Health - 19 October 2006

a very close friend if mine was diagnosed a few months ago with herpes. SHe was very upset and questioned how she would ever be able to tell a guy without being rejected. I told her to just give herself time to adjust. Recently she started seeing this guy and slept with him after a week. She said it was protected and that her doctor told her she is only contagious if she is having an outbreak . SHe has never had a an outbreak as of yet. Anyway the point is that she never told the guy she has herpes and they are really hitting it off. I told her when she does tell him tell him she just found out. Still I think she was wrong not ot tell but Ido not want to judge. Who knows what anyone would have done in the same situation what do you think.

I have been on Seasonale birthcontrol pill for about three months now. I have recently gotten my first cycle since being on this pill and with the normal menstural discharge was what looked like a LARGE (about the size of a golf ball) piece of tissue/skin. I have no history of being pregnant, so I do not believe it would be anything in relation to that. My cycles have been a bit on the heavier side for about a year now. Can anyone give me any insight in what may be going on and what, if anything, I should do? Thank you!

I have an earache and can't afford to go to the hospital when I know what is wrong. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a simple remedy that I could do at home to give me some relief. Please, if you have any information let me know. Thanks.

For the last couple of days, my triceps have been twitching uncontrollably, for a few moments at a time. It's not painful, or anything like that, but I was just wondering if anyone might know why they may be doing that. Just for peace of mind.

Is the profit motive in 'treating disease' ignoring some basic truths about 'parasitic' causes?

Do you recall the history of 'ulcers', well they were falsely believed to be caused by 'stress' until they found a bacteria that casued them.

Well one person I know very, very well spent some 16 years suffering from 'intestinal problems' labelled IBS, or Crohns only to find literature that suggested that this 'illness' or symptoms were caused by a 'parasite' of sorts; giardia is the most common.

Logic would suggest that even common bacteria like giardia require 4-5 tests to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that you don't have this common bacteria.

If you do, and the tests can't find it, then you will suffer symptoms from anemia, depression, and a whole host of other symptoms.

The question is a simple one, is today's medicine so concerned about the profit motive in treating symptoms rather than a simple cause of many illnesses like Cancer , depression, Schizophrenia; parasites?

Sometimes I take two, or three Viactivs instead of one because they're so darn tasty.

Is this dangerous for me? What are the negative effects?
