Hay Fever Hay fever is an allergic disease with or without slight fever, runny nose, sneezing followed by stuffiness and dry throat feeling. It happens in time for arrival of spring when flowers and grass shed pollen abd dander. So, early February is usually the time for hay fever. With winter receding and spring beginning we are in rotten moods because we were stuck up in homes during harsh winters or feeling lethargic because of the chill, cozying up in blankies. Out comes the budding flowers and infest our houses with dander and pollen, leaving us sore and stuffy. In expectation of relief we venture outdoors and our symptoms worsen.   Therefore,ideally, we should rest in our houses with the AC on to filter out any allergen if we are suffering from hay fever and not to forget, take an anti-allergen medicine. Psychological connection is hard to establish but, like I mentioned earlier, it is our desire to live life fully in competition with the nature blossoming and she...

Foot pains Foot pain can be categorized according to their location as toe pains, front foot pains or back-foot(heel and ankle) pains. Toe pains : Corns, calluses, bunions, gouty arthritis are examples. Causes : ill-fitting shoes are perceived as the main cause. Gout and arthritis are systemic in nature. My supposition : We are playing roles in life that are well below our potential, either because of inferiority complexes or dumbly playing along with what people think about us. Otherwise who would like to wear shoes that rub on us and produce corns and calluses? Kids who have an inferiority complex make do with whatever is offered to them and not what they think they are capable of and therefore wear the ill-fitting shoes their parents buy for them. It is exactly the opposite of getting into shoes that is too big for the legs. They get into shoes that are too small for them. Treatment: Medical: Soak feet in warm water and gently pumice the corns and calluses. Repeat as necessary. Medi...

ADDICTIONS What is addiction? As Mooney said, gambling is rooted in the"universal longing of mankind to know the cause of things and how effectsmay be controlled." Gamblingaddictions should not be viewed as inherently evil or immoral, but as a diseaseof the spirit that uses pleasure to avoid pain. It is not that they are weakerthan most, for we are all caught in the cycle of pleasure and pain, but thattheir pain is more acute and their search for spirituality more urgent. In manyeastern philosophies, this dilemma is known as divine discontent, and as thenative gambling myths show, such malaise is a necessary step in the process ofbecoming spiritual. Society can try to exile or reform addictive gamblers but,ultimately, they must embark on their own vision quest that takes them deeperinto their traditional beliefs, and beyond. This is not to say that gamblersshould not suffer the consequences of their actions for, afterall, these arepart of the experiment to "know the ca...

ARE YOU WISE OR INNOCENT STILL? PLEASE READ THE LINK PROVIDED BELOW BEFORE YOU START READING MY ARTICLE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_tooth A wisdom tooth is otherwise called dragon’s teeth. Dragon teeth, a term derived from Greek mythology refers to Prince Cadmus and Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece. They were advised to sow their dragon teeth in order to rear warriors from the soil, which they did. From here springs the metaphor ‘to sow a dragon’s teeth’, meaning to give birth to unintended consequences which could either be good or bad. If you have already referred to the article about wisdom tooth for which I have provided a link, you would know by now that 35% of human population never develops a wisdom tooth. And some have problems during the course of its development. Ideally, a wisdom tooth should appear between the age of 17 and 25 years.  This age signifies ‘coming of age’ period. Acquiring worldly-wise maturity can be associated with its appea...

Hi, I am your friendly neighbourhood doctor-woman. I administer no medicine, appropriate advise and loads of good-will and hope. My qualifications doesn't consist of a long list of dotted alphabets. I am just a simple family medicine consultant and I have the necessary certificate to show for it. Anyway, my role as a doctor here would be basically limited to advises that you can cross-check with your local doctor. I would provide the relevant information and arm you with the necessary questions to put to your "real doctor". To make it a little more clear I will list down my exact 'virtual doctor' services: 1. I post a blog a day on a medical topic open to discussion. I put in my insight about the disease, which is not researched or established by survey but perhaps, just a few suppositions, that may one day be proved true. I will not claim accuracy or refute challenges with any kind of animosity. Any questions are welcome to help me dig deeper into the ...
