Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure?

yes.\nPreventing crime avoids multiple kinds of cost:\n* cost for the damage the crime did\n* cost for the prosecution\n* cost for the penal system\n\nAdd these together and you will see that these costs are in most cases higher than the cost for social programs that help avoid crime.\n\nThe only little issue with prevention is:\nThe cost of prevention is one large chunk out of the public coffers. The cost of crime is payed by public (prosecution and penal system) and private money (damage).\nSince the cost of damage is normally covered by the victim or the victim's insurance people don't see this part of the cost of crime clearly. So they tend to disregard it.

Personal experience for me says yes in some instances. It did not help in everything, but in many ways it was very useful... I would never hesitate to recommend this to anyone (it is not painful) and I would use it when I can.. \nGive it try really IT can not hurt and may be the best thing you ever do....

No- stuff like this is a waste of money.  The only thing that definitively works is surgery for both reduction and increase in breast size.  As it is, any herbal type concotion isn't even approved or tested by the FDA.

Not particularly, but don't overdo it. Too much aspirin isn't good. Ice packs will probably give you better relief anyway.

I perfectly agree with the previous answerer but I would like to add that the secret stands in the amount of AHA that each preparation contains. If the amount is lower than 7.5% they are generally safe. If it is more than this has to be implemented by the specialist in order to avoid allergies.\n\nKaterina

Probably not. Further it has not been shown to make much difference in recovery. Echinacea with Golden Seal does seem to stimulate immune reactions but golden seal used over an extended time is suspected to cause autoimmune disorders.\n\nVitamin C and B12 in large doses may help if taken immediately at the first sign of symptoms but as symptoms are actually the recovery process starting prevention is unlikely.  Vitamin C and B12 do seem to ameliorate symptoms but the cold usually lasts two weeks or 14 days (or a fortnight) which ever is longer.

NO..it should completely cure it..not cause it.

western medicine is better at curing, and alternative is better at prevention. I don't have experience with Eastern medical practices.

No, the cure to AIDS is $$. You have $$, you have no problems.

there may be a clue on the xango website...\n\n\n\n*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.\n\n\n\nthats a no then :)\n\nthe science isn't barmy but we don't know yet how much these substances can help and if they do have no idea how much or which might be helpful......   If you like the taste fine but in general you are better of sticking to a balanced diet with a wide range of fresh fruit and veg! :)

It works and I don't believe it just has to do with whether someone believes in it or not.  I've seen people who don't believe given remedies and they respond to them.  \n\nHowever, it really depends on the skill and experience of the practitioner.  They have to make the right diagnosis and  prescribe the right remedy in order for it to be effective.

Another one that Mythbusters checked out - had no effect whatsoever (maybe even made it slightly worse).\n\nHave tried myself and can't say I noticed any difference.

From what I've learned it is far from being a wonder cure as some have made it out to be. In support of claims made for it's curative qualities they give this quote. "The most powerful concept in disease prevention and treatment today is inflammation. Inflammation may well turn out to be the elusive Holy Grail of medicine - the single phenomenon that holds the key to sickness and health." \n~Meggs, WJ. The Inflammation Cure. (we don't know who this is: His expertise, qualifications, training or ...?) But MonaVie reps claim that by reducing inflamation they will help to cure "heart disease, cancer, arthritis, obesity, diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer's, and allergies(2004)".The response that can be made to that: "Inflammation is not a disease, and it is not the cause of disease. It is a symptom of disease. You cannot cure pneumonia with a cough suppressant.... it's no real facts, just hype."\nOne person claimed that a lab report he obtained, showed MonaVie is only 5% Acai juice, that the rest is mostly water. There are complaints about other treatment/cure claims of MonaVie, such as severe pain from arthritis or a fall from a 30 foot ladder being eliminated within 1-2 days. People also criticise because MonaVie is network marketing or MLM which is viewed by many as a legal pryamid enterprise. Price of MonaVie is outrageous, one bottle costs $45 (& price keeps shooting up)and recommended amount is 4 bottles a month! You don't have to pay absurd amounts to get any of the questionable benefits claimed. Just do as I and many others do; follow a careful organic vegetarian wholefood balanced diet with lots of raw food. It's far cheaper and better. And you know what you are getting.

None.  Fix your diet.  It's healthier and will last longer.

I know alot of people who do a shot a day, and they claim that it is the cure for everything.  I myself get so sick after one shot, that I can barley do one a week.  I might have an allergic reaction or something though.  If you can, it is perfectly safe to do 1 oz. per day.

1st heard of it on CSI. I thought it was just a fictional topic used to make a good story line for the show. However, my curiosity was peaked so I found tons of websites on it. It is definitely not something that I would ever consider doing, but it is said to be very healthy and can treat and cure an array of ailments. It is said that it is also considered to be the "fountain of youth" to some people. I will stick with regular medications and anti-aging cream.
