Easter Came Too Early!

     How is the date set for Easter and why does it vary so much from year to year? I’m sure someone can explain this to me.

     Watch our Medical Headline Videos:

•      A non-surgical solution for tendons and ligaments in your knees involves regenerative injection therapy. Dr Ronal Rosen in Bend, Oregon tells us all about it.
•      Dr Nestor Tomycz, a neurosurgeon at Allegheny Health Network in Pittsburgh explains NPH and says it is often misdiagnosed as dementia or Parkinson’s but unlike those two,NPH can often be reversed.
•      Dr Brian Gastman, MD, just completed a study at Cleveland Clinic on pregnant women and melanoma. The bottom line is do not skip your appointment with your dermatologist because your risks keep climbing for at least a year after pregnancy.

     Our first special report is “The ALIVE! Project: Diet Lessons from the Bible.” The National Institutes of Health made a $1.2 million grant for it so someone thinks it has value.

     If you have allergies, be sure to read our full interview with Dr Deborah Gentile, MD. She is having great success with SLIT therapy and her patients are very glad to get away from those shots they’ve always had to take.

And there's more where that came from...
