Sarcoma diagnosis/discussion in Health ·
Check out the page at www.zanovidan.hr You'll find a full breakdown of various cancers, including Sarcoma—covering its most common subtypes, how doctors diagnose them, and the standard treatment protocols. Sarcomas are relatively rare, which means there’s just a massive gap in public awareness about them. Generally speaking, this type of cancer tends to hit children and younger people much harder.
Linda Peterson37, I am so incredibly sorry. 😢
I'm honestly so proud of you. You handled this with the kind of grit and strength that most people just don't possess—it takes a truly brave soul to face something like this. Your dad would be so proud of you. Sending you love; please take care of yourself.🙂
A male gynecologist?!! in Health ·
Look, honey, that's called a dermatologist😉
Yesterday, our crew from the Association went to see the Pigeon to try and lift his spirits a bit, and let me tell you, the guy is a total piece of work. He really surprised us again with how stubborn he is. He said, "The bastard's back, but there's three of them now. One couldn't take me down, so now they sent three. Even if they send five, none of them will be able to touch me." (I'm censoring his choice words so I don't get banned here😉).

Not inherently. The warnings specifically mention that people dealing with epilepsy or those using pacemakers should steer clear of it.

placidjackal36 said:Is it just plain water or a Salt solution? Salt actually speeds up corrosion.

Now, get this.

1. How does an electric current somehow "know" which substances are toxins and which aren't? It doesn't. If electricity could magically pull out toxins, it would also pull out all the essential nutrients we actually need, which would leave us in pretty bad shape.

2. Aside from a tiny handful of rare exceptions, almost all toxins in the body are colorless. Even the ones that do have color aren't nearly as vivid or disgusting as what you see in those tubs. My conclusion? That nasty sludge in the water is just a bunch of metal hydroxides—black, brown, or greenish depending on hydration levels, pH, oxygen content, and so on.

3. Toxins can't just zip through your skin that fast, and an electric current isn't going to speed up their exit. They have to pass through tiny glands that simply can't work at hyper-speed. Those glands work fastest when it's hot and humid—like in the middle of a summer in Florida. But I haven't noticed people turning black, brown, blue, or green with muck during those months.

It’s a performance. Pure electrical charlatanism. You're better off just taking a regular bath with a massager and some bubbles. The electricity isn't doing a damn thing.
That sediment forms because of the iron, copper, and nickel in the electrodes, and it gets worse the more salt you add to the electrolyte. Through electrolysis, the pH of the solution rises (you get more OH- ions). Essentially, you're creating a concentrated solution of salt and sodium hydroxide, which saponifies the oils in your skin.
Those large molecules being stripped from your skin (which definitely aren't toxins!) react with the metal ions to create iron, nickel, and copper soaps—it’s the exact same process where calcium creates soap in hard water.

You are literally stripping the natural oils from your skin, which actually lowers its quality. And no, this isn't even an effective way to deal with fat deposits, since those are located in the tissue beneath the skin.

Let me guess, it looks similar to this. Go ask anyone who actually understands basic chemistry.
It's a profitable scam. It's not a "maybe"—those are objectively iron, copper, and nickel compounds.
A device like that shouldn't cost more than $83, considering the components are incredibly simple.

I asked a friend of mine who's a PhD in chemistry. He was torn. He agreed it's expensive, though. There's no way it should cost that much.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd love to see a legitimate water analysis before and after the treatment. That's all.
Sandra Parker97 said:My Mommy is fighting breast cancer. They removed the tumor surgically, and now she’s finishing up chemo. During her last chemo session, the doctors told her she doesn't need radiation because the tumor was completely excised and hasn't spread to the lymph nodes—no metastasis. She still has Herceptin treatment left. But I can't shake this feeling... even if they say radiation isn't indicated, wouldn't it be better to just go through with it... just to be safe...?

Look, radiation isn't some "just in case" procedure you run whenever you feel a bit uneasy. There has to be a concrete medical reason to justify it. It’s an incredibly invasive treatment that can cause permanent damage to the surrounding tissue. Plus, it actually increases the risk of developing other types of cancer down the road, like sarcomas or leukemia. Not to mention the potential impact on the heart muscle, given how close everything is.
The fact that your Mommy is responding so well to her current treatment is fantastic news, so please, take that win. Don't let yourself spiral over something that the specialists have already ruled out for good reason.
Everything is going to be fine.👍

The only fact backed by actual evidence—and I’m a total skeptic, ask Thomas—is that I’ve repeatedly let my coil run both with and without my feet submerged in the tub just because of what you wrote, and the difference is night and day.
So, looking at my coil now, which has been running for several hours: when I let it work solo in the water, the water doesn't change color nearly as much as it does when my legs are actually in there. Sure, if you squint, you might see a tiny bit of discoloration from rust, but honestly, the old guy at the shop didn't even notice a thing. The water stays mostly crystal clear even after thirty minutes of operation. Then, I did the treatment with my feet in the water, and once again, the distinction was unmistakable.
Furthermore, I’m betting there isn't some wild chemical reaction triggered by dipping a live electrical coil into the water that causes those oily slicks to float on the surface like someone spilled cooking oil. 🤷

Maybe everything you said holds up technically, but I’m still waiting for some miracle to happen where someone actually performs a proper before-and-after water analysis, something I just haven't been able to pull off myself.
Jeffrey Torres said:I forgot to ask—how long does the recovery actually take? Besides amputation, which I assume is the absolute last resort, what else are they going to do for him at the hospital? I'm trying to figure out the total timeline here. If they start him on specific therapies, will he be able to keep working, or is he looking at extended medical leave?
Thanks again to everyone for the help..

They’re going to have to run a battery of detailed tests first just to gauge the damage. When my grandmother needed a leg bypass to fix her circulation, they went through a whole process. He'll likely be put on some medication, too. My grandma also used hyperbaric oxygen therapy, so that might be an option. She eventually went to a rehab center in Arizona for physical therapy, as well. As for how much time he'll need off work, that's entirely up to his specific situation and how he responds to treatment.
Dieting, starvation... in Health ·
Some people just can't win because they're battling underlying hormonal imbalances, like thyroid issues. Anyone out there struggling to drop weight despite doing everything by the book should probably get their reproductive hormones and thyroid levels checked out.
Jeffrey Torres said:Thanks for the input. He’s pretty spooked right now—and honestly, who wouldn't be?—but the real issue is that the doctors here in the States are a complete disaster. Everyone seems to have their own conflicting diagnosis. He was handed some pills on Saturday to supposedly improve things, but unfortunately, he noticed this morning that the blue discoloration is creeping up toward his pinky finger. I told him he needs to quit smoking, stop eating heavy steaks late at night (which is his favorite), and maybe get some exercise. I figure those lifestyle tweaks would help.
mistyranger51, what do you mean by "all sorts of things"?? Please elaborate a bit...

Good grief, he needs to get to the ER immediately.😲 This is spreading, and that is dangerous; if it spreads too far, he could end up losing fingers or even his entire leg, and if it hits his vital organs, it's fatal. Those fingers are turning blue because blood isn't reaching them to deliver oxygen and nutrients or to flush out toxins and CO2. When circulation fails, the tissue dies and starts decomposing just like a corpse, allowing toxins and bacteria to spread and hijack the rest of the body. I don't think you truly grasp how critical this situation is. This is an undeniable medical emergency, and I don't see how any doctor could come up with any other diagnosis given what's happening.
Quitting smoking and cutting back on red meat won't fix this right now. Those are necessary long-term changes. Right now, he needs urgent medical intervention! The faster he addresses this, the better his chances of saving his fingers from amputation, or in the worst-case scenario, his leg.
Look, this is urgent—get to the doctor. My grandmother started developing gangrene, and it was terrifying. Thankfully, she made it in just in time and they were able to save her limb. She’s going to need to be on something for circulation, like low-dose Aspirin.
Did you ever ask them about the possibility of shingles?
Just stay strong. You’ll get through this.

mistyranger51 said:and tanks your immune system. You end up catching illnesses you didn't even see coming.

I actually cleared my own CIN 1 while following the UN diet, and my blood work improved drastically in just a month. My liver enzymes and cholesterol were through the roof, but everything normalized right along with losing four pounds. I never felt hungry, and I didn't do those "fruit-only" days. Instead, I stuck to compotes, baked fruit, ice frappes, dried fruit, and seeds. Honestly, those fruit-heavy days worked wonders for me. And don't get me started on the starch days—lentil, bean, and corn soups are delicious. You really have to learn how to cook and be intentional about it. Most of us are just lazy; we rush through meals because we're starving and just need to shovel something into our stomachs. For a while, I was deep into macrobiotics and realized just how much your approach to food matters. I eventually stepped back from it somewhat because certain ingredients are pricey, and I truly believe people still need meat in their diet. That said, I try to live by Kushijev's message to Americans: cook and eat local, seasonal foods the way our ancestors did. Of course, staying active is just as vital.
That could point to a dozen different things, including the possibility that you’re just in a bad environment. It could be mental burnout, liver issues, anemia, or something else entirely.
Get your immune system up, start eating clean, and get out into nature for some fresh air.

loneotter52 said:I’ve been battling gas for a while now. My stomach isn't bloated, my diet seems totally fine—I've even been careful about avoiding trigger foods—but nothing is working.

For months now, I've been passing gas constantly, and the smell is absolutely revolting. It’s a total disaster. I'm seriously thinking about seeing a doctor.😕

Go. You might have an infection or some kind of bacteria.
Lump on outer labia in Health ·
It could just be some minor swelling around the Bartholin gland. You really ought to get checked out by a gynecologist, though—if that thing gets fully inflamed, it can turn into a real nightmare.

rapidbadger7 said:Does anyone know (maybe there's a guide out there?) what it actually means when the water turns this dark, greenish-yellow shade, almost like black?
thanks!
(I was just at a treatment, and the woman there "didn't seem to know" 🤷)

According to my manual, a dark green shade points toward gallbladder issues, whereas yellow-green suggests problems with the bladder, urinary tract, female reproductive organs, or the prostate in men.
It sounds to me like you're looking at a combination of those issues.
How to get rid of cellulite? in Health ·
analogridge3 said:Hey ladies,
I’ve started seeing results, but how about you?
I’ve been using some creams lately—do they actually work, and how long does the effect last?
It feels like by day three or four, my butt already looks better, but I have this annoying desk job where I'm sitting all day, so I know any improvement is just skin deep.
They say massage is the best way to fight cellulite, so let me know if anyone has tried it...
Any good advice? Is it true that drinking lots of water helps too?

Drink plenty of water, cut out the excessive salt, soda, and greasy stuff (seriously, forget about mayo), and move your body constantly. Aerobic workouts are your best friend.
As for those creams and other nonsense, all I got from them was broken capillaries that look way worse than the actual cellulite. Creams might tighten the skin, but the junk stays right underneath it.😠
Stick to a clean diet and staying active. You can pretty much forget about anything else. I spent years refusing to believe it, but eventually, I had to face reality and realize that's the only way.

Look, go get an ultrasound. Those excruciating pains could be symptoms of endometriosis or PCOS, both of which need medical management and constant monitoring to stay under control.
