  2. Treating menopause symptoms

    Every woman will experience menopause, some in the normal course of aging and some before. It can bring on a host of symptoms in addition to hot flashes. But there are things that women can do, from improving their diet and exercising to finding the right treatment, explains Dr. Rakhi Gupta, a gynecologist at the Center for Women's Health at Good Samaritan Hospital. She answers some common questions about this life change.

  4. Quitting smoking is tough, but not impossible

    Many people pick quitting smoking as their New Year's resolution. But if quitting smoking was easy, most smokers would have already done it. Tobacco is highly addictive and the process isn't easy, but quitting is possible for those who really are ready and are linked to methods that work for them, says Christine Schutzman, a certified tobacco treatment specialist who leads a free Freshstart smoking cessation program at the Cancer Institute at St. Joseph Medical Center.

  5. On medical marijuana, Maryland should go slow

    With any new medical treatment, the primary consideration for doctors is the evidence &mdash; how effective is it, what are the side effects, what are the indications, what is the appropriate dose, and so on. That should go for lawmakers and regulators, too, even when it comes to the emotionally charged issue of medical marijuana. There is a mountain of anecdotal evidence suggesting cannabis is useful in treating pain, nausea and other symptoms of chronic disease, but there is precious little in the way of rigorous scientific study. That's why Maryland lawmakers should opt for a path toward legalizing medical marijuana that puts academic research ahead of wide availability.

  8. The power of light

    It doesn&rsquo;t look like much -- Janet Althen places what looks like a small flashlight with an inverted colored bulb on certain points of the body, holding it there for about 30 seconds -- but for Althen&rsquo;s patients, as well as a growing number of people around the world who are receiving the alternative treatment, light therapy has healing power.

  9. The power of sleep

    Are you tired, run-down, listless? The answer to your problem is probably not in a little brown bottle. It could be as simple as a good night&rsquo;s sleep. But for 45 million Americans, that&rsquo;s an elusive dream. Even worse, sleep deprivation, insomnia and untreated disorders such as sleep apnea are leading Americans down a slippery slope to early mortality, increasing their risk for obesity, stroke, hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular problems. And that&rsquo;s not even counting the danger of falling asleep at the wheel.

  10. The power of meditation

    To understand the impact meditation can have on the human mind, picture a glass of muddy water. If you stir it, the water stays cloudy and anything that might sink to the bottom is instantly sucked back into motion. But if you allow the glass to become still, slowly the dirt settles to the bottom and the water begins to clear.

  12. O'Brien's quixotic fight

    Recently, Cardinal-designateEdwin F. O'Brienwrote a stirring letter to all those who worship in the Baltimore Archdiocese, calling on their help to &quot;regain our religious freedom." The impassioned call to arms suggests the federal government has dealt a "heavy blow" to Catholics and has "cast aside" the First Amendment.
