I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden these 'superbugs' MRSA and all the others are real.

I think it is all a invention.

In the 1950s & 1960s, Doctors used to do ward rounds with cigarettes hanging out there mouths. How come we did not hear about superbugs then?

It is all a load of codswallop if you ask me.

Last week I noticed I was getting some bumps in my groin area, and went to the doc right away. He said I had Molluscum Contagiosum and put liquid nitrogen on them to treat them. My girlfriend and I had sex the day before I went to the doctor... and she has no symptoms yet. I read that men are more affected than women? My girlfriend and I are not going to touch eachother for quite a while until this goes away... is it possible she won't get them??? (i hope so for her sake)

My boy has a cold. The doctor listened to his chest and says it's not bronchial so it's nothing serious...but he can't go 5 mins without coughing. What can I give him to help soothe his throat and chest. His little tummy must be hurting by now. I will not give him cough medicine, so I need some natural suggestions...no tea either, I don't want to caffenate him!

If price was not an issue....would you pay to have an air purifier that completely cleans the air in your home? Can it get rid of your allergies...pollen...dust...even dust mites? Do you have to change the filter all the time or rinse it off once a month? Are you constantly replacing parts or the only time you have to replace anything is if you break it? If you burn popcorn in the microwave...does the smell linger for days with your purifier or is the smell gone in an hour or so?

OK. my husband has a small bump just below the anus. slightly off to the left. you can't see anything, but you can feel it. it's slightly hard. it's blue around the area, so I don't know if the blue is a bruise or if it's a vein. I know that colon cancer is up inside the anus and so is rectum. I think... but I dunno if it's a polyp or a cyst or what. but if you could answer please do so.

Also please do not make any rude remarks. This is a very important situation for me.

Thank you to all who answer.

I'm 18 years old, and have been having chest pains for the past three years. It's not in one particular place, I have it mostly on the left side, and the middle, and sometimes radiates to the right side. Everytime I go to the doctor they say everythings fine which includes: the heart, lungs, breathing, etc. I always have trouble breathing when the chest pain occurs. The pain has gradually gotten worse, both in the amount of occurences, and the intensity on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being the most severe I would rate the pain as an 8 or 9. When I was around 13 or 14 years old a speacialst had sent me to a pediatric cardiologist to see if I could take some medicine. While there I had an EKG done, and the results said that one side of the heart is slower than the other and I think that's my right side, and that a normal heartbeat beats in the following order chamber 1, 2, 3, and 4. Finally, in August of last year when I was 17 years old I had experienced all the signs of a heart attack.

I have a student that is extremely intelligent. I like this student as he can be very nice and responsive. His behavior becomes very childlike and in some ways it seems as though he may be possessed. At times it can be very scary as it seems he may hurt himself or others. So really it seems behavioral, but once it starts he cannot stop. He cannot refocus his behavior.

The reason why I think it may not be Autism is because he is able to look people directly in the eyes when talking to them. He likes to be patted on the pack or give people fives, etc. Normally kids with Autism do not want to be touched in any way. Also, he feels remorse for the things he's done after they've happened. Other students with Autism do not even realize what they have done. It does not even phase them at any point. This students had been diagnosed by doctors, but they admit that he is an exception to the Autism norm. Any ideas or similar experiences, please help! I would like to help him.

I heard it's done by exposing the affected cells to the radiation from radioactive elements.
Now my question is which part of the radiation is responsible for the destruction of the cells (alpha, beta or gama)?
