How concerned should I be about avian flu?

H5N1 avian flu has now spread through dairy herds in 16 U.S. states. Close to 60 human cases have been reported in the U.S. and one here in Canada with a B.C. teen. Most have been caused through contact with infected animals, though a few sources are unclear. A new study in the journal Science says the virus might be just a single mutation away from more easily spreading between people. But infectious diseases specialist, Dr. Lynora Saxinger, says that while there’s no reason to panic, we need to take precautions and get any exposure to sick animals checked out.

Two Times The Cancer, Double The Strength: Stage 3C Breast Cancer & Lung Cancer

Sometimes the scariest monsters aren't under your bed—they're hiding behind your ribs. At 31, Christine Elliott found herself staring at a suspicious divot in her breast that would launch her into a battle with not just one, but two formidable opponents. From being a naturopathic devotee to embracing chemotherapy, her journey challenges the false dichotomy between traditional and alternative medicine. Christine candidly shares her experience with stage 3C breast cancer, the terrifying five-month limbo of an unidentified lung mass, and the paradigm shift that transformed her approach to healing. From vitamin C therapies to becoming a human light bulb during hyperthermia treatments, Christine's story reminds us that sometimes the path to healing isn't about choosing sides—it's about embracing what works, even if it challenges everything you once believed. Check out our previous episodes where we discuss breast cancer and lung cancer here and here. Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!

Experts say that frequent use of social media is harming teens’ health, and the Australian government recently passed a law banning it for kids under 16. Here in Canada, Quebec is debating whether to follow suit. Psychiatrist and UBC associate professor of medicine Dr. Shimi Kang says rather than an all-out ban, parents should talk with their kids and figure out a plan that’s right for them.
