Googling your records

This is going to be a personal decision for people to consider.  You can now store your health records with Google.  It rolled out google health in beta form today.  They are saying there will be no advertising and that they have partnered with others including pharmacies to help you manage your medical records.  Since they are not a health care provider they are not subject to HIPPA.  Investigate this carefully folks.

Better sleep and fewer hot flashes

This looks like it could be too good to be true. A stellate ganglion block is an injection, not a surgery.  A stellate-ganglion block is a numbing of the star-shaped collection of nerves in the neck that is thought to affect both temperature and sleep control. A new study published in The Lancet Oncology reports that breast cancer survivors who are treated with a stellate-ganglion block can achieve long-term relief from hot flushes and sleep problems.
