Diseases & Conditions - 27 June 2007

I work 8 to 10 hours a day on my feet. I was born with a condition that caused the flesh on my right foot to be more sensitive and thinned than my left foot. I get horrible blisters on my right foot when over worked. I have tried wearing double socks, covering the areas with bandaids, bandages, comfortable shoes...even all of the above at once.

If you can't think of anything to help prevent these blisters, what can I do to heal them? Is there a home remedy, other than a doctor or expensive creams?

When I mean natural, I mean a way to cure it without going to the doctor or medicines. I heard that peroxide helps. I have the toothpaste: Colgate Whitening with baking soda and peroxide. So if I rubbed some of the toothpaste onto the areas where I twitch, will it might stop twitching? It's got peroxide in it..... IF that doesn't help, what can? (plz don't say I have to go the doctor, that excuse gets old)

I recently quit smoking and I'm very proud of myself because it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Now that I think I'm in the clear from going back to it, I'm wondering if my lungs will undue the damage I have done to them and how long it will take. I smoked for about 19 years.

My doctor's nurse tells me that my x-ray is substantially different from previous x-rays. My history of cancer is uterine. I have been previously diagnosed with asthma and "minor" emphysema.

Are you aware that today's medical profession is largely controlled by the drug industry- they sponsor research (which has a strong tendency to find favorableresults far more often than independent research) they sponsor symposiums, medical universities continuing education for practicing physicians they have an army of highly trained sales reps armed with PSUEDO SCINTIFIC LITERATURE painting the drug companies wares in the most glowing light.


And of course there are the freebies which range from logo-bearing office knick knacks to free dinners to paid vacations at resorts. Basically modern medicine revolves around a drug dominated culture Doctors are carefully conditioned and MANIPULATED by drug companies for the companies OWN FINANCIAL BENEFIT NOT FOR THE PATIENTS!

As in any profession ONLY A SMALL FEW doctors will step outside of the square see what is REALLY going on and rise above the rest of the pack




Are you aware of this?

It is very hard to word this correctly but I will try. I am aware that cold sores/fever blisters of the mouth are caused by the herpes simplex virus. If a person has had a cold sore, but never any symptoms anywhere else, then are they considered by the medical field to have an STD? Even if there are no sores anywhere near the genital area and the virus was not transmitted sexually? STD's come with a horrible stigma and it doesn't seem fair that someone with a cold sore should have to carry this stigma with them, but I know that healthcare and public opinion are rarely "fair." It's my foster mother so it's important for me to know. It's hard being the child of someone with an STD. It's enough to make someone feel dirty and diseased.

freederm works a treat but still i get spots, i think its the food i'm eating, something that triggers it off.
is it possible some sort of infection in my blood stream can do this even if it aint a reaction from the food?. i've never really heard of an allergy causing spots but is it true?
