The question that has yet [...]
My son is 3 and a half & was recently diagnosed with mild autism. Developmentally is a year behind in his speech & comprehension development. He still has difficulty answering “yes & no” questions & obviously he talks like a child who is just learning to talk. His answers & comments seem [...]
It’s breast cancer month and I heard about getting free thermal imaging breast cancer screenings in the newspaper. I don’t have a history of breast cancer in the family, but I thought it would be cool to bring my mom with me to get screened. My only concern is taking up doctors time [...]
Children have regular checkups at the doctor’s office and during these visits your doctor might notice something different in the child’s development process. Perhaps even you have noticed something was a little off and your child hasn’t hit developmental milestones. If this is the case, your doctor might want to pursue the matter further. And, [...]

Antioxidants-a molecule found in substance such as ascorbic acid, glutathione, and melatonin-are said to prevent a number of serious diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. However, what is not widely known is that antioxidants could also possibly prevent autism. [...]
my 3 year old nephew is displaying some signs of autism or aspergers syndrome. i am trying to get my sister to get him checked out, but she thinks the doctors will think she is an unfit mother and take him into care. i want to get help for him, does anyone know what will [...]
Autism diagnoses are different than most diagnoses of other disorders. It may take doctors years to finally gather up enough evidence for the diagnoses of autism. Parents usually are suspect long before the diagnoses is given because they can see that the child may not give them eye contact or that the communication process that [...]
As an unbiased asker, I just want to know your opinions. A person I know said that in 1995 was when the increase in autism started. And that researchers noticed that the people who had autism began to show signs of it after their vaccines. I don’t know for sure, but are the vaccines the [...]
My relative has a condition called aplastic anemia. She has been
treated with medications & transfusion. Last week the doctors
decided to change the goal of care from treatment to making
her feel comfortable: i.e. stop treatment, stop giving blood transfusion…
What if the patient/family disagree with doctor’s decision?
What can we do?
She’s on Medical/Medicare.
Thanks.
Some years back a woman scientist had gotten into trouble with drug company she was working for when she reported about particular content in underarm deodorant which she said cause cancer in women. Again now I read a report from Great Britain which says doctors have found aluminum salts from deodorants in breast cancer [...]
The disorders that affect the behavior and the way that an individual interacts with others are very hard to understand and therefore to treat. Because we know so little about the brain we can’t determine what causes developmental disorders or what is the best thing we can do to help people with one of these [...]
In most cases, doctors do not know the cause of aplastic anemia. In about 20% of patients, the disease develops from an inherited disorder, such as Fanconi anemia. Aplastic anemia may also be caused by high doses of radiation or certain chemicals or viruses. There is evidence that in many people aplastic anemia is an [...]
Children that suffer from autism like to isolate themselves from others and they live in a world of their own, not caring about what happens around them. Autism is a brain deficiency which renders its victims unable to socialize or communicate with other people. Unfortunately more and more children are diagnosed with child autism each [...]
I am just curious whether autism is a global issue, or just an issue in countries where children get immunizations. Are there studies? On the Today Show, doctors were claiming that autism just surfaces around the same time children are immunized. Wouldn’t this be easy to prove by assessing the rates of autism in children [...]

There are many medications for autism currently in use. Doctors attempt to make their selections from among the current medications for treating autism based on the symptoms the autistic person is showing and past successes and failures treating that particular person with other medications for treating autism.
Caretakers of someone who has been diagnosed with autism [...]
My name is Jessica and I am 18 years old. I felt a lump on my breast and I got it checked out. Turns out it is a tumor. The doctors aren’t sure if it is cancerous of not. I know that the chance of it being cancerous is very slim but I would like [...]
With the incidents of autism up 172% since the 1990s, parents are anxious to find out if their baby has a chance to acquire autism. Seven out of every ten thousand infants will develop autism within the first three years of life. The sad thing about the diagnosis of autism is that the symptoms are [...]

Many parents react with disbelief when they hear their doctors say that their children are autistic. Autism is not always an easy diagnosis to make because of the variations in how it presents itself. It is not necessarily to get appointments with autism doctors to verify the original diagnosis. When doing their evaluations, these autism [...]
I have a dear family member who went to the doctor because of a fall – turned out she fractured her pelvis – but in the course of investigating it, the doctor discovered lesions in the bones pretty much all over her body. Turns out she has a level 1 tumor in her breast [...]
