Question 1

what is buergers disease and what are the causes?

Accepted Answer

Cause is unknown: The true cause of buerger's disease is not known, but mostly diagnosed in male smokers age 40 or younger (becoming more common in women too). It is a rare disease affecting blood vessels of arms/legs--the inside becomes inflammed and narrowed at times blocking the blood flow thus killing the tissues as seen in picture here. Smoking is thus= biggest trigger. Stay smoke-free, kachita1. Good luck.

Question 2

so i have buergers diease and smoke prescribed marijuana, that will affect my buergers diease ??

Accepted Answer

Probably not good: Definitely discuss this situation w/ ALL of your physicians. Perhaps there is another method for obtaining the cannabis benefits - children are prescribed smokeless forms. Preventing any compromise in blood oxygen levels seems critical.

Question 3

i'm apx 10 weeks pregnant and have congestive heart failure, buergers disease and a pacemaker. is it possible to have a full term pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but high risk: Due to these conditions, yours will be seen as high risk and ALL your Dr(s) - OBGYN, cardios, etc need to work together. QUIT SMOKING if you still do!  The rare disease you name is even more rare in females so risks will be unknown but w/ good care and your full compliance it's probably possible - but prepared to have lots of help for perhaps a few years. Good luck! Best wishes.

Question 6

is weider fat burners effective?

Accepted Answer

Fat burner: There are many pages of ads for this product when one googles it. There is however no evidence it does what it says. It probably is effective at making money for its production company. It is unlikely to have 'fat burning' effect.

Question 7

which fat burners are effective?

Accepted Answer

The hype : Unfortunately as a doctor I am not aware of any "legitimate" or "fda approved" fat burners. Some of these are essentially medications that increase a persons' metabolic rate but at the price of being addictive and require a doctors prescription (such as amphetamines).  The safer option is work with a bariatrician (medical weight loss specialist), join a gym and go slow.
