    Smoking Commercials

    The commercials are absolutely more graphic, but I don't know if it's doing much. Many young people are picking up smoking in college...still. Addictive substances will always have a committed following, regardless of knowledge of it's detrimental value.

    Herbal or Pharmaceutical?

    I agree. I would be looking for a new vet who cares more about the animals than making a buck. All doctors, vets included are bombarded by pharmaceutical reps pushing their junk all in the name of profit, not health.

    Gargle Sage for Sore Throat

    That's really interesting. I love sage myself so I may give this a try. I have gargled with saltwater whenever I feel a sore throat coming on and it has always worked well for me.

    Am I going bald?

    I have blonde hair and it's always been thin. Lately, though it seems like it's getting worse. What can I do about this? No one else in my family has this problem. What can women do if they are losing their hair?

    Flies

    I would use a cotton swab and apply some hydrogen peroxide in between the folds. It is cheap and safe to use on your pets ears.

    Pregnancy massages

    I have a girlfriend who always gets massages and she continued throughout her entire pregnancy. Her massage therapist even had a special table for her with the belly cut out so she could lay flat.

    Craving what makes you sick?

    I have heard that oddly people tend to crave things that actually make them sick. Lactose intolerance and an overall bad reaction to dairy products runs in my family, yet we love to eat these foods. Why is that?

    Surgery

    Please do follow your doctors orders. There are many reasons you shouldn't be eating before surgery and the risk of aspiration is very real. It's a small sacrifice that could very well save your life.

    Too OCD

    I can certainly see how having an obsessive compulsive disorder is counterintuitive to meditative principles. People that suffer from this are really suffering with control issues, and a big part of meditation is about releasing control and letting go.

    Candida (yeast)

    This is something I have vaguely heard about in the past. Are their certain symptoms associated with an overall overgrowth of yeast in the body?

    Avoiding Being Bald

    Hair loss is hereditary and I think for men it is not as traumatic as it is for women. A man can look sexy when he shaves his head....a woman looks like she's receiving chemo. My sister lost 50% of her hair in her early 30's. She wears wigs to deal with it.

    Natural facial treatments

    I have oily skin ad I would never think of putting olive oil on it. Perhaps something like oatmeal and lemon would work for someone like me. Any suggestions for treatments for oily skin?

    No stress

    Same here Shaun. I'm just better all around when I'm not stressing out. My most productive days at work are days when I'm 'in the moment' not fretting about yesterday or tomorrow. Sometimes getting to that carefree place is elusive however.

    Will detoxing help?

    I eat a salad a day and that keeps me feeling just right. If I eat too much bread starchy products or dairy I am bloated and sick. Watch out for the coffee, it is a diuretic and it can trigger constipation too. Drink plenty of water. I ued a colon cleansing pill I bought at the drug store and it...

    Acid reflux

    I've had a problem with this as well. I notice when I eat foods high in fat that triggers it...pizza is something that I can not tolerate at all....it gives me heartburn for hours. Oddly, I found eating plain old celery at the onset seems to get rid of it very quickly. I have no idea how or why...

    Indoor herb gardens

    I've had an indoor herb garden in my bay window which has a southern exposure. Cilantro, one of my least favorite herbs, grew like wildfire. Basil and oregano were fast growing as well.

    What Does Lavender Do?

    Lavender is an antiseptic as well as an anti inflammatory agent. I mix one part lavender oil with 10 parts witch hazel for an effective homemade acne remedy.

    skeptics?

    Some people are just stuck in their own ignorance. They will not try any herbal remedies until they have found absolutely no positive results from modern medicine completely. That's what happened to me. A real hardhead I am.

    Ear Infections

    I've never heard very much on how to remove earwax or how to keep from recurring ear infections. Is there a method to doing a deep cleansing that is safe and effective and could help reduce ear infections?
