I'm currently 'testing' to see if I might be lactose intolerant or have a milk allergy. So I'm not eating any dairy for about 2 weeks. I talked to my doctor and she said this was okay. My question is, as far as flavor and texture, what is the differance between Soy milk, Rice milk and Lactose-free milk? If you can compare it to regular skim-milk that would be awesome. Thanks!

My mom was hospitalized in January with pneumonia, upon her stay at the hospital she contracted a staph infection. Within a few weeks of leaving the hospital she began having pain all through her body. About a month later when she finally got into the doctor, they ran some tests and discovered that she has rheumatoid arthritis. It just seems strange that she never had symptoms prior to being at the hospital, and now she's hurting all over every day. I'm afraid that it could've been a misdiagnosis, as she is cared for by the VA and they missed my stepdads non hodgekins lymphoma (which thank god was caught at another hospital, thanks to his persistance ) I'm just curious if there are any other conditions that could have been overlooked, or If there are any treatments herbal remedies or anything she can try. I feel so bad for her cause shes active and can't do things that she wants to do. She also is experiencing anxiety attacks from the stress. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Recently, I read that HPV can cause oral cancer. I have had oral sex with 2 different women, one who never had vaginal sex before, and the other one had vaginal sex with only one guy. I know that I am a hypochondria, but would it be a small risk for me to have gotten HPV, and for it then to cause oral cancer? Are there any HPV test for men?

I have HSV 1 in both areas. But yesterday I noticed a wart pop up on my forskin. So i assuming my ex gave me HPV as well as herpes. so anyways something don't look right. The foreskin to me looks little darker than usual. I am on H202 therapy and olive leaf extract which has eliminated my outbreaks but since wart popped looks like the skin lil darker (uncircumsized) Can any one fill me in, should I be concerned.

I kno it has gotten dark when I have my outbreak but when healed it was pink. But i think i was having at outbreak other day and nothing popped up because I applied DSMo cream and drank my h202 with water.

do you pop it or do you let it pop by itself?
if you need to pop it, do you wait for the "right time" or do you pop it as soon as you see it?

thank you.

I was watching Dr. G and she was talking about a condition when your heart will grow additional veins for blood flow if one of the major veins gets clogged or is not flowing properly. Does anyone know the name of that condition?

I went to see a gastroenterologist who suspected I had an ulcer. He performed an endoscopy and found nothing. He's now recommending an abdominal ultrasound because his next guess is that my problems stem from my gallbladder. I've already had a CT scan which showed nothing. So what is the ultrasound going to show that the CT scan didn't?
