Natural and Alternative Treatments - A Holistic Approach In Medicine
My daughter has suddenly got sick today, she is vomiting and has a 102.5 fever and a runny nose. All the doctors offices are now closed for the holidays. So I will take her to the hospital if I cant get her fever down, any suggestions?
I have been getting sick pretty much every month for the last 6 months or so, and I also just had a benign tumor removed from an ovary. I really think that these are symptoms of weakened immune system, is there a way for doctors to test for that? And is there anything they can do to treat me? Thanks!
What is the main cause of a pituitary tumor?
I was just diagnosed with one yesterday, after taking an mri about a week ago.
I went in to take an mri because my hormone levels were way to high and they found the tumor, the doctors said that the tumor is the reason I gained 30 pounds in 2 and a half months and my periods stopped for about 8 months.
I wanna know what the cause of it is?
We all know that there are so many medical practitioners especially nurses who are working abroad. The demand for health care providers in other countries became the apple of the eyes of those in the medical field. Even doctors in the country prefer to practice their expertise abroad or take up nursing for them to be able to work in other countries like the US or somewhere in Europe. But with this, is there any hope for the Philippines to improve its health services when it is currently experiencing brain drain?
My name is Jessica and I am 18 years old. I felt a lump on my breast and I got it checked out. Turns out it is a tumor. The doctors aren’t sure if it is cancerous of not. I know that the chance of it being cancerous is very slim but I would like to know what the actual percentages of a person my age to actually have breast cancer. I’ll take anything I can possibly get! Thanks guys!

Who has had serious trouble with migraines during pregnancy and what did your doctor suggest for "home remedies" or RX medications? I have them about twice a week and seriously need help!
I am 16 weeks with my third child.
I am not stupid enough to take anything that is not approved by my doctor. I am simply curious about how others have dealt with the problem and the solutions their doctors have given them. If there was something I was curious about that someone suggested I would consult my doctor before use. DUH! I don’t want to hurt my child.
Hello All,
I am just about 6 weeks pregnant and don’t have my first doctors appointment for 2 more weeks. High blood pressure runs in my family regardless of activity level, weight, gender, etc… it skips around but I was one of the ‘blessed’ ones.
What are some of the risks being pregnant with high blood pressure? What are the doctors going to do about it? Will I be a high-risk patient?
Thank you all!
I get ill everytime there is something going around, and my doctors tell me i have a very low immune system.
I struggled with anorexia a few years back and was down to 82 pounds, so i know thats a big reason why it is so low. Can i build it up from how far it has fallen?
I cant be around bust, or the tiniest bit of mould without getting sick.
And i also have Grave disease, and would like to know if that would lower my immune system?
My mother feels a bad smell in his nose.It is something like the cigarette smoke.She has headache in the mornings and then it wears off.This stink or odor sometimes reduces and some days increases.My mother has always had splitting headaches during her life.Can these contribute to a tumor in the brain?Also,recently the CT of her mind showed nothing of a tumor or the like .The doctors say that she has no problem.But continuously she feels that smell.
What causes migraines so bad that a person suddenly collapes with very little or no warning, often accompanied by profuse vomiting and aura? Mine are well controlled now, but no doctor has ever explained to me what all is behind this.
I have never gone unconscious with mine, but would just suddenly go down, fully aware of what was going on, but totally unable to get up during the worst of it. Yes, I had seen a headache specialist 75 miles away, but had to quit when my back pain (from the falls) prevented me from being physically able to go, and when I was even getting sick while on the drugs. My symptoms are well controlled now with a strictly organic diet, so that I very rarely get a migraine or vertigo. However, no one has ever explained the mechanism behind it. I was tested for oxygen level after an attack, and it showed normal. No one has ever tested me while an attack is actually going on, as the worst of it is so sudden, and the worst of it leaves just as suddenly, and then I am left with the residual effects.
If lack of oxygen is possibly behind this, like some answers suggest, then what causes the sudden lack of oxygen, and what causes the oxygen level to normalize when, after an attack, I am tested at the emergency room for oxygen levels and it is shown to be normal?
And, no neurologist ever explained any of this to me although I had seen several neurologists in several states.
Not even my headache specialist ever really answered this question although I saw her for more than a year.
Doctors just kept treating it like a "typical" migraine headache…you know, the kind with severe head pain, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, etc.
I am having to ask here because of not having any luck getting my questions answered anywhere else.
I’m not looking for the usual, general information about migraine headaches, their triggers, their causes, etc.
What I am talking about is very different from that.
I am looking at what causes a usual migraine headache to become a violent, life-threatening ordeal.
Thus far, none of the answers has explained this.
I have every reason to believe, after having studied this, that MSG is the culprit behind my most violent and potentially life-threatening symptoms. I’m not the only person to have collapsed from MSG, and the excitotoxin has been linked to numerous health problems.
It makes sense, given that when I stray at all off my organic diet I get sick again, as organic food does not tend to have added MSG in it, and conventional food tends to have it in high doses.
I was actually tested for whether my blood pressure drops when I suddenly stand, suddenly switch to sitting, lying down, etc., and even that test for me showed normal.
And, like I said, it seems a bit more than ironic that I don’t get these symptoms when I completely avoid MSG and artificial sweeteners.
Also, I am not talking about fainting when getting up too quickly or otherwise changing positions too quickly. I am talking about walking down the street and doing other everyday tasks, and suddenly collapsing, getting very dizzy, and vomiting.
I am not against shots let me first state this, I have other children that have all their shots. Also I am going to school to become a nurse and I have received my immunization. The problem is my youngest has alot of different minor health concerns and because of this I do not want this child to have their shots. There is also a family history of complication due to shots. The problem I am having is that when I took my child to the doctors they refused to give me a medical exemption. (which by state law I have the right to request)
I live in the state of Illinois and you are supose to be able to get a medical exemption from your doctor so I am wanting to know if there is anyone out there that has had this problem and if so what did you do?
For example, if you were about to do surgery for osteoarthritis and doctors are suppose to give you a shot with many different chemicals inside of it, how do those chemicals bypass the immune system so that it won’t be attacked, but considered as good for the body?
