i did research, found that people who are allergic to avocado, latex, and chestnuts are at risk of becoming allergic to latex. is it because the species of tree is closely related?

My husband has high blood pressure and I want to know what are some ways that he can naturally lower it. I have heard of apple cider vinegar but am wondering is this the fastest safest way and how much do you take and how many times a day?

I have allergies in the fall and spring, and it makes me miserable! In school, I sit there with my nose running and my eyes watering so much that it blurrs my vision - yet we are not allowed to take pills at school (they are considered "drugs"). What should I do mascara is running down my face as I am typing!! Everyone thinks that I am crying but no one else at my school knows what this feels like! I hate these stupid allergies!! What should I do?

In Africa where I am now people who get HIV get it becausae they are promiscuous. If they are treated, they live longer and are still promiscuous, thus kill a few more other people before they die. If untreated, their bodies get weak and the die sooner thus sparing others of HIV infection. What is the most moral thing to do/ Treat or not treat?

As a sex worker who knows people's attitudes, I would not treat, if the ideas was to reduce infection. In South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Swaziland , etc, the majority of adults are positive and the few that are still negative are on their way to infection. Its a matter of time. Zimbabwe says no new infection, but that is just because the nation of those that are promiscuous is now saturated.

This has been happening for years, but I've never been concerned about it. Sometimes when I take a breath, I get a sharp, localized pain in one of my lungs. It feels as if one of my alvioli is stretching (as if it didn't release the air from the previous breath). I'm not the only one who has experienced this. What actually causes this? Since it happens average twice a week, should I be concerned? For my girlfriends mother - is it genetic?

If your diabetic, what type of diabetes do you have? And what medication do you take? how do you control your illness?

I take 44units of mixtard 30 insulin in mornings and 10 novorapid insulin at dinner time and at 10pm i take 30 units of insulatard and if i am high at that time i take novorapid aswell, seperatly.

I have type 1 diabetes. My diet consists of wholemeal bread,tuna,salads,pasta,rice,meat,fruit,vegetables and food like that i also sometimes have lentils and my levels are normally fair if i don't over do on the sugary sweets when im low.

I found that my levels everytime i go to spain are so much better then when living in england i walk a lot as you have to when your in spain on holiday (to get to places,shops,mall,etc.) also i found the hot weather helped. Everytime i ate about an hour-3hrs after i was walking somewhere so that probably helped out a lot.
I could have an ice cream
my levels were really stable rarely went over 10 mmo/l and the average lvl is highes

My husband was sent to college by WSIB for a work back injury.
While at college he twisted his leg and tore his knee. He has difficluty walking and has been at home unable to walk without pain. so his walking is very limited. He is waiting to see a specialist but had a MRI done which show the tear. WSIB is refusing to see this as a claim. Who should be responsible for this? Renumeration for injury and ongoing WSIB pay which they are refusing to pay. Thank-you for any help. Bambi V
