My mom has stage 4 colon cancer. It has spread to her lungs, liver, and bones. Chemotherapy has not helped. I have heard of natural remedies. I know that stage 4 is very very hard to cure, but are there any possible ways to help it at all? Any natural oils, pills.. ANYTHING please help. Thank you.

Every year about this time, my eyes start to itch like crazy, along with my ears and throat. But mostly my eyes. It drives me insane beacuse eye drops make it worse! I also get sneeze attacks. Why? Is it hay fever, and what is an in expensive way to deal with this? I don't have health insurance, so over the counter stuff is the route I have to go. I just don't know what to buy. I have been taking my kids over the counter allergy medcine.

Growing up my blood pressure would be normal, maybe a little high with the top number in the 130-140's. well ever since last year when I was hospitalized and lost a LOT of blood my blood pressure has been low, like the top number really never goes over 115 and it gets to 115 when i am really moving around. a normal reading will be in the 90's-100 over 50's to 60's but heres the problem... my pulse will be in the 80's to 90's! i know that is bad because when i was in the hospital my bp would be LOW like how it is now, and pulse well over 140... can someone please tell me WHY this is bad, and if it is STILL bad with a reading of 95/50 pulse 90

My husband had a medical checkup this morning and was found to have a heart abnormality, with a strong possibility that he had an arterial blockage. The cardiologist explained that he could have either an angiogram or a ct scan in order to investigate the condition further, but recommended an angiogram. His reasoning was that if a blockage was found during this procedure, then an angioplasty (sp?) could be performed at the same time.

My husband is only 41 years' old, has never had any health problems, is not overweight and exercises regularly. This condition was only picked up because of the checkup.

What are the risks of an angiogram? Is it better to have a ct scan instead?. What are the risks of an angioplasty? Will he have any problems recovering from either of these procedures?

If he has the angioplasty, does this mean he will not have a heart attack in the future?

Does anyone have some advice for us?
