Question 1

can't afford treatment for heavy metals and co infections and lyme doc said he's sure he will find a deeper issue.i can't afford to see him any help?!

Accepted Answer

Heavy metal Lyme: Heavy metal issues are rare.  Need more information. Lyme can be very tricky to diagnose and treat.  I would suggest seeing an Internal Medicine specialist for a 2nd opinion. You don't want to save money and lose your ability to function.

Question 2

are rheumatologists familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of lyme disease and its co-infections?  if not, who treats these tick-borne infections?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but . . .: Acute lyme disease is a well recognized problem with a fairly straight forward medical approach.  In that case a rheumatologist or even a general physician should be able to manage it.  If you are speaking of "chronic lyme" the story is different as the syndrome is still not recognized as a distinct clinical condition by mainstream medicine.  Consider a holistic md to evaluate this.

Question 3

what is the treatment for lyme disease and how long is the full treatment for a chronic infection ? can it be transmitted through sexual intercourse ?

Accepted Answer

How and no: An antibiotic Rx for about 2 weeks would be enough in its early phase. The effectiveness for chronic infection is much less certain regardless of the duration of treatment.  No you cannot contract this from sexual intercourse unless your lover happens to be a particular kind of tick.

Question 4

can rubbing ground coffee beans on your cellulite make them seem less visible?? what about cold laser treatment for cellulite or ultrasonic cavitation

Accepted Answer

Tx for Cellulite???: All these at home remedies are worth a try but the %s are very low for improvements. Plus even the non invasive therapies I have found to  be limited. Except Thermi 250 RF sessions at a fee of $400/sessions for 10 sessions seems to give unto 50% improvement. As for surgical intervention the CellFina is a very poor option vs the Cellulaze, Where the Cellulaze using the addition of.....cont

Question 5

what is cold laser treatment used to treat?

Accepted Answer

Cold laser: Cold lasers generally emit led lights which, depending on which technology is being used,  help with wound healing, fat cell shrinkage (not fat cell destruction) and collagen stimulation.  They are not as effective for collagen stimulation as other more aggressive lasers, but can help mitigate aging.  Also, they do not hurt.

Question 6

my 81 year old grandaunt has severe knee, foot and leg pain.would she benefit from cold laser treatment? are there any other treatments for this?

Accepted Answer

See details: Forget the laser treatment. No one can give you advice on a proper treatment until you know the cause of the pain.

Question 7

is there any other way to cure light acne rolling scars (meaning indentation isn't really deep), without the use of any laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Acne scars: There are other resurfacing options besides laser. You can consider chemical peels. Have your skin evaluated by a. Oars certified physician with expertise in acne scar treatment.

Question 8

i'm getting a lot of burning on the bottom of my feet.  i had another laser treatment and i don't see any improvement.  just aching and burning.

Accepted Answer

Foot pain.: This is tough.  Plantar fasciitis? Thinning soles of feet.  Trauma from weight, diabetes, foot arthritis, drug side effect, lumbar disc disease???  I assume that your physician has looked into these.  if not, I think you might get them looked into a bit more before doing more therapy that isn't working.

Question 9

how much does fraxel laser treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

Fraxel laser: The average cost of fraxel laser treatnent is $1775.00.

Question 10

can you lose vision from excimer laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Possible but rare: Any surgical procedure on the eye can cause loss of vision. This is very rare, however. Reasons might be poor candidacy, over or under correction, healing problems, dry eye and infection. Fda studies have demonstrated that excimer laser vision correction is both safe and effective.
