Health - 25 September 2006

On Feb 1 I sprained my ankle badly. Didn't go to a doc about it (I could walk, so my dance prof said it was ok) until a month later when it seemed to get even worse (more painful, swelling wasn't going away). Diagnosis? Grade 2-3 sprain of the lateral ankle ligaments and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th metatarsals.

I was put in an aircast pneumatic boot (aka knee-high moon boot) for 6 weeks, from March to the very end of April. X-rays: no fractures. The swelling went down and so did the pain. Went to a chiro and physio for the ankle after, it felt nearly normal.

I am a dancer and am very fit, but now after every class, even after walking long distances, my ankle really ...not hurts, but aches. The pain is enough to wake me sometimes, or force me to sit. Its a deep, dull, ache all around the ankle joint. It is also very easy to sprain and swells readily now... Any ideas on why this is still a problem so many months later?

How can I talk to a corporate person at Ciba Vision to get help on my contact lenses?

They continue to send me lenses that don't match in color and size. The lab claims they have no control over what they send out.

My eyes are really weird lately........?

I sprayed perfume in my eyes about 2 1/2 weeks ago and they are just blurry. Not all the time. And not both of them at the same time...for the most part. Sometimes it will be the right eye. Sometimes the left. Sometimes neither are blurry. But I've gotten perfume in my eyes before...it just never took this long to get my vision totally restored so I'm pretty sure this isn't because of perfume. Does anyone have ANY clue what could be up? What I should do? I'm a hypochondriac annnnnd I'm freaking myself out that it's like eye cancer which my mom says it isn't. Buuuut is it possible it could be??? I'm really freaked out. Whenever something happens to my eyes...I just freak. HELP!

Are you aware of friendly bacteria and their sources ?

Disease and its treatment ?

There is a simple alternative philosophy concerning disease and its treatment. While Scienitest are still discovering that bad bacteria is a part of diseases that are considered of unknown origin such as Crohns and IBS, there is also another opposite positive side to bacteria.

Most of us, don't realize that there are 'friendly bacteria" (not all bacteria is bad) the same kind found in yogurt and cheeses that help the body digest food.

An imbalance or contamination of this intestinal flora may cause IBS, Crohns, MS, Depression, Schizophrenia and even Cancer.

Problem is that when you are given too much anti-biotics, some of the friendly bacteria is killed making people anemic and sick due to a lack of proper chemcials.

BAck to the question, are you aware of 'friendly bacteria" and their sources ?

Does anybody know of a home remedy for cracked heels?

I heard recently that it's caused by fungus. Can it be cured systemically the same way fungus toenails are cured with Lamisil?

I was hoping someone out there knows of a home remedy that works.

Thanks!

Is the profit in drugs concealing the simple and easy treatments to disease ?

There is a simple alternative philosophy concerning disease and its treatment.

Problem is that when you are given too much anti-biotics, some of the friendly bacteria is killed making people anemic and sick due to a lack of proper chemcials.

Where you awaer of what are called probiotics, or friendly bacteria and do you think that enough is being done to address this positive side to bacteria ?
