Although this isn’t on the front page it still grabbed my attention in the health section. I find that my eye is naturally drawn to things that have personally affected me. My freshman year of college I was notified that my friend from high school had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. My first reaction was “people my age can get cancer?” This article outlined how doctors and nurses in Thailand are seeking innovated new ways to treat cervical cancer. The answer is: Vinegar. Doctors are treating patients with house hold vinegar to help rid women of cervical cancer. The new procedure is a lot less expensive than that of your typical pap smear helps poorer countries like Thailand fight disease.
