SPACE PROBE 2012

The search for life inside the rectal vault of man

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ tucked away where the sun don’t shine, and although it often needs medical screening, it doesn’t always get it.

Virtual Robotic Fingers can go where no man has dared to go (outside of west Hollywood anyway)

About 1 in 6 U.S. men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their life. About 6 in 6 men dreaded going to their doctor every year to get their rectum probed. Sad part, in the U.S., about 217,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, and 32,000 die.

Go Deep or Go Home

While most would think that when their annual rectal exam is “normal”  it would be very reassuring, but the DRE (digital rectal exam) is not designed to detect early cancers.  The space probe of the rear-end kind mainly reveals just the size and shape of the prostate gland.  Remember, tumors have to be very advanced before they can be felt, so there is a big push to find better ways to detect and treat prostate cancers and treat them when they are small.

Deliverance

The thought of going for a prostate exam can drive most men to drink.  Dropping their pants and bending over is the last thing most men want to ever do, as it can be embarrassing, and uncomfortable.  Actually, it is a lot like what we see when men come in for blood draws.  They get all worked up ahead of time, and once the blood is taken they say, “wow, that was nothing!”  The reality is that all men must get their prostates checked routinely, and although it is more than nothing, doesn’t cause banjo nightmares throughout the rest of your life.

“Try to get a boner now”

No gain, just pain

So, what is the better way to see if you have prostate cancer?  We have used the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test, which is a blood test to see if there are signs that cells are starting to become malignant.  While it is good www.beacheslab.com, high levels of PSA only sometimes signals prostate cancer.  It can also indicate an infection or an enlarged prostate (BPH), or tiny tumors that may never pose a threat.   Also, if you have had sex in the past 24 – 48 hours that can also raise your levels, so I always warn my guys not to have crazy sex before the blood test day.  Bad thing is, if the PSA is high we often recommend a biopsy, where we cut small pieces out of your prostate and send it to the lab.  Most men who undergo a biopsy for an abnormal PSA test don’t have prostate cancer, so pain, but no gain!

New Test for prostate CA!

Pee PCA3

Science has brought us a new (and expensive) test for prostate cancer (CaP), the urinary PCA3 gene test. Remember, serum PSA levels are not specific for CaP but this new marker has a much greater degree of CaP specificity than PSA testing.  Perhaps we can cut out all that cutting out of prostate biopsies (1 million per year in US). But, the way you have to get the sample…you have to do a Attentive Rectal Exam and then have the patient urinate.  That means you put your finger in as far as possible and you mash down hard on the prostate over and over to get the cells to loosen up to be peed out.

Attentive Rectal Exam = Prostate Milking = Means smashing the ole walnut with the gloved finger!

Rove you Rong Time Sailor

Working girls – should be able to bill Medicare for Happy Rear Endings!

These Asian girls have been doing prostate milking for years, and who knew they could have been screening the Johns for prostate cancer.  Their medical exam (sex massage) begins with a thorough soaping down in a large tub.  After that, there’s a romp on the bed to last about an hour and half and for some they pay for a happy ending which could include prostate massage (milking) with yikes, non-gloved finger(s)!  Some feel that emptying the prostate is therapeutic and reduces the risk of cancer in it’s own right.  The jury is still out on that one.  Price is between 1,000 and 1,600 baht ($32-52.00) plus tips.  Turns out this is the same amount Medicare pays us doctors for doing the DRE!

Aneros Helix Prostate Stimulator $47.38

For those who have to do it outside the doctors office..The prostate dildo,  referred to as the Rain Maker,  can be used to stimulate the prostate gland in men.  Some say the prostate gland could be the ‘male G-spot’ and is stimulated for either medical or sexual purpose, or I guess both.  Some have renamed the sensitive area the “P-spot.”  So, if you wanted, you could do the attentive Aneros Helix, then pee in a cup, and send it to my lab, www.beacheslab.com, and we can find out what it says.  And for those who want to be tested every week – buy a banjo and move to West Virginia.

On a serious note – Prostate Cancer is horrible and can be deadly.

Earl Woods

Tiger Woods’ father was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998 and successfully treated with radiation, but the cancer returned more aggressively in 2004. Mr. Woods died on May 3, 2006 at the age of 74.  Even though Tiger is doing well of late with work, and perhaps with Elin, each day without his papa has got to be a sad one.  Unfortunately, black men have a much higher rate of prostate cancer, so it is important to get routine physicals and labwork, especially if you are undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with testosterones or human growth hormone.  For one of the best centers you may consider www.pbpmed.com. I am a big fan of Tiger’s and hope nothing but the best for him and his family.

Time to Re Glove,

Dr. Darrin Frye

No one could be more unhappy than Lindsay Lohan about the fact that soon there will be no more free drugs at any doctor’s office thanks to President Obama’s “healthcare reform law”.  While touted to bring access and affordability to all – naturally it doesn’t, and while it is now clear to the Democrat Congress and Senate who voted it in without reading the bill – here is another unseen but real consequence of their failures.

Pharmaceutical companies give doctor’s offices free samples to give to patients who can’t afford medication, or need to “try them before they have to buy them.”  And they give us a lot of them!

Pfizer Inc. 101 million samples worth $2.7 billion

Merck & Co. 39 million samples worth about $356 million

Eli Lilly & Co. 33 million worth $67 million

Wyeth, 52 million worth $64 million

Abbott Laboratories 16 million worth $32 million

Excellent right?  Well, our democratic fools in congress still can’t seem to get their heads out of their house seats or their senate seats.  Somehow they interpret the drug sample program as bad, and think doctors are in cahoots with big pharmaceutical companies.  FYI  Pelosi (RIP)….Doctor’s don’t make money off of prescriptions or samples. Harry Reed (Nevada owes the entire USA an apology) and other Democratic idiots think “samples induce prescriptions for more costly brand-name medicines when cheaper generics might be available.”   This administration and democratic controlled congress are typecasts in a “Dumb and Dumber” episode Part 2.  Thank God for elections, and the new Republican replacements headed to Washington next year.

Hidden portions of ObamaCare will require doctors to document every single sample pill, who, where, why, when, how and keep a huge file on all of them, because someone who wrote this into the bill believes Doctors are bad, drug companies are evil, and voters are stupid.

So Doctor’s are calling the Phamaceutical companies are saying, “when this law goes into effect in January, we will no longer be seeing Reps or dispensing samples to patients!”

What, no more little fockers?

Ben Stiller/Robert DeNiro comedy “Little Focker” – Jessica Alba plays a sexy pharmaceutical representative driving men crazy!  What will we do without the drug representatives?

Just look at your pocket – you will see exactly what Obama’s “Change” really means – for that is all you are going to have left after  drug samples have gone away.   America, continue to vote all Democrats and any moderate, spineless Republican congressmen out of office so we can get our country back on track.  Thank you Tea Party for saving our country.

Time to start remodeling my drug sample room at the office- maybe I’ll put in a pain clinic – because ObamaCare created a gaping wound to America, and every American is paying the price for his administration’s “Blame America First Agenda”.

Time to repeal “ObamaCare” (which is a paradox)

Major Frye, tracking the elusive pig that started the flu in Baghdad, Iraq

Soldiers are used to wearing their PPE’s – personal protective equipmentto prevent a bullet or IED  from taking their lives.  Now we Army doctors need to give these same soldiers a “magic bullet” to prevent them from possibly dying in combat from not a sniper, or schrapnel, but a swine flu bug!  Yes, all you out there, not only am I a preventive medicine/anti-aging/ public health specialist on the civilian side, I am a citizen soldier for the US Army Reserve and a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Iraq’s Ministry of Health has announced the first mortality, a 21-year-old woman who was not named, as a result of swine flu in the southern Najaf governorate, Kuna has reported. The number of confirmed swine flue cases in Iraq now stands at 67, 51 of whom belonged to the multi-national forces personnel.  All the 51 U.S. troops diagnosed with the flu have fully recovered, while the 71 suspect cases are in isolation, said Col. Michael D. Eisenhauer, the chief of clinical operations in Iraq.

This little Iraqi girl looks a lot younger than 8, she has had a rough life, but now she has a chance – thanks to President Bush and the US Armed Forces.

There are so many great stories in Iraq, most you will never hear because the drive-by media run by the Democrats would not reveal them.  I will share as many as I can with you, but I cannot compromise those soldier’s safety who are still in the fight.  Rest assured, we have the finest fighting force in the world, and the bravest. 

God Bless the USA,

You might need to see one of these Penis Shrinks for penis shrinkage!

Just as the penis grows without your consent, sometimes it shrinks. “The flaccid penis varies in size considerably within a given man,” says Drogo Montague, MD, a urologist at the Cleveland Clinic.  That’s a function of the sympathetic nervous system.  So if your penis goes missing, it could be from stress (and the cold)!

Psychological Stress also involves the sympathetic nervous system, and stress has the same effect as a cold shower, Montague says. When you’re relaxed and feeling well, your flaccid penis looks bigger than when you’re stressed out.  I don’t know for sure, but maybe this is the origin of the phrase, Stage Fright?

“Relax, Dog!”

The penis is “kind of a barometer of the sympathetic nervous system,” Montague says. So the greeting, “How’s it hanging, dog?” is more apt than you might have realized.

Gynecomastia - Male Breast Development (aka Man Boobs, Moobies, Bitch Tit)

Androgel, or any testosterone product (cream, patch, pill, or injection) can turn out to be a disaster for men (and doctors) who don’t know all about hormones and how they work.  You must block estrogen using an aromatase inhibitor or you risk breast development and many other problems!  In my practice, I see tons of guys who complained to their doctors about low sex drive, and they were promptly given a sample and prescription for a year’s worth of cream.  This is much worse than if you did nothing!   I single out Androgel, because it is the most common offender of boobs (in the gym they are always called “Bitch Tits”) in men because of the convenient pump.  That convenience quickly turns to more than an inconvenience!  Does anyone have the number of that plastic surgeon that does breast reduction in men?  1 800 No Estrogen Blocker.

The Testosterone Cascade

The Aromatase Enzyme-  (see the left side of the diagram) Here’s how testosterone is converted to active metabolites some good – some bad (for men).  It is the estradiol that causes many problems for men, not just “man boobs”, but it can cause bloating, emotional outbursts, tears, depression, love of the color pink , and leads to loss of the ability to keep an erection (ED).  The sad part is, the testosterone does increase desire and erections, but the estrogen makes it impossible to do anything.  I am not a conspiracy freak, but I wonder if Androgel and Viagra have teamed up on the men of this world? 

Diet Testosterone – if you look at this picture for two minutes solid – you won’t eat for a week and you will lose weight.

Look for my upcoming blog on synthetic and natural estrogen blockers – they really are the power behind any good testosterone treatment plan.

Benefits of Growth Hormone Therapy to Women - Be a Man Magnet!

“The effects of six months of human growth hormone (HGH) on lean body mass and adipose tissue reversed the equivalent of changes incurred during 10-20 years of aging.” “The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable…We now realize that some aspects of it can be prevented or reversed.” – Dr. Daniel Rudman, MD – New England Journal of Medicine.  Not only does HGH take away those pesky “love handles” or lower “tummy pooch“, but it can also shape up small areas like chubby cheeks, back fat, bra fat, and upper arm wobble!  Since this hormone replaces and rejuvenates tissues, the collagen that underlies the skin firms and plumps so fine lines and wrinkles are erased (you might not need as much Botox or Restylane Fillers).   The skin also acts like young skin, and is full of moisture, has good tone, and seems to radiate a healthy look.  Of course, that smile on your face, and your boyfriend’s isn’t a bad thing either!

Human Growth Hormone replacement makes a woman dangerous!

Clinical evidence and recent medical research clearly demonstrate that by replacing Human Growth Hormone in IGF-1 deficient women, we can significantly  reverse the biological effects of aging, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen the heart and improve sexual performance!  That would make you a very dangerous women, indeed! LOL!   Honestly, what women couldn’t use some of this magical potion to help in some area?  Well, if you want to know more, or see if you qualify for  HGH, or possibly testosterone,  check out my clinic which is at www.nationwidesi.com.   Elevate your preventive medicine and anti-aging maintainence program to include balanced hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – you will be very glad you did.

Cassie Napier- can soothe a stomach ulcer  with antacid, Prevacid for TAP Pharmaceuticals

It is not easy selling drugs to doctors.  We doctors see 10 – 20 reps per week coming in and out of our door placing charts, new results, and samples in our medication closets.  Some doctors are now not even seeing reps anymore, and since rule changes requiring marketing incentives to never exceed $10.00 – the open door policy for even established reps is closed or closing soon.  Rules prohibiting spousal attendance at Continuing Medical Education (CME) meetings – usually in nice restaurants,  has decimated attendance.  All the pharmaceutical reps in the world could never convince me to use anything but the best (and not a one of the doctors I have ever met or talked to about it) so I still am mystified by those who maintain doctors being easily swayed by reps.  So, now the only way to reach doctors is to amp up the sex appeal of the reps.  This is fighting dirty, but I must say it still works.  Nobody is swayed by a beautiful reps’ message, but they do get a few minutes of listening time. 

Samples are the best way to get a patient started quickly on a treatment plan

Pharmaceutical sales is a fast-paced, high-turnover business that rewards assertiveness, persistence, and knowledge. Pharmaceutical sales representatives spend most of their business time on the road, talking with pharmacists, hospital personnel, physicians, patient advocacy groups, and even retirement homes, increasing the visibility of their company’s products and the volume of their sales. It looks and even sounds like an easy gig, but it is a very demanding job.  Especially in the heat of south Florida, packing in pamphlets, samples, and sandwiches, ice, and drinks for a luncheon while wearing a suit – well that is a true test of will.

So, take a look at a sample of some of the more “Sexy Sample Masters” working the medical scene today:

If you have planned to go on a sun-kissed beach holiday tour, you would certainly be looking to improve your appearance. The shape of your legs and thighs plays an important role in your appearance when you wear swimsuits or beach.

“Paris Hilton” was voted to have the 6th Best Legs in Hollywood – now seems to be more “grounded” lately. 

A new procedure has been developed which uses Botox to carry out calf enhancements, it has been revealed.  Paris would be an excellent candidate in looking at this latest picture (Rumor is she’s dating “Shamoo” the killer whale, she thinks he’s ‘hot” in his black suit -nice white teeth too)

The Wonder Drug – Botox Cosmetic Purified Neurotoxin Complex

Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr. John Anastasatos claimed that many people across the globe are unhappy with the size of their calves and ankles, leading him to develop the new treatment.  The procedure uses strategic injections of Botox into selected leg muscles to reduce the size of their calves and muscles without any loss of muscle activity.

 Get your summer legs here!

“The injections to certain leg muscles are administered in a precise, anatomic distribution pattern and doctors unfamiliar with the anatomy should not perform this procedure.” Dr. A  predicted that the treatment will become popular in the cosmetic surgery market and said he expects more impressive results to follow.  So far the Botox has not been helpful in reducing unsightly leg veins.

Don’t be fooled by the imposters…

Caffeine to Fat Fiber Leg Socks?

These Malaysia hosery is guaranteed to keep your legs from getting dirty for $8.99, but the only thing that will get thinner will be your wallet.  There are many gimicks being touted for thinning the calves, so be careful out there.  Liposuction below the knee can be dangerous so that isn’t a good idea either.

So who was voted to have  the best legs in Hollywood without Botox, socks, or lipo?

Ms. Kelly Brook (aka Kelly Ann Parsons) – gold medal winner of best legs for voluptuous women

She is an English model, actress, and swimwear designer featured mainly in bras and lingerie for large breasted women (not really known for her legs!).  She is well known as a Page 3 girl for the Daily Star.  I remember her in the movie, Survival Island which I viewed in downtown Baghdad, Iraq two years ago!  Recently she is known for her extremely short stint on Britain’s Got Talent as a fourth judge, which lasted less than a week!

Apparently, Kelly was out on the beach in St. Barts, and Billy Zane her now ex-boyfriend, suffered from severe shrinkage and she tried to revive his ego with some warm sand in a remake of Survival Island, the lost penis episode.  Maybe this is why she traded him in on a new rugby model, Danny Cipriani?  I guess we’ll all see if “Britain does have talent”or if she votes him off.

Good thing she has good legs, she goes through a lot of beach buddies (where is Jason Statham?).  Here Danny today, gone tomorrow?  We’ll see!

While there are many doctors doing the Botox Breast Lift Procedure, it remains highly controversial and only moderately successful overall.   I have performed this procedure with remarkable success in some, and less than exciting results in others.  So let’s step back a minute and look at how this procedure is designed to work – in order to do so we must review a little chest wall anatomy.

The pectoralis muscles work together to maintain the position of the breast.   The larger pectoralis major muscle maintains the height of the breast tissue, while the smaller pectoralis minor muscle keeps the breast from undue motion pulling downward.   The smaller the breasts, the easier it is for the muscles to maintain position and reduce excessive motion.  After breast enhancement surgery , depending on whether the implant is silicone or saline filled, and whether it was placed over the pectoralis or under it, will make a huge difference in how the chest wall maintains breast position and whether Botox will be effective. 

Since Botox (a toxin and medication produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum) injected into an area will cause a depolarization block and subsequent muscle paralysis- we can utilize this feature in many different ways.  Everyone is familiar with cosmetic usage in the face to give a more younger appearance free of deep lines and wrinkles.  We now use Botox to reshape eyebrows, turn frowns into pleasant smiles, stop unwanted and excessive sweating, and yes, even restore a more youthful breast appearance.  Knowing the anatomy of the pectoralis muscles, and using simple pulley mechanics, we can inject the smaller muscle, the pectoralis minor muscle with Botox and it will relax.  Then the stronger Pectoralis major muscle will have little resistance to the upward pull and can lift the breast skyward. 

We have to use a significant amount of Botox, usually a full bottle which contains 100IU.  We charge $1500 for this procedure, and the results last around 4 months.  Since Botox is a strong toxin, and you have many vital areas on your body, it is important that the doctor doing the procedure is very familiar, and comfortable with the injection process.  Many doctors feel it is too dangerous, and also might limit a person’s ability to exercise which I have not found to be the case.   Certainly, those patients who are very fit, with strong chest and arms do much better with the procedure than those who are less developed.  Again, women with firmer, and smaller breast mass also seem to fare much better than those with large pendulous breasts.  Remember, those who need a breast augmentation are not the target patient for this procedure.   It isn’t intended to make breasts look larger, or to rehab an augmentation gone bad.  It is a body shaper, which lifts breasts and spirits, and can really seem to make those few unwanted pounds in the midsection seem to melt away.

Breasts and Breast Augmentation continues to be a major topic of discussion, the quest for the perfect shape is especially strong in the entertainment and modeling industry.  It is a tough job being a plastic surgeon these days- for it is possible to get sued even when the results are fantastic!  

Ex-Ms. Norway, now Maxim model, Kelly Hansen is suing her doctor to get him to pull down the before and after photos of her surgery.  He said she would have to pay him to pull them down!  She just paid him to” pull them up!”  It’s a wacky world.
