Maternal Exposure to Outdoor Air Pollution Associated with Low Birth Weights Worldwide

Mothers who are exposed to particulate air pollution of the type emitted by vehicles, urban heating and coal power plants are significantly more likely to bear children of low birth weight, according to an international study led by co-principal investigator Tracey J. Woodruff, PhD, MPH, professor of obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive sciences at UC San Francisco along with Jennifer Parker, PhD, of the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The study, the largest of its kind ever performed, analyzed data collected from more than three million births in nine nations at 14 sites in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

The researchers found that at sites worldwide, the higher the pollution rate, the greater the rate of low birth weight.

Low birth weight (a weight below 2500 grams or 5.5 pounds) is associated with serious health consequences, including increased risk of postnatal morbidity and mortality and chronic health problems in later life, noted lead author Payam Dadvand, MD, PhD, of the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) in Barcelona, Spain.

In the study, published on February 6th, 2013 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, the team assessed data collected from research centers in the International Collaboration on Air Pollution and Pregnancy Outcomes, an international research collaborative established in 2007 to study the effects of pollution on pregnancy outcomes. Most of the data assessed was collected during the mid-1990s to the late 2000s, and in some cases, earlier.

Whats significant is that these are air pollution levels to which practically everyone in the world is commonly exposed, said Woodruff. These microscopic particles, which are smaller than the width of a human hair, are in the air that we all breathe.

Woodruff noted that nations with tighter regulations on particulate air pollution have lower levels of these air pollutants. In the United States, we have shown over the last several decades that the benefits to health and wellbeing from reducing air pollution are far greater than the costs, said Woodruff. This is a lesson that all nations can learn from.

Particulate air pollution is measured in size (microns) and weight (micrograms per cubic meter). In the United States, federal regulations require that the yearly average concentration in the air to be no more than 12 g/m3 of particles measuring less than 2.5 microns. In the European Union, the limit is 25 g/m3, and regulatory agencies there are currently debating whether to lower it.

This study comes at the right time to bring the issue to the attention of policy makers, said study co-author Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, PhD, of CREAL.

Nieuwenhuijsen observed that particulate air pollution in Beijing, China has recently been measured higher than 700 g/m3.

From the perspective of world health, levels like this are obviously completely unsustainable, he said.

Whether these pregnancy exposures can have effects later in life, currently is under investigation through an epidemiological follow-up of some of the children included in these studies.

Study Demonstrates Health Benefits of Coming Out of the Closet

Lesbians, gays and bisexuals (LGBs) who are out to others have lower stress hormone levels and fewer symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout, according to researchers at the Centre for Studies on Human Stress (CSHS) at Louis H. Lafontaine Hospital, affiliated with the University of Montreal. Cortisol is a stress hormone in our body. When chronically strained, cortisol contributes to the wear and tear' exerted on multiple biological systems. Taken together, this strain is called allostatic load. Our goals were to determine if the mental and physical health of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals differs from heterosexuals and, if so, whether being out of the closet makes a difference. We used measures of psychiatric symptoms, cortisol levels throughout the day, and a battery of over twenty biological markers to assess allostatic load, explained lead author Robert-Paul Juster. Contrary to our expectations, gay and bisexual men had lower depressive symptoms and allostatic load levels than heterosexual men. Lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals who were out to family and friends had lower levels of psychiatric symptoms and lower morning cortisol levels than those who were still in the closet.

Montrealers of diverse sexual orientations were invited to the laboratory of Dr. Sonia Lupien, Director of the CSHS. Lupiens team recruited eighty-seven men and women, all of whom were around twenty-five years of age. Over the course of several visits, the researchers collected psychological questionnaires, asked participants to provide saliva samples to measure cortisol over two days, and calculated allostatic load indices using results from blood, saliva, and urine samples. Chronic stress and misbalanced cortisol levels can exert a kind of domino effect on connected biological systems, Lupien said. By looking at biomarkers like insulin, sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, adrenalin, and inflammation together, an allostatic load index can be constructed and then used to detect health problems before they occur.

Stigma-related stress might force LGBs to develop coping strategies that make them more effective at managing future stressors. Coming out of the closet is a major milestone in lives of LGBs that has not been studied extensively using interdisciplinary approaches that assess stress biomarkers said co-author Dr. Nathan Grant Smith. These exciting findings underline the role self-acceptance and disclosure has on the positive health and wellbeing of LGBs. In turn, this has important implications for ongoing political debates. Coming out might only be beneficial for health when there are tolerant social policies that facilitate the disclosure process said Juster. Societal intolerance during the disclosure process impairs ones self-acceptance that generates increased distress and contributes to mental and physical health problems.

As the participants of this study enjoy progressive Canadian rights, they may be inherently healthier and hardier, Juster said. Coming out is no longer a matter of popular debate but a matter of public health. Internationally, societies must endeavour to facilitate this self-acceptance by promoting tolerance, progressing policy, and dispelling stigma for all minorities.

The research was published in Psychosomatic Medicine on January 29, 2013. The University of Montreal is officially known as Universit de Montral.

Incurable Cancer: New Book "I Am Living to Tell" Explains How One Woman Beat It and Remains Cancer-Free Seven Years Later

Forty-two year old Laurie Beck enjoyed a busy life as the successful owner of a Pilates studio, a wife, and mother, but then things took a dramatic turn -- she learned that she had lymphoma and an incurable form of cancer. Today however, nearly seven years after her diagnosis, repeated tests show no signs of cancer in Becks body.

How did Beck beat cancer? In her inspirational new memoir, I Am Living to Tell, Beck describes her healing journey, which began with her decision not to pursue chemo right away and to practice watchful waiting instead, something her oncologist at Bostons Dana-Farber Cancer Institute recommended as long as she felt well. Beck recounts her efforts to heal herself by developing a healthier mind, body and spirit using a combination of Western and Eastern medicine and alternative healing modalities. For example, Beck:

• Let go of the unhealthy feelings of resentment, anger and abandonment she had been harboring for decades toward her mother, grandmother and ex and learned to forgive.

• Focused all of her intentions on getting well using meditation, prayer and, prayed, and positive visualization.
• Surrounded herself with love.
• Began to pay close attention to what she put in her body; developed a healthier approach toward exercise; and pursued healing forms of exercise, like Qigong.

Bottom-line, Beck learned what she had done in her pre-cancer life to create her bad health. Then, she healed herself by making peace with her past, doing everything she could to rid her body of chronic stress, learning to love herself, and believing in her own power.

Anyone struggling with a difficult health challenge will draw strength and inspiration from Becks healing journey and the lessons she learned about herself and life along the way. To help them pursue their own journeys toward better health, Beck ends her book with a chapter that discusses tips and tools that can help them heal their minds, bodies and spirits.

I Am Living to Tell by Laurie J. Beck, ISBN-10:1475269013, $14.95, can be purchased in soft cover at http://www.lauriebeck.com, at Amazon.com and at other online bookstores.

New Research Strengthens Connection between Oral and Overall Health, Says The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health

The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH) responds to recent research connecting oral inflammation and erectile dysfunction by encouraging further on-going research and stressing the importance of the oral-systemic health connection.

With each new study connecting oral inflammation with a host of life-threatening and life-altering diseases, we continue to see that oral-systemic health is a vital key to keeping our patients healthy and well, says Dr. Dan Sindelar, president of AAOSH. It is of great importance that these studies continue to find the latest connections between oral health and some of the most prevalent conditions that Americans face today.

The recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that men with severe periodontal disease were more than three times more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction that the men with healthy gums were. Head researchers concluded that periodontal disease should be considered a causative clinical condition of erectile dysfunction.

In addition, leading research continues to find connections between oral inflammation and degenerative brain conditions like Alzheimers disease and dementia as well as conditions like heart disease, strokes and diabetes.

This research adds to the mountain of evidence that oral inflammation doesnt just affect a patients mouth, but has a profound effect on his or her entire body, says Dr. Sindelar. The results of these studies are clear: We as dental professionals must continue to stay at the forefront of oral systemic health in order to optimize our patients overall health.

About AAOSH
The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health is an organization of health care leaders and health professionals dedicated to the relationship of oral health and whole body health. AAOSH membership includes and is open to health professionals from many allied health disciplines, corporate supporters and sponsors, health educators, and healthcare leaders. Understanding the emerging science-driven relationships between the mouth and the body, AAOSH promotes building closer ties between allied health professionals and improving interdisciplinary communication and professional referral relationships.
