ve had a slight fever and runny nose since beginning the drug therapy( I was advised to avoid public conveyances, public bathrooms and public gatherings). If so, how do they adversely effect my ability to fight viral and bacterial infection?

does he do this in private? or public? It is not abnormal my son did it also. He is 18 now and is very normal and doesn't do anything in public. He used to when he was little like 3. If you teach him where it is and isn't appropriate he should get it. Why stop it, then he will think it is a horrible thing to do. If you can't get through to him have his doctor, a therapist talk to him about privacy.

WE CONCLUDE, PLAINLY The Canadian Natural Health Coalition and the public will no longer tolerate the abuse of power from Health Canada.

We will wage a ceaseless campaign to bring an end to the tyranny of the current regime at Health Canada.

I came here as I have just had my third MRI in a year and I am still very confused. Public funding of MS drugs is limited to older ones and you must met strong criteria to get them. Our public health system has very little user pays in it. So hi.

Prompt disclosure of this information, which the FDA already collects, will allow doctors and policymakers to make more informed treatment choices with real and immediate consequences for public health and spending.

It doesn't matter if they find the meth or not- she needs to stop for the baby's health. They will be born addicted and they will take him/her away. It's very hard for drug addicts to get their babies back. The babies end up either dying, going into the foster system or being adopted by another family (closed adoption; harder for birthmom to find them). So definitely; she's got to stop. She should put herself in a maternity home or a rehabilitation center.

I read another post from someone in Alberta and he could only get 24 weeks coverage through public health care, even though his doc wanted him to stay on for longer. So it sounds like Alberta protocols are the same as in BC. (My nurse said they are being reviewed.) After this experience, I am pretty frustrated with Canada's public system. I never thought I would say this, but I think we should have a public/private system - or some kind of hybrid.

Hello, Wondering if anyone has ever received a positive result back from the non-specific IGG EIA test in Canada, through Public Health? I've read a few testimonials in which people claim that they have had positive swabs, but negative blood tests from Public Health. Leads me to question the accuracy of the test, or weather or not it works at all. Thanks.

I haven't experienced this but no had friends that did and the baby turned out healthy and ok. As long as she stops. And good for you for doing that. You definitely did the right thing. She may not understand now but will thank you one day.

The Democratic Party motivation behind such health freedom suppression is to have an iron grip on “herd mentality” and public health initiatives – and health freedom and access to natural health options are not compatible with this unspoken objective. Republican politicians also favor this iron grip on public health, but for somewhat different reasons – historically to forward the sales of Big Pharma at the expense of any potential competitors.

its not a binding thing and it hasnt been implemented..... you need to stick with your program and forget about that rescue.........

Despite efforts by federal, state and local government agencies to control and prevent these diseases, they remain a serious public health concern. The major factor impeding efforts to control HBV and HCV is lack of knowledge and awareness among health care providers, social service professionals, members of the public, and policy-makers. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100224103402.

In the US there is a tremendous public awakening about patient abuses of health insurance companies, and corruption among doctors. Why do you think Obama Care has passed? Public opinion has shifted. in 2014 Health Insurance companies will not deny health insurance to people with chronic illnesses. It is just that these drug companies, doctors lobby, and health insurance lobby argue that Health care is not a Right - but rather a service.

When hemmorrhoidal cream was not effective over a 2 month period, I went to a public health clinic and was tested for sexually transmitted diseases. I had antibodies positive for HSV-1 and HSV-2. The gynecologist examined both vaginal and anal areas but no external lesions were visible. I have never had any external lesions to my knowledge. However, I continue to have itching from time to time in my anal area. I have twice had some blood on the toilet tissue at two separate times.

But the new findings were sufficiently alarming that the National Cancer Institute called together a group of experts in August to consider its potential effect on public health." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-sci-fatigue9-2009oct09,0,3368993.story Its about time.... we've been saying this all along.
