Gloveban on "Herbs for Rosacea"

Gloveban — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:42:22 +0000

I am a 20 year old male and have rosacea (on both cheeks and nose, but much more on the nose), I constantly have a greasy, red, inflamed nose. Pretty much ANYTHING will give me a flare up, its really dominating my life. Is the "Coptis Purge fire" pills good for redness on the nose?

Thanks

This is what I found on Ebony. I take the 2 Day Slimming Formula and I lost 11 pounds in 1 month. But I too want to know more about the ingredients. I have had no side effects.
EBONY
Scientific name : Diospyros mollis Griff

Family : EBENACEA

Diospyros mollis is middle-size perennial plant to big size in tapering shape. Its blossom is a big bunch which composed of small blossoms in yellow-green color. The circle fruit is green. When the fruit is completely ripe,it will provide many fruits.
The part used as medicine for parasites.
The raw fruit (the overripe one with ripe yellow, the black one is prohibited)
Taste and Quality

("I don't know what they mean by that") It's quality is being able to pass the taper worm out.

Some side effects are related to blurry vision even blindness in allergic reactions. Some may be allergic to this drug. It may cause diarrhea, feeling tight around chest, having headache, vomiting or can't see anything clearly.

Can any of you tell me if the pill you take is an orange and white capsule? My friend is taking something similar. She buys them from an asian woman who will not disclose the actual product name, only the ingredients... and I'm sure she has them highly marked up. The ingredients are exactly what has been mentioned on this board though. And her results have been similar.

I wanted to comment on the japanese 2 day diet pills that were mentioned above. I ordered them recently and started taking them about 5 days ago. Last night, i went into the emergency room because i was having an allergic reaction to them. my face and hands became very red and swollen and itchy, i was having dizzy spells, my throat and tongue were beginning to swell and my heart rate was over 130. i brought the pills into the ER with me for the doctor to look at, and when she called poinson control, she found that the culprit was the fox-nut in them. apparently fox nut is aphedrin (sorry if spelled wrong) or is somehow related to it. she compared the ingredient to the drug speed, and told me that i was allergic to it. obviously, not everyone is going to be allergic to aphedrin or have the same reaction that i did, but i just want to put the warning out there. japan is not regulated by the fda and the doses and ingredients that are put into those pills are not regulated either. the doses could be inconsistent and harmful. thanks for your time, mama.

Hi Letha,
I am having chronic yeast infections. Sometimes I might have a break from them for a month or so and then I have them again. Every time I have a smear it shows candida. I did test for STD-negative.I tried creams and Diflucan, I take probiotics.I ate yougurt and tried to stay on all protein-vegetable only diet - but within a week or so my kidneys start to heart( I have stones) and I think that eating too much meat/ fish/eggs is not agood idea.I eat mostly homemade food,soops, buckweat; no pork and ocassional beef. Mostly chicken/turkey/fish. I have ocasional sweets but it's not like I eat candy all day. I read in your book Asian Health Secrets that It may be beneficial to take Sexoton pills 3times a day 8 pills but it does not say for how long?? Could a hormone imbalance cause my yeast infections. The only advise from the conventional doctors I get is to stay on the maintanance therapy of Diflucan once a week for indefinite time. But when I start thinking about my poor Liver I oppose to this kind of treatment. I need to find a way to prevent it - not treat it with harsh medications. Please help with any advise you have. Thank you.

Bekah on "Muscles, tightness, etc"

Bekah — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:28:04 +0000

Hello Letha -
As you know I've quit smoking (4/17/09) and gone to the gym quite often (6x a week) and have lost weight. Okay - so August 4th I popped my calf muscle had to wait 4 weeks to get that healed while I did other things. Those other things are cardio - upper body - core work - quads and butt but nothing to "engage" the calf mucsle.

Popped it again on Sept 15 then waited about 6 weeks for it to heal doing the above and started back last week with heavier weights and more calf exercises. Blew it out again last Friday in Boxing class....

I am sooooo bummed! I finally found some workouts and knowledgeable person to work out with and lost some weight and found a gym with some decent classes (spin, bodypump, yoga, pilates, boxing, body combat) and now this is happening.

I feel like I'm tight and brittle and un-flexible (I know oxymoron) like maybe I'm not hydrated enough but I drink at least 1 liter of water during a workout sometimes 2. I know I should drink more but cant - I drink juice, protein shakes, coffee, milk - you would think I drink enough but I feel like I'm a piano wire...does that make sense???

Yoga has helped A LOT!!!! And the instructor I have is GREAT! But I was wondering - is there something I could be doing besides just R.I.C.E (rest, ice, compression, elevation) for this - the doc told me there really wasn't anything they could do unless I snapped my Achilles tendon.

I just turned 44 yesterday - this can't be what the rest of my life will look like - I refuse to believe I can't lose weight or get my body in shape - I'm not looking to be 20 again but c'mon - there are plenty of asian ppl who are in great shape at 80 - so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any advice you can offer...

Lisa on "breast cancer, healing from chemo"

Lisa — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:04:08 +0000

Hi Letha,
My friend at work is going thru chemo after having her left breast removed. Her story is politically relevant as her entire treatment is paid from public sources. She is a very beautiful, dignified woman so it is important for me to find good ways to supplement her treatments with healing that might counteract the negativity involved with chemo. Any suggestions and guidance are more than welcome. She has two more treatments and will be finished with the chemo at Thanksgiving, smile.
I hope you are enjoying life!
All the best to you,
Lisa

Thanks to all for this information.

I just bought 5X Perfect Slim from a Asian market yesterday. The pills were not cheap. For 60 capsules, the price was $59.00 plus Sales Tax.

I was using another product I liked a lot called Slim 5 but the company suddenly closed and left no forwarding information. So off to the Asian district I went-to find out if I could find a similar product. They sold me this product called 5X Perfect Slim. It sounds like this product has the same ingredients most of you describe.

The new pills have Eborny, Fox-nut, Tuckahoe, Semen Pruni, Dioscoreae and Wheat Germ. The box does not state how much of these ingredients are in the product. I was concerned about trying a new product but judging from the previous posts, it sounds safe. Am I correct?

The only waring on the box is that people with serious heart disease, thyroid issues, pregnant women and breast feeding women should not use the product.

I am Hypo-thyroid but have heard when a product states not to use if you have a thyroid issue, what they mean is folks who are Hyper-Thyroid. I do not know as I am not a doctor if these statements are true.

I am going to try the product and run the ingredients by my doctor and see if he thinks it is safe to use.

LoriDeWees on "Reoccurring Pimple in delicate area"

LoriDeWees — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 23:25:54 +0000

Hello, Letha: My husband has a reoccurring "pimple" or "cyst" at the bottom of his tailbone within the buttock cheek fold. It's painful for him to sit down when it is active. Finally, he let me see it (he's very embarrassed about it although we've been married for years!)and it looks like a "pimple" full of puss. It's so sore he won't do anything to pop it although it is seeping puss on its own. He's been putting neosporin on it but it doesn't seem to work--this has been lasting for at least 6 weeks now. He's had this before in the past and its gone away on its own so he doesn't want to see a doctor. Mean while, he's in pain. Do you have any recommendation that we might try? He read somewhere that it could be an ingrown hair. We thank you in advance for any recommendation(s) you might have. Lori

LoriDeWees on "Fire Sign--Too Much"

LoriDeWees — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:17:21 +0000

Hello! I recently had some polarity/reflexology work done to help me with my severe sinus pain & headaches. Every night I am awakened if not once but twice with severe pain on one side of my face (it alternates sides)--neck, face, and jaw--it feels like nerve endings are exposed. I use a nasal moisturizer, and I topically either a hot water bottle or frozen bag of veggies to help with the pain (use of the netti pot was drying my sinuses out too much). Recently, the person who worked on me for polarity/reflexology told me that I have an over abundance of fire energy in my head, which is causing my inflammation. My feet run cold--no heat. Could this be related to problems with thyroid? In the past I have suffered from adrenal fatigue as well. I would be out flat if it were not for all the vitamin supplements I take on a daily basis, yoga, and exercise. Any advice on how I can balance the fire.

My 13 year old male cat, Joxer, was just diagnosed with lymphosarcoma (gastric sarcoma) and I am trying to learn about all the possible treatment options. My vet has told me about a protocol that is standardly used for this type of cancer in both dogs and cats. But, I am interested in learning about other natural options that could be curative or possibly slow down the progession of the disease while maintaing a good quality of life for him. Is there anything that you can suggest? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Dear Letha, thank you for your reply. I want to share with you that using an herbal liquid form of Dong Quai with Wild Yam produced almost immediate results. The cyst is completely gone although the sac remains, and chances are it may fill up again. The same extract is helping me cope with hot flashes--I'm in the peri-menapausal stage (just turned 50 years young!). My latest challenge is bone density. It's always something....

kevinthomas on "no sensitivity in my penis"

kevinthomas — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:44:19 +0000

The outer foreskin layer contains sensitivity nerve endings which respond to gentle touching during the early stages of sexual arousal. The sensitivity nerves of the inner and outer foreskin contribute to the experience of penile stimulation, up to and including orgasm. A "short foreskin" may be an indication of a deformity problem that is affecting the nerves endings.
I think your theory is right, since the short foreskin exposes the penis head, the skin has dried out (which is normally covered by the foreskin), and this could possibly have affected the nerve endings in the skin. Try some mild over the counter lubricant from the pharmacy on the head of your penis and see if that helps. Getting and keeping moisture to the penis head skin is important.

Even I was doubtful, it was my first time taking a pill, though I had no problem getting an erection. Adds of Generic Viagra were pouring in from everywhere and I decided to capitalize on this new drug for Impotency. Somebody suggested its easily available from Shoppillrx. I ordered a 50mg pack of Generic Viagra and it has worked very well. There wasn't a noticeable difference until the 3rd dose for me. Because it allows more blood to flow into the area, there is a slight increase in size, but the orgasms are a little less intense. In any event, the stuff did a nice job of correcting my problem.I can go for a long time now before climaxing, and there is better control. Hope this helps...for a long time for me.

kevinthomas on "Will Viagra affect the staying power?"

kevinthomas — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:49:12 +0000

Well Viagra medicine works, when you are sexually excited, the penis fills with blood to cause an erection. It will last about 4-hours if you do not ejaculate and stay excited. The prescription drug will not help premature ejaculation.
