Listen in because what you know helps ensure healthy choices you can live with. Today on Healthy Talk, you wanted to know: Is the HPV vaccine really necessary? There's a widespread belief among many people that vaccines are a fraud. HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a viral infection that contains over 100 different strains, with at least 30 known strains that can cause cancer. Dr. Mike can't really say if it is necessary or not. HPV has always been around and been linked to cervical, neck and throat cancers. Dr. Mike does want to mention that we are living in a different environment with a lot more people. Studies have shown that teenagers are having sexual intercourse more frequently and younger. Because of the combination of those factors, doctors and researchers should be studying HPV more. Are coffee enemas as good as experts say they are? Coffee enemas have been used in the holistic community for years. They are known to help constipation, fatigue, insomnia, and cognitive problems, and have been used in cancer therapies. However, the debate is still out there of whether or not the benefits of coffee enemas are true.
