Can blindness be cured? Hope is just around the corner, according to Dr. Gabriel Travis of the Jules Stein Eye Institute. "Breakthroughs in gene therapy will soon provide a cure for some genetic degenerative diseases," he says. Another tale of hope in Health Corner this week is the heart warming story of two brothers and the gift of a kidney between them. Then, hear the inspirational caregiver's story of amputee Debbie D'Amico who not only cares for herself, but also for her four children, three of whom are disabled. They are a truly amazing family. Next, Florida Perry Smith talks about the best anti-aging products - retinol, soy and helioplex(tm) - and how regular use can really reverse the signs of aging. Also, Todd Whitthorne advises you to reduce injury and maximize performance by choosing a sports shoe fit for your activity. Plus, kids ask Dr. Lisa why babies cry and Jill Repp gives the best advice on keeping sick kids entertained. ChefMD(tm) whips together delicious banana pancakes garnished with maple syrup and raspberries and loaded with fiber and antioxidants.
