01Ā Ā Christina Applegate learns she was misdiagnosed with MS
After years of infusions and MRIs, actress Christina Applegate's neurologist told her she does not have multiple sclerosis. She shared the news on her podcast last week, calling it "earth-shattering." She still has all the symptoms she started with and is back to searching for answers.
The misdiagnosis is not unusual. A Cedars-Sinai study found that nearly one in five patients referred to MS clinics with a prior diagnosis turned out not to have the disease. Some had been on medication for decades. The core problem is that there is no single test for MS, with doctors relying on a checklist of symptoms and MRI findings, and many of those signs overlap with migraines, lupus, and rarer autoimmune conditions.
02Ā Ā Trump administration clears path for psychedelic therapy for veterans
The White House is moving to let veterans with PTSD try psilocybin and MDMA under medical supervision. The proposal would create a pilot program at select VA hospitals, offering psychedelic-assisted therapy to veterans who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Right now, about 500,000 veterans are diagnosed with PTSD, and roughly a third of them do not improve with existing options like talk therapy and antidepressants. Early clinical trials on psilocybin (the compound in "magic mushrooms") have shown it can produce lasting relief after just a few sessions, possibly by helping the brain form new connections.

03Ā Ā More people are vaping who never smoked before
Vaping was supposed to be an exit ramp for smokers. The idea was that people already hooked on cigarettes could switch to something less harmful. But in Great Britain, more than a million people who vape now never smoked cigarettes at all. That number has nearly doubled in four years. Most of them are young, between 25 and 34.
The same pattern is showing up in the US. Cigarette use keeps dropping, but nicotine use is climbing. Research links vaping to serious lung damage, chronic respiratory symptoms, and a nearly doubled risk of breathing problems compared to people who never used nicotine.
