  • Ascites a medical mystery?

    My mother has a recurring ascites, has been in the hospital for 3 weeks, has had every test you can think of, and they still don't know why she has it. The doctor's are calling her a medical mystery. She is 60 years of age, has been morbidly obese for over 35 years, a smoker (pack a day) for 35 years, a heavy drinker on weekends only for 35 years, type 2 diabetes for two years, high blood pressure, has had 2 stints placed in arteries surrounding her heart (one in 2003 and 2007), and has been taking a host of medications for years. For the ascites she's had 2 abdominal CT's, 2 MRI's, 2 upper GI tract scopes, 2 colonoscopies, and loads of blood tests by two different hospitals all showing nothing of any real significance. She has tested negative for cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney infection, congenital heart disease (though she has symptoms), her ovaries LOOK fine, and her digestive system LOOKS normal (no bowl movement in a week and throwing up all she takes in). She's loosing weight rapidly (58 pounds since the beginning of March) and getting weaker by the day because she can't keep any food down. Yesterday, the hospital did laparoscopic surgery on her abdomen and though they say they didn't see anything specific, they found that her anatomy wasn't normal. They found a thick coating surrounding her intestines and all her abdominal organs are stuck together by these small fibrous tissues. They've taken samples from their abnormal findings and are waiting for the results. In the meantime, they've decided to release my mother while they wait for the results but she is still very ill. I don’t know what else to do. Can you help? Have you ever heard of anything like this or know of someone who can help?

  • Intestinal Bacteria with Ascites possible?

    My mother has been suffering with an ascites since November of last year. They just diagnosed her in early March with the condition but have yet to definitively find the cause. I've taken her to two hospitals and both of them released her with a ton of medications for pain, vomiting, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes. Each hospital did liver biopsies which turned up no evidence of cirrhosis of the liver. While that was a relief, I'm still sitting home now with my sick mother who is vomiting what I believe is actual feces, hasn't eliminated any waste (#2) since maybe a week ago, is loosing weight rapidly, and getting very weak. She thinks she's dying and I'm scared to death for her. One hospital did say that they "think" it might be because of intestinal bacteria. I just want to know if that's possible and what can be don about it. My mother can't go on like this! Someone please help! But let me stress again I've already taken her to two hospitals! What can be done now!?

  • In Most Species, Faithfulness Is a Fantasy?

    Why is it that mankind, the most intelligent species on earth, is always trying to find commonality with animals? From the THEORY of evolution, to sex, to marriage, finances, ingenuity etc., human beings just don't seem to be satisfied with being the most advanced of all the earth’s creatures. Many are still trying to psychologically pick apart human reasoning and practices through the personalities and actions of mere animals.

  • A question to young ladies 13-25?

    I am 40 years old and currently going back to college for my Psychology degree. My hope is to inspire and advise young women on how to cultivate good self esteam and value themselves enough to see the devaluing and even painful result of overt promiscuity. I have many years of life long lessons I had to learn the hard way and I want to teach and inspire young women on how to enjoy life without giving into popular veiws on sex and relationships. My only obsticle is I'm not sure how to get this point across without turning into a preacher or parent figure, which turns young people totally off.

  • Do you reject Christ?

    Galatians 6:7 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

    Here is an example of someone who did:

    Campinas (IN 2005) In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend..... The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.." She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full "

    Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

    Reject God and you reject His protection.

  • Does anyone other than myself think its stupid...?

    for 50 Cent to bet that his CD will sell more than Kayne West's? I mean, its got to be the most arrogant and unintelligent thing I've seen in hip-hop (and I've seen some ridiculously stupid things let me tell you)! What difference would it make? What would it prove accept that one conceited rapper, apparently in love with himself, can't bare to share the spotlight with another rapper who probably doesn't give a rats anal hair about the bet in the first place? 50 Cent is just tying to incite some sort of hip-hop war. I hope that people who love real hip-hop, of which 50 Cent's music is NOT, won't even buy into this crap! What say any of you?

  • Why doesn't the promotion of abstinence as an option work?

    Above all I totally believe that apart from God all humanity can do is fail so no prayer is a huge factor. However, I also think abstinence as a choice may not be working because not enough is being taught on the psychological, mental, and emotional pitfalls that occur with sexual activity. Many deep mental scars are left behind. Some people never get over their past hurt and it impairs the ability for some to move on and progress. Teens should know about these things as well!

  • Why would a national campaign encouraging abstinence be a bad idea?

    Abstinence is the only known and 100% proven method of preventing unplanned pregnancy and transmitting STD's. Besides, sex brings with it a whole lot of psychological, mental, emotional, and physical responsibilities that many people, especially teens, are not ready for. What's wrong with encouraging parents and teachers to teach abstinence to teens and young children? No one is saying take out all the other messages on safe sex but make abstinence equally taught and demonstrated in our society. Some might say that its unrealistic but I say that it's a million times better than the reality that we are now experiencing with the spread of A.I.D.S and other STD's. What are some of your thoughts?

  • Acne question for a licensed physician?

    I am African American and have had trouble in the past finding over the counter treatments for acne. None of them ever worked nor did ProActive or Murad. I went to a dermatologist and she perscribed a high Benzoil Peroxide cream called Durad and a Retinol A cream called Tretinoin. These worked wonders but were too expensive. Is there any over the counter creams or solutions comparable to the ones my doctor prescribed?
