He’s Been Diagnosed With Mesothelioma

Posted in Random Thoughts, Health, Medical, Website Reviews on June 24th, 2008

A friend of mine has an uncle who used to work in construction and his uncle was recently diagnosed with Mesothelioma. It’s really sad that he worked his butt off in the heat and cold for all of those years and all he has to show for it is lung cancer. Everyone is telling him that he should sue someone, but he’s just not that type of person. I really wish him well.

An Acne Treatment That Works

Posted in Random Thoughts, Health, Shopping, Website Reviews on June 17th, 2008

My younger cousin has always had very bad acne. He has probably tried over 50 acne treatments since the time he was about 13 years old and nothing really worked as advertised. He recently tried a product called Acnexus and it has worked better than anything he has ever tried. I really can’t believe how much better his skin looks now. He seems a lot happier as well. He’s been talking about how great this acne medicine is for about 2 months now, even on his MySpace page.

Medical Alert Bracelets Can Save Lives

Posted in Health, Medical, Website Reviews, Technology on May 2nd, 2008

My elderly neighbor has diabetes. Her blood sugar always changes, depending on what she eats. She has to watch closely how much sugar she eats. She tries to eat sugar free candy and other foods. They make medical alert bracelets for people to wear that have different conditions and diseases. People wear them to make other people aware of their medical problems in case of an emergency. Luckily, my neighbor had one of these bracelets and was wearing it when she fainted at a shopping center. Some other shoppers called for an ambulance and when they saw her bracelet that said she had diabetes, they knew right away to check her sugar level and what next step needed to be taken.

Fat Burners

Posted in Health, Medical, Website Reviews on May 2nd, 2008

I was getting ready to go on a diet. I had read many labels on pills that said diet pills. I thought diet pills were different than fat burners. After discussing this with my doctor, he explained that diet pills actually worked as fat burners, too. He name many of the different brands that he thought were best. He also explained to me that there was some on the list he gave me that were made just for women. I went to the store and sure enough I found them. I never knew there were fat burners and diet pills made just for women.

Acne Is Embarrassing

Posted in Random Thoughts, Health, Website Reviews on April 13th, 2008

My daughter is in her early teenage years. She battles with a lot of pimples on her face quite often. In searching at the store for a cream to treat them with, I noticed how many products there were for acne. There are actually a lot of products that treat acne, too. I want to keep her face cleared up as much as possible before it turns into severe acne. If she would ever have to be treated for acne, I will then take her to see a dermatologist to get his opinion for the best acne treatment. Sometimes, it is worth paying more to get a prescription instead of using an over the counter product for that.

Try A Treadmill

Posted in Health, Website Reviews on April 12th, 2008

There are many people that use a treadmill daily for many different reasons. They use them for their muscles, for one thing. They just walk at a slow pace to stretch and keep their muscles in their legs stronger. Others use them to relieve tension. After having a bad day, they get on their treadmill just to walk and relax. Some also use them to burn calories and lose weight. I don’t personally own a treadmill, but go to a gym and use one. That’s one of many machines I use there.

Shower Stools

Posted in Gift Ideas, Health, Medical, Website Reviews on April 11th, 2008

Many people have severe health problems that prevent them from being able to stand very long while taking showers. A friend of mine has deep vein thrombosis in his left leg. It causes much swelling and pain. He always tried to take a fast shower so he wouldn’t have to stand quite so long. He recently purchased a shower stool. It makes it much easier for him to shower and he can take longer ones now. By using a shower stool, he can sit down and stretch that leg out. This way he is not putting pressure on it by standing too long or by bending it. He feels this is one of the most useful products they’ve made that he has purchased to use, due to his medical problem.

Give Drug Rehab A Chance

Posted in Random Thoughts, Health, Society, Website Reviews on March 26th, 2008

There are so many people that really do need to go to one of the many drug rehabs that could help them. The problem though is that way too many of those people know that they need them but are too scared of how the addiction withdrawal will feel. They are so used to feeling good from the feel of the high. They don’t think of the cost it is causing their personal health and also money, so continue to just keep using. There are many drug rehabs that more addicts should find and utilize, to kick their habit. It would make make their life so much better, in so many ways, if they would only realize this.

Ellipticals Are Great

Posted in Gift Ideas, Health, Shopping, Website Reviews on March 23rd, 2008

My doctor prescribed me to go to physical therapy 3 weeks ago. One of the machines I worked out on was an elliptical. It was the easiest work out machine I have ever tried. I have tried the treadmill and many others, but nothing compared to this one. It gives you a good healthy workout, and was actually pretty easy to do. I think everyone that goes to physical therapy or a gym should try the ellipticals before any others. They will be so glad they did. I’m now thinking of purchasing one to have to work out at home at my own convenience and time.
