She’s acting like she’s sixteen again😵 ...I'm honestly worried it's doing more harm than good🙂 She's pushing him way too hard, plus he's slathering on some herbal ointment she ordered from some random healer in Chicago for like $700😲 🙄
Casey Palmer5 said:Low-power lasers shouldn't be used on tumors, period. No exceptions.
I wouldn't even touch the Bioptron if I were you—if this thing is anything more than a fancy placebo, you definitely shouldn't be using it near a tumor. Honestly, any actual contraindications should be right there in the device's manual, so just go read that.
Casey... we don't have the manual... this "machine" is just borrowed...😁
So, basically, you're saying it's a bad idea to use it for fibroids??
I see you've actually used one of those lamps before, so I'm hoping you can give me a heads-up on a few things (even if it's just a rough idea);
My mom is dealing with uterine fibroids and she’s gone down the rabbit hole with all these alternative therapies—including that Zepter lamp.
Following some friend's advice—who supposedly saw her fibroids shrink after using it—she’s started "warming up" with the lamp four times a day for four minutes at a time. Now she's wondering if hitting it that hard and that often is actually a "smart" move?? What kind of side effects am I looking at here?? Like, from using it that much??
Amelia... honestly one of my all-time favorite movies👍 The lead girl is just such an unconventional, beautiful soul...🙂
I caught it in theaters about two years ago with a friend, and she absolutely hated it—said it was way too freaky for her... but man, it totally blew me away.🙂
I was actually thinking about signing up... but honestly, I’m kind of freaking out. This place feels like such a lawless banana republic sometimes. You know how it goes—someone gets their hands on your SSN and suddenly you just vanish off the face of the earth, and some shady guy in Germany ends up walking around with your kidney.😎
I don't know... I'm feeling a little sketched out by all this.😁 Look, I get it, everything is top secret and under lock and key... I totally respect that. But honestly? It’s getting pretty damn hard to "steal" data these days.🙄

😉 [/B]
Just hit up Levi's, you'll definitely find what you're looking for there.😉
My mom was actually just telling me today how she picked some up for my sister on a nurse's recommendation to help her recover faster—she's stuck in the hospital right now and just can't seem to get her strength back. Apparently, this nurse friend told her that when she was in labor back when she gave birth in Italy, the very first thing they asked her during intake was if she’d had enough Gatorade, The lady was totally floored,😲
It just makes you rehydrate way quicker since you're getting those electrolytes and carbs for an energy boost🙂
swiftbison7 said:> Chloe Nguyen3, I take lutein from Nature's Way and beta carotene.
I used to take some blend from Clarity Vision and 🤔 I can't even remember the other brand...
swiftbison7, look... those vitamins you're asking about are called "VITALUX," the box comes with 30 capsules and they usually go for about $30. I actually called my eye doctor today to double-check why I was even on them in the first place, and she told me: "Your connective tissue around the eyes is weak, which causes eye strain, plus you've got general fatigue and you're a smoker—so you need the antioxidants in these capsules."
Honestly, they helped me so much that I totally forgot I was even taking them because everything just felt fine again.😁
I found this link for you online (it's just a site from a different place, but whatever... I included the picture so you can easily show it at the pharmacy if you decide to grab some).🙂
swiftbison7 says:> Chloe Nguyen3, what vitamins were you taking for your eyes?
swiftbison7, I was on them about two years ago. Honestly, kill me now because I can't for the life of me remember the exact name, but I vaguely remember the packaging. I've gotta swing by CVS tomorrow anyway, so I'll hit you up with the name and the price once I see it.
btw, they aren't from Nature's Way; if I recall correctly, they were from some French brand.
hm..... look, I basically sorted my own mess out about two years ago when I updated my prescription. I went with plastic lenses—strictly because they’re lighter—but made sure they had built-in blue light filters because my eyes were literally stinging and throbbing constantly. I couldn't even look at a computer screen without feeling like garbage, plus, I spent some time tossing eye vitamins into my daily routine and honestly, things cleared up pretty fast.
You should definitely hit up your ophthalmologist, though. They'll give you the real deal advice, but if your current glasses don't have those filters, I'd highly recommend asking them what they suggest, the catch is you'll probably have to pay for a whole new set of lenses plus the cost of adding the filter (I think it's roughly $33 per lens, which isn't exactly breaking the bank).
Betty Rivera14, that's exactly what I'm looking for🙏 😘
if you happen to stumble onto some American stuff, let me know, because my Italian is basically just me mumbling through it, but I can always find someone to give me a literal translation.
Yeah, I actually saw that on Google myself—honestly, it was the only thing that popped up about it. It’s super thin on details, though, and I’m really looking for something deeper, like the actual history of the disease and how they handle treatment. I even checked Mayo Clinic and found nothing useful, just a bunch of vague, general stuff.
So, I'm trying to figure out which search engine will actually give me a deep dive into the symptoms and treatment options for this specific diagnosis: induratio penis plastica (lat.)—and obviously, I need the common American medical term for it too. Just a heads-up, Google is being totally useless right now. Seriously, please help a girl out. 🙏
look, the Italians are basically👎 anyway, an old acquaintance of mine is a nurse, so I just took her story as gospel
but honestly, I still can't wrap my head around the fact that this kind of dark crap is STILL happening here in the States😲 fuck, it’s like we're living in the Middle Ages or something👎
Kenneth Hernandez67 said:Look, I don’t know what kind of "jaundice" they’re talking about with your friend’s baby, but physiological jaundice is actually super common in newborns. It’s not like it’s because things aren't clean or whatever.
The doctors at the hospital told her the exact opposite during both births, though she had all three kids via C-section—so maybe that’s why.
jadetinker85 said:And we actually sat through that disaster...
I can't believe people actually fall for this kind of garbage. This whole story about the pregnant woman getting scammed by some fake medical claim? It’s absolutely mental. You see stuff like this and you just realize how much some people are willing to gamble when they're vulnerable. Honestly, it makes my blood boil. People should really learn to fact-check before they hand over their hard-earned cash to some random shark, especially when it involves something as serious as pregnancy. I don't know, maybe I'm just being cynical, but it feels like we're living in an era where common sense is basically extinct. Just another day of seeing people get taken advantage of because they wanted a quick fix or a miracle cure. It's exhausting, really.
I’m honestly speechless, just... wow. What an absolute moron. And then he actually had the nerve to walk right into her room and start asking for the manual? Unbelievable.😠
Honestly, I’d love to drag him in front of a disciplinary board, then straight to court, and finally behind bars. I’d make sure he loses his work permit too, just so he can spend the rest of his life "contemplating" his own twisted morals and total lack of a conscience.🙂
Maybe I should just shut up... this whole thing is so messed up it couldn't possibly get any worse. Fine, you stay busy then... whatever.🙂
By the way, a friend of mine actually traveled all the way to Italy just to have her kids. Get this—out of three children, only the first one ended up with jaundice, and that was the one born at a hospital right here in the States. The Italians basically told her straight up that it’s just a result of filthy hospitals and zero decent standards back home, since seeing a newborn with jaundice over here is supposed to be a rare thing in the West. I actually believe them.
When I’m hunting for a doctor, I just go private—this was actually my first time seeing this guy... and honestly, it was worth every penny. The downside: it's crazy expensive, but he's easily the best in town.🙂 Lately, I’ve been stuck using the clinic, and I won't even get into her... she's absolutely terrible. Back in February, there was a whole thing about her because she straight up told me I was pregnant without even giving me a proper exam, which is ridiculous.🙄 I usually swap out my primary care provider in December when we're allowed to switch, since I missed the window back in June... man, I can't wait.😁
frozenangler9, so sorry for what you're going through😢
Joining everyone else here, I think your first move should definitely be finding a solid lawyer. My family dealt with something pretty similar. My grandma passed away at home right after an ambulance crew showed up. Her blood sugar was insanely high, and she looked deathly ill to anyone watching, but those EMTs just refused to take her to the hospital because they claimed she wasn't "sick enough" and was just feeling a bit under the weather. She died before dawn. And nobody held them accountable.😠 My folks just didn't have the cash to sue the doctor who examined her that night. Looking back, it kills me, because my grandma wasn't ready to go—they basically killed her, and I'm stuck powerless.😢 If I had been in a position to do anything, the very first thing on my list would have been calling a lawyer.
