Can early detection of arthritis with thermography scans make an enormous difference in treatment? "Without a doubt," says Dr. Calvin Brown, rheumatologist at Rush University Medical Center. "We're doing fascinating high tech things that are helping us understand what causes arthritis," he says.

Later, Dr. Lisa speaks with Dr. John La Puma, physician, chef and author who shows us how food can be our best medicine. "What you eat can help reduce pain. Some foods can treat symptoms of osteoarthritis if you know which foods to eat and when to eat them," says Dr. La Puma.

In this Health Corner, we learn about a revolutionary deep brain stimulation surgery that is bringing relief to Parkinson's sufferers. Then, Alex Boylan visits Chef Todd Snyder at Krazy Kat's in Montchanin, Delaware where Todd sears venison with heirloom squash and brussel sprout leaves. Jill Repp gives parents positive tips on how to get kids organized. Plus, Florida Perry Smith on the soothing and invigorating effects of time-honored aromatherapy.
