My ears are ringing like hell even after getting em flushed out. Worried it might involve surgery!
Very hard to treat Tinnitus,
you must learn to live with it and see what you can do to bring the ringing to the point it doesn’t bother you anymore.
No offense, but I wouldn’t trust any of you to make me a sandwich, let alone give me complex medical advice.
Why do people think this is a good idea?
People do it as some of the advice offered is very good advice but unfortunately a lot of it is junk advice but it is all free advice.
People also do it to avoid a visit to their doctor and some people ask for advice as their doctor has been unable to help them.
Most doctors don’t believe in alternative medicine and some people do so they ask questions under Alternative Medicine.

Borex is a skin-lightening favorite from the nineteenth century. Mix ¼ cup borax with 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a glass jar. Cover and let stand for 48 hours. Once each day, stir the mixture and rub a spoonful on your discolored skin.
“Glycerinated Lotion of Borax” was used as daily wash to render the skin equisitely soft and white. Mix 1 teaspoon powdered borax with 2 tablespoon glycerin and ¾ cup rose water.

I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and am being tested for fibromyalgia as well. Are there any natural supplements out there that really work?
There are actually a few that have helped many people (including my Mom, who also has Fibromyalgia). You could try D-Ribose, Magnesium, a good B Complex (B-50 is usually adequate), Malic Acid, Methionine, and/or TMG (Trimethylglycine).
I would personally suggest adding only one of these to your regiment every month or so, just to see how your body reacts to each one (so you can see which ones work well and which ones don’t help).
As far as joints, there are several natural supplements that help joint health, which may remove the cause of the pain. The most popular are Microlactin, Tart Cherries, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, Danish Rose Hips (specifically Danish ones), and Bromelain.
The only thing to really watch out for is allergies. Glucosamine is typically from Shellfish and Microlactin is from milk. As long as you’re not allergic to those, you should have no problem. Good luck and I hope I helped!
Can I use a needle to lance/pop a thrombosed external hemorrhoid myself? Or will the emergency room doctor do it? I am out of town so can’t see my family doctor and can’t wait until I go home next week.
If you do it yourself, you are risking a lot. It isn’t like a pimple that you can easily pop. They are very vascular and tend to bleed a lot. The ER is the place to start. They shouldn’t "pop" it in the ER, unless they have something to tie it off with, band it, or cauterize it to stop the bleeding. They may just tell you to ice it or give you something for the pain. Then, when you get home, see your doctor to set up a time for the small surgical procedure. If you do decide to do it yourself, expect excessive blood loss, pain, and potential infection.
I know theres medicine bit I cant afford it right now so what else can I do? Prune juice??. Citrucet??.. Anything anyone has tried something and works?
Well, without using medicine, you can try sitting in a warm bath several times a day. Try not to sit or stand for too long at a time, lay down as often as you can to take some pressure off. Also, try to make sure you get plenty of fiber, etc. to stay regular and avoid straining when moving your bowels. And when you can afford it, get some otc medicine.
I’ve have recently gotten proactiv… don’t know if it will work, but i wanted to see if there was an alternative natural thing i can do… know anything about whether proactiv will work or natural healing ways… PLEASE DONT HESITATE AND HOLLER 
Cleanse daily, avoid washing away natural oils with soaps or washes, this causes skin to produce more oil than normal which clogs pores. I recommend Oil Cleansing Method (OCM), it doesn’t strip away natural oils so is healthy, reduces acne and heals scars. Mix half Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) to moisturize and half Castor Oil (CO) to cleanse, change mix as your skin changes, also try adding tea tree oil as it’s antibacterial. Massage mix into your face, then put a hot face cloth onto your face for at least 1 minute, this opens up pores letting the oil cleanse. Wipe off oil, any trace amounts of oil are absorbed so skin won’t be greasy. http://www.moogoo.com.au/category13_1.htm Have your own face cloth and towel, keep them clean and dry to avoid bacteria growth which can cause spots. Moisturize daily, as long as it’s not greasy it won’t cause spots, but don’t be scared to use oils such as Bio Oil which will heal scars too, remember oil is actually good for your skin.
Once a week steam to open pores by putting your head under a towel over a bowl of hot water, but don’t do this during breakouts as it stimulates blood flow and oil glands which can make things worse. Exfoliate weekly to scrub off dead skin, use something with rounded beads as things such as apricot kernels have sharp edges which cause small cuts leading to spots. Another way to exfoliate is cosmetic vinegar which also promotes circulation, regulates skins pH and is antiseptic. Mix 500ml of apple cider vinegar, 3ml lavender essential oil, 3ml rosemary essential oil, 2ml rosewood essential oil, and 2 tablespoons glycerine. Place into a glass bottle, use as cleanser by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 cup of water. Try masks too, they are easy to make and there are many recipes online, see Make Your Own Cosmetics http://www.makeyourcosmetics.com or Pioneer Thinking http://www.pioneerthinking.com try this mask;
Strawberry acne mask;
Ingredients: ½ cup fresh strawberries, 1 egg white, 2 teaspoons of honey.
Mix together ingredients until smooth using a blender or a fork. To use spread over face and leave for 15 minutes, rinse off with cool water and pat dry. This one is good as strawberries are rich in salicylic acid which is commonly used in acne treatments, honey is also antibacterial.
Keep yourself healthy, diet is a big factor so make sure to get a healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables as well as a lot of water, but avoid salty foods as iodine aggravates acne, try also a good multivitamin – vitamins A, B6, zinc and chromium help to clean up acne. Get plenty of exercise, sleep and stay stress-free. Pay particular attention to your skin during harsh weather when it is more prone to damage, also avoid agrivation from the sun by using plenty of sunscreen. Make-up is best avoided all together, but if you do wear it use as little as possible and keep your make-up clean as dirty sponges or hands in make-up causes spots. Use mineral foundation as it has great coverage but is light so won’t clog pores and is free from harmful ingredients, most commercial brands make mineral ranges now so it’s easy to find.
I get a pain the whole way down my left side and am taking anti inflamitary tablets but would rather not if there was an alternative
Not sure what type but has been suggested it was caused by an injury I sustained when I was hit by a car a number of years ago and hit my head on windscreen
You don’t say what form of arthritis, and that makes all the dirfference in what treatments would be effective in your case. Moreover, I wonder what sort of tests were done… some arthritic-like conditions can lead to serious complications and need further treatment. I’d be sure to get a thorough checkup if the doc didn’t already. And it’s always good to get a second opinion when dealing with arhtritis and the spine.
As for herbal remedies, unfortunately, most of them are ineffective. Again, what you would use depends largely on the exact form of arthritis that you have. For the latest research on arthritic illnesses and herbal supplements, check out PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine, at http://www.pubmed.com/
(type the illness and a specific supplement in the search box, e.g. arthritis fish oil)
Also, be careful what information you get from books and websites… depend heavily on university and government sources- they’re the most likely to have the latest state-of-the art information.
By the way, for many arthritis-like conditions, their causes and treatments are no longer a complete mystery. Find information at webmd.com and drkoop.com
UPDATE: Since you stated in "Additional Details" that the condition is probably related to a neck injury, you may be rather limited in effective supplement-based treatments for osteoarhritis. Again, check PubMed BEFORE you use a supplement recommended by friend, book, or website.
There may be limited benefit from S-adenosyl-l-methionine/SAMe (very very expensive at effective doses and hard to find high quality SAMe), glucosamine and chondroiton may be less effective than SAMe, and omega-3 fish oil has shown promise in recent studies. Check the studies for safety, dose, and effectiveness before you buy! And always discuss your supplemements with your doctor so drug-supplement interactions can be anticipated. REMEMBER that there have been very few studies on the long-term negative health effects of most dietary and herbal supplements!
Where can a homeopathic doctor legally practice homeopathy in usa? how to get a license to practice homeopathy in usa? My brother’s wife is a a Homeopathic doctor in India and she’ll be moving up here in a year. What additional steps does she have to go through to practice here? Does she have to go to school again? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
I really don’t know. My brother uses a private practice Homeopathic doctor. You do have some drawbacks. You cannot write notes to patients jobs or schools or he could get arrested. You could try and see if a hospital gets him.
I live in Lexington, South Carolina… near Columbia. I have no idea where to go and find this out.
A natural cures doctor does not perscribe man-made drugs to heal people. They use cheaper and less harmful methods.
SC.. not NC
I don’t know about a natural cures doctor in your area, but I know of a product that will provide your body with optimal nutrition.
