Most people remain clueless about the real dangers of wireless technology.  Discover what the health experts are saying and how to protect yourself.

An old Chinese proverb states, "Only when one cannot sleep does one know how long the night is." Anyone who's ever experienced an occasional bout with insomnia-and that's most of us-can relate to this all too well.

In fact, surveys have shown that between 40 and 60 percent of the general population has trouble sleeping. Daily stress and worries, pressures from job and family, body aches and pains caused by uncomfortable beds or pillows, and a host of other issues can keep a person from getting enough quality sleep.

Many people stretch, but few truly understand that it's an art and a science. There's a right way and a wrong way to derive all the inherent benefits.

There's an ancient adage that proclaims: "You are as young as your spine is flexible." People who've retained the elasticity of their spines and limbs appear youthful and "alive" in middle age and beyond. Consistency of practice and relaxation are two of the biggest keys in the art of stretching.

Students at Ball State University are declining to get flu shots. Last year, the University claims it had a pretty intense flu season, which they termed a "flu epidemic," but that hasn't sent a rush of students to the flu shot nurse.

Ball State University wants to believe it is just "youth" causing a great portion of their students to refuse the flu shot, but that might not be the entire case. While the University does it's best to paint a picture of the young and naive, many students are just saying it flat out makes them sick.

Delaying kindergarten enrollment for one year shows significant mental health benefits for children. Researchers found that a one-year delay in enrolling a child in kindergarten dramatically reduces inattention and hyperactivity at age seven.

Researchers found that children who were held back from kindergarten for as little as one year showed a 73 percent reduction in inattentiveness and hyperactivity compared to children sent the year earlier, according to this new study on kindergarten and mental health.

Some doctors believe moms with a debilitating pregnancy complication could get relief from smoking pot, but it's not as simple as that.

In early January 2015, Trinity Dogood started vomiting and couldn't stop. "I thought I had food poisoning or an awful stomach bug," Dogood said. But after three days, the vomiting still hadn't subsided, and Trinity found herself in the ER of a local hospital, begging for relief. When the triage nurse took her blood for testing, they discovered she was pregnant.

It seems with the many reports of birth defects, organ failure, cancer, and other unsavory health conditions associated with GMO consumption, we should limit the use of GMO in baby products.

I Rolled My Eyes at Parents Who Said Vaccines Caused Their Kids' Autism

This is not aimed at anyone in particular, so please don't think it is. I am seeing this vaccine argument all over my newsfeed lately, and I have to put in my two cents.

If you're pro-vaccine, I get where you're coming from. Up until last year, I was right there with you. Some of my older friends might remember I used to joke about how stupid "the anti-vaccine movement" is. I used to mock them. I would roll my eyes at parents who claimed vaccines caused their kids' autism. I figured they were understandably angry and full of grief, and looking for someone or something to blame for a mysterious disorder for which a cause cannot be found. I have two children with autism. I get it.

Genetically Modified Herpes Virus Approved to Treat Melanoma

October 28, 2015

Imlygic (talimogene laherparepvec; Amgen), a genetically modified oncolytic viral therapy, has been approved for the local treatment of unresectable cutaneous, subcutaneous and nodal lesions in patients with melanoma recurrent after initial surgery.

This is the first oncolytic viral therapy approved by the FDA based on therapeutic benefit demonstrated in a pivotal clinical trial. Imlygic is a genetically modified herpes simplex virus type 1 injected directly into tumors where it replicates inside tumors and produces the immune stimulatory protein GM-CSF. Imlygic causes lysis of tumors, followed by release of tumor-derived antigens, which together with virally derived GM-CSF may promote an antitumor immune response. The exact mechanism of action, however, is unknown.
