I took the health check-up self test in the book '14-Day Health Cleansing' and the 'Do You Have CRC in the book Candida Related Complex.  After reading this information, I knew my body needed some detoxification. Can you help me find a doctor who will do this for me?

Why do you believe that you have ovarian or cervical cancer? I don't believe there is a correlation between yeast infections and the cause these cancers.\n\nHere is some information on vaginal infections:\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/6895-2.asp\n\nFollow-up with your gynecologist for further questions.

I have heard of that before.  Like your body breaks out from your partners secretions.  I think your doctor or dermatologist would be a good place to start because the web didn't bring anything up but it was on news and I saw it.

First thing to remember is that it takes, naturally, 30-45 days to clear your system. \n\nThere are products on the market that you take a few hours prior to the test, these are basically a diuretic, they make you pee so much that when you finally take the test hours later, there is no THC (the drug that they test for) in your system at that time. This is only good for 1 test, as a few hours later the THC count will be up again as it is flushed out of your blood and into your urine, so timing is everything.\n\nIf its a blood test or a chemical analysis of your hair, then you have a problem! If the hair one you can always shave off all your hair just before the exam so they can not get at it! But would not suggest draining your blood!\n\nhttp://maxpages.com/daniss\n\nThis website sells goods that will 'supposedly' help. Have never used them, but if you have no other option it has to be worth a shot! For piece of mind you also might want to buy a drug test from someone like\n\nhttp://www.drugteststrips.com/\n\nUse the detox kit, then do your own drug test to see if it works, if it does not, and shows the drug in your system, then at least you know you are going to fail so you can spare yourself the embarressemnt and just not turn up for the test! \n\nFor other companies that supply the drug tests, just type in the search \n\nDRUG TEST \n\ninto goggle and it will give you lots of different suppliers of both testing and detoxing kits.

it is ridiculous and rather anal retentive for you to ask for references when you are asking for a person's opinion.\n\ncan't educated people give their insight without looking up the insight of other educated people?  where do you think they got theirs?  eventually it goes back to common sense and personal observations.  if your point is to bring YA! out of the dumps of misspellings and "i don't know, but thanks for the points!" answers, i respect that, but it won't happen overnight and it won't happen on questions like this just because you stick your signature addendum to the end.\n\nif you absolutely must have sources, you shouldn't put so much faith in internet links.  anyone can put anything on the internet and pass it off as fact.  do you believe them because their site design is superb, or because they pretend to be a physician?  if you want online sources, find them at google scholar or pub med.  even wikipedia is riddled with errors.  if you want better sources, try your doctor's office for medical journals, or your local library, or ask specific questions to an expert.\n\n\nas for answering your question....\n\nfirst, antibiotics are not the cure for a bacterial infection, they are only part of the cure.  the other part is the immune system.  if you use enough antibiotic to kill every last bit of the infection, you'll also kill most or all of the beneficial strains of bacteria which we need.  most bacteria found in the human body are beneficial or harmless bacteria.  very few actually make people sick.  but antibiotics will kill any bacteria that is structurally similar to the target infective strain.  as a result, the helpful bacteria may be wiped out and the person will feel worse as they can't perform certain body functions without bacteria.  so usually you take a dose of antibiotic three times a day to wipe out most of the parent cells (or just prevent them from reproducing), and then let your immune system concentrate it's efforts on the remaining harmful bacteria.  a few days worth of treatment will make the person feel much better, but if there is even one cell of resistant bacteria, the infection can come back as that cell reproduces exponentially.  the infection will be harder to beat the second time.  so continuing treatment for several days after improvement is noted is an extra precaution.  (source: any introductory biology text)\n\nmedicine is expensive.  when people are really sick, they don't work and therefore don't earn money.  (if they aren't really sick, they are less likely to seek medical care and therefore won't receive a prescription for antibiotics.)   if they don't start to feel better within a couple of days they probably have a resistant strain of bacteria (or their immune system is compromised) and need to switch to a more expensive, stronger antibiotic.  (source: medical statistics, bacterial life cycle for whatever specific strain interests you, common sense)  if there is no need for additional medication, why push for it?  it's a waste of money at best, and a way for the individual's condition to deteriorate, at worst.\n\nthe point is, if you start to feel a lot better two days after starting the medication, and completely normal within three days... taking antibiotics for twenty-seven more days will not provide more benefit than taking it seven more days, and will probably have negative consequences with regards to helpful bacteria.  just because you feel better, though, doesn't mean your infection is gone.  one bacterium doesn't make a person feel sick.  but one bacterium can turn into a million bacteria very quickly.  for example, under optimum conditions, escherichia coli can divide every 20 minutes.\n\nso let's say you have one e.coli cell.  in twenty minutes you have two.  in two hours you have over 4 billion.  so the antibiotic just makes the conditions less than optimum, either preventing

Hi there.. I was raised in Canada, and after graduating from University went off the travel the world, which I did.  I met my former husband, and we had a child.\n\nHe was Italian, so we lived in Italy.  In Italy, homoeopathy is a very popular medicine, strictly followed by physicians.  When my son was just 2 months old, he started having problems with his breathing.. we did every test in the name of medicine and he came out perfect, but continued to have breathing problems when he cried.  We spend 3 weeks in the hospital and the final test was with an anaesthesiologist - and he personally came to me and told me that my son 'was in perfect health'... so why did he keep holding his breath when he cried - the doctor had no idea.\n\nI then started a very strict time schedule and it seemed to work.  but again, the breathing problems when crying continued.  Finally, a cousin of mine in Italy told me about a physician who specializes not only in Oncology for children, but also for Homeopathy... so I went to see him,\n\nUnlike other appointments I have had with my 4 month old son, this doctor gave almost TWO hours of his time - asking loads of questions that related to me and my son.  He then told me that he believes that my son should take Camomilla in the strongest dose - for the next 3 days.  No food or drink after the dose for 30minutes.... he also said, that after this, for the next three days, my son's symptons will be worse, and on the third day, I would call him back and say - 'my son is worse what can you do about it'.\n\nSure enough, he was right.  I did call back and was frantic - for my son was worse.  This physician then told me to wait one more day - and to call him back.  I did, and let me tell you it was like a miracle.  Since seeing this physician and using homeopathy under the guidance of this physician - my son has not had another 'attack' when crying - and now with myself and my son we both have NOT had a serious cold, and NO flu symtoms in the last 10 years.\n\nMost people say it is a joke and not true.. I SO do not disagree.  My son at the age of 10 has NEVER taken an antibiotic - he is so healthy, that he is the only child in his school that has NOT missed a day due to illness.  Ever.\n\nI have not missed a day of work myself, and when I do get the sniffles I know what to take, for you homeopathy is dealing with the symptoms, not the disease.  When you start practicing this medicine, you need to understand that.  What works for you, will not necessarily work for someone else.  I know my son and his needs for homeopathy as I know myself, but as much as informed as I am with this type of medicine - I could not and should not prescribe medications to others.\n\nI am certain that Singapore has this type of medication, but you need to learn, read, research and speak to someone regarding your symptons before you start taking this type of meds... why?  it is not cheap (also not really expensive either), and you can waste a lot of time and money on them, for some of these meds do NOT work on all people... hint:  SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE.\n\nI still use this to this day and will continue to do so for life.  Do I use regular prescribed meds?  Yes, but when needed - and till now, have not needed anything other type - and it has been 10 years now. \n\ntake a look at the website below, it is the main company that makes this medicine (not the only, but one I am very familiar with) and is used often in Italy (I am now living in Canada - and they are here also)\n\nResearch and learn about your symptons, for if you are not correct in what you need, homeopathy will not work.  But when it does, wow.. it truly is a miracle medicine.

I think you're supposed to be doing this one without outside help. And if you're studying biochemistry with a view to being a healthcare provider, I  for one would be gratetul if you WOULD do it on your own, so that you'll learn the method.\n\nBy the way, the cliche doesn't go all the way: "You are what you eat eats."

Firstly, don't believe everything you read on the internet as far as health stuff goes.  There's lots of good info and lots of bad info out there.  Was the doctor worried?  Did he talk about treatment or the future or medication?  He must have indicated something about what to expect.  I am not a doctor but have been around enough of them to know they would tell you if you needed to worry.  Call him again and ask, say you have info that has scared you and want to discuss it.  A good doctor will be happy to discuss what you want to know.  If he isn't, ask for a copy of your results and get a second opinion.  Good luck.

Dear Alriyabi,\nYou've certainly brought your medical concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis.\nMost recognized doctors in the field of medicine would employ a holistic approach to your ailment. Alriyabi, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.\nNow Alriyabi, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.\nAfter loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.\nAlriyabi, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.\nThank you, Alriyabi. Have a great day!\n-Kenny

Hey Sam, I have had crohn's for 15 + yrs. I know how you feel. Those who have never had this disease will not. I have tried probiotics, aloe vera juice, fish oil, jordan rubins program, you name it its been through my system (not always pleasantly). I am currently on Remicade and have been for over a year. It has put me into remission. I also believe it is an auto immune disease whether caused by man or environment I'm not sure. I have had many days where I feel like crap & often have deep thoughts of this disease. I do know hereditary is a factor as I can prove by most of my relation having ms, ra, lupus & crohn's. Do you have a good dr? If not find one even one who specializes in homeopathy can help. I wish you luck in finding a miracle we all are looking for!

Angie,\n\nI'm assuming that you want some information on the organism's effect on the body, rather than information on the organism itself.\n\nTry http://www.pathguy.com  This is a website that is run in it's entirety by a pathology professor.  All the information in every lecture (all the 'articles' you find there are actually lectures he gives to his students), cites specific articles that appeared on NEJM, Disease-a-month, etc...nothing is anecdotal.\n\nGood luck!

Go to GNC (Ceneral Nutrition Center.)  There's a Tea that cleans your blood stream.  I forget the name of it, but just tell them what you're looking for and they'll know what you're talking about.  It's a little pricey..pobably $30, but it's worth it if you want your job back.

Some people have found success with cleansing while trying "cold turkey."  If you get the built-up toxins out of your system more quickly it may help reduce your withdrawal systems.  AND, once you "clean yourself out" it will be less desirable to start smoking again since you'll be "dirtying" yourself up again after doing the work involved in cleansing and feeling so much better overall.\n\nI've personally used the bowel cleansing system called the Cleansing Trio produced by Young Living and been very pleased with the results.  It's also advisable you do a liver cleanse.  I haven't specifically used the liver cleanse products by YL so I can't say one way or the other about them.  There's lots of cleansing kits, but if you're interested in the one I've tried you can find it at their official web site www.youngliving.org.\n\nI wish you well in your endeavor.\n\n"If at first you don't succeed, try try again!"  :)

If you are going to rely on eating the cleansing agents, then you'd better be prepared for  two to six months of consistent dietary changes before you'll feel any effect.  \n\nYou can access a number of liver detoxification products through online health stores.  This is probably the best and easiest route, since you live so far from town. \n\nI tell you from experience, it's best to use high quality, guaranteed potency herbal extracts (which are a liquid form to be added to warm water - not pills), rather than solid food for liver cleanse.  It's much more convenient, and quicker.  \n\nI suggest you do a bit of research first.  Brand names of herbal extracts that I've used and recommend are, Gaia Herbs, Herbs Etc, and NOW products.\n\nYou can purchase these brands from many online sites. \n \nAlso, there are some online health assessment questionnaires that you can complete to help you get a better idea of what cleansing agents you should use. \n\n ***Online assessment is in no way a reliable substitution for a health evaluation from a certifed Naturopath or Dietician.  But it is a good research tool to help point you in the right direction.\n\n\nOne permanent, simple life change you can make to help keep your liver healthier is to always add dandelion greens to your salad.  And, make sure to eat raw, fresh leafy green every day.\n\nWishing you bountiful health!\n\nEdited}\nI understand your frustration about wanting a direct answer to your direct question.  The answer is: You can only perform liver cleansing by the 'JUST EATING REGULAR GROCERIES METHOD' with a significant time commitment, and sustained dietary changes.  Hence, the reason why the answers you've received reference some product or another.  \n\nThe quickest way to liver cleansing with only groceries is to buy loads of fresh, organic veggies - including:  garlic, onions, kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, beets (root and leaves), black radish, red peppers, cabbage, asparagus, wheat grass, leafy greens including dandelion, various sprouts and several small, fresh lemons.  Commit to a weekend juice fast.  Use a juicer (not a blender ... a juicer gets much more of the nutrition close to the skin) to juice down all but the lemon.  Spend Sat & Sun alternating between the fresh vegetable juice, and lemon water using fresh lemon.  \n\nDepending on the state of your liver and its toxicity, you may need to repeat the juice cleansing several times.  It's alot of work to do it this way, that's to say nothing of the expense.  You really might find purchasing high potency liquid herbals from the internet far more convenient, and ulitmately less expensive.  Good luck.

*gasp* thanks for your details.  you are the first one I encountered to give his case with good details.\ndon't worry mister. 120/94 AIN'T that alarming. \nquestion: have you eaten any foods high in (bad) cholesterol?? fatty pork chops?? seafoods?? chicken skin?? JUST BEFORE THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION??\n\nthat is all I can say viewing that your "latest check-up" is PAST 1 YEAR.  I think you should do it again, this time.\n\nTIP: GO SEE DOC.  AVOID FATTY FOODS BEFORE EXAMINATION. THAT BE IT. \n\nJOMAR S.T. NDGM '96\nEDIT: i saw your addition of details today.  you are not suffering from hypertension. you are just within the normal limits, however, that chest should be checked for further data.  might be just stress or rib cage "deflation/inflation" after hours of steadiness.

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx
