General Health Care - August 2007

I am in India and I have been initiated to sitting meditation. For this a cushion is needed . There is this special cushion in round form. called Zafu. It would be possible for me to pay Cost plus shipping charges by way of bankers cheque in $$$ valid ANY WHERE.. I do not find sales of Zafu or Zabutone in India. and I need one Zafu filled with buckwheat hull , as this stays hard and does not depress over the time.. I use the cotton filled cushion which is depressed withing 8-10 weeks time.. and need replacement in order to maintain the height..

I expect someone will be knowing this and could be of help .Thanks Lot

He came inside after he was stung and it looked all right, by about 11 it had swollen a little more with a giant lump at the sting. When he woke up today his whole hand was swollen. What should he do, he's never been allergic to bees?

I dont know what else to call it, but I have had a wicked sinus infection and the skin around my nose and mouth are so very raw from the sneezing and coughing. I have tried vasoline and neosporin but both smell or taste odd. Thanks for your help.

I work at a job that has probably positioned my spine out of allignment over the years. I run a converyor belt in a factory. Anyways I have just started to work out at a gym because I have gained weight. When walking on the tread mill (not running) I have noticed my right leg feels like it is under greater pressure than the left leg and my right knee is getting sore.

Any tips or hints to keep my leg from bothering me?

Lately my right kneecap has been giving me problems.

Especially after my leg is in one position for a long time. When I stand up, my kneecap kind of gives way and it feels as if it the kneecap bent in. (not sure if that's that correct term.) There's a sharp pain and I often have to bend my leg(not straighten) to relieve the sudden shock.

What could be the cause of it? I am 16 by the way.

drinking out of the bathroom sink tho? I've heard stories about how the kitchen sink's water is different than the bathroom sink's water but it didn't make sense to me, is it really different? Would it be safe to drink out of the bathroom sink if I drink out of the kitchen sink? Thankss

If this was torn would I be able to lift anything of any weight at all? I think it was just bruised, I dont have the money to get an MRI so please leave that out of the answer.

plus I'm sick of paying all that money for smokes. I'm using Chantix with their online support plan.....but I've tried to quit before. What makes this time THE LAST AND FINAL TIME I try to quit? I quit drinking a year 1/2 ago, but it seems that is far simpler. Cigarettes are like your constant companion. (Smokers know...."Keys, glasses, cigarettes"). I'm afraid of how I'll feel today..........thanks for any support!

I once saw it on the animal planet that some MS suffers stung themselves daily with honey bees and it helped them. One woman claimed she was bed bound and couldn't talk and she agreed to it as a last result and within 6 months she was walking again.She said it has been the best natural healer for her. My neighbour has it really bad and she cannot even talk now and is bed bound, ifeel so much for her as she is only 30 and her three young boys are the same age as my children and she totally depends upon them.I pray for her and wish that this therapy is true but need more info on it and proof. One of her children has just broke his arm and i try to give the children some comfort but its not the same as a mothers love. Her youngest 5 year old sits in her hospital bed and reads her stories. I pray that their is hope for her. If anyone has heardanything about this please let me know.

Lately i have been getting the following symptoms;

- im tired pretty much all the time even though i get 8 hours sleep. and sometimes i feel so exhaused that i get upset and even cry because im just so tired.

- about 3-4 times a day i feel like ive just woken up from concussion or something because i feel dizzy and confused and dont really know what im doing. its like zoning out. and i get really distressed and anxious.

-i get a headache pretty much every day. its not a bad one ( i know what bad is, i get migraines) but its a thumper. kind of like a tension headache.

-when im doing my work, like writing in my workbook, and i look up at the board, my vision goes blurry and takes about 5 seconds to come good again.

im 17. and just really confused. i dont know whats going on. and if its serious or nothing at all. its really upsetting, especially when i get dizzy and zoned out.


is something else wrong? my mum said she's not convinced with the doctors opinion.
