veruca cured by dog!?
My son has a big problem with verucas and a pal of mine had the same problems, he told me that after trying all the pharmacy stuff he ended up having it cured by his dog when he let it lick it.

Is this true and should I let his dog try?

My Dad is 55 years old and just this morning went to the hospital for fear of a heart attack. Right now hes been told that wasnt the case. He has been a heavy smoker all his life and and heavy drinker until recently. The Doctors think it has somrthing to do with his lungs. Now, if its lung cancer, would he expierence chest pains like he did? And if its cancer that did cause this does this mean its to late for him to get the help he needs? Please answer as soon as you can so I can make travel arranements if nessary. Thank you.

i checked this site http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/urine-odor/AN00958 and it said foul smelling urine is usually due to an infection of the kidneys or bladder. but i have been smelling this awful smell in the bathroom for weeks now and finally figured out it was my youngest daughter's urine so i cant believe it could be an infection or she would have been very ill by now. she says there has not been any itching or burning and she has not had any fever. she doesnt eat asparagus and there have not been any changes in her diet so i am very perplexed about this. i am going to make a doctor's appt on monday.

Quite often I get sores on my labia major that sort of ache and are red but very rarely pus and never rupture on their own. If broken the pus is white-ish to even a very light grey-ish brown color. I'm not sure if its herpes as they dont scar and rupture on their own but I'm not sure what they are or if they are contagious. I've had them ever since I can remember, even before I became sexually active. (And I always use protection)

If it can be transmitted through sexual contact, and from sharing needles can it be transmitted if a mosquito sucks the blood of an infected person and then goes and sucks the blood of a non infected person. Its not like the mosquito cleans its little sucker after every drink.

I don't think this is a stupid question. I'm just wondering what y'all think.

How painful is it? How long does it take before you start to loose your hair? How much better chances do you have if you choose to have chemotherapy? Someone said it makes you very tired. Is that true?

I have a band contest and my allergies are getting so bad, I can barely breathe when I eat. I'm taking Zyrtec allergy pills, I've also taken some cough/decongestant medicine and practically inhaled a tub of vaporub. I cannot go out and buy any sprays etc, so I need some home remedy type things. Thanks!

I had the clearest skin EVER in highschool. I'm now 21 and my face is a wreck. It's so oily, and I literally have a new zit every few hours. Also, I have been using AcneFree (wal-mart brand proactiv) for a little over a month, and it seems to be worse than before I started. I understand it "pulls" the crap out of your face and that I might breakout mildy from it for a couple weeks, but it's been a long time now and I'm yet to see any relief. I just started a Vitamin A regimin 3 days ago. Yes, I'm aware that Vitamin A can be very toxic if over taken. I only take one capsule a day because I was told it's very good for oily, pimply skin. The zits I'm getting are large, very hard, and extremely painful. I don't pop my zits unless they're ready to explode already. But these large ones I'm getting all over my cheeks don't ever come to a head. Please give me any advice or input. I have no insurance, so a derm. is out of the question. I'm really willing to do anything & can't take this anymore
