Alternative Medicine - November 2006

I asked a question this morning about whether people should be allowed to tell people on this board to quit chemo and try alternative medications, or if it was a dangerous practice that should be banned. A couple responders claimed that these treatments do work, but when I challenged them to show me some scientific evidence, nobody did. Can anyone show me evidence these treatments are effective cures?

I've seen dozens of people on these boards recommend to people who have serious diseases like cancer to stop taking chemo or other conventional treatment and start using herbs or vitamins for a "cure." This kind of stuff is flat out dangerous, people may actually listen and quit their therapy to try some alternative practice that doesnt work and die. Does yahoo need to step up and crack down on stuff like this?

I asked a pharmacist for a sleeping pill without medication, and he said, that benadryl is just fine as any other (and cheaper)...but my parents do not approve of it - they say its not good to take it. I'm only taking it for a month till I get back to my sleeping schedule.
(I'm only taking 2 tablets a day)
Details:
Benadryl: Allergy & Sinus Headache
Acetaminophen, diphenhydramine HCI
and phenylephrine HCI caplets
Pain reliever, Antihistamine, Nasal decogestant
*Does not contain Pseudoephedrine

I have an infected tooth and was wondering about something. This morning I drank like 2 or 3 cups of organic green tea. I also take St. John's Wart and fish oil. Well anyway, I went to the ER for an infected teeth and they gave me Penicillin. Is it ok to mix these together. Please don't ask me to call the doctor, she really didn't help me to much.

My mother and my brother have yeast infections, my brother's is moderate, my mother's is severe, and it is genetic, since my grandparents on my mother's side both had it severe as well.

My mother has tried everything for almost a decade now, but nothing has worked at all, and I mean NOTHING, not OTC drugs, not Acidophilus yogurt or pills, not creams, not even all of the general precautions for people with yeast infections.

They both have the Candida Albicans yeast strain, and my mother's case is extremely rare, because she is allergic to all antibiotics and can't take any natural or manmade drugs or ointments because EVERYTHING burns her in her women's area.

My brother has it in his eye so bad that he can't focus at all sometimes and no drugs have helped him either.

Any help will be appreciated, but info from people who had or still have this problem and defeated it with a non-standard method would be best.

Thanks in advance for any help!
