How many ultrasounds do you normally get, when going to the Health Dept vs a Dr’s Office?

January 312010


Im 14 weeks preggo (YAY ME!) LOL. I was wondering when I would get my ultrasound. I have my 2nd prenatal checkup on Sept 28th and then after that on October 24th or 26th (I’ll be 21 weeks) will I get my gender ultrasound then or what?

Typically, you will only get 2 ultrasounds during a healthy pregnancy. Sometimes you will get one around 14 weeks to date the pregnancy, but some wait until 20 weeks.

You will get an ultrasound at 20 weeks and maybe again around 35 weeks. If you go for one around 20 weeks then you’ll have to ask the tech to tell you the sex, they are checking for a lot more than the gender at this ultrasound so it’s up to you to ask.

Good Luck


Is it dangerous for my health if there are mushrooms all over my garden?

January 312010

are there any side-effects?

only if you eat them
there has to be something in the soil they are feeding on-dead wood,tree stump,some organic material. when that is gone the mushrooms will be gone too.

Is there any difference in pet Homoeopathic remedies than the ones you buy from the local health food shop.?

January 312010

I have been buying Hepar sulph 30c from a pet store online,for my dogs for a few years now, i have run out and they sell Hepar sulph in 6c in my local health food shop, i wanted to know if i can use these for my dog also what would the doseadg be for the 6c, thanks Suzie

The remedies are the same for Humans and Animals. Though not all of the Homeopathic remedies can be used for animals some of them have extremely adverse affects on animals you have to be an experienced Homeopath to treat animals. ARSENICUM ALBUM works wonders in Skin disease of Dogs found it 100% affective in mange so is SULFUR where itching is concerned ARNICA works wonders in treating injuries and trauma and lame horses CALENDULA works wonders in deep gashes and wounds use it in Q (mother tincture potency) BELLADONNA cures spasms and convulsions in almost minutes for thorns and and glass shreds deep in the skin SILICEA in 6X works wonders and so on. NUX VOMICA works wonders for digestive ailments CARBO VEG remedy par excellence in bloating.
The regular dosage for 30C and potencies lower then 30C i.e 3C,6C,12C is 3 times a day 200 once a day, IM once a week, CM once a month. In animals usually potencies 30 and lower ones work better. And don’t mind the paid goons of the pharmaceutical industry they are just good for giving Thumbs Down to all Alternative medicine answers after all its the biggest threat to their livlihood they cant seem to grasp the meaning of the word CURE all they can do is peddle habit forming drastic chemicals which you have to take all your life one after the other and make you sicker then what you were before you started taking them and the have the audacity to call that stuff "Medicine". My pity for their intelligence and my heartfelt sympathies for their ignorance. God bless them with the wisdom to recognize truth where they see it
If you need any help treating your Dogs feel free to ask and I would be happy to help you.

Take Care and God Bless

Could long term/permanent exposure to UV light damage ones health or effect their eyes?

January 312010

Thinking of having one in my room (not growing cannabis) and i have a habit of falling asleep with light on, which is bad for your health anyway.

UV exposure cumulatively increases skin cancer risk, and can damage both the cornea and the retina of the eye.

which UGA game should I go to?

January 312010

I grew up in Atlanta and I’ve been a fan of Georgia football since infancy, but I’ve never been to a game. I live on the west coast now, but I LOVE college ball and I want to attend a game this year in Athens. Which one will be the end-all be-all game at home (or the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party)? I want to try to keep it in the division, though (ie, Kentucky, Tenn, Fla).

opinions?

PS–GOOOOOOO DAWGS!!! SIC ‘EM!! woof woof woof woof woof

Fly into Jacksonville to see the Dawgs-Gators. Southwest flies into JAX. Why do you think they call it the "Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party"? Plus the atmosphere is absolutely electric. I must beg to differ though and tell ya the Gators are gonna do the CHOMP on them. Enjoy no matter what you decide. I have cousins from Columbus, GA and plan to meet them there for the party! My young cousin Remmington was a born Dawg fan and has been planning to attend UGA since she was about 3. Enjoy the game whichever you decide to see. Me, I am trying to get Tampa Bay Rays playoff tix!

Outdoor patio… PLEASE HELP!?

January 312010

My ugly patio?
I need some ideas. We moved in and there was the concrete pad and some red pavers. We have since tried to spruce things up a bit, but the patio remains a problem. I have considered:

Pouring concrete: $800, plus ripping out old stuff

Putting in deck: $ ???, work, Az is hard on wood I guess.

Laying flagstone: $ ??? but I think it would be at least $1500

Grass would die because of the shade. We are on attempt #3 of grass between patio and planter!

Pea gravel: $150?, easy, but my baby eats it, it isnt so pretty, and it hurts your feet. But, not out of the question.

Any ideas?
Check out my picture. Westfam.org Thanks!

how about indoor-outdoor carpeting or artificial grass. It would be good for a baby to play on.
Or turn it into a big sand box to play in.

Have pair of Chinese Health Balls in oriental-design silk-covered box. Where can I find information on them?

January 312010

They are musical and quite beautiful. Booklet w/them calls them "Great Wall Brand" Health Balls.

i agree with the 1st answer
they are very much mass produced
but they are also beautiful
i collect them

they work on the yin/yang
one will have a higher pitch tone than the other
as you move them round and round with your fingers (with one hand) on the palm of your(same) hand, the 2 tones balance your chi

Is there a cost for family health care while employed by the State department?

January 312010

My husband is applying for the state department and has his oral assessment soon. If he is to get the job, would there be a cost for health care for the family, or would it be like any other job where we would have to pay for everyone but the employee?
He is applying for Foreign Service Officer, Consular affairs

Depends on his position.

What health care coverage does a congressman have? What happens to it when they leave office?

January 312010

Posted in health | 3 Comments »

America faces a health care crisis. How can Congress or the Senate much care if they have top notch health care coverage and the taxpayers pay for it?

They have a 100 percent covered plan for them and their families for life (assuming they serve at least 6 years), along with an excellent pension plan for life.

They will care about the crisis if it is something the voters want! After all, if they are not acting in the interest of the voters, they will lose their seat and their health care plan.

Unfortunately, there is so much disagreement between the "left" and the "right" that it is difficult for congress to do anything. In addition, many people (even those who truly need health care reforms) vote based on moral values, leaving health care to be ignored.
