Making Cancer Rare with Dr. Mylaine Riobe
Saturday Nov 12, 2016
Saturday Nov 12, 2016
Dr. Mylaine Riobe, a Board-Certified Medical Doctor and specialist in traditional Chinese medicine and Integrative medicine of the Riobe Institute of Integrative Medicine in Stuart, Florida joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Prevention & Health News Channel. Dr. Riobe will be discussing "making cancer rare".
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Mylaine Riobe discuss the following:
You say that the answer to cancer is in its successful prevention. Isn’t this new ONCOblot testing just another “early diagnosis” tool?
What steps must we take to prevent cancer other than what we’ve already been told which is don’t smoke, eat right and exercise?
How do TCM and Integrative medicine prevent cancer?
So many Americans try to be proactive and take vitamins, do detoxes and take supplements but don’t seem to get any significant benefits. Aren’t these strategies considered integrative medicine?
Where can Americans get the guidance that they need to navigate the confusing landscape of preventive medicine?
Duration: 17:10
Did you know that for the first time in 200 years, our children are not expected to live as long as we do?
The reason for this is that our American medical system is based on the prevention of death rather than prevention of disease. 50% of Americans have life- shortening diseases by age 18.
Did you know that rates of cancer are expected to rise 42% by 2025? We spend more than the entire continent of Europe on cancer care and have over 700,000 more deaths per year than they do! Almost every American is touched by the epidemic of cancer.
The reason for this is that our American medical system is based on the prevention of death from cancer rather than prevention of cancer.
Dr. Riobe proves why early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer to prevent death is no longer acceptable. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Riobe has developed a ground-breaking integrative fusion technique that provides a dynamic approach that is effective, safe and prevents and treats diseases including cancer, by addressing their root causes.
Dr. Riobe's undergraduate studies were completed at Columbia University/Columbia College in NYC where she grew up. She obtained her medical degree at NY Medical College and completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Medical College of Pennsylvania and the University of South Carolina. There she learned conventional medical practices that she used for four years following her graduation and board certification in OB/GYN. During this time, she grew frustrated with the cookie-cutter medicine that she learned. Although this form of medicine serves its purpose for acute, life-threatening conditions, she felt that her patients who suffered from chronic conditions such as fatigue, poor sleep, low sex drive, and overweight were often frustrated and incompletely treated.
Her close relationship with her grandmother, who introduced her to holistic healing methods as a child, planted her passion to treat her clients as a whole.
She set out to learn methods that evaluate and treat root causes rather than mask symptoms. This calling led her to study traditional Chinese medicine and integrative medicine over the following 8 years. She completed her studies at The Academy of Pain Research, a University of California, Irvine-affiliated institution; The University of Miami, and The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
She incorporates these disciplines into her practice to provide an integrative, customized approach combining leading-edge modern medical testing and technology with time-tested energy-based methods of traditional Chinese medicine.
In her upcoming books, The Tao of Integrative Medicine and The Answer to Cancer, she makes sense out to the chaos that is our current health crisis and sets a path to prevention of diseases such as cancer as practiced at The Riobe Institute. The Riobe Methods also provides effective treatment of chronic symptoms and conditions after they take hold.
She enjoys practicing what she preaches by living an active life of healthy eating, balanced lifestyle and exercise. As a woman and a mom, she knows first hand how we can all be consumed by a hectic lifestyle. That’s when it’s more important than ever to get on the path to prevention by obtaining your Annual Integrative Check-up.

Lydia delRossi of Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot-Bath which allows virtually anyone to be able to enjoy all the benefits of a foot soaking - without ever having to use a tub of water on the floor ever again joins eHealth Radio and the Beauty and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Lydia delRossi discuss the following:What exactly are Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot Bath Booties - and how do they work?What made you design these for the public - what was the inspiration?How can a 20 minute foot soak help people - why should they do it?Can anybody use these? Do they have to be in a certain place or area to use Soakees?How has the response been to Soakees so far?
Duration: 13:38
Since 2002 Lydia delRossi of Aiken, SC has developed Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot Bath Booties as she manages Aiken Health Insurance - a full service Brokerage source for Nationwide "Alternative Health Insurance Strategies". Her Health Insurance business has lead her to see first hand how many people suffer from the very things a simple foot bath can help resolve - if only the foot bath process was easier. That was the mission of Soakees - and she succeeded.
She has used her sales and marketing experience over the past 14 years to developed a source for consumers to understand alternative coverage options available to them as well as offering guidance and coverage options for them - with Soakees being one of those "personal empowerment" development options which came from her exposure to the tremendous amount of people in her Health Insurance business who suffer from insomnia and anxiety and fatigue - all which cam be helped with this new "tool" holistically - vs taking more pharmaceuticals.
She has successfully driven the growth and development of several start- up companies which have launched innovative new products into the marketplace such as Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" FootBath Booties and "StepnSoak-911" Hoof Boots for the equine market.
A staunch supporter and active member of the nationally acclaimed Toastmasters she is a frequent invited speaker at the Business School Division of the University of South Carolina on marketing and business strategies and has had used her leadership abilities to define tools and resources for consumers to use which will significantly drop their out of pocket expense and help them find the best possible medical care - and optional venues for them to help themselves - regardless of if they have any Health Insurance coverage at all.
The goal Lydia delRossi and Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot bath Booties are attaining is to give consumers the resources, tools and knowledge to help empower themselves and think "out of the box" when it comes to simple - easy and cost effective solutions they may have missed. We invented convenience for them.
