Colorado Says Yes to Medical Use of 'Magic Mushrooms'
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Colorado voters have voted narrowly to approve the medical use of “magic mushrooms†in Colorado.“I’m in awe of what we were able to accomplish,†said Veronica Lightning Horse Perez, a lead proponent for legalizing psilocybin, the main psychoactive compound in mushrooms. “Over a million people voted yes on this. To think that many people see the value in these medicines, that many people know that these can be used for healing -- that’s huge.â€In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration called psilocybin a “breakthrough therapy," which has sped up development of medications using the compound. Psilocybin may have potential as a treatment for a host of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic...

SUNDAY, Nov. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While most homes aren't designed to be dementia-friendly, they can easily be adapted, according to a national Alzheimer's disease group."Virtually every aspect of a home can affect the person's quality of life," said Charles Fuschillo Jr., president and CEO of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA).

Got the 'Winter Blues'? Exercise Can Help
12 November 2022
SATURDAY, Nov. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A good workout can boost mood, making it an ideal routine as the days get shorter and darker.If you're one of the millions affected by seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and you feel tired, unmotivated, down on life and crave carbs and sweets, staying active can help. An expert from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston offers some tips for maintaining an exercise routine. “With seasonal affective disorder, it is desirable to continue to exercise or maybe even increase your exercise,†said Dr. James McDeavitt, a professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. “Relatively sustained aerobic exercise effects mood positively, but you don’t just have to run or do aerobics — you can do things like yoga, tai chi or meditation, which help...
She Thought Cancer Had Won — Until This Experimental...
11 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The breast cancer of author and poet Stephanie Gangi has receded and advanced in wearying waves for two decades now.First diagnosed and treated in 1999, Gangi’s cancer spread to the bone of her sternum in 2014. In 2021, a tumor the size of an orange appeared on her adrenal gland.“I could not possibly tell you the number of treatments I’ve been through,†said Gangi, 66, of New York City. “It’s multiple surgeries, multiple radiations, every drug available.â€Now, Gangi’s latest cancer therapy — an experimental immune treatment akin to a cancer vaccine — might have finally bought her some hard-fought peace.Through a four-step procedure, the therapy essentially taught Gangi’s immune system how to recognize and attack cancer...
AHA News: Born With 6 Heart Defects, He's Now a College Junior and Competitive Swimmer
11 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 11, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Zayne McCall was blue when he was born. Before his mother could hold him, doctors rushed him away to run tests.At first, they thought one of his lungs had collapsed. Further testing showed Zayne was born with heart defects – six of them.These included anomalous pulmonary venous return, a rare defect in which oxygen-rich blood returns to the right side of the heart instead of the left. Zayne also had complete atrioventricular canal defect, or a hole in the center of his heart, and pulmonary atresia, where the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the lungs doesn't form.Hospital staff encouraged his parents, Debbie Perkins-McCall and Joey McCall, to call family members to meet Zayne right away. They feared he...
California Voters Ban Flavored Tobacco, and a Cigarette Maker Is Suing
11 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Only one day after California voters approved allowing a state law banning flavored tobacco products to take effect, a tobacco giant has sued to prevent it. R.J. Reynolds on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit challenging Proposition 31 and the law originally signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom two years ago. The law would ban the sale of all flavored tobacco and vaping products, and could happen within weeks.“Time and time again, Big Tobacco has attempted to steam roll state efforts to protect our youngest residents from the damaging effects of tobacco use,†California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. “While we have not yet been formally served with the lawsuit, we look forward to vigorously defending this important law in...
America's ER Docs Warn of Surge in Patients Due to 'Tripledemic'
11 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Emergency rooms are clogged with people who are waiting for inpatient beds or other care and it's causing a crisis, according to the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).ACEP is one of more than 30 medical, patient advocacy and public health and safety groups who have sent a letter to the White House asking for a summit to work on immediate and long-term solutions.The problem is urgent as U.S. emergency rooms deal with a "tripledemic" -- the respiratory disease threat of influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).Dubbed "boarding," the problem means too many patients are waiting to be seen by ER doctors, for hospital admission, to return to their nursing home or to be transferred to psychiatric, skilled nursing or...
Liability Fears Keep Some Schools From Stocking Asthma Inhalers
11 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It's a potentially deadly issue: Some U.S. school administrators don’t keep life-saving albuterol asthma inhalers on hand because they’re afraid of getting sued for misuse. That's true even in states like Illinois, where strong "stock albuterol" laws are on the books, researchers say.Kids with asthma don’t always carry their inhalers, and some may not even know they have asthma until they have an attack, experts note. But stock inhaler programs in some states are designed to make sure schools do have an asthma reliever, such as albuterol, on hand in case of emergency.“Stock inhaler laws improve access to asthma reliever inhaler medications in schools for children who experience respiratory symptoms,†said study author Dr. Andrea...
