It’s More Than “Just the Flu”
In 1918, a serious flu epidemic killed 3% of the entire world’s population. While we don’t expect this to happen again, approximately 20,000 to 40,000 Americans will die this year from flu-related illnesses (more than those who die from AIDS). Dr. Donnica discusses the difference between colds and flu, how to prevent the flu, who should get vaccinated, and how to treat yourself if you get it. Click here to read her article.

Jean Smart Has Designs On Curing Alzheimer’s
Losing a loved one to Alzheimer’s disease is never easy. But for former Designing Women actress Jean Smart the loss of her father last year to the devastating neurological disease was particularly painful. “My father was my hero,” says Smart. “I have three siblings and we’re very close and going through my father’s illness only made us closer.” To help other families, Smart was recently the special guest speaker at the Alzheimer’s Association’s Rita Hayworth Gala created by Princess Yasmin Aga Khan as a tribute to her mother, Hollywood screen legend Rita Hayworth who died suffering with Alzheimer’s disease in 1987. The gala raised $1.2 million to find a cure for the disease. For the complete article, click here.

Dr. Donnica Discusses Study of Breast-fed Girls and Breast Cancer Risk
Far Hills, NJ (5/12/08): Dr. Donnica Moore, founder and host of DrDonnica.com, returned as a guest expert on “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” (FOX) today to discuss a new study on the possible link between breast-feeding a female child and future breast cancer risk. The interview format study published in the journal Epidemiology (5/08) found that women who were breast-fed as infants had a 17 percent decrease in breast cancer risk compared to those who were not breast fed. Ironically, however, there was no difference in breast cancer risk in first-born children, regardless of whether or not they were breast-fed. “This is a study that raises more questions than it answers,” said Dr. Donnica, “but it definitely puts one more check mark in the column of the benefits of breast feeding.” For the complete article, click here.
