	Where can I see Dr. Donnica on Television This Week? (Far Hills NJ, 10/19/09):� On ABC's "Good Morning Amercia Health" today, Dr. Donnica debunked several myths about the first trimester of pregnancy.� "Myths about in pregnancy," Dr. Donnica noted, "in large part to try to explain much of its mystery."� For this reason, many myths circulate about ways to tell if you're having a boy or a girl (FACT:� the only way in to tell in the first trimester is with a chorionic villus sampling procedure, CVS) and even more myths circulate about what factors cause miscarriages.� Other myths include those about not taking any medications whatsoever, not having massages, and other risks.� To view this segment, click here. In last week's segment on "GMA Health", Dr. Donnica and Tanya Rivero discussed the ground-breaking publication in Science (10/8/09) which identified a link between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and the XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia-related virus) retrovirus in the blood of 67% of 101 patients with CFS.� "While this does not identify the cause of CFS, it is yet another piece of compelling evidence documenting the biological basis of CFS," says Dr. Donnica.� "This underscores the urgent need for a substantial increase in research focused on the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of CFS," she added.� To view this segment, click here.� To view her previous segment on "Good Morning America Health" discussing what CFS is, click here.� To read Dr. Donnica's 5-part series on CFS, click here.�� On GMA Health 10/16/09, Dr. Donnica answered several viewer questions.� It was no surprise that most of them were about the H1N1 vaccine and who should or shouldn't get it.� In addition, she answered questions about tired, achy legs & stem cell research.� To view this segment, click here.� To submit it a question for possible coverage in a future "Ask GMA Health" segment, click here�and fill out the form on the lower right portion of the page.� In addition to what we need to know to protect our own health, women also need to know about the health risks and conditions which affect our loved ones.� Dr. Donnica discussed "What Women Need to Know About Prostate Cancer" on "Good Morning America Health" on September 17, 2009.� To view the segment, click here.� "Good Morning America Health" airs weekdays at 2:00 pm EST & 5:30 pm EST on ABC News NOW, the ABC News' digital cable network, available on cable, broadband and mobile. � �
