Over the years I have talked with more than one woman who, when face with a breast cancer treatment decision, chose to have a double mastectomy. Their reasoning always revolved around completing removing the chance for a recurrence. In an article I read today, the...

I hope in previous posts I have made it abundantly clear that smoking cigarettes and looking for low life insurance rates is an oxymoronic walk in which you can’t get there from here. I have also gone on a bit about the reasons that life insurance underwriters...

My mom sent me a letter to the editor from their local newspaper the other day, a letter in which the claim was made that government was suppressing a known, proven cure for all cancer, ground apricot pits, also known as laetrile. This writer lumped the FDA, drug...

In an article on our soon to be “released” prostate cancer website I review all of the treatment options available. For elderly men, those between 65 and 80, with low to medium grade prostate cancer, “watchful waiting” is often considered to be...

In an effort to serve more completely the needs of those whose health can make getting affordable life insurance a challenge, Hinerman Group is moving ahead with new “health challenge specific” websites. My passion has always been to foster discussion and...

Obesity, which often leads to heart disease, the number one killer of women, has now been linked to the number two cancer in women, breast cancer. Let’s be frank about this. I am constantly reading studies and articles and I have yet to find anything that would...

The answer to that question would be….no cancer to underwrite! It seems that since cancer has been diagnosed and understood, there has been a constant supply of studies and advice on how to prevent cancer. Prevention of cancer! How good would that be? Think of...

I have mentioned before that if we all knew the date and time and perhaps the reason for our death, well ahead of time, it might change the need for life insurance dramatically. With time to plan it is possible to put money somewhere other than life insurance and...

I am always surprised by the number of cigarette smokers who inquire about life insurance and when they find out what the cost is, they suddenly lose all interest. The difference in cost is likely no where near what they are spending on the habit, but they...

Over the years, North American Ccmpany for Life and Health has moved in and out of the impaired risk spot light. Overall though, they would have to be judged as one of the better small companies out there. North American isn’t one of the big boys, but they are...

Whether it type 1 diabetes and your choice of insulin types, or type 2 diabetes and your choice of the 5000 oral medications on the market, all anyone with diabetes is looking for is a way to take the stress off their body. In a post yesterday, Allie Beatty wondered...

The Rock!! I bring Pru up every once in a while simply because they seem to be a company that is out to make a difference in the life insurance business. Other companies are competitive, and Prudential isn’t the answer to every life insurance question, but they...

There are life insurance agents and there are people who also sell life insurance. What does that small difference mean to you? I talk with my Farmers agent every so often about my auto or homeowners and he inevitably asks how business is going. It really leaves him...

A lot more weight loss this week. They did it while on vacation in Jamaica. Congratulations to all of them. I can tell you that I’ve certainly never lost weight on a tropical vacation. Again, the drama and game of the show is not my focus. Obesity carries some...

To some oncologists it appears to be a case of “the cure is worse than the disease”. There may be a link to one type of chemotherapy and the increased risk of heart disease in women who have already won one battle. Drugs call anthracyclines are a breast...
