'tis the rainy season and incidence of dengue fever, the mosquito-spread viral infection, is once again expected to rise. According to records, there were 200,415 cases in the Philippines in 2015 and the numbers are increasing. Should we be scared?

I was certainly relieved to know this because I thought dengue ... Continue Reading...
Healthy and happy with Fern-C kidz

Immunotherapy offers hope for cancer patients
Lung cancer and melanoma patients, particularly those in the advanced stages, can now explore a new option in treatment through a breakthrough called immunotherapy which has lesser known side effects than chemo.
