Why do people go to MD's for cures when all they can do is mask your symptoms? Ask any MD if they can cure you and all they can say is "No, but I can treat your symptoms". Like samharveymd, he says that there are no alternative cures for hernia's. What does he think they did for them back in the 19th century before surgeries? God has given us all cures for every disease, man made and other. All you have to do is a little research.
admin answers: Are you aware that in the last 100 years, average life expectancy has climbed for 40 to 75? That's a result of a lot of things, but a large part is the development of evidence based medicine. Physicians and researchers test possible cures and reject those that don't work. Are you aware that in the 1960's, childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia was a death sentence? Now, more than 95% of children with it achieve long term disease free survival. Yes, your MD cannot cure the common cold. The good news is that all it needs is symptomatic care. Hernias? I've been on medical mission trips to Haiti where there were men who had hernias literally to their knees. Luckily we had a surgeon with us who was skilled at such things, and he operated 14 hours a day for 7 straight days. The men with hernias were immensely grateful! As for God, thank God that he created men and women who are willing to dedicate their lives to serving the health and saving the lives of others.

What are the doifferent types of surgeons? I want to become a surgeon but im a long ways off still. Just wondering what are the different tyoes, i know neuro and cardiovascular what else?
admin answers: Cardiothoracic surgeonCardiothoracic surgeons treat diseases of the chest wall, gullet, lungs, pleura and heart. Cardiac surgeons limit their practice to the heart and its major blood vessels. Thoracic surgeons specialise in chest surgery but do not perform heart surgery. Colorectal surgeonColorectal surgeons specialise in the surgical treatment of disorders of the lower intestine (the colon, anus and rectum). Examples include treatment for cancer, ulcerative colitis, twists of the colon causing obstruction, or investigate bleeding or other symptoms. Colorectal surgeons also treat hernias, piles, fissures and fistulas and rectal prolapse. Ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon (also known as an otorhinolaryngologist from the Greek words for ear, nose and larynx) ENT surgeons operate on disease of this part of the body (eg the tonsils and adenoids, the nose and nasal sinuses, tumours of the throat, and sometimes the salivary glands and the thyroid gland). Endocrine surgeonEndocrine surgeons specialise in the surgery of diseases of the hormone-producing glands (eg the thyroid, and the adrenal glands or the pancreas). Neonatal surgeonMore specialised than paediatric surgeons, neonatal surgeons operate on very young babies up to the age of one or two months old, including premature babies. They treat conditions such as congenital obstructions of the gullet, bowel or anus, urinary obstruction or reflux, or abnormalities of the spinal cord such as spina bifida. Obstetrician and gynaecologistA surgeon who specialises in the care of the pregnant woman and her foetus (obstetrics) and women’s conditions, especially those affecting the reproductive organs (gynaecology). Obstetric surgeons’ work includes normal and abnormal childbirth,
2 / 10
Caesarean sections and termination of pregnancy. Gynaecological surgeons operate on the uterus, cervix, ovaries and associated organs and structures, and are involved in the treatment of fertility. OphthalmologistOpthalmologists undertake surgery of the eyes, eyelids and bony surrounds of the eye (the orbits). Examples of an ophthalmologists work include cataract operations, lens implants, corneal grafts, treating ocular injuries, squints, diabetic retinopathy and rodent (malignant) ulcers near the eyelids. Oral and Maxillofacial surgeonSometimes called a faciomaxillary or an oromaxillofacial surgeon. This specialist holds qualifications in surgery as well as in dentistry. Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons perform operations on the head and neck not included in ENT, ophthalmology or neurosurgery (there may be some overlap). Oral and maxillofacial surgeons operate on tumours and cysts of the face, jaw, tongue and salivary glands, or after accidents or sports injuries to this part of the body. They also treat congenital or developmental disorders of the skull, facial bones and jaws, including cleft palate. Orthopaedic surgeonOrthopaedic surgeons specialise in bone and major joint disease. Their work includes treating fractures, performing hip and knee replacements, examining the inside of the joints (arthroscopy), operations for back problems and correcting abnormal foot or leg development in children (e.g. Club foot). Some orthopaedic surgeons specialise further to become experts in hand, knee, shoulder or spinal operations. Paediatric surgeonPaediatric surgeons treat surgical conditions in children up to the age of 14-16 years, such as hernias, undescended testes, congenital abnormalities of the gut, kidney or urinary system, and childhood tumours. Plastic and reconstructive surgeonThese surgeons deal with surgery of the skin and soft tissues all over the body. The skills of plastic and reconstructive surgeons are required for serious burns and skin grafting; reconstruction after accidents or cancer; removal of warts, moles or tattoos; removal of excess fat from the very overweight (including liposuction); cosmetic surgery of the nose, eyelids, face, lips, ears, breasts; repair of tendons and damaged joints in the hands; and skin and soft tissue repairs in large wounds. Surgery carried out simply to improve appearance is called cosmetic surgery. Upper gastro-intestinal surgeonUpper gastro-intestinal surgeons specialise in operations on the stomach (and sometimes the gullet), hiatus hernia, biliary system, pancreas, upper intestines, and the appendix. Urological surgeonsUrological surgeons treat problems in the urinary system (eg kidney and bladder stones and tumours, enlargement of the prostate, disorders of the penis, testis or scrotum). Vascular surgeonVascular surgeons operate on the blood vessels (ie arteries and veins) for conditions such as blockages or dilations (aneurysms) in the major arteries in the abdomen or legs. They also operate for conditions such as varicose veins or complications of venous

thrombosis, and carry out bypass grafts in the abdomen or lower limb. Vascular surgeons may also undertake major and minor amputations of the lower limbs, and microsurgery on small blood vessels (eg in reconnecting a severed finger). I hope this helped.

How do i know if i have a low sperm count? My partner and i had sex for more than 30 minutes and i didnt ejaculate. I know how pre-ejaculating is but she said that if we have sex for along time and i didnt ejaculate then i have low-sperm count. Please let me of signs or any way of telling if i have low sperm count... Thanks.
admin answers: I am going to try to respond to this question with basic answers and hope it answers your question. 1. "Volume of ejaculate" and "actual sperm count" are two different things and shouldn't be confused. [for example: you can have 1/2 a tablespoon of sperm that would have "less" sperm than a 1/4 tablespoon] 2. You can't see or tell "noticeable symptoms" of a low sperm count. (color, viscosity etc. Etc. Are not indicators of sperm count). Only under the microscope can you assess sperm! 3. When sperm is evaluated under the microscope...they are looking for more than just numbers (by the way...it only takes ONE to get an egg fertile....but the chances are increased with greater numbers due to other variables that serve as barriers) ADDITIONALLY...they are looking for motility (liveliness ---how well they swim). And how healthy they are....defective ones don't win the race to the egg! ....so quality is as important as quaint. 4. Whether an individual has one or two testicles will not affect the pregnancy rate. But if BOTH testicles are undefended that is a problem. The body heat will prevent or retard testicular development and adversely effect sperm cell production (see treatment below) 5. Radiation, some chemicals and certain drugs can be detrimental to sperm production and
7 / 10
lower the count. One of the biggest reasons is ----> HEAT (SEE below #6) 6. Treatment....general good health practices....nutrition, exercise, rest are important. The numbers fair better if the sperm donor is not ejaculating three times a day...and every other day would usually work adequately. The BIGGEST reason is probably "heat related". When tight underwear/pants are worn to compress the testicles against the body to expose them to greater heat ...this adversely affects sperm production (just like if they are not descended). If they are not descended by age 10 to12 they will not develop and testicular cancer becomes a risk also. This is why doctors are checking preadolescences for undefended testicles and inquinal hernias ("turn your head and cough?") ...requires surgical intervention if found. ALSO, if a low sperm count is found...nix the very hot soaking baths (heat again ...is the culprit!). But the effects are short term and the numbers return soon. DES (diethylstibesterol) "intrauterine exposed" male babies in the 1950's are reported to have a greater incidence of low sperm counts due to hypoplastic (smaller than normal) testicles. That drug was given to women who had repeated miscarriges...to prevent them from spontaneously aborting. Just a word of caution....if you are attempting to lower your sperm count as a means of birth control...it won't work....it only takes one to make someone pregnant. I dont know how old you are...but there are reproductive health doctors and urologists that make a very good living if you find this interesting.

How do I stop my stomach from being bloated? I eat healthy. no meat. no dairy. fast food. junfood. candy or soda. i exercise an hour a day. it hurts so bad. after i eat i cant make it go away.
8 / 10
admin answers: Possible causes of bloating include: The most common causes of chronic stomach bloating are irregular digestive processes which produce gases at a much higher rate than normal. Pre-menstrual Tension (PMT) - The symptoms tend to disappear or greatly improve once the bleeding actually starts. Contraceptive pill Too much alcohol Salt, or processed foods in your diet - even a small amount of excess sodium causes bloating. Too little protein in diet. Doctors believe that bloating is usually the result of an intestinal disorder, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The cause of IBS is unknown, but may involve abnormal movements and contractions of intestinal muscles and increased pain sensitivity in the intestine. These disorders may give a sensation of bloating because of increased sensitivity to gas. Carbonated Drinks- Fizzy drinks, including soda pop and spritzers, increase bloating because the carbon dioxide trapped in the bubbles creates gas, which slows down stomach emptying. Water intake: Many women believe that drinking too much water will give them puffy abs, but just the opposite is true. Even though we associate water with being bloated, drinking more water can help to flush sodium out of the body, and that reduces the bloat. Lactose Intolerance- sometimes your stomach is unable to digest the lactose--or milk sugar--in dairy foods leading to bloating. Food allergies can cause your stomach to puff out, too. But this is a reaction of the immune system involving the whole body, and usually hives and runny nose are the more prominent symptoms. Any disease that causes intestinal inflammation or obstruction, such as Crohn's disease or colon cancer, may also cause abdominal bloating. In addition, people who have had many operations, adhesions (scar tissue), or internal hernias may experience bloating or pain. Finally, eating a lot of fatty food can delay stomach emptying and cause bloating and discomfort.
