Question 1

say i got rid of the worms i had , could  leaky gut syndrome be mistaken as thill having the worms ?

Accepted Answer

Whoa: Don't accept a diagnosis of either "worms" or "leaky gut syndrome" from a non-evidence-based practitioner. If you actually have a helminth infection, you need to get effective treatment.

Question 2

on drugs after concert i think i licked a rocker lead an i feel sick. do i have hiv or something?

Accepted Answer

No: You can't contract HIV from licking or kissing even an infected person.  Hiv risks are from IV drug abuse and unprotected sexual intercourse or other blood to blood exposures.

Question 3

what do you think about derma rollers ?

Accepted Answer

A way to induce skin: injury in a somewhat controlled &amp; distributed way. The bigger issue, are the possible/actual appearance changes over time, resulting from the injury, worth the risk of applying the injury? Additionally, even if appearance seems improved - short term, do these result in more skin damage &amp; problems, including appearance, long term, a very real possibilty?

Question 4

i lost weightfew yrs ago eatin 1800-2200 cal day 30-50 gmof fat a day rode bike 30 min a day 5x a week i dont think 3500 cal to lose1 lb true is it?

Accepted Answer

Varies : 3500 calories loss  to lose a pound is well known. Recent data and clinical experience suggests wide variation on weight loss using this numberi. Steady weight loss requires taking in free calories than you utilize, so frequent and lifetime exercise are essential.  So calorie restriction and exercise long term are the key to weight loss.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes: That can run in families. If it bothers you it can be shaved down with cosmetic surgery.

Question 6

had a larascopic appendectomy 3 weeks ago and i feel fine and the wounds are all completely healed, do you think i could go on roller coasters tomorro?

Accepted Answer

Below: It would be best to ask the DR who did the lap appy.

I would suggest waiting for the full 4 weeks for healing.

Question 7

me and my friends are planning on going bunjee jumping off the stratosphere in las vegas. before i do it i would like to ask if this is an ok and safe thing to do. about 3 years ago i got a medal rode fusion into my spine for scoliosis?

Accepted Answer

: That is way too much of a risk to take considering the potential forces that will be placed on your back. Even with the hardware there is strong potential for injury to your fusion. I'm not sure the the stratosphere would even allow you to go on the ride as they specifically state you need to be in excellent physical condition

Question 8

i used 0.5mm derma roller only once  below the hairline. the part becomes red.its third day and skin of that part rubbed off.how can i cure it!!

Accepted Answer

Skin damage: Because of risk of infection and of permanent scarring it would be wise to seek an emergency visit with a skin specialist, a Dermatologist, immediately.

Question 9

could use your help docs! my derma roller won't puncture the skin on my thigh, why?

Accepted Answer

Epidermis thicker: On different parts of your body the top layer of your skin which is known as the epidermis is thicker or thinner. It is thicker on the thigh and that is why the derma roller doesn't penetrate.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Test: Take a test if you really are not sure. It will help put yourself at ease with an answer.
