how can I help my neighbor have more of a whilte blood cell count?

By on Friday, February 3rd, 2012 | 2 Comments

My neighbor got a blood infection back in 2006 and now has a low white blood cell count. He missed so much work and lost his insurance and we are looking for a over-the-counter food or herbal remedy to help him out. He is sick all of the time due to his low white blood cell count. I know zinc and stuff in chicken and echinecea can help but is there anything else he can do to help?

Do I have “rectal bleeding?” I’m 21 yrs. old. Please help.?

Question by [darkhorse]: Do I have “rectal bleeding?” I’m 21 yrs. old. Please help.?
This is a serious question, so please answer me seriously. If you don’t know, just ignore this.

My story goes like this:
I have had this “droplet” of blood (as seen on the tissue paper I use) when I defecate since around highschool perhaps (I’m not sure when it started, but it had been present for quite a long time). However, this “event” only happens very occasionally. I have told my mom about this before and she said that “it happens,” esp. when “you have ‘hard’ stool.” However still, I am not a “hard stool” guy, but more of a “soft/liquid stool.”
And so, why do I have this “bleeding?” Is this normal?

What alarmed me most recently is that I have been having this “bleeding” for around 2 weeks or more now, when I defecate every morning. Furthermore, the blood volume I bleed is not 1 droplet like before, but now around 2-3 droplets (this is an approximation) and quite bright red in color.

What should do then? Should I consult a doctor or should I wait for “this” to subside?

You really need to see a doctor – this could be serious… it could even be early cancer (sorry)

My tongue looks wierd and it hurts, help?

Question by meee: My tongue looks wierd and it hurts, help?
is it possible to literally wash off one’s taste buds with a toothbrush? I was brushing my tongue this morning but i didn’t feel anything strange but when i rinsed with mouth wash i felt my tongue was all cut up and i looked at it and it looks like..strange like no tatse buds on some parts, like lil patches of smooth “gum”. Then i brushed my tongue before bed and some blood came out. Did i kill off some of my taste buds (is that possible?) or did i just truly irritate my tongue??..it looks too smooth in some spots
Lets just say my tongue is not one solid red/pinkish color right now.
Any advice or ideas? thx
i don’t mean literally brush them off but with time to like, totally damage them or something.

my opinion is you just irritate it. i think you would be in a lot of pain if you brushed them off.

Could you please help me define my disorder?

Question by Maverick: Could you please help me define my disorder?
I only want the answer to the question above. My parents say that I am a good kid. That I never get into major trouble, that my GPA is untouchable (4.7) and that i am a nice person. However, as that question states there is a problem. I am EXTREMELY hard on myself for a 16 year old. I do the smallest things wrong, like forgetting to wear my hearing aids, and I feel like I just obliterated my week. I know that what my parents say is true, but I can only focus on the negative aspects of my life. Obviously, my self esteem is a little low. This was all fine, until about five years ago. The first year I started causing physical pain to myself, but i never broke the skin. As I grew older, I started to increase the frequency and intensity. Now, I am stabbing myself with blunt objects hard enough to cause bruising and bleeding. Also, it seems as if i can actually feel waves of hatred flowing off of me. I know that “cutting” is wrong and that I shouldn’t do it, but it seems now that I am addicted. Similar to how a person gets addicted to smoking. They start smoking before they realize it is a bad habit. Once they do realize that it is wrong, they are too late. So, please don’t post, “you need to stop cutting.” Like most cutters, I have kept this secret. My Mother is a major contributor to this issue, due to her tendency to get pissed over the “small” things I do. I have almost broke up my parents several times in the past, but my Dad will not be the same. I feel that I will not be able to tell him, for it will just make our problems worst. I would rather deal with this and any other situation on my own, than turn to him for help on something that will only hurt. I am suicidal. I will not be committing to it anytime soon, but I fear that the day will come. My Dad says that the reason I am good kid is that I listen to the advice of those with more experience. Since I cannot turn to relatives, I will now open my mind to what you have to say.
Thank you for the time you took to reply.

Let’s Help 6 yr. old Amit Win Her Game of Life and Death!

By on Monday, November 21st, 2011 | 2 Comments


Amit Kadosh turned six years old on September 3rd, 2008. Amit began first grade at the local K’far Saba elementary school on September 1. About a month later, she was diagnosed with AML, a kind of leukemia which is rarely found in children. In order to save Amit’s life, she desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. Her brother Omer, who was the most likely candidate for an optimum match, was tested and found to be incompatible. The only chance for Amit is to find a donor from an unrelated stem cell donor. Until now, no matching donor has been found in any registry in the world. Ezer Mizion has scheduled a stem cell donor recruitment drive in the hope that the person who will be Amit’s perfect match will join the registry and save her life. The drive will take place throughout Israel on Wednesday, January 21. We hope that thousands of donors will join that day and save Amit’s life and the life of hundreds of other patients across the globe whose only hope for survival is a stem cell transplant.

HELP!!!! do i need to go with her she might be pregnant!! lots of answers please?

By on Friday, November 18th, 2011 | 5 Comments

My fiance/girlfriend is 18 and im 22 we are engaged. we had sex a lot before her period like 3times while she was on her period and about 4 times after her period. i ejaculated in her all times. She made a doctors appointment on the 19th and i don’t know if i should go with her or to give her space.
one day we were arguing all day and she said the whole time her stomach was feeling funny(butterflies maybe, she didn’t describe it) she is sleepless through the nights i will wake up at like 3a.m and she will be sitting there watching tv or on the computer, she usually falls asleep at about 4-6a.m, she will wake up at about 1p.m with energy but yawns through out the whole day. sometimes she pees a lot and sometimes she doesn’t. she said her nipples feel funny as if they hurt or are sensitive when you run your hand across them. she is sometimes having problems using the bathroom but not all the time, constipation. she is moody like hell, i take her and her little brother out and she gets mad over stupid little things and she is very impatient now and gets frustrated out of nowhere. when she hears a song like purple rain she will almost cry.

the 2 questions are: What are her chances of being pregnant?
and
Should i go with her to find out?

sorry its long.just so worried and excited need a bunch of answers!
and her tummy is bloated. and she can eat the whole refrigeratoror if she wanted to without getting full! she ate 5 kristals a hotdog some soup all in 1 hour!! most of the time she has to drink something because her mouth gets dry alot. before she brushes her teeth in the morning she tastes blood and her gums bleed alittle and she brushes really soft..ohh yea she gets light headed if she stands up or walks around to long. And when she gets up when she sits down she gets dizzy and stuff
