Infectious Diseases - February 2007

Hi!

Quick question...in my technologys class we are using microphones, the kinds that go over your head....

so, the little miicrophone part just brushed over my mouth...Iknow this is a paranoid-type question, but i am just wondering...can i get sick from this if the person the used the microphone before me was sick? it came out of a bag, so i dont even know if a person used it before me, and if they were sick.

The reason I asked the question above is I recently read about The Miracle Nutrient, Magnesium Glycinate.Until June of 2004 I was a healthy 45 yr old woman no real problems other than Mitro Valve Prolapse (MVP). It was discovered on my yearly GYN that I had a cyst on my ovary.The cyst was 14 1/2 cm and weighed over 2 lbs.On the day I was to leave the hospital I noticed I developed a cyst on my arm and a couple days later a painful enlarged breast lead me back to the hospital were it was discovered I had Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)After reopening my incision and several antibiotics later I was told everything was cleared(after about 8 mos)My problem never ended there.I am still in pain all over my body. I have developed osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis(RH Factor is a low 35)so this is not for sure, and Hashimoto. CAT scans, MRI's All types of test, Nothing. Started taking Magnesium Glycinate 2 days ago and I am almost pain free.Is this possible?

How many people who use this site have, like me, received blood transfusions in the UK, through the NHS, long before screeening for Hep C was introduced? I'd like to inform those in the USA that in the UK, blood screening for such things as HIV and Hep C was not done before 1991/2 because, these problems did not exist back then.

As for compensation, how can anyone be compensated for an illness that was not known about back then.

Anita Roddick contracted Hep C thirty-five years ago through blood transfusion. She will accept medical help and if necessary, says, she will accept a liver transplant.

I plan to go for tests. I had blood transfusions (5 pints plasma and 4 of blood, a lot of it imported from the USA) during 1977 when at 20 weeks, I miscarried a son... and lost my life's blood in the process. I joke that I had a complete 'oil' change:-)

I've been blessed with 30 extra years of life since, and seen my children grow up. I will never blame or seek recompence.

Why do heal cold sores with lysine, an amino acid? Why does the ointment a licensed practitioner contain steroids? How does it work against the fever blister? Is it an increase in proteins?
