I could make the argument that throwing them away is destroying life. Would God approve that or prefer they are used to try to heal the sick?

I heard several things...
1. That they suck your blood and the irritation happens because their proboscus breaks off in your skin.
2. That they burrow into your skin and live there.
3. That they lay eggs in your skin and the larvae hatch and cause irritation. Does anyone know the truth?

I am going to take an SSRI called Zoloft.

I was wondering, if it is okay (or safe) to take either 5-htp or Vitamin B complexes (Vitamin 1,3,... 12, etc) or L-Tryptophan.

Can I take them all together, or should I take one of them, or should I just take nothing except the Zoloft?

I wish to do so because I want to make my serotonin making rich.

thankx

Have you ever been misdiagnosed? Has a doctor made a serious error that caused you, or someone you know, harm?

Are US doctors just in it for the money?

Or are the just afraid of the Government, or getting sued?

If I am seeing one doctor then I see another doctor at a different office a few years later does the latter doctor have access to see my medical record from the former?

Is it part of normal new patient documentation for a physician to get access to this information? Basically I want to know about how my medical history is stored...are all the notes and stuff my doctor takes put into a computer where my new doctor or the hopspital can just pull up? What can just be pulled up and what requires special consent?

Thanks

The most serious comlication of STORCH

A. Still birth/prematurity

B. Congenital abnormalities

C. Abortion

D. All of the above

(STORCH is a group of STD's, like Syphillis, herpes, ....)

The answer is D. but I was torn knowing A and B were right but C didn't seem as though it was a complication, so I picked B.

My question is...is abortion really a complication from an STD...?

I am not an anti abortion crazy person but it just seems like it's not a complication.....

Dr. Kenneth Cooper's products are supposed to be absorbed by the body, whereas most others just pass on through. Before I drop $40 for a jar of vitamins, I'd like to if they really DO work.
Ideas???

i have been feeling this tiny-medium sized pimple like bump on the roof of my mouth, and i noticed it when i was eating. I have a wart on my thumb that i did not yet remove and was wondering whether i could have stuck my thumb in my mouth when i was not paying attention an transferred it to the hard palate of my mouth. Only, hmm .. there was one difference;.. when i touched it, i popped it just like a pimple and all this clear slimy (saliva?) came out. there wasnt alot , but it was more or less a pimple in my mouth. IS that EVEN possible. If so , what could this signify?? (I HOPE TO LIVE =i )

These of some but not all of the symptoms that people deal with that seem to be directly connected to their depression: loss of memory and concentration, pain in the body, chronic pain in neck and shoulder, severe pain in limbs, loss of strength in limbs, inability to use limbs, uclers, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, rashes, constipation, gas, weight loss, weight gain, loss of appetite, sleep disruption, inability to stay awake. There are many other symptoms of depression that seem directly linked to depression. As one person said, "When the depression goes up, the pain goes down. When the pain goes up, the depression goes down."

It would seem to be easier to explain these symptoms, if we looked at depression as an autoimmune disease of the brain. The immune system attacking various parts of the brain could cause all these symptoms. But how does a chemical imbalance in the brain cause all of these symptoms of depression?
