A study showing seismically better success rates with morning cancer treatments proved too good to be true. We discuss why the much-publicized study in the journal Nature Medicine has now been retracted after its Chinese authors acknowledged it did not meet the rigorous standards of a “high-impact journal.” We also discuss the role that inflammation may play in the treatment of depression and the explosive resurgence of a stomach ailment that should persuade everyone to wash your damn hands. Dr. Joe also answers your healthcare questions on any topic. You can reach the doc on air at 904-549-2937, email firstcoastconnect@WJCT.org or visit firstcoastconnect.org to submit a comment.
Guest: Dr. Joe Sirven, Mayo Clinic neurologist and host of WJCT’s What’s Health Got To Do With It?
