If it is bad for you, why? What does it do to you? But what else am I supposed to do if I feel it but it won't come out on its own?

Ten years ago the N.H.S was in trouble, not enough nurses to staff the hospitals. The N.H.S searched the world to find nurses willing to give up their own countries to come and work here to save the N.H.S. They found those nurses in the Philippines and the N.H.S was saved. Now Europe has opened its gates to more countries Tony Blair wants to give these Filipino nurses £20,000 each to go home so he can get the N.H.S to employ East European nurses that do not even understand English. Hundreds of junior doctors have already been sent home to make way for East European non English speaking doctors. I say this makes Blair the most Racist person in Britain today. What do you think?. Please specify your nationality and if you are in the NHS.

i broke my arm was i was younger (about 10 years ago when i was 16) and two years ago i broke my leg (and now have a metal rod and screws in it). my doctor for each injury told me that after the bones heal they will be stronger than they were before i broke them. Both my arm (ulna and radias) and my leg (tibia and fibula) were broken badly and werent simple fractures. i find it odd that they when they heal they would be stronger. is it true that when they heal they become stronger or is it just a myth that doctors tell patients to make them feel better about the whole experience.

My son, two months ago, dropped a glass pickle jar onto the floor. While I was cleaning up the glass, I used my hand to get up. My thumb was bent under and I was cut. Now that I am back to work, my knuckle is throbbing. Do you think there could be a sliver of glass lodged in my nuckle?

I heard that dmso or msm cream will soften or get rid of scar tissue, I have to get into the skin about a 1/2 inch to get to it, any suggestions. Thank you and God Bless.

I've heard it said and I'm sure its true that too much bathing will weaken you.

I have heard that SAMe and 5-HTP can help with insomnia, migraines, and the like. Has anyone tried either? Did it help?

Also, has anyone tried tea tree oil for dandruff? I hear it helps.

I dont know if anyone had that feeling, but sometimes after i eat either cholcolate or milk, i get this weird sensation in my mouth where I feel like vomiting. My mouth basically starts to salivate a lot then the gagging relfexes begin. I dont actually vomit, i just want to. I wonder why?

I dont think its a disease i have or that im lactose intolerant, it just happens every now and then, My brother gets the same feeling sometimes.

I have looked for cures on spinal headaches and can not find any answers. I have had the blood patch done and I still have the same problems as I did before the blood patch was done. This is how I have been for almost a month.
