Ronald D. Blatt, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., has been an expert in the field of women's health for over 30 years. Board-certified gynecologist, expert surgeon and compassionate physician, Dr. Blatt's driving imperative is to treat matters of vaginal health and intimate skin care with knowledge, awareness and respect.
Dr. Blatt has built one of the world's top health care practices in New York City, where he is Chief Surgeon and Medical Director of the Manhattan Center for Vaginal Surgery and the Manhattan Centers for Women's Health. He is also Chairman of the Femnene Corporation, where he developed a revolutionary line of Intimate Skin Care products for mature women.
Located on New York's fabled East Side, the Manhattan Centers staff provides a comprehensive array of gynecological services to a diverse clientele and perform a variety of cosmetic surgery procedures, which include vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, and vaginal rejuvenation. Aware of the fact that it is sometimes difficult for women to talk about the subjects of vaginal looseness, loss of sexual satisfaction or enlarged labia.
Dr. Blatt draws on decades of experience in the ob/gyn field to put patients at ease, answer their questions in an empathetic manner, and provide the knowledgeable consultation and professional treatment women seek.
Dr. Blatt's focus is, and has always been, on the well-being of the total woman. It was this devotion that led to his creation of what he calls his Intimate Skin Care line – with medical benefits specifically formulated for a woman's most private areas: Total feminine skin care that results in greater comfort and sexual self-esteem. His first product, Vulvare, was developed and released to a specialty salon market.
Response was so overwhelmingly positive that Dr. Blatt felt encouraged to expand his range of products. Along with his group of research scientists, he went back to the laboratory and created the PrivateRx brand.
Dr. Blatt graduated magna cum laude from the esteemed S.U.N.Y Albany, he then graduated from University of Vermont College of Medicine. Dr. Blatt fulfilled his residency at St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. As he was particularly sensitive to women's health issues, he decided to invest his time, energy and passion in the field of gynecology. Dedicated to educating women in personal and intimate health care, Dr. Blatt feels that the topic of vaginal health is often neglected. While surgical measures can provide successful results, there are still the everyday concerns that must be tended to. The PrivateRx intimate skin care line is designed to do just that.

Dr. Kathleen Ruddy shares the untold story of her breast cancer virus research

Dr. Kathleen Ruddy, an internationally recognized breast cancer surgeon, who has dedicated the last eight years to writing a book that reveals the untold story of her breast cancer virus research joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Prevention and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Kathleen Ruddy discuss the following:
What the basic premise of the new book?What compelled you to write this book?How do you hope this research will work towards a cure?    What do you want the medical community to know?What are 5 breast cancer myths you want to share?
Duration: 12:20
Internationally acclaimed as a global healthcare leader for the “Pure Cure” – breast cancer prevention – Dr. Ruddy works tirelessly to promote primary prevention of breast cancer. She is especially committed to supporting research on the human breast cancer virus and the development of preventive breast cancer vaccines.  Dr. Ruddy’s mission: To understand the specific causes of breast cancer and to use that knowledge to prevent the disease. Her vision: Persuade the world that Prevention Is The New Cure.
Dr. Ruddy has twice been recognized by the largest private insurer in New Jersey (Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey) as an outstanding surgeon whose outcomes and cost-effectiveness are exemplary. Dr. Ruddy has twice received awards for her blog on the breasthealthandhealing.org website.
Breast Cancer kills one woman every minute. That’s a statistic internationally recognized breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kathleen Ruddy is intent on changing. That challenge starts with a question: Can a mouse virus cause breast cancer in women?
Answering that question has become Dr. Ruddy’s life’s work. With 100 years of research establishing that most breast cancer may well be virus-based, the answer is vital to the future of millions of women and men. As Dr. Ruddy, the first and only breast cancer specialist to compile this encyclopedic research in one volume, remarks, “If there’s a virus that causes breast cancer, and a safe and effective vaccine that can prevent this disease, we need to know about it now, not in another 100 years.”
Although we can trace the origins of breast cancer back 5,000 years to the Egyptians, it was the research of Dr. John Bittner in the 1930s who discovered a breast cancer virus in mice that marked a turning point, Dr. Ruddy explains. From that moment on there has been a long tangled path for research on the breast cancer virus to be taken seriously, despite the mounting evidence supporting this idea.
After eight years of compiling and analyzing all available data, what has emerged, Dr. Ruddy believes, is compelling evidence that a virus found in a certain species of mice (Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus - MMTV) is responsible for up to 75% of human breast cancer.
In Of Mice and Women, (Breast Health and Healing Foundation) by Kathleen T. Ruddy, tells the story of this research, and why few of us have heard about it.
