Question 1

thank you to dr bennett warner.  for re laying to my sickness just for last time last monday i did heart cath is clear forth one in 10 years sir ?

Accepted Answer

Not sure of your ?: I'm not certain what you're asking but if you're asking if a normal heart cath means that you will be normal for the next 10 years, it does not. A heart cath should not be mistaken for a crystal ball. No one can predict the future. If your cath is completely normal tho, at 43, you must be living a healthy lifestyle and that bodes well for the future. Best of luck!

Question 2

my 8 week old son is colic. is it safe to give bennetts colic syrup daily? we only want to give him some before and after his feed before "witching hour" in the evening. the dose will be a portion of what is recommended. o.5ml he is 6.8kg?

Accepted Answer

Should be safe: Always best to ask pediatrician too but this formula (Bennett’s) is quite safe especially if very low dose used. Simethicone is one ingredient &amp; it helps with stomach/intestinal gas (which is often thought to be a factor in baby colic). the other ingredients are herbal.

Question 3

i have stronger odor in left armpit for 20 days, doesn't go away with washing easily. dr bennett said here this may be due malignancy, but what type?

Accepted Answer

One idea: There is a strain of corynebacterium that produces an unusual odor sometimes in just one. I am not an expert on this, but you could try shaving it and using benzoyl peroxide. If this fails, I apologize in advance; check with your personal physician.

Question 4

how can i tell if i have got a bennetts fracture?

Accepted Answer

Xray: A Bennetts fx is at the base of the thumb metacarpal.  Ligamentous attachments cause displacement which makes appropriate healing with only a cast difficult.  These often require surgical treatment

Question 5

dr. bennett; what type of malignancy did you have in mind, that causes (different than before) body odor under one armpit, please?

Accepted Answer

None: There is NO malignancy that would cause an odor in only one armpit.  Odors here are from bacteria that live on the skin, mixing with sweat from the glands surrounding the hairs.  The sweat odor can be affected by emotion, but not in only one pit!  Keep very clean, wipe the pits with alcohol if you like, let dry then follow with a good deodorant containing aluminum chlorhydrate.  Good luck!

Question 6

how long does it take to recover from bennett's thumb fracture?

Accepted Answer

8 weeks: The fracture heals by 8 weeks but you will notice improvement up to one year.

Question 7

hello dr bennett, i have experienced hardening of the bladder wall after chemo and radio treatment for stage 4 bladder cancer, will this condition go?

Accepted Answer

Will remain: Best results are for lesions of the mucosa.  Once bladder wall invaded, especially with extension beyond the bladder then depending on overall situation, radical cystectomy with neobladder utilized.  If lesion too advanced primary lesion therapy may be relegated to local RT chemo for control of symptoms.

Question 8

how can  jenny craig work?

Accepted Answer

Program: You are provided education about weight loss, monitoring, weigh ins & purchase foods that make up part of what you eat while on the program.

Question 9

i need to put weight on. how can i use jennie craig to do it?

Accepted Answer

Weight gain: I believe that the jennie craig program is designed for weight loss. Have you considered working with a trainer and a nutritionist.

Question 10

nutrisystem, ediets, jenny craig- which one best and balanced home delivery diet?

Accepted Answer

Don't recommend: The reality is at some point you will have to have a 'relationship' with food; whether dining out, celebrations with friends and family or going to the grocery store.  Meal replacement plans are typically useful to get ready for surgery, otherwise have a poor record of long term weight control.  Eventually you'll have to quit buying the food and have a nutrition skill set.
