Question 1

can the destruction of neurons nerve cells body cause chaos in the brain and body and affect chemical and electrical signals in the body?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes Yes: This question is vague and unclear, but with that said I can acknowledge that brain and body are electrical energy systems connected by miles of nerve fibers. There is much yet to be understood about the brain, but enough is known about spinal cord and brain dysfunction to know that a significant enough insult or damage to any one area can disrupt various other system processes.

Question 2

this is a response to an answer from a doctor.  i asked about bloating and the flu yesterday. dr. chao, i don't self diagnose don't be so presumptuous?

Accepted Answer

So the doctor said: You had a flare up?  By examining you?  Or just by answering a question.   What i said was true. Crohns disease is hard to diagnose and hard to follow.  If they feel you have a flare up they might need to do more imaging or tests.  These are not things you can decide just by talking.  You need to be seen.

Question 3

gum recession: what do you think of dr. chao's pinhole surgical technique that is incision and suture free for treating the "lost cells" around teeth?

Accepted Answer

In my opinion: In my opinion which is also based upon discussing this question with a periodontist whom I have the utmost respect for- that surgical procedure is really just a variation of similar conventional techniques and not necessarily any better. I would place more value in case selection, skill of periodontist and patient compliance as to success of procedure.

Question 4

james is a 68yr old man with diabetes 220pounds and 5.11 , today when he stands hes dizzy and loses his motion as well, his sugar is 193, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: He may have low blood pressure when standing up (orthostatic hypotension), especially if he is on antihypertensive medication or medication for prostate problem. 
Sugar level of 193 should not cause any symptom except he has lost significant volume because of uncontrolled hyperhyperglycemia which can also cause orthostatic hypotension or exacerbate this adverse effect from the above medications.

Accepted Answer

Question 6

do people who smoke mary jane really get dumber?

Accepted Answer

Actually some very: Smart folks smoke mj, but they act very dumb while under the influence. They think they are profound and brilliant, but they really are just stoned. Many not so smart people smoke, and they do not get any brighter afterward. It can be psychoaddictive and can tempt you to smoke and do nothing else. That is indeed not productive, if not dumb.

Question 8

what sort of injuries would you expect to see in someone who jumps from a 3rd floor?

Question 9

Accepted Answer
