		<title>Do or Die?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like my colleagues all over the world, I was trained to never stop advocating for my patients, and to exhaust every option when it came to their health and survival. Yet as these options proliferate, are we physicians and caregivers taking our efforts too far, and unintentionally harming our terminally-ill patients in the process? That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking Bone Density</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the population lives longer, bone fractures become more important. Even microfractures in the spine from collapsed vertebrae can cause pain and disability, while hip fractures can be life-threatening to an older person.

		<title>If You Give a Mouse a B12 Shot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s recent Functional Medicine conference was illuminating and energizing, as always. One study utterly blew me away, involving a little animal called the Agouti mouse. This particular mouse is often used in research because it is genetically overweight, making it naturally more susceptible to diabetes, cancer, and a shorter lifespan than its mouse relatives.
This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teens and ADHD Meds: New Cause for Alarm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing new about teenagers doing anything they can to stay up all night and get their work done (remember No-Doz?). What&#8217;s so worrisome now, though, are the reports surfacing about the huge surge in teen abuse of ADHD medications, with sometimes fatal results. Of course, lots of kids take prescription drugs just to get high, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chinese Herbs and Endometriosis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a promising new study suggesting that Chinese herbs are an effective treatment against endometriosis, a disease that threatens fertility and effects an estimated 5.5 million women in the US. This is exciting news, since women who suffer from endometriosis are generally given two treatment options &#8211; powerful medications with side-effects, or surgery. Most feel [...]]]></description>
