I have been having back pain so I went to the doctor and got an x-ray, they said I had a ton of stool in me and that it could be dangerous and told me to take a laxative. However, I’d feel most comfortable doing it a natural way. What foods should I avoid and what foods should I eat?

My brother was diagnosed with ADHD but we are skeptical with all the different medications we heard about. The side effects can be horrible. Are there any natural remedies?

France did it Britain did it what about the "best" county in the world if that part of the american dream having to pay thousands of dollars a year for that. I was watching Sicko yesterday and it got me so mad that we are one of the richest counties and don’t have free health care.

I have been told I have acid reflux and have taken various meds which do not really work or stop working after awhile. I do not have heartburn or any pain, the only thing I have is drainage. Is there any supplement or other natural avenue I can take to help my acid reflux?

Why do you think the medical community has an axe to grind against the natural approach to health?

(herbal remedies, holistic pracitioners, midwives etc)

Please excuse the spelling errors, its early!

Ive recently increased my water intake. I am urinating alot but my hands and feet are still swollen. im wondering if theres something natural i can take or do? i prop my feet up when they swell to help ease ot because it is painful and annoying and i hold my hands above my head and that seems to help. but i cant alway prop my feet and hold my arms like that.

I was once diagnosed with ADD, then with Asperger’s, and at one point I decided that both of these diagnoses were the popular diagnoses at the time, according to what I’ve heard and read, so, for the most part I now choose to ignore them both, despite evidence that I may in fact have AS. There’ll always be something doctors can pin on anyone and say they need to buy meds for it.

But in my case, I’m a poor college student whose budget goes to books and food, and in my own case, I’d rather toss 0 for a year’s membership at a gym than the same dough for a couple months’ supply of whatever pills doc Smith has to push.

Either way, I have trouble focusing on anything – I can’t sit down and read a book for more than 20 minutes to save my life. If a movie’s over 2 hours long, I’ve taken 3 bathroom breaks and am sipping on my fourth 42-ounce refill while I twiddle my thumbs. Studying for anything, for me, is torture – long lectures, my bane.

Are there any ‘natural’ solutions for me?
Experience:
Doctors push pills. Most of my family is in medicine. A relative of mine, for example, denounced one of the products I had been put on (Provigil), though he himself sold it in several places.

I’m not looking for quack alternative medicines, I don’t need someone to tell me to detox my colon, burn incense, smoke grass, pray, and flog myself, but I’ll take some advice as far as altering my diet goes, or particular forms of exercise, as long as it doesn’t involve sprinkling magic powder in my orange juice.
I might try the ginkgo bilboa. But I simply can’t afford to visit psychiatrists, or try a handful of drugs at apiece each month.

I have had a bad experience with vitamins and prescription drugs for just minor ailments and every day health.I have been introduced to several herbal products and they are o.k. but i would like a product developed in its more natural form,without additives or gluten,it must be fda approved and have no side effects does this product exist

We recently got a quote for health insurance for 4! That is with employer paying half of employee’s portion. Am I crazy or is this a bloated amount?
