Health - 7 June 2006

Some in my family are loving his books and touting them. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get them to stop listening to his advice. Obviously, eating more fruits and veggies is good for you, cutting down on red meat, refined sugar and alcohol all do wonders. That much you don't need to pay $29.99 to figure out.

Can a qualified medical person denounce specific claims please?
(ie: Insulin is BAD for diabetics, candida yeast causes most heart attacks, shellfish are always bad for you, saccharin causes most cancers, antibiotics should not be taken unless you are near death, magnetic bracelets will prevent )

Is switiching topical medicines ok?

About 6 months ago i noticed i was getting toe nail fungus, so i started using a topical liquid for it that you can get over the counter, well it hasn't really been working too well, and I heard that tea tree oil works for that sort of thing. So is it ok to switch right away to the tea tree oil? Or will It not work right? Because I know that if you take medication orally, you should wait like 24hrs. before using another kind. What do you think? Can you please help? Thank You.

Is there a way to curb the "mooning" side effect of Prednisone?

Mooning is the rounding of the face. It's a separate side effect, not caused by weight gain, so diet won't help it.

feverfew for migraines...?

I've read a couple of questions here concerning feverfew as an aid to stopping migraines. Just want to add that for anyone who suffered crippling migraines like I used to that trying feverfew is worth a shot. I used to get the worst debilitating migraines almost weekly(sensitivity to light, throwing up etc.) I started taking feverfew daily and after about 6 weeks the migraines stopped coming and I've only had one migraine in a year and a half time span. It worked for me and may just work for you : )))
