Antibiotic side effects: what to look out for?

Betty Rivera14 says:>
If you're dealing with redness, dryness, itching, or thick discharge without a bad smell, you've likely run into Candida:
Here’s a fix for anyone struggling with "down there":🙂
Ginger—you know, that root-looking spice.
Basically, take about 2 inches of ginger, toss it into a quart of cold water, bring it to a boil, then let it simmer on low for another 15 minutes.
Soak some cotton pads in that liquid (once it's lukewarm) and apply it to the area.😉
It works. Tested and proven.
Magik, great name.👍

I didn't grow up in China,
so I'm not Chinese...
Comments like this just prove how superficial some people are—how they'll argue about things they clearly don't understand at all...
If it weren't so pathetic, it would actually be funny...

Amy Fox97, thought I’d throw one more thing into the mix.
Since you brought up that theory about Yin and Yang, along with Qi and how it relates to illness, here’s a bit more context.
These are the most common, mild symptoms you see when spleen function starts acting up:
Qi deficiency:
- Fatigue, especially after eating, and trouble focusing.
- Bloating, gas, or occasional constipation.
- Cold hands and feet.
- Constant cravings for sweets.
Yang deficiency:
- Feet that are always cold.
- An inability to handle the cold or eat cold foods.
- Frequent urination (this is actually pretty interesting in kids).
- Joint pain or stiffness in the morning.
- Lethargy and a total lack of drive.
- Needing way too much sleep.
- Chronic exhaustion.
Yin deficiency:
- Night sweats and hot feet.
- Sleep issues.
- Thirst, dry mouth, and a dry throat.
- Internal restlessness.
That’s all for now. I don't really feel like writing a novel today.

Just hit three liters daily and the problem will eventually clear up on its own.. 😉
Or is it just going to get even bigger?
Brandon Booth6, do you consume milk or dairy products, and did you eat a lot of them growing up?

Hey Amy Fox97, I’m right there with you on everything mentioned above. Unfortunately, here in the States, people still tend to put more faith in pills than anything else. 👋 🙂 It’s just easier for them to pop a couple of tablets every day and call it a day, I guess...

Kudos. Reading through these posts, I find myself agreeing with you completely.
Western medicine tends to focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root cause—which just means the illness eventually comes back even harder or takes a different form later on.
As for diet? Honestly, most people have no clue what they’re actually putting in their bodies. Despite all the abundance we have here, our stomachs are full while our systems are starving.

Amy Fox97 said:What kind of diet are you talking about? Can you elaborate?
Look, it’s a dietary approach based on the five elements used in Chinese medicine, centered around the theory of Yin and Yang.
Yang land - sweet
Metal - spicy
Water - salty
Wood-sour Fire-bitter
Each element corresponds to a specific flavor.
Beyond that, there's the thermal value—meaning some foods cool the body down, some heat it up, and others are neutral.
The goal is to figure out where the imbalance started and why. A decent practitioner will ask you a few questions, check your tongue, and use your pulse to make a diagnosis.
From there, they factor in your constitution, age, occupation, and so on...
Then they put together a meal plan.
Honestly, it's pretty straightforward—no calorie counting or obsessive measuring involved.
At the end of the day, since we all have to eat anyway, why not eat things that actually benefit us? Why not avoid what hurts us, or at least try to find a balance? Think about smokers, for example.

Acupuncture can actually be helpful in certain situations.
It really all comes down to the root cause of the issue. If you're dealing with poor energy flow—what people in China call Qi—then acupuncture can definitely make a difference.
Someone mentioned using it for weight loss earlier.
Well, obviously some people will lose weight through acupuncture, but again, it depends entirely on why they're carrying the extra pounds.
The reality is, you aren't going to keep that weight off if you don't change how you eat. If you've gone through acupuncture treatments and successfully lost weight, do yourself a favor and find a solid nutritionist—ideally one who works with traditional Chinese medicine principles. That’s how you guarantee actual results.
Oh, and one more thing: becoming a competent acupuncturist takes years of study. You're better off staying far away from anyone practicing without a degree from a reputable, well-known school.🙂

Heat and cold allergies / physical urticaria
in Health ·
Based on what you wrote—and if you look at it through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine—it sounds like you’re dealing with some kind of damp cold attacking the spleen...
The culprit could be anything from overindulging in cold foods and drinks, like ice cream, beer, or watermelon.
In Chinese medicine, the spleen is basically held responsible for pretty much everything. Most issues stem from poor diet, or more specifically, eating things that just don't align with your body type.

Microwave ovens

So, about microwaves
I have a quick question for anyone who uses one every day—whether you're actually cooking or just reheating leftovers. Do you deal with any digestion issues? You know, the usual bloating, gas...
Also, how’s your focus been? Any issues with weight gain?
I'm wondering if all this stuff people say about microwaves being harmful is actually true.
If anyone feels like running a little experiment:
Boil some water on an electric stove and heat some in the microwave. Let them both cool down, then use them to water two different plants. Use the microwave water for one and the stove water for the other. You'll see the difference pretty quickly.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Amy Fox97 says:
What do you mean I have no clue about the five elements?
Aside from everything else, those five elements represent the five seasons.
Wood = Spring
Fire = Summer
Earth = Late summer
Metal = Autumn
Water = Winter
Take the Chinese approach, for example. When we think spring is starting here, their calendar puts us right in the middle of it. Each season lasts 72 days, and there are five of them. Plus, there’s an 18-day transitional period between each one that falls under the earth element.
It’s the same deal with food—everything we eat is categorized into one of these five elements. It goes all the way down to organs, and even a human life can be broken down into these five parts.
Anyway, that's enough. I don't feel like typing more.

Heart health: Aortic issues and concerns

Hey everyone,
So, here's the deal:
An old friend of mine just had surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He’s struggling now—dealing with everything from extreme fatigue to rapid weight gain (he put on 45 pounds in just two months). Given that he's pushing 60,
is there any actual chance he could qualify for disability based on this condition?
And honestly, that kind of weight gain isn't normal, regardless of whatever the doctor claims.
If anyone knows more about the specifics of this illness or what to expect, let me know.
Thanks,
