Dr Xand’s Con or Cure: Episode 6 airs Tonight on BBC One
The astonishing true story of a woman who can detect the odour of Parkinson’s disease. Joy, now 72 years old, realised she had a superpower when she detected her husband’s terminal illness just by smelling him. Now she’s collaborating with doctors to find ways to spot signs of disease sooner.
And there’s that horrible story of how a neurologist’s misdiagnosis of patients led to the recall and reevaluation of thousands of people. Janelle initially saw Dr. Michael Watt for help with her headaches, but she eventually ran away from his care after six months and multiple unneeded, invasive surgeries. Sadly, many more patients did not fare as well.
In addition, those who are exploiting the NHS by reselling unused prescription drugs. It’s a risky venture with high potential rewards.
And the hype surrounding water intake. How important is it to drink eight glasses of water daily? Does alcohol dehydrate you, and do caffeinated drinks and tea have the same effect?
