Larry King Live on Prostate Cancer Screening (PSA)
Show Sets a New Standard for Disease Mongering
Friday, August 21, 2009,
the CNN television show,
Larry King Live, turned thousands of otherwise
healthy men into patients and caused them irreparable
harm when in-studio guests John McEnroe, Michael Milken,
and Dr. Christopher Rose recommended that all men over
the age of 40 years undergo PSA examinations in order to
find prostate cancer. (This show can also be found
free on iTunes as a
podcast and as a
transcript.) I know Larry King personally. I
was a guest on his national radio show 3 times in the
distant past. He is an honest man, but I believe he was
duped into selling for the prostate cancer businesses at
the expense of men’s health on this particular evening.

Report on the July 2009 Costa Rica Adventure
This
was our 11th McDougall Adventure trip to the
Guanacaste Area of Costa Rica—a region in the northwest
of this ecologically preserved country. The major
improvement in this past trip over the previous 10 was a
change in hotels. We moved our operation to the Hilton
Papagayo Hotel. This is a first class resort and made an
important difference in our guests’ comfort and
happiness. There were a variety of dining rooms we were
able to use. We had all of our breakfasts in the
Papagayo rooms, which were enclosed and comfortable.
Most of our lunches were served buffet-style in the
large La Cosecha room. Lunch was served twice
buffet-style in the open-air Grill del Fuego, looking
over the beach. We had two dinners in the formal dining
room called the El Dorado.
Dinner was served in the amphitheater the evening the
children danced for us.
