Question 1

i have cuts on my hand and was cutting meat for dinner that was pretty bloody. some of the blood and juices got into my cuts. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Tetanus immunisation: It is ideal that you visit your nearest Urgent Care centre to get a tetanus booster if you haven't had one in the past 5 years. You need to clean your wound thoroughly to avoid getting an infection

Question 2

i have a bump thats been on my hand for a while. it itch when i first got it and when i squeezed it juice came out now nothing comes out what is this?

Accepted Answer

Mystery bump: A "bump" that had fluid in it could be a localized infection, such as a pimple, viral or fungal infection or an infected object under the skin (e.g.Splinter), a rash/reaction to an exposure (food/med/environmental substance), a cyst, or eczema.    If it does not resolve, see your doctor for evaluation.

Question 3

what are the causes of hand tingling and numbness while juice fasting?

Accepted Answer

Juice fasting : Can cause drug side effects or interactions  for meds one is on, exacerbate metabolic issues such as diabetes , cause electrolyte disturbances and other bad things. If one gets tingling and numbness, id stop as these are likely "nerve or circulation "  issues. And if diet can hinder hands then the other more  important nerves and blood vessels  like the ones in your brain or heart. Can be next!

Question 4

i burned my hand with hot juice 4 days ago. it still burns and now peeling. its now throbbing causing pain to my joints. should i see a doctor.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sounds like you may have a second degree burn.

Question 5

just finished a vegetable/fruit juice (fresh, unpasteurized) cleanse. i had fever, chills, hand tingling-numbess, vomiting last night. food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Please get with your physician if this continues. Just because fruits and vegetables are "natural" doesn't mean they were grown or prepared under conditions of even basic sanitation. I'm sorry this happened.

Question 6

nausea b4 sleep no food for 12h. wokeup to pvc then,kinda paniced, palpitation with pvc, feet/hand tingle/numb,faceflushed,lightheadedness(faint),had juice felt betterafter,then rusheder ekg/bp normal

Accepted Answer

Prob anxiety: Given your young age, and the history you provided, this does seem like you had a potential anxiety response.

Your are using term "pvc", I presume you have had some evaluation to suggest you had this in the past. PVCs are very common and symptoms from PVCs are very variable.

Reduce caffeine, take multivitamin, consider further evaluation if symptoms recur: labs, echocardiogram, etc.

Question 7

does carrot juice gain weight if we use daily??..
an how much quantity is good for daily use??...an can mix beetroot an carrot juice

Accepted Answer

Carrot juice: carrot juice obviously does contain calories, so it could cause weight gain if you drink too much of it. Having said that, it tends to be very healthy, so I am not advising that you should stop it. And it is fine to add beetroot if you'd like. Everything in moderation. Good luck.

Question 8

so much mixed info on when a baby can have juice. my ped. says 6 mo. is ok if baby is sturdy/holding cup. i've heard others say not until 1 year?

Accepted Answer

6 months is ok: But you should limit it.  It isn't really all that nutritious compared to the formula and other solid food.  There is a lot of natural sugar in fruit juices and it can contribute to obesity and tooth decay.  If you are going to use it, use it in a cup.  Never put it in a bottle and put it in the bed with your child.  Best wishes

Question 9

is clamato juice healthy  how much is too much ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I doubt even relatively high consumption would cause any harm but i would check the sodium content of the drink. High sodium drinks should be avoided.

Question 10

i want to start juicing what is the best machine known out there for that purpose and how much weight can you lose by juicing all by itself in a month?

Accepted Answer

Juicing: weight gain: There is gathering evidence that those who juice do not lose weight but in reality gain weight.  The assumptions that fruits and vegetables are 'healthy' is just that: an assumption.  Fruits and vegetables are almost universally 100% carbohydrate calories and we now know that carbohydrates, especially in concentrated doses is the main cause of obesity. 

Juicing leads to weight gain.
