FDA To Remove Breast Cancer
Indication From Avastin Label
From fdagov
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration announced
today that the agency is rec-
ommending removing the
breast cancer indication from
the label for Avastin (beva-
cizumab) because the drug has
not been shown to be safe and
effective for that use.
The agency is making this
recommendation after review-
ing the results of four clinical
studies of Avastin in women
with breast cancer and deter-

mining that the data indicate
that the drug does not prolong
overall survival in breast can-
cer patients or provide a suffi-
cient benefit in slowing dis-
ease progression to outweigh
the significant risk to patients.
These risks include severe
high blood pressure; bleeding
and hemorrhage; the develop-
ment of perforations (or
“holes") in the body, including
in the nose, stomach, and
intestines; and heart attack or
heart failure.
In July 2010, after review-
ing all available data an inde-
pendent advisory committee,
composed primarily of oncolo-
gists, voted 12-1 to remove the
breast cancer indication from
Avastin's label.
“After careful review of the
clinical data, we are recom-
mending that the breast cancer
indication for Avastin be
removed based on evidence
from four independent stud-
ies," Janet Woodcock, M.D.,
director of the FDA's Center
for Drug Evaluation and
Research. "Subsequent studies
failed to confirm the benefit
observed in the original trial.
None of the studies demon-
strated that patients receiving
Avastin lived longer and
patients receiving Avastin
experienced a significant
increase in serious side effects.
The limited effects of Avastin
combined with the significant
risks led us to this difficult
decision. The results of these
studies are disappointing. We
encourage the company to
conduct additional research to
Tulsa area is located at lati-
tude 36.12 degrees north of the
equator and that fact makes us
candidates for vitamin D3
deficiency, especially during
the winter.
Once associated with only
bone and tooth building, it is
now known that every cell in
the body requires vitamin D3.
Based on new rodent
research at UCLA, vitamin D3
is also linked to thyroid and
immune function. These
glands and organs are compro-
mised when vitamin D3 is
lacking.
Making vitamin D3 is a
cheap and easy thing to do.
just get some time in the sun-
shine. You will be glad to
know that there is no risk of
vitamin D3 toxicity from
exposure to sunlight, the body
regulates its production.
However, elderly and dark
skinned people are at greater
risk of deficiency and may
need to supplement with vita-
min D3.
Many researchers are
alarmed at the inadequacy of
vitamin D in the general popu-
lation. We have assumed that
during the summer people get
sufficient sunshine exposure
on the skin to convert it to vita-
min D3. However, current test-
ing shows otherwise for a
majority of Americans.
Cholecalciferol- D3. made by
the skin, is the preferred ver-
sion of vitamin D. And even
though we call it a vitamin,
cholecalciferol - D3 is really a
hormone that is stored in the
liver of all animals and
humans and is famous for its
use in bone formation among
many other uses.
In spite of this fact, the

most common food source is
found in milk, which is forti-
fied with D2-ergocalciferol.
Clinical nutritionists do not
regard D2 - ergocalciferol as
an equivalent nutrient to D3.
Actually, loo much D2 can
become toxic.
Most experts now believe
that the old standard recom-
mendation of 400 international
units for vitamin D is ridicu-
lously low. Dr. Michael
Hollick, one of the top vitamin
D3 researchers in the world, is
advising much higher doses of
D3 to protect against breast
and prostate cancer, autoim-
mune diseases such as multi-
ple sclerosis - MS. and arthri-
tis. He suggests doses up to
1.400 International Units (IU)
daily should be considered
without the need for blood
tests to guard against supple-
mental vitamin D3 toxicity.
However, some colleagues
have criticized him for his rec-
ommendations. While other
experts now say that 1,000 to
2.000 (lUs) is appropriate dur-
ing the winter to improve
immune function and prevent
depression.
To be certain of your need
for the very high doses,
request the correct blood test,
25-hydroxyvitamin D or
25(OH)D from a reputable lab.
It is called the DiaSorin assay,
and is considered the gold
standard for this test.
Cod liver oil is recognized
as an excellent source of the
required vitamin D3 for strong
bones and healthy thyroid
function, especially during
winter months. It also packs
doses of vitamins A and K for
skin, bones, cardiovascular
and immune system health.
The other benefit of cod liver
oil is the abundance of Omega
3 fatty acids found in the wild-
caught fish. We cannot get
these beneficial fats from
farm-raised fish that are fed
grain pellets. I highly recom-
mend Carlson’s or Nordic
Natural’s brand cod liver oil if
you choose this route.
The easiest method of get-
ting adequate D3 is to take
Carlson’s Liquid D3 drops. A
year's supply is packed into a
tiny bottle and one drop can
deliver your choice of 1,000 to
4,000 I.U.s without taking a
pill.

Removing the breast cancer
indication from the Avastin
label will be a process. This is
the first step. The drug itself is
not being removed from the
market and today’s action will
not have any immediate
impact on its use in treating
breast cancer. Today’s action
will not affect the approvals
for colon, kidney, brain, and
lung cancers.
Dear Readers.
Each holiday season I
become more introspective.
Recently, I counted my bless-
ings and 1 realized how fortu-
nate 1 am to have a great doc-
tor. Feeling well is one of the
best gifts in life.
My story is about one man
who has made it his mission to
help others. He’s brought over
10,000 babies into this world
during his career. His name is
Dr. Douglas Hall. Although 70
years old. he looks 50 and has
the energy of a 30 something. I
imagine it’s because he has a
really good physician... him-
self. He will laugh out loud
when he reads this, but allow
me to digress.
Hall is what I call “good
people" and we have these
wonderful souls all over the
world. Doctors who take care
of strangers as they wish to be
treated themselves. It’s a good
message this holiday season:
Do unto others as you would
have others do unto you.
1 have met many physicians
in my life and while I’m grate-
ful for their expertise and
attempts to heal the ills of
humanity. I've noticed that
most are an overly stressed
and busy lot. Too many con-
fine their education to drug
company-sponsored seminars
only. Most finish studying
once they have that coveted
medical diploma in hand. Very
few ever review clinical trials
as if your life depends on it.
News flash, it does!
24 Hour
Pharmacist
Being a functional medi-
cine practitioner, Dr. Hall
orders unique tests to find out
exactly what is wrong and uses
dietary supplements as part of
his protocol. Sometimes med-
ications are needed, but you
are not reduced to a disease
requiring a prescription for the
drug of the month. Having
shadowed him, I know it
would be easier to hand out
prescriptions all day rather
than explain your nutrient
deficiency and offer high qual-
ity supplements which correct
it. Sometimes, he runs late, but
that’s because he’s busy
explaining (with powerpoint
slides) what needs to change in
order for you to get well.
Is it an iron-deficiency?
Mercury overload? Estrogen
dominance? Testosterone defi-
ciency? Gluten allergy?
Parasites? Candida over-
growth?
These are common misdi-
agnosed conditions that cause
terrible symptoms. I’ve often
seen him do a fist pump like a
champ in his hallway because
he was so excited to have
made an important discovery
for a sick patient. And when
was the last time your doctor
high-fived you over your
newest blood work? I got one
when my vitamin D levels nor-
malized.
By Dr. Hall’s age, most
physicians retire 1 asked him
why still practices, and pores
over medical studies like this.
“Suzy,” he emphatically
replied. “If I help even one
patient today by learning
something new, then I have
done my job.” So serious is he.
that he wakes at 4 a.m. every
morning to review new studies
before opening the clinic. To
some, ignorance may be bliss,
but if you are a physician, it’s
downright dangerous. I hope
you feel inspired this
Christmas to give yourself the
gift of health, by finding a
local physician who stays cur-
rent and really cares about
you.
