Excerpt:

In a written request to the legislature, Chavez said doctors recommended sessions of hyperbaric oxygen treatment to continue strengthening his health. Chavez has said that tests earlier this year showed he was cancer-free. Medical experts say treatment in a hyperbaric chamber can help cancer patients recover from damage to nerves or muscles that can be caused by radiation therapy.

One of the fastest-growing dietary supplements, probiotics are now prominent on drug and big-box store shelves. They are live microorganisms—or "good" bacteria—that when consumed in capsules or yogurt are said to confer a health benefit. So far, however, there is little scientific proof of their effectiveness—many studies of probiotics have involved less-than-rigorous research standards. As further data become available, some researchers believe probiotics may evolve into prescription drugs, as doctors focus on specific bacteria strains to target patients' particular conditions. At the moment, however, many experts say probiotics are misunderstood. "Consumers have shown to be willing to spend the money, just in case [probiotics] work," says Michael Fischbach, an assistant professor of bioengineering and therapeutic sciences at the University of California, San Francisco.

Panel pushes for Americans ages 15 to 64 to get tested for HIV | Reduction

Panel pushes for Americans ages 15 to 64 to get tested for HIV

Excerpt:

There's a new push to make testing for the AIDS virus as common as cholesterol checks. Americans ages 15 to 64 should get an HIV test at least once - not just people considered at high risk for the virus, an independent panel that sets screening guidelines proposed Monday. The draft guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force are the latest recommendations that aim to make HIV screening simply a routine part of a check-up, something a doctor can order with as little fuss as a cholesterol test or a mammogram. Since 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has pushed for widespread, routine HIV screening. Yet not nearly enough people have heeded that call: Of the more than 1. 1 million Americans living with HIV, nearly 1 in 5 - almost 240,000 people - don't know it.

Your bedroom could be making you fat | Reduction

Having a hard time resisting a doughnut or biscuits and gravy? You may be hungry for sleep, and experts say there's a big connection between your sleep and your weight, MyFoxAtlanta reported.   The problem may be your bedroom. Over the last decade, several studies have shown how you sleep dramatically affects your weight. The less sleep you get, the more you crave high-fat, high-sugar comfort foods. Psychologist and sleep specialist Dr. Michael Breus said if you can solve your sleep issues, the weight will come off. The first place to start is to look around your bedroom for what's working and what's not working. "Walk into your bedroom and take a look around, and how does it make you feel?" Breus asked. If "stressed" is the answer, Breus said start rethinking your room -- focusing on your senses. First is sight.
