My optometrist told me I have central heterochromia where the inner part of my iris is brownish and the rest of it is green. I have 20/20 vision and I've been reading up that it may be caused by toxin imbalances in the body that is genetic?
I'm joining the air force and they care quite a bit about your eyes and vision, so is there anything detrimental to your eyesight with this condition, or is it purely acidity in the stomach type stuff?

Would be nice to have some answers from people who work in this field, Thanks!

My friend has
- difficulty breathing
- Aching back bone
- She feels cold
- She just got phlegm [only today]

she's gone to check up for two times and both doctors and xray and blood test result said she is fine, but yet she suffer from these symptoms. I've known two people with same situation and yet it end up as lung cancer, somehow I'm terribly worried for her...If you know anything please tell me to tell her so she can ease a bit.

Or does it not matter? My work/school schedule really only allows me to exercise late in the day, and I was just wondering about it.

I am getting my soft palate reduction, adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy at the same time.

I have a couple of questions, i would rather have the general public address than the doctor. Because all the doctor can give me is statistics and 'rare' occassions.

Is bleeding of the throat prevalent after the surgery?
I heard i would not get my original voice back after the surgery, how true is this?
Would i lose weight, after the surgery?
How long would i have to go without solid food?
Should spicy food be avoided at all costs, after the surgery?
Would i be more prone to infections and allergies after the surgery?

I'm having this surgery because i have OSA - Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

2 days ago, I tripped and cut my left arm (4 inches long wound). 40 hours later, I decided to get a tetanus shot at the clinic. The doctor asked me to remove the band aid to have a look. At that time, the wound is already dried but not 100% sure. He then asked me to replace the band aid with a new one because its saturated with dried blood. He took a new band aid out of the drawer and open it. He was somewhat clumsy and i can see that he actually touched the sterilized part of the band aid several times before manage to place it on the wound properly.

Should I be worry that the doctor might have actually touched something or someone's else's blood before touching the bandaid and infect me with diseases like Hepatitis or HIV via the wound?

most sites say the natural waist is usually right on top of the belly button. What on earth is the natural waist?

Am i supposed to measure where the belly button is like when i'm measuring for jeans size, or do i measure at the part thats about 2 inches above the belly button which is 2 inches smaller? It also happens to be the smallest part of my body, but i'm still not sure which measurement to use

I have had these weird pod-like spots all over my body. I don't know what it is. Whenever i apply soap in it, it becomes a wound and it bleeds for sometime. I think these are pimples but pimples are supposed to be in the face (Or am i wrong about that?) They are all over my arms, legs and my chest! I need help..
