An experimental cancer treatment trial using the drug Dostarlimab has shown promising results that may offer future cancer patients hope. The trial included eighteen rectal cancer patients who all took the drug as a part of immunotherapy treatment. Even though the trial included a significantly small sample size, the results were astonishing. Both symptoms and… Continue reading New Hope for Cancer Patients
Noise and sleep are not natural partners. Or so you would think. Traffic noises, car alarms, sirens and other disturbing sounds can make it hard to get to sleep and difficult to stay there. Some frequencies, however, are actually calming and relaxing, and conducive to slumber. Finding the perfect noise to help you sleep can… Continue reading Using Noise for Sleep
Something has been lost in the ever-increasing trend toward medical specialization. Specialists have the luxury of focusing all their attention on one area of care, allowing them to provide more exceptional treatment. Unfortunately, focus on one specific part of the body or a single illness, and it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture… Continue reading What is A Health Coach?

First, though, it’s important to understand why skin wrinkles and sags as we grow older. Over time,… Continue reading Slow Skin Aging

Doctors have long recommended their middle-aged adult patients take a daily low-dose (81mg) “baby” aspirin to help protect against heart disease and some forms of cancer. Until this year, it seemed like a small, relatively harmless step to take for what experts said were potentially significant benefits. Turns it out it may not provide the… Continue reading Baby Aspirin and Heart Health
Chances are you may have seen a movie or commercial in which athletes dunk themselves in deep tubs full of ice and water. That’s the most common type of cold water therapy, but the benefits aren’t limited to professional athletes.

Although many experts have promoted intermittent fasting as an efficient weight loss strategy, a new study recently published in the Journal of the American Heart Association indicates that time—even extended time—between meals has little or no effect on weight loss.
