A 32-year-old female asked:
what type(s) of infection could happen from having ingested mouldy food like bread products?

Dr. Hunter Handsfieldanswered

Nothing will happen: Ingesting fungus infested (mouldy) bread is esthetically unappealing, but harmless. No infection or illness is likely. Don't worry about it.

A 35-year-old member asked:
Is there any food or drink that can raise hCG levels?
1 doctor answer • 4 doctors weighed in
Dr. Stephen Bernsanswered

Not really: If you are referring to the recent "hcg diet", which involves using HCG as well as severe calorie restriction, i would recommend against it. Buying HCG is illegal, (http://www.Fda.Gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm281333.Htm) and extreme dieting can be very dangerous. It is possible to supplement HCG through consuming your own human placental tissue (placenta pills / placental encapsulation).

Will eating sweet food affect the treatment of pinworms?

Dr. Jeffrey Juchauanswered

NO: Pinworm treatment is pretty straight (pardon the pun) forward. Usually 1 dose of medication, followed in a week by another dose. Sweets should do nothing.

Infection in esophagus?
1 doctor answer • 2 doctors weighed in
Dr. Kamel Sadekanswered
Family Medicine 25 years experience
Possible: If you are asking if a person can get an infection in the esophagus, the answer is yes. Infection can occur in any part of the body. If you are asking about esophagitis, it does not have to be an actual infection caused by a bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasite. It can mean irritation of the esophageal mucosa from recurrent exposure to refluxed stomach acid, mostly affecting the lower esophagus.

A 34-year-old member asked:
Can I get chelation therapy in pill form from health food stores?
1 doctor answer • 1 doctor weighed in
Dr. Gurney Pearsallanswered

Yes and Questionable: Succimer {chemet} is an oral lead chelating agent that is not available from the health food stores. It must be prescribed.
Health food stores sell supplements. Supplements are sold a food product and must be safe for consumption. This means they do not have to prove or provide any medical benefits. Supplements with edta {a chelating agent} will have ultra-low levels, so no harm = no med bene.
