Does body weight have an affect on how quick someone can get HIV?

Does someone that is 120lbs have a better/quicker chance at testing positive for HIV than say a guy that is 220lbs? I know that the immune system is a big player in wether you test + or – but am not sure if someone that small has a chance at getting HIV quicker than that of a man of 220lbs….

And my 2nd question is….Can my doctor, my PCP, test for HIV? I have heard mixed reviews that he/she can, or cannot, last time I got it done supposedly by my PCP, he took way much less blood from me than that of the Health Dept. making me believe that it is impossible for him to test for it. So I just want to know the true fact if he can test for it, or is it just the Health Dept. that test for HIV?
Thank You!

should I continue Tetracycline?

I was recently put on Tetracycline. I was on Retin-A and eyrithromycin(however you spell it) and it did clear my skin but I stopped because my skin was already clear. Bad mistake, after about 2 months I broke out again and went back to Retin-A only problem was it didn’t help me this time around so I went back to the doctor and she put me on Tetracycline.

After reading reviews on I saw alot of risk that I’m taking such as a weaker immune system, I’m currently taking it 2 times a day and I can feel my tummy is starting to act up. I’m currently scared to continue to take this after reading everything. I’m currently 14 so most likely it’s puberty but I don’t want to deal with it either way. Since i saw that it does work but then it stop working later what did you guys when you were done with this prescription? I don’t plan on being on pills forever, I want to stop at some point or atleast before I break out bad like others have experience.

Qivana: Qore & MetaboliQ …a scam? — OR revolutionary new health company?

Qivana: Qore & MetaboliQ …a scam? OR revolutionary new health company?

I saw some folks talking about Qivana being some kind of scam. They were just curious because it’s a new company and there was not a lot of info on it at the time.

However a bunch of “advisors” jumped in to say it’s “probably a scam.” I always find it interesting that people will open their mouth to express an opinion about something which they know absolutely nothing about. Of course the internet is sort of like writing on the bathroom wall…. just a really BIG bathroom wall.

My question is… when it’s easy to just use internet search to do a few minutes of research, why do people, instead, choose to just throw out any old opinion as if they know what they are talking about?

Here is what you can find out about Qivana if you want to do a bit of research…

CEO – Derek Hall. Mr. Hall was with McKesson Pharmaceutical for 26 years, the last 10 as their Chief Sales Officer. He was also CEO of Unigen Pharmaceutical and CEO of Natures Way… increasing income at all three dramatically. With Natures Way they were in the red when he came on board and he took them to the neighborhood of 47 million a year in revenue within a few years.

Other management – from top network marketing companies. Check their web site.

No “magic pills” … these are products that are UNIQUE, put together as a “systems approach” and designed by top Doctors in their field…..

Dr. Marcus Laux – author of “Natural Woman, Natural Menopause” and responsible for coining the now, well used term, bio-identical. Considered the “Doctor to the Stars,” Dr. Laux has had a full time practice in Malibu and Beverly Hills for about 20 years, and has traveled the world lecturing about natural health practices and botanicals.

Dr. Donald K. Layman, University of Illinois, winner: Shannon Award from the National Institute of Health and 2009 Nutrition and Metabolism Leadership award. Dr. Layman is considered to be the top nutrition and metabolism researcher in the country and has the awards to back that up. The average Doctors publishes 2-5 peer reviewed papers over the course of his career. Dr. Layman has published over 90!

The company has two health “systems” – unique, integrated products that work together to improve the immune system, detox the body, and provide a nutritional jumpstart system for weight management.

Qore is for immunity and detox. MetaboliQ is for weight management.
These systems have NO competition in the marketplace and are superior in composition, ingredients and formulation. You can research this and find the information.

Sales for the Metaboliq system alone are predicted to (if they continue at the current pace) end up being the number #1 selling weight management system in the US by the end of the year. But this is not a “diet” system… it’s for anyone that wants to build muscle and burn fat using healthy, perfectly balanced products.

It’s “weight management” because it is NOT some “fad” diet, but simply a system to give a little jump-start to a healthy eating lifestyle that will build muscle and burn fat naturally. The system is based on 30 years of research by Dr. Layman at the University of Illinois and it consists of the products… but also EDUCATION.

So my question is… What genius would think that people of this calibre, would be involved in a company that was in any way questionable? I’m hoping that those “negative nellies” have already figured out the truth… but, if not, they can start their own research right here…

VACCINES: what do u think about this?

Toxic Substances Are Needed To Make Vaccines.

Vaccines contain many toxic substances that are needed to prevent the vaccines from becoming infected or to improve the performance of the vaccine. Among these substances are mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum.[17] In the past 10 years, the number of autistic children has risen from between 200 and 500 percent in every state in the U.S. This sharp rise in autism followed the introduction of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in 1975. Representative Dan Burton’s healthy grandson was given injections for 9 diseases in one day. These injections were instantly followed by autism. These injections contain a preservative of mercury called thimerosal. The boy received 41 times the amount of mercury which is capable of harm to the body. Mercury is a neurotoxin that can injure the brain and nervous system. And tragically, it did.

In the United States the number of compulsory vaccine injections has increased from 10 to 36 in the last 25 years. During this period, there has been a simultaneous increase in the number of children suffering learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder. Some of these childhood disabilities are related to intrauterine cerebral damage from maternal cocaine use, but probably vaccines cause many of the others. Many vaccines contain aluminum. A new disease called macrophagic myofasciitis causes pain in muscles, bones and joints. All persons with this disease have received aluminum containing vaccines. Deposits of aluminum are able to remain as an irritant in tissues and disturb the immune and nervous system for a lifetime.

Nearly all vaccines contain aluminum and mercury. These metals appear to play an important role in the etiology of Alzheimer’s Disease. An expert at the 1997 International Vaccine Conference related that a person who takes 5 or more annual flu vaccine shots has increased the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s Disease by a factor of 10 over the person who has had 2 or fewer flu shots. When we take vaccines we are playing a modern version of Russian Roulette. We not only get exposed to aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and foreign cell proteins but we may get simian
virus 40 and other dangerous viruses which can cause cancer, leukemia and other severe health problems because the vaccine pool is contaminated due to careless animal isolation techniques.

Congress has protected the manufacturers from lawsuits, so dangerous vaccines simply increase profits at no risk to the drug companies. U.S. children aged 2 months began receiving hepatitis B vaccine in December 2000.No peer-reviewed studies of the safety of hepatitis B in this age bracket had been done. Over 36,000 adverse reactions with 440 deaths were soon reported but the true incidence is much higher as reporting is voluntary so only approximately 10 % of adverse reactions get reported. This means that about 5000 infants are dying annually from the hepatitis B vaccine. The CDC’s Chief of Epidemiology admits that the frequency of serious reactions to hepatitis B vaccine is 10 times higher than other vaccines. Hepatitis B is transmitted sexually and by contaminated blood, so the incidence of this disease must be near zero in this age bracket. A vaccine expert, Dr. Philip Incao, states that “the conclusion is obvious that the risks[18] of hepatitis B vaccinat ion far outweigh the benefits. Once a vaccine is mandated the vaccine manufacturer is no longer liable for adverse reactions.

Dr. W.B. Clarke’s important observation that cancer was not found in unvaccinated individuals demands an explanation and one now appears forthcoming. All vaccines given over a short period of time to an immature immune system deplete the thymus gland (the primary gland
involved in immune reactions) of irreplaceable immature immune cells. Each of these cells could have multiplied and developed into an army of valuable cells to combat infection and growth of abnormal cells. When these immune cells have been used up, permanent immunity may
not appear. The Arthur Research Foundation in Tucson, Arizona estimates that up to 60 % of our immune system may be exhausted [19] by multiple mass vaccines (36 are now required for children). Only 10 % of immune cells are permanently lost when a child is permitted to develop natural immunity from disease. There needs to be grave concern about these immune system injuring vaccinations! Could the persons who approve these mass vaccinations know that they are impairing the health of these children, many of whom are being doomed to requiring much medical care in the future?

Compelling evidence is available that the development of the immune system after contracting the usual childhood diseases matures and renders it capable to fight infection and malignant cells in the future.The use of multiple vaccines, which prevents natural immunity, promotes the development of allergies and asthma. A New Zealand study disclosed that 23 % of vaccinated chil
sorry this got cut off go to www.DrTenpenny.com she is an amazing doctor fighting for the right to have a choice. I posted this because I asked another question about getting a waiver and got totally attack by people who think there are no danger in vaccines. So, I posted this to see what people thought of it. I have endless supplies of research for vaccination, and regardless of not having a degree in the med field I feel extremely qualified to make the decision.

Sorry about your daughter, its sad that this happens to people that just think they are doing the best they can.

Warm mist humidifier for infants room…?

I am looking into getting a warm mist humidifier (or a combo warm/cool) for our 8 month olds bedroom. I have read mixed reviews on basically every single brand around and am not sure what to get now. I don’t have a ton to spend, but read it would be really good to help keep her nasal and lung passages nice and clear to keep her immune system up, as well as for her eczema and mild allergies. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Rainbow Light Just Once Multivitamin/Mineral?

I am thinking of taking it. I am 16 and I am boarderline anemic and have a viral infection, I am thinking this might help strengthen my immune system to fight better. Is this something I should take? And also, the pills are big, is okay to break these ones or crush them with food? It doesn’t say on the back.

Please leave some reviews about this product or help me if you can. Thank you<3

A Doctor for Everything that pieces the puzzle together?

I have Crohn’s. Now due to the medicine side effects I also have Cataracts and Osteoporosis. Also possibly due to my meds, my weakened immune system has allowed skin cancer Melanoma. I’ve had Neodosum?, Arthritis, bloodshot eyes, and more all connected to either the Crohns or the meds. Whenever something new pops up, I dont know if its connected, dont know what Dr. to see. Is there a specialist other than a Gastroenterologist that can figure me out and all my symptoms, and get me back into good (somewhat) health and help ensure I dont end up with more problems down the road? A diagnostic specialist (if thats what they’re called)? Maybe they can review all my symptoms, find out what I’m missing (nutrition-wise), and stop the path of illness that I’m heading down before I turn into a hypochondriac or dead.

Curing Rabbit Snuffles – Is Systemajuv a solution?

My buck has Snuffles. The vet diagnosed hime and prescribed Baytril. Although this seems to initally work a few hours after dosage, by the next day, he has reverted back to the original symptoms.
He has been on Baytril for approx 1 & 1/2 months now and i am concerned about the long term effects of him being on this medication for this length of time. Also, i am concerned with the effects of having Snuffles for such a long time on his immune system.
I have read a few reviews about Snuffles and Systemajuv seems to be mentioned as a very good solution. It is a herbal remedy added to the water and many report it clears up sufferers of long term Snuffles within 24 hours with lasting results.
Has anyone used this? I also seem to only be able to find it in USA/$. Does anyone know if it is available within UK/£?
Does anyone has other suggestions i could try? Other than the Snuffles, my buck is in perfect health, he eats and drinks reguarly and is alert and active.
Thanks for your help!
I’d just like to add that i am an experianced rabbit owner and have owned rabbits since my childhood. This rabbit is not my only rabbit. I have others also. A doe also had Snuffles a month ago but a course of Baytril over 1 week cleared hers up and so far it has not returned.
The buck is isolated from the others so that he cannot pass it onto others but obviously this is a solitary life for him and i can tell Baytril isnt working for him. Really want to find a cure for it so he can enjoy himself again and not have this ‘burden’.
