Melody had her hair cut by Karen Kinsman of Klip N' Kurl, seen above. Melody has seen family and friends go through chemotherapy and radiation treatments and it makes her sad to know they are sick. Donating her hair is Melody's way of helping out."I'm very proud of her," says mom Colleen. Below, Melody sports her new hairdo. (pho- tos/submitted) u—Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello Sometimes we can't avoid eating fast food. When we do, it's good to choose a veggie burger. It contains about 57 per cent fewer calories and a whopping 82 per cent less fat than traditional meat burgers and it tastes pretty good too. After adding al the trimmings, it's difficult to tell them apart. A good choice! There is erroneous information being passed around that touts "benefits" of drinking hydrogen peroxide. This can be very dangerous. Some peroxides come in strengths as high as 35 per cent and can cause serious harm to the stomach and intestine. Deaths have also occurred from this practice. Stay away from it. Melatonin can be useful in treating sleep -deprived persons. However, timing of the dose is quite important. It should be given when the body isn't producing melatonin naturally. This is during the day. A recent study found that taking the drug during the daytime often produced a better sleep at night. Melatonin is available without prescription in Canada. The interaction between grapefruit juice and some medications still seems to cause some confusion. It doesn't help to leave a couple of hours between juice and drug. Three days is better. How much juice will cause the reaction? About 250m111 cup). Huron Apothecary Ltd.
