Hi all, People around the globe know this, but Americans and Isrealis don't. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, called "HIFU". My husband got prostate cancer and we live in Colorado, but a friend told us about HIFU, so we found it on the web and booked it in Mexico with an American doctor who flies down there every weekend to treat men. We met the doctor the night prior to treatment, the next day hubby was put to sleep to prevent movement. It took 2 hours, no cutting involved, no pain, then I waited for him to wake up and we went to the beach and out to dinner. There are about 30 American doctors who fly out of the country to treat men on weekends using …

Good afternoon. Given this general definition of intelligence "Intelligence has been defined in different ways, including the abilities for abstract thought, understanding, communication, reasoning, learning, planning, emotional intelligence and problem solving. "My question is: can we induce intelligence to a lymphocyte??. Please explain the answer. I know the question is out of the ordinary, but a company called 4Life says makes smart autoimmune cells and im trying to help out a friend whit this issue. Thank you for your time.

I've noticed that if hypothetically I've smoked marijuana within one or two weeks of drinking I don't get hangovers. And I'm the stereotypical skinny guy who usually gets really bad hangovers. If you look at some of the things marijuana treats verses hangover symptoms it would make a lot of sense. Hangover symptoms: Dehydration (fixed with some water lol) Headache* Bodyache* Nausea* Loss of appetite* Fatigue Irritability (probably caused because of the other symptoms more than anything else) All the *'s are treated by marijuana. Makes sense to me at least. I cant find any studies which prove this though. A word of warning; from what I've heard yo…

Hi all, A sound understanding of the structure and function of the human body in all of its intricacies is the foundation of a complete Medical education. Please find here my post on Squidoo on "Clinical Companions for Medical Education"; url deleted

Are fecalysis, urinalysis, cbc, and serum electrolyte levels enough work-up for acute diarrhea? I've had watery diarrhea (no fever, no abdominal pain) last year and had these labs taken which showed unremarkable results. Gave me metronidazole because amoebic dysentery is pretty common in the locality. Stool returned to normal in consistency after about a five days. Same thing happened to me recently and the labs were also normal. Prescription also consisted of metronidazole even though there was no cyst or trophozoite in my feces. I also could not believe that I would get amoebiasis twice since I'm very careful with what I eat and my housemates which are also eating t…

I have been smoking high quality medicinal pot 2-3 times every day for the past 7.5 years. I just quit about 3 days ago to take a drug test next week (total of about 10-11 days). I need to find some statistics on ng/ml of thc detectable in urine for chronic smokers. I have read that it can go up to the thousands!!! Is this true? If so, how long for such a chronic smoker to get below 100-150? Was the smoker fatter, skinnier, etc.? Did he/she exercise? I have found some statistics out there, but none are very clear or specific... I plan to use the Erowid.com Visine method to drop my ng/ml significantly (about 2/3 decline in concentration), but it won't be enough …

i love playing,watching movie and games that are based on zombies but then i start to get paranoid like if i ever face one or more how hard would it be to kill them assuming they are rotten bodies just walking and the outbreak having the entire world roaming with them leaving my life pointless to live on anymore and things like that could anyone explain to me that maybe zombies arent in anyway possible to be brought to life.like a human being is hard to kill what about zombies would they be even harder killing one would be hell but fighting an entire army of them so yeah i know "dont watch zombie stuff" but it is stronger than me please help

OK I eat like crap people I average around 800 Calories a day be it a box of Kraft dinner or a 150 gram bag of potato chips. Somtimes I change over to large salads for awhile or I'll go to KFC. I only eat once a day unless I'm hung over then I cure it with Chocolate milk and pizza pops a couple times a day. I take ginseng and a few sexual health herbs so anyway............Modern science says a person needs 2000 calories a day to live and less is going to lead to weight loss. I walk everyday maybe a few kilometres more if it's nice so........I'm about 150-160 lb 5 ft 10 and I know it's not healthy but I'm doing fine so why is this? All medical science I have read says 800 …

Just wondering, what is the comparison between the effects? They could both possibly be used to treat the same illnesses. Knowing its less dangerous than alcohol is enough to make me think it is completely ridiculous not to legalize it. If you only use it say a two or three times a month, it wouldn't even have a significant effect on health from the somewhat damaging smoke. Probably nowhere near as deadly as fast food. I'm just trying to establish the degree of idiocy and hypocricy there is in this war against drugs, which i may agree with for harder drugs that are actually addicting, but if you legalized simple marajauna i think that people wouldn't care so much about tr…

It's common knowledge that eating healthy gives you more energy. So here's a question: does eating junk food reduce your energy even if you've taken your daily requirements of health foods? For example, suppose for a full day, someone ate a balanced quantity of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and lean dairy products. He ate the required daily amount for someone of his type. He's getting enough good quality sleep and he's staying away from drugs and alcohol. If on top of all that he had a fair amount of junk food (say a bag of chips, some pop, a donut, and some buttered popcorn at a movie) would he still have his energy levels up at what they would be if he c…

Liver failure is a condition that occurs when large parts of the liver become damaged beyond repair and the liver is no longer able to function. Liver failure is a life-threatening condition that demands urgent medical care. Most often liver failure occurs gradually and over many years. Acute Liver Failure Acute liver failure is a rare condition. Acute liver failure occurs rapidly (in as little as 48 hours) and can be difficult to detect initially. The most common causes of liver failure are: Hepatitis B Hepatitis C Long term, excessive alcohol consumption Cirrhosis Hemochromatosis Malnutrition Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose Reaction to a prescribed me…

Hi: I'm about to lose it. I absolutely HATE the taste/smell of most healthy vegetables but I NEED to eat them for my physical health. I have a VitaMix blender that chopped these veggies into their molecular level. However, I still need to drink it to get it into my stomach -- this resulting NOXIOUS flavors cause me to vomit and make me extremely discouraged from maintaining a healthy diet. There is only one way to get this nasty-yet-healthy concoction into my system without suffering and that is to use and orogastric tube. An orogastric tube is a device goes into the mouth, and down the throat and finally into the stomach. This enables liquids to enter the st…

Can you really get "weed addicted" ? And if so, is it possible to get addicted from eating weed brownies or cannabutter bakery products ? I was wondering if there is any certified information on this topic. Also info on any weed related disorders would be valuable.

Dear all, I’m currently learning an antioxidant assay called ABTS scavenging capacity. I’ve got several questions intend to ask, as follows: 1) How many days does the ABTS stock solution (2.45 mM potassium persulfate and 7 mM ABTS salt solution in a ratio of 1:1 v/v) can stable for? How can I identify whether it’s degraded based on its color and etc.? 2) How many days does the diluted ABTS working solution (diluted with MeOH to obtain abs. 0.700±0.02) can stable for? How can I identify whether it’s degraded based on its color and etc.? According to Re et al. (1999), the diluted ABTS working solution can be stabled for more than 2 days. 3) Is it the range o…

For some reason my toenails are brittle and scratch easy for lack of medical terminology.That means when I cut my toenails I have to be very very very careful not to scratch my toenail. When having a shower and coming out of the shower it starts to peel by the base or edges and takes a long time to heel and some times does not heel and I just have to live with it for new toenail to grow . And if I touch it or bump it not hard it scratches easy and peels easy.You have to treat your toenails as if it is a glass ornament. It slow to heel and very sensitive to water or touch.About 6 months ago I bumped one of my toenails very hard and it was black ,blue and bru…

Hello Experts, I am 38 years old man with 68 Kilo, 169 cm height. As per BMI index calculator in internet, my BMI index and weight is correct for my height. However, even though, I am not overweight, I have considerable belly and almost flat butt. This is becoming a topic of my social frustration. Needless to say, when I do bit more workout, I reduce my weight and then start leg aching, back aching and other problems. I am occasional beer drinker and do not overeat. I am working in software, hence sit for long hours at one place. This might be reason for belly. I occasionally swim and cycle. However, in some minutes, I get breathless or near to feeling …

Here is the website for the Italian oncologist: http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/whois-simoncini.html Below are the you-tube videos. Part 1: Part 2: Tell me what you guys think.

Here is the link for more information about this treatment by medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski: https://www.burzynskimovie.com/ I watched some of the movie clips and trailers for the movie and listened to part of the interview. This is not the first example I've heard where the FDA have suppressed a new/ alternative treatment for a disease/ disorder. It seems that medicine and cancer treatment is more about making money than helping people and saving lives. I find it sad that today's world is governed by people who just care about money and power. Here is another example of FDAs suppression: This is an excerpt from a book I have (Natura…

This is kind of a hypothetical question, so don't read anything into this about my actual life style: I'm just wondering if it makes sense to talk about being overweight yet healthy at the same time. I'm thinking particularly about snacking on health foods - fruits, whole grain breads, low-fat dairy products (milk, yogurt, I don't know about cheese), low-fat meats (particularly fish), etc. If one was always hungry and always wanted to snack, could he/she maintain his/her health by snacking on healthy foods such as these? Let's add a bit of exercise in there since I know exercise is essential for any healthy lifestyle, plus good quality sleep, abstaining from drugs and…
