Letter from the Webdoctor November 28, 2005 Feast or Famine If you're as blessed as I was this Thanksgiving, you're faced with a fridge full of leftovers. To me, this is a dream come true! But to an alarming 4 out of 10 women with some sort of eating disorder, these morsels are far from considered treats. How do you know when your diet or the diet of someone you know needs an extreme makeover? Ask Catherine Stoehr, MA, a Smart Woman and Eating Disorder Specialist who we are proud to have hosting a discussion room on Ivanhoe.com. We have two interesting stories on cancer this week, with one about exercising to strengthen the tongue and throat muscles after head and neck cancer and the other about a new gene therapy treatment for melanoma called electroporation that Moffitt oncologist Adil Daud, M.D., says has never been used in human beings for any type of gene therapy before. For those dealing with Multiple Sclerosis, we're highlighting an inspirational woman who's overcoming MS and living life to its fullest. And for some excellent information on treating chronic daily headaches, don't miss our in-depth doctor's interview with Stephen Silberstein, M.D. Dr. Silberstein explains how Botox injections could help patients with these disabling headaches get them under control to the point where continued treatment may no longer be needed.
