Two Popular Health Tests With Mammoth Risks from Dr. Mercola

From Dr. Mercola archives  | Nov 25, 2012

Do these two medical procedure improve health.  Studies do not seem to indicate so according to the research finding of Alan Cassels Seeking Sickness, the Misguided Hunt for Diseases.

These two tests are the:   1.  Annual screening tests for PSA (for prostate cancer in males) and mammograms and 2.  General Health tests  For the latter, although the number of tests/diagnoses increased, there was no overall effect on morbidity or mortality.

The key for good health is prevention, rather than cures or diagnosis. Dr. Mercola and Alan maintain.
