Dr. Mehmet Oz discussed the tragic death of Princess Diana, and offered his theories for why she died on the April 10 episode of the Dr. Oz Show. “We are re-examining one of the most intriguing deaths of our time,” said Dr. Oz. “She was awake and talking after her crash but was dead only a few hours later.”
Princess Diana died in August 1997 at the age of 36 after a horrific car accident in Paris. An investigation later revealed that the car Diana was riding in hit a pillar in a highway tunnel while moving at 65 miles per hour. Both the driver of the car and Diana’s boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, died instantly.
Dr. Oz was shocked to learn that Diana had initially survived the crash and wanted to understand why she later died. Dr. Oz’s guest was medical examiner Dr. Bill Manion, a forensic pathologist. Dr. Manion said when emergency workers responded to the scene of the accident, they were surprised to find that Diana was conscious and crying out for help.
Pathologist: Diana Did Not Have to Die
Diana had multiple cuts on her neck and forehead and her arm was dislocated, but she was still alive. Dr. Oz and Dr. Manion used a mannequin to re-enact the crash, and concluded that Diana likely suffered severe internal injuries after being thrown around inside the car. Exacerbating her injuries was the fact that the princess had not worn a seat belt.
Dr. Manion was outraged that it took two hours to transfer the injured Diana to the hospital, and said this inexcusable delay was partly responsible for her death. Manion said Diana’s injuries were survivable, and blamed incompetence on the part of the French […]

Shailene Woodley, you guys. Shailene Woodley. She’s been crowned Next Big Thing, and if you’re not already familiar with her, you soon will be: Today, her movie “Divergent” opens, which many expect to be the next “Hunger Games”-level hit; in June, she’ll star in her second highly anticipated YA film adaptation of the year,“The Fault in Our Stars.”
Before now, Woodley’s been able to maintain a relatively low profile, which means you may not know this about her: She has some interesting ideas about health and beauty! Earlier this week, Woodley told the beauty blog Into The Gloss about some of those ideas, in a post that’s been widely shared; we took those ideas to some physicians for a second opinion.
So, Shailene: Love you, mean it, but, overall, medical experts have NOT A CLUE what you’re talking about.
Shailene on eating clay
“(Clay) is one of the best things you can put in your body. One of my friends was making a clay toothpaste that you swallow instead of spit out. But I first heard about the benefits of eating clay from a taxi driver. He was African and was saying that, where he’s from, the women eat clay when they’re pregnant. Seriously—ask your taxi drivers where they are from and about their customs. You will learn a lot. So, I’ve discovered that clay is great for you because your body doesn’t absorb it, and it apparently provides a negative charge, so it bonds to negative isotopes. And, this is crazy: it also helps clean heavy metals out of your body.”
She’s absolutely right in saying that there are many cultures who do this, and have done so for generations. “This is a practice in some indigenous cultures, and […]

A breaking study suggests that the cure for acne could lie in the science of bacteria.
For decades, scientists have puzzled over the main mystery of acne: If the zit-causing bacteria known as P. acnes lives on everyone’s skin, why do some people react to it with relentless breakouts, while others get to enjoy clear, resilient complexions?
Now, a new study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology has discovered a possible answer. Researchers from UCLA lifted P. acnes bacteria from the pores of 49 acne-prone and 52 clear-complexioned volunteers. What they found were more than 1,000 strains of the bacteria, from which they were able to identify genes unique to each strain.
And it turns out that all P. acnes was not created equal.
“We were extremely excited to uncover a strain of P. acnes that’s common in healthy skin, yet rarely found when acne is present,” said principal investigator Huiying Li, an assistant professor of molecular and medical pharmacology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
In other words, those with clear skin had “good” bacteria that appeared to keep the “bad” pimple-triggering bacteria at bay, and genetics seem to play a crucial role in who gets doled out the lucky hand.
“Not all bacteria is bad—we have good bacteria in our bodies that keep us in check and help us stay healthy,” explains Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai’s department of dermatology.
It’s a bacterial concept that many women are already familiar with, thanks to the nuisance of yeast infections. But before you slather on a Dannon Light mask the next time you spot a zit, the good news is that scientists already have a lead on […]

Your doctor might hold the cure for a problem that’s been bugging the medical community. Read on to learn about three local physicians’ exciting fieldwork.
Doctor-patient communication’s importance in cancer prevention
Who’s doing it? Columbia University’s Dr. Charles Basch, colorectal cancer researcher for the American Cancer Society
What did he do? Basch’s research is a follow-up to a previous study that led to increased awareness of colon cancer screening. But with screening rates still low, more needed to be done. “This study targets doctors as a potential source of communication,” he says. “We need to provide doctors with adaptive training and educate them on the barriers patients face. Doctors need to make patients more comfortable.”
When will treatment be available? He’s hoping to discern the study’s effectiveness “in the coming months,” he says. “All doctors agree that colonoscopies prevent colon cancer, but we need to tailor the conversation. Then we can implement it better.”
New minimally invasive procedure for diabetes and weight loss
Who’s doing it? Dr. Louis Aronne, Sanford I. Weill professor of metabolic research at Weill Cornell Medical College
What did he do? Aronne helped develop a liner “to block the absorption of calories from the first part of the intestine.” The non-surgical procedure takes a half hour to insert, and patients go home the same day. “It’s an alternative to gastric bypass and might reduce the amount of drugs diabetics take.”
When will it be available? FDA registration trials will take a couple years, but it will be longer before the procedure is available. Right now, “we’re recruiting people for the trials,” Aronne says.
Probiotics for healing acne and rosacea, and slowing skin aging
