A new film about the healing power of music shows how people with Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases can be ‘awakened’ by simply listening to songs from their past. Get ready to cry.
Having a bad day? We can fix that.
There’s a new video making the rounds right now, and it’s pretty much guaranteed to make you feel better about being alive. We don’t want to oversell it, but if you have a heart, this will warm it.
The six-minute video — which is actually a clip from a new documentary, Alive Inside, about the power of music to “awaken” the minds of people with Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases — revolves around an elderly man named Henry, who has been in a nursing home for over a decade with seizures and memory loss.

Unrivalled control of a robotic arm has been achieved using a paralysed woman’s thoughts, a US study says.
Jan Scheuermann, who is 53 and paralysed from the neck down, was able to deftly grasp and move a variety of objects just like a normal arm.
Brain implants were used to control the robotic arm, in the study reported in the Lancet medical journal.
Experts in the field said it was an “unprecedented performance” and a “remarkable achievement”.

An experimental “Trojan-horse” cancer therapy has completely eliminated prostate cancer in experiments on mice, according to UK researchers.
The team hid cancer killing viruses inside the immune system in order to sneak them into a tumour.
Once inside, a study in the journal Cancer Research showed, tens of thousands of viruses were released to kill the cancerous cells.
Experts labelled the study “exciting,” but human tests are still needed.

Men look set to have a one in two chance of developing cancer in their lifetime, UK experts predict.
The increase to 50 out of 100, up from the current 44 in 100 chance, is largely down to people living longer – age is the biggest cancer risk factor, says Cancer Research UK.
The cancers set to increase the most in men within the next 15 years are bowel, prostate and skin (melanoma).
But more will survive cancer, thanks to better screening and treatments.

More people fear getting cancer than Alzheimer’s and heart disease combined, according to research from the MetLife Foundation.
For half of all men and a third of all women in the United States, that fear will come true. But it doesn’t have to be that way, says David Agus, MD, world-renowned oncologist and author of the best-selling book The End of Illness.
Agus, who was on the team of doctors that treated Steve Jobs, said he believes we can win the war on cancer — but not the way we’re fighting it now.
“We’ve made almost no impact on making people live longer with cancer,” he says in an interview for Daily Dose With Jillian Michaels, noting that the death rate is down only 8 percent over the past six decades.

Adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet won’t cure rheumatoid arthritis, but it just might help relieve some of your worst symptoms, like joint pain and stiffness. Omega-3 fatty acids are called essential fatty acids because your body needs them but can’t make them. That means it’s up to you to make sure they’re part of your diet. Shortchange yourself, and you could experience memory loss, memory loss, and even depression.

Under-detected “mini-strokes” cause brain damage, result in cognitive impairment, and dementia, says a new study.
Chances are if you’re a senior managing your health, you’ve already had a conversation with your doctor about stroke risk. While many patients know the warning signs of stroke — slurred speech, weakness on one side of the body, coordination problems, double vision, and headaches — health care providers often fail to educate patients about their risk for silent or “mini-strokes,” which can cause progressive, permanent damage and lead to dementia.
