I would have a proposal for you if you do wish to proove your point, that is, that there is actually a scientific objection to the HIV causes AIDS model. There are 2 main points your claims do not address:

1- The HIV test is an accurate predictor of AIDS

2- HIV transmission is now hitting population which in general does not engage in recreational drugs, ie married women.

So to proove your point is right, that is either HIV does not exists/HIV is harmless, what I would propose is that a sample of say, 1000 people, agree to voluntarily receive an injection of untreated blood from a known HIV+ person which is shedding virus (ie not on ARV), and then agree to be tested for HIV periodically. We would then compare, among those who develop sustained HIV infection, how many will develop AIDS, with a sample HIV- (from this sample or outside) population.

Wouldn't this be correct scientific proof (appart from ethical issues, of course)?

I've had a painful, swollen, red bump (about the size of a mosquito bite) on my hip. It's spread slightly from the size of a dime to about the size of a half dollar. The red area is very warm. It doesn't look like an insect bite, and when I noticed it, I did not notice an insect anywhere near me. What could it be?

My 10yr old has just come home from school and a chair has fell off the desk and onto the bridge of her nose. It is a horrid bluey colour bump and looks quite raised. I have put a cold compress on it, is this all I should do?
Cheers.

This just started yesterday. His eyes are not red or watery. I ask him if his eyes hurt and he says no. He just keeps blinking really hard. It seems kind of like a tic. When I ask him why, he just says, "I don't know, Mommy."

I'd also prefer no 'herbal' or wonder-drug natural pills, thanks.

Any ideas appreciated and desperately needed.

I'm schooling now, and I know that when people think they've screwed up a test, they get upset and maybe shed some tears over it. But eventually, they snap out of it. In my case, it's like I'll keep worrying about the test to no end, and then I'll find even more mistakes (which sometimes may not even have existed) and I have to keep talking myself out of this mild depression I go into whenever I feel I've done bad on a test/ exam or just something I want.

For instance, I had a chemistry practical test two weeks ago, and for a whole week, I wouldn't stop worrying about it. In fact, I had to keep talking myself out of the depressed mood I'd go into, and eventually it became like a mantra whereI had to reassure myself that things would work out fine.

My friends all find me very stressed whenever certain important things roll around. It's like I just can't snap out if it.

Please help! If there's anything I can do, I'd do it because worrying excessively ruins my day completely!

If you had surgery for putting rod in your tibia and fibula, how many hours will you be kept in the post operative care room before you're shifted to your room?

How long does it take for a patient to usually wake up and his vital signs to be normal again.

What are these vital signs they are looking for?

How do I "deal" with or "help" my boyfriend who has helped me and dealt with me and my anxiety disorder for the past 8 months that we've been falling in love? I've had him keep up on his meds and make Dr. appt. to get more help but what do I do in our relationship to help? He gets paranoid sometimes and goes over the line. How do I talk to him about it? How do I get through to him?

For years, the doctors have told me my blood pressure is high. I monitor it at home with normal results. The cardiologist did a normal stress test and an echocardiogram four years ago. He states now he doesn't expect the results to be any different, but suggests a nuclear stress test. I am very leary of any injectables without sufficient cause. What are the real risks involved with complications?

I know with Hep B some people are infected, then the body clears the infection. If the body clears the infection, is there a possibility that there could be another 'breakout?' Or, at that point, if the body clears it indepedently, are you still at further risk for infection?

I have had maybe a total of 15-20 hours of sleep over the past 3 days.
I try going to bed to allow myself 8-9 hours of sleep because I can not wake up in time to get to work on time.

Taking sleeping pills makes me more groggy in the morning.
I have sonata for my insomnia.

I can not fall asleep at 10 when I lay die even though I am so tired. I try to wake up at 6:30/7 to get to work by 8, but normally I never wak up until 7:30.

I lay down at night and lay there and think oh wow I am tired I will fall asleep soon. 2 1/2 hours later, I may fall asleep only to get up 3 or 4 times that night.

What can I do?

I find swimming is a great excercise for fat burning as I can do it at a low intensity for an extended period of time. I'm not going to have access to a swimming pool for the next couple of weeks and was just wondering what other excericises i can do to burn fat. Is jogging any good? if so do i still want to do low intenisty for extended time?
