Would you drop $10,000 a year
Thanks to advances in fighting HIV/AIDS over the last decades, these diseases are no longer the death sentences they once were — and some drugs offer the chance to protect against infection in the first place.

Would you drop $10,000 a year to stop yourself from getting HIV?

Thanks to advances in fighting HIV/AIDS over the last decades, these diseases are no longer the death sentences they once were — and some drugs offer the chance to protect against infection in the first place. Considering the huge price associated with these pills, would it make sense to do so?

Vitamin B-6 may help people remember their dreams

Tired of waking up in the morning with nothing you can use to bore your co-workers or classmates? Sick of restful sleep unburdened by the constant thought of waking life? A lot of rumors, and one study, indicate that Vitamin B-6 might be for you.Although supposedly we dream every night, the substance of these dreams is lost. This makes sense, in a way.

Recalling a dream should be as hard as recalling on of the random thoughts you've had in the last hour. Then again, dreams are more Read more >>

Hope for cancer patients whose suffering can no longer be eased by morphine
