if you have osteoathritis you over load your blood stream with unusable food particules,if you will stop doing that, and totally eat only whole natural foods, your body will heal it self, in a few weeks at most a few months and your pain wil go away, after telling this to people door to door for twenty years,doing sells work, and since I was nineteen .when I figured it all out, I KNOW as much as I KNOW there is a GOD, that this is true, of course if your cartilage matrix is worn down to the bone, it wont grow back,what can it hurt to stop while flour products, sweets especially chocolates, and red meat, for a little while?try it. you will like the results, I promise.

my aunt and uncle both smoke 2 or 3 packs a day. they have 3 children. 2 out of 3 have learning disabilities. the family rarely any money because of the nicotine addiction mixed with a dunkin dounuts addiction. they need money to fix theyre house but no one will give it to them because they will spend it on cigarettes. so they dont have enough money to afford any treatment because i highly doubt either of them will use the patch or chew the gum. i really worry about them because they are my godparents and theyre kids are at risk too. so if you have any ideas or know anything that works please help.

I've heard that self-masturbation is a healthy activity. However, I've also read that diseases like HPV (the one with warts) and others are caused by skin-to-skin contact during sex: the infected skin of one-person rubs against the skin of the other person and transfers the virus. So, just out of curiosity, can't your hand (if it happens to have the virus on it...but not necassarily infected by it) transmit the disease.

Or what if a person's really horny and start rubbing themselves on and humping, I dunno, use your imagination: germs are everywhere: can't they possibly get a std?

Basically, can virgins get STDs (except crabs 'cause they can be transmitted by sharing of underwear...gross) if only engaging in self-masturbation?

I know, it sounds stupid, but I'm really curious. Hmm...


Thanks.

Alright. Here are my symptoms:

- Runny nose
- Stuffy nose
- Warm cheeks and forehead, no fever
- Dizziness
- Eating two and a half times as much as I normally do (started when I began to take BCPs [ Loestrin Fe 24] or whatever it's called)
- Breast soreness
- Period is whacky still, despite BCPs

For those whom don't know, BCPs are Birth Control Pills.

I have had sex within the last two months, if anybody was going to ask about it.

So, what's wrong with me, exactly?

An 81-yr old female relative has slightly reddened, raised whelps on the inside of her bottom lip. She's had a biopsy by a specialist, had treatment for dry mouth by dentist, but they don't know what it is. She says it is very painful, and doctors won't give her any pain medicine, tho she is in good health otherwise, and has never had a problem with abusing meds or taking paid meds in past. They give no reason for not giving something to relieve her pain. She was an active woman, never sickly. Has taken to her bed. Very unusual for her. Family has no explanation for it except she says it is so painful, no relief, worried about it. What are some possibilities?! Have looked on Google, but not found it yet. She has dentures, but this isn't just irritation from that.

I had surgery over four years ago, and I am now getting a great deal of pain, discomfort, and belching. I have been told that I should have surgery again, to remove the little (gallbladder) pouch that was left after surgery. What's up with that? I can't even eat anymore, because it's too painful, and the burping is very embarrassing!

Hi,

I've had stomach pains for awhile, sometimes even after I eat. Its a dull ache that turns into intense short sharp pains, and in a few minutes I will be in the bathroom having diarrhea. I used to think it was milk and being lactose intolerant, but I sometimes get diarrhea and intense stomach pain even with having no trace of dairy!

I don't have it everyday, but jsut about everyday my stomach either hurts or feels uncomfortable.

I'm also very weak and tired a lot.

I went to my doctor, and she ordered a blood test. But i have a stupid very intense fear of them, and CANNOT do them even with valium! I even cry! I feel ashamed for acting that ridiculous..she was only going to test for diabetes, thryoid, and anemia I think

Anyway, does this sound like stomach cancer at all? And how do they test for it?

I'm only 14, by the way if that matters.

I just wanted some peoples opinions if it even sounds close to cancer.

Thanks!

Everyday I worry about things A LOT! I can not go to sleep unless my room is clean. I can't watch tv or go to sleep unless I know where all of my things are. If I am missing something I HAVE to get up and look for it. Do you think that I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)? How can I get help without going to a doctor? If I don't have it what do you think I have?

He has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and they have already called in hospice. He is getting weaker by the day, We need to make arrangements so we can be closer to my husbands mom when this does happen. I know all things are in Gods hands, but any one out there that has experienced this, I would surely appreciate any information. We live 4 hours away from them.

I am a Pet/Ct specialist and have seen the changes this test can allow. It seems it is going to take lawsuits to get doctors to treat their patients properly. I talk to doctors to get them to use this proven and accurate test and they only want to use whatthey were trained in medical school often greater than twenty years earlier.

I am in love with a wonderful man, but he has a lab that I am very allergic to. He carries the dog in his car, then when I ride in it I get sick from my allergies. He thinks I just hate his dog, and I love all animals.

I am a Critical Care RN and at work had an episode of sudden onset tachycardia, facial flushing (I felt like I was having a hot flash), and tachypnea (rr was 30-40's) this lasted for several hours and I was seen in the ER where I work. My CT was negative for any overt PE but my D-dimer was 5.0 (5000) I have Leventhal-Stein (also known as PCOS). I was treated within the last two weeks for an apparent URI (cough, wheeze, sob, fever, clogged sinuses) I had gall bladder surgery 4 months ago (laparascopic removal but d-dimer usually returns to normal within 3 months even for CABG). They ran a thyroid panel to see if I was having issues there (no results yet), but will thyroid or hormonal issues elevate a d-dimer to that extent? I take glucophage every day (1000 mg)(but its not a medication known to artificially elevate the d-dimer). I see pts every day with many other issues with only slightly elivated d-dimers. I am personally at a loss and are concerned that much of the respiratory symptoms that I had may have been PE rather than URI. Any thoughts? Also How long will PE's show up for on CT?

The brush was for cleaning the BBQ grill, i picked it up and it jabbed me in the thumb causing immediate bruising and just a pinch of blood. I scrubbed it with soap and water and soaked it in peroxide. I have had a tetanus shot with in the last 10 years, should I still seek medical attention?
