Can
Prayer Heal?
Those
who believe prayer heals got a boost from a recent study.
It showed women undergoing in vitro fertilization had higher
rates of pregnancy when groups of strangers anonymously
prayed for them. That won't be enough to convince
the skeptics, but cancer survivor Judy Milli isn't one of
them.
Full
Body Scans
Dozens
of people in Vancouver have forked out almost a thousand
dollars each to get a three-dimensional look at their insides.
It's called a "full-body scan", and it's done
with a million-dollar x-ray machine called a CT scan.
The problem is, their doctors didn't order these tests,
and they may be medically unnecessary.

High
Society
Canada
may be the first country to sanction marijuana as a medicine,
but not many are happy with the government's system.
Even though some patients are allowed to use pot,
they're not supposed to buy it. In many Canadian cities,
patients are getting around that by joining compassion clubs˜.part
pot shop, part counseling service, they bring new meaning
to the term "high society."
Exercise
Myths
Doing
300 sit ups a day will give you washboard abs. No pain,
no gain. This is part of the conventional wisdom about
exercising. But there are many myths associated with
fitness and Rob Bertelink, exercise supervisor at the Toronto
Rehab Cardiac Program is going to help dispel them.
