  1. Take two spritzes of deer antler spray and call me in the morning

    I've used deer antler spray for two days now, and I've rarely felt better, though I do find myself with an overwhelming urge to grind my itchy noggin against big birch trees, and last night, as someone pulled into the driveway, I just suddenly froze in the high beams.

  4. Unemployment linked to increased risk of heart attacks

    As if the lost income weren't enough, unemployment appears to increase the risk of heart attacks.

  9. TV not always a healthy channel for advice

    Your family doctor doesn't work with a teleprompter. And there wasn't a live studio audience the last time you put on a hospital gown &mdash; thankfully. Television is great for sports, reality shows and reruns of "The Big Bang Theory," but if you're getting your health information from TV, you might not be as well-informed &mdash; or as healthy &mdash; as you could be.

  11. Hooked on acid reflux treatment?

    A welter of medications sold over the counter and&nbsp;by prescription&nbsp;can spell fast relief from the churning&nbsp;discomfort of acid reflux and heartburn, and the class of drugs known as proton-pump inhibitors&nbsp;has grown powerfully popular with Americans. But the watchdog group Public Citizen on Tuesday&nbsp;asked the U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration to warn Americans that these drugs can be habit-forming and carry a wide range of other dangers.

  12. Antidepressants in primary care: Is this how to treat depression?

    Antidepressants, now the third-most commonly prescribed class of drugs in the United States, are routinely offered to patients with vague complaints of fatigue, pain and malaise but who are not classified as suffering from a mental disorder by the physician who&nbsp;recommends the treatment, says a new study. And among primary care provider as well as specialists who are not psychiatrists, the practice of prescribing these medications without diagnosing depression is rising steeply, <a title="Health Affairs abstract" href="http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/30/8/1434.abstract" target="_blank">the study</a> finds.
