All of the false information given out regarding nutrition and health in their "studies."
The pushing of "medicines" by multi-national corporations on the stock market like drug cartels on a world stage and provide nothing more but a "treadmill" for you and your health , not to mention bank account.

With their smug , condescending manner these "medical professionals" , themselves are either brainwashed by the text books that were sold for them to study for there "great wisdom" or these "medical professionals" are themselves taking part in this worldwide health scam do enslave everybody else to their stupidity.

ok here is the deal... Maybe a week ago I noticed my right wrist hurting. It happened halfway thru gym class we are playing badminton so this is kinda becoming a problem. I thought it only happened in gym but then the next day when I brushed my hair my wrist started hurting! It seems that for the past yr in Winter only my wrist will hurt. My mom has tendinitis so is this why my wrist hurts?Now it hurts very easily. The pain isn't too bad just annoying.

I know your body temperature is supposed to drop when you sleep, but my wife describes it as "you turn into a heater!" I also often wake up with night sweats.

Any ideas? I've searched the internet and cannot find anything on body temperature *rising* when asleep.

Why is that when me, my sister and my brother lack sleep, we feel leg pains that seems to come from the bones, is it really the bones that are responsible for he pain? Is it the muscles above the bones? Or is it just a reffered pain?

Yesterday I banged my pinky on something. It hurt, especially near the knuckle joint, but it looked fine.

A day later, it swells up and hurts a bit more. Could it just be a bruise or bump?

Whenever I raise my left arm, whether in standing position or lying down, it gets numb as if not enough blood circulates my arm starting from my fingers all the way down. The longer I keep it raised, the lower the numbness goes to my elbow.. down to my shoulder.. but I really haven't kept it up too long for the numbness to reach my shoulder because by the time it goes down, id be so afraid already. What's causing this? It's been like this for a year now and I realized this because it was before Valentines when I first felt this and its almost Valentines again! Help! Thanks!

My friend has this on going condition where she has these strange dreams. They vary a bit but what they all have in common is some sort of bright light and a feeling she is being strangled. She says whenever she has a dream like this she experiences an overwelming sense of fear and gets a strange tingeling sensation all over her body when she first wakes.
She thought it might be sleep apnea but the tests came back negative. My friend said she thinks it's something physical that may be happening to her body when she is sleeping which may be triggering the strange dreams. Anybody heard of anything like this?

Thanks

I had gastric bypass surgery in 12/04. I have had no complications of any kind.

In the last 2 weeks, however, something bad is happening. I thought at first that I was becoming lactose intolerant and the lattes I drink each morning were becoming a problem. I gave them up 2 weeks ago. Not that.

I have VERY painful gas and a tremendous amount of bubbling in my stomach all day long which leads to back pain, headaches and diarrhea. I have tried many OTC remedies for both stomach upset and gas and nothing is working.

I am in the middle of a probationary period at a new job, my health benefits will not come into play for another 3 wks. A doctor’s visit is out of the question.

Does anyone out there know what this might be? I have read on some GB forums of some TERRIBLE issues people have had post-surgery, like small tears in the new stomach and the like. But in every case I read about, that came to the fore much earlier than this. Anyone have any informed ideas about this?

My co workers ear infection has been contant pain for about two weeks. The steroids have not relieved the pain, so they are suggesting piercing the ear drum to allow the fluid to drain and hopefully stop the pain. Has anyone had this done? Does it hurt? It's sounds painful. Should she be concerned?

My daughter's left earlobe has a lump in it. The first time we got it pierced it was too low and at an angle, so we had it redone about a year later. (It's been 10 months now). She had a little lump that I assumed was a scar from the old hole healing. But sometimes when we change earrings I have to push to get the earring all the way in. Last night it seemed like the bump was a little bigger and there was a bit of blood when I cleaned her ears. I squeezed a little bit and got out just a tiny bit of pus and then a bit more blood. We put the earring back in using neosporin (I had to force it a bit) and then I cleaned her ears with hydrogen peroxide that she said stung a bit. Am I doing the right thing?
