Depending on the disease, there may not be anything that you can do.  But for something that is preventable, you would do the same thing you would do to avoid getting sick.  \n1)Mininize your exposure to contagious diseases.\n2)Eat properly.\n3)Get enough sleep\n4)Go to doctor, get checkups and immunizations.\n5)Exercise

I have a known a few people that have battled bulimia and other eating disorders, including myself. I have really only seen one way to "fix" the whole purging thing, it's not a good fix but it is atleast more productive than shoving your finger down your throat...\n Most people that purge are really looking for some kind of control over their life and this is a sub-conscious way of acheving it, so find a different way of "controlling" your mind and your life is the key. Most of the people I know that have battled this condition have really only gotten out of that mind set by basically purging the negative energy a different way, almost always through intense exercise. While this basically has the same effect on you if you don't eat, you usally find that the workout and improvement becomes more important than being super-thin and in the end they all ended up not bulimic and a lot more attractive, and not to mention in better shape and happier, than when they were bulimic.\n\nThis mnd set usually comes with a lot of gifts to like a very high mental and physical pain tollerance, kind of a no brainer, as well as above average IQ and emotional IQ.\n\nHope that helps, good luck. It is not an easy fight.

The people or person making fun of anyone with any disease at all is a very immature person, pay them no mind and try to educate them about the effects of the disease and remind them that someday they or someone they love may contract this dreaded disease and how would they feel about being teased about such a misfortune. Cancer is such a terrible disease to have to go through. I don’t know what kind you have but I hope it is one of the ones that have a high recovery rate. Keep your spirits dreams and hopes soaring high. A good attitude will help you beat this disease, I know it is and will be hard but have all the treatments your doctor wants you to have no matter what the chances of recovery is. If there is only a slight chance of recovery remember that the doctors have been wrong before. Wishing you a speedy remission and a happy healthy life. §

Medicines and therapy go hand-in-hand.  You have to really want to get better, Amber.  The therapists give you the tools so that you don't dwell on things until you want to die.  Then you have to put them into action yourself.  Then you said you tried to kill yourself once, then you said you never have thoughts of hurting yourself?  A LOT of people are addicted to misery.  It's true.  If you've felt this way for years, in a strange way it's comforting to just stay in the negative.  Only you can stop that.

Of course, one of the causes might be psychological...\n\nAnyway, there might be a solution: Go for a manual one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effect on the self-healing power of your body and mind is simply amazing - own experience. :-)\n\nJust - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It''s really worth travelling far.

Well, I had symptoms for 25 years before I was diagnosed. I think you just cope because that's all you nkow. Some cope better than others with the damage it causes. However, once I was diagnosed, I had trouble coping with the diagnosis of a mental illness. That took a long time to come to terms with.

Alcoholism is an addiction. Most Alcoholics won't admit that they are alcoholics. They spend most of their time looking forward to their next drink.  That's why it's a disease. It takes over their ability to reason and their freewill.  Their body has to have that alcohol and their just not satisfied until they get it!!

No! Your body needs all that energy to fight the bacterias, do try to avoid all kinds of vigourous activities until you're fine. Or your illness could just drag on longer.

your mental health and social well being have been shown to have correlations with physical health\n\npeople that are happy and have friends and family to support them get sick less and recover faster and more fully when they do get sick (on average)

I think its sad to see anyone suffer with a terrible disease that comes from something that he did to him/herself.  Especially when they started doing that thing before they were old enough to understand the possible consequences.\n\nYour friend has my sympathy.

When you become sick, your body produces "antibodies". These antibodies fight off the individual pathogens. After these pathogens are destroyed, some of the antibodies remain in your body. If that particular pathogen ever returns, the antibodies will recognize it and attack it before it can manifest itself.

Main reason is addiction and some people I know wouldn't quit even if they got sick.\n\nAnd yes it's really cool to fill your lungs with tar and not be able to breath and have a very slow and painful death (note the sarcasm)

I have also had that problem.  It is most difficult to live like this.  Look for a support group in your area.  Knowing other people suffer from this and are willing to talk about it really helps.  Bulimia is a very dangerous and serious disease to live with.  It can cause you to have serious health problems if not stopped.  Please seek help!  Best of luck and know that you have done one of the hardest things a bulimic does-----you admitted you have Bulimia!!!!

It is overcoming the negative things that keep us down.  Alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, anger, etc. etc. etc.  Everyone has something that is a struggle.  When we defeat those things, we become stronger and live a better life.\n\nSue

Hi There\n\nPain in the body is the indicator that you have an issue to deal with. Sounds simple, but people don't deal with pain. We are conditioned to take a drug and the pain will disappear, but the actual issue will not. That is what people don't understand (including doctors). Suppression (taking drugs) of any symtom of the body causes it to take the next issue with your body to a bigger problem. Suppress enough headaches, then you have migraines, suppress those and you have a disease, suppress that and you have a cancer, ect. Same story applies for any issue. \n\nI have been educating people for years and if you are sick you need to detoxify the body by letting it rest for at least a week. Eat fruits and veggies (live foods) for a week (better yet juice them) and you will feel better before you know it. ALso good to do a colon cleanse because the toxins in the body hang out there and when people dont have regular bowel movements (30 minutes after each meal), the toxins get in the blood and illness and disease occur. \nYou are probably dehydrated from being sick and that and stress is what causes back pain. Be sure to drink at least a gallon of distilled water a day. More tips please email me.\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Seems like they don't know much about MS.  The cause of progression in MS is unknown.  A relapse can occur if you become over-heated, overly stressed, overly fatigued...or it can just happen.  No lifestyles that I'm aware of make a difference in the progression.  No foods, either.  Supplements that boost your immune system should be avoided, because MS is a disease caused by an "over active" immune stem in the first place.  Anything that stimulates your immune system could lead to a new attack or an exacerbation.  \n\n     The National Multiple Sclerosis Society recommends that people diagnosed with MS begin treating with the "ABC" drugs (Avonex, Betaseron, or Copaxone) as soon as possible.  While they do not "cure" MS, they do slow down the progression of the disease and prolong the progression of disability.  I provided a link to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society below, as well as the makers of Copaxone's website.\n\n*Diagnosed May 2005
