What the Doctors Can Say about
Preventing ovarian cancer: Should women consider removing fallopian tubes?

  • This is a topic that is coming up in women’s health. Many women are removing breasts before cancer becomes an issue. What about fallopian tubes???
  • It would stand to reason that ovarian cancer starts in the ovary, but in fact most ovarian cancers start in the fallopian tubes.
  • Currently there is no effective screening test for ovarian cancer.

  • Because removing fallopian tubes has minimal risk, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends removal of the fallopian tubes (“opportunistic salpingectomy”) when possible at the time of other pelvic surgery, such as hysterectomy, to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.

  • Not only does removing just the tubes reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, but it preserves ovarian function. The advantage of keeping ovaries in a premenopausal woman is obvious, but advantages of keeping ovaries in a menopausal woman include decreasing risk of death from cardiovascular disease, maintaining cognitive function, and preventing osteoporosis.

  • So if a woman is having pelvic surgery such as hysterectomy, she should definitely discuss removal of fallopian tubes with her doctor.

What Zaki Tamir can say in an interview about
The Supreme Court’s recent rulings:

Roe v. wade

    • What is so interesting to me about the decision by the USSC is how many people misinterpret the decision. The decision is one that grants rights to the states it does not take away rights. The states were promised early on that the federal government would not take away the state jurisdiction. That is why we see that in the court system the state courts are called the “courts of general jurisdiction” because they have, by virtue of the USC, jurisdiction over every single matter, automatically. It is the Federal court that must search to find and confirm an appropriate avenue of the jurisdiction in order to handle a case (like diversity jurisdiction from state to state + over 75k/ or under the interstate commerce clause).

What Dr. Eilber Can Say on:
You need to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to be healthy. You’ve heard that so many times, it must be true? But is it?

  • It’s not good to be chronically dehydrated, but being over-hydrated just makes you pee more.
  • Shockingly there is no science between drinking eight glasses of water daily. Your pet goes to their drinking source when thirsty, drinks, then walks away. Your vet has never told you to make your dog drink eight bowls of water a day, so why do humans need eight glasses of water?
