i think that i'''''''m tired of hearing the whites always giving us the statistics of those living with aids in africa,but i'v never heard any stuff about it in europe or america or even asia.when a black is traveling to europe we undergo series of test (hiv etc) to my own view i think the popullation of those living with aids ineurope,america or even asia is at an alarming rate speaking of people sleeping with animals,the rate of divorce cases and the high level of indecency.

Why are simple treatment for Crohn's, I.B.S., ignored ?

Cause is probably a bacterial infection, ( key word parasites) treatment is what people have used for centuries to treat such common infections such as giardia. (By the way it took me 16 years of suffering to be told by a wise doctor that one test to rule out giardia is not enough, and the testing is not very reliable )

Seems my limited research, the common sense approach to 'intestional problems' strongly suggests an infection, easily treated with ( a wide spectrum anti-biotic), anti-parasitic herbs such as ginger, wormwood, grapefruit seed extract, together with fiber and probiotics, ie friendly bacteria to help digest the food.

So why are all these simple treatments being ignored ?

Why are we spending millions, on funding to raise funding for research and then spending billions to find a 'pharmaceutical cure', when the obvious simple cause and effects are being ignored...?

I've been thinking about getting one of those leg rest pillows, and they cost from $40 to $90. I'm young (early 20's), and I already have a couple of both varicose and spider veins (it runs in the family), and my legs ache a lot. I'm not overweight, and I don't stand for long periods of time. I've tried sleeping with just regular pillows under my feet/legs, but it's uncomfortable and my feet fall off. Should I get on of those leg rests? Does anyone use one and it's helping? If you do, is it worth it, and any recommendations on the brand and type? Anything else I can do to prevent leg pain/veins (not treat)?

(This is actually a serious question.) I have about a dozen or so of these bright red bumps that are insanely itchy!! They look almost like bug bites but if I go to scratch them, they burn. I've tried, hydrocortisone cream, antihistamines, homeopaths, peppermint oil, lotions...NOTHING seems to work.

Oh, if it matters any, they are located underneath, and in between my boobs. Wearing a bra is MISERABLE. This has been going on for 4 LOOOONNNNGG days.

Thanks for your help!!

I've felt crummy for the past 8 years or so. I'm 23 and in the last year have gained about 40 lbs - no change in diet or routine. I'm always tired-sometimes downright exhousted, always feel slightly nauseated, thirsty, lately I've had to pee alot more than I used to, I get flash headaches (gone within 30 seconds) and have heartburn about every other day, to a point I have to pop a couple tums which is losing its effect. My dad is a type II diabetic controlled by pills.

I've gone to the doctore several times because of the way I feel thinking maybe I have mono or something and they always just tell me to take vitamins and excercise. I'm exercising at least every other day now but no change yet.

Should I wait a few more months and see if I begin to feel better?

I feel stupid asking this on Yahoo! Answers but my parents think I'm a hypocondriac (from always trying to figure out why I feel like crap) and I hate going to the doctor...

Ugh, help??

I have been having reoccuring horrible stomach cramps for like 4 days now. They happen at random times of the day. It feels kinda like I'm being stabbed with a sword. And no it has nothing to do with my period. I also get very weak, shaky and dizzy along with the stomach problems. What could be the caus eof this? I would only like answers from doctors, or people educated in the medical field. Thankyou.

My 3 year old daughter was raped by a 10 year old neighbor boy. His parents are telling people that he was only playing doctor and that we are blowing this out of proportion. Did your doctor ever pull his pants down and stick his penis in your private area or in your mouth???? What do you think? Is this "normal" 10 year old behavior?

We reported this to all the appropriate authorities and the child partially confessed, but it baffles me that his parents think that this is acceptable behavior! We go to trial in November!

I am about 3 days late and I have been having cramps for those 3 days. I'm hoping that I will get it soon. Has anyone had cramps for all those days and eventually got it? I took one pregnancy test on the first day and it was negative.
