I recently read that the combination of Apple Cider Vinegar, raw honey & garlic will cure muscle & joint aches, arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, toothaches, obesity, ulcers, and many other alignments? Any one try this?

I’m not here to ask you to try and change someone’s mind, just what would happen medically ?
A Male, 16 years old. No previous medical conditions other than Asthma and Nut allergy.
Now, since last year has developed ( i dont know what word to use) Anorexia Nervosa with Bulimic Tendacies. He begins to dislike food a lot, as he doesnt like the idea of gaining weight, if ever he gains a few pounds when he checks each morning, he tends to fast the next day (Read more to understand this part) He takes Caffeine tablets to keep his metabolism fairly high thus high heart rate and loses some weight. However gets frequent headaches so takes paracetamol regularly also. He is not dangerously low, he is 6foot 2 and weight 62-65KG.
3 days ago, he checked his scales, put on a few pounds, decided to eat less than normal, then the next day takes 2 caffeine tablets (had 300mg day before) and 2 anti histamine (He is very cautious). He took the caffeine as he THOUGHT it was going to keep him awake, it kind of did the opposite. This had never happened to him before. When in college, he felt a little bit dizzy and nauseous, he takes 2 more caffeine and 2 more anti histamines, he thinks it could be his allergy (it isnt). As it had never happened before, he thought it was his allergy. That person had Severe abdominal cramps that day, worse than usual hunger, but ignored it. 15 Mins after taking the last caffeine tablets, He Crashed.
Went all dizzy, Blacked out, Hearing went, then Feinted. He wakes up 8 seconds later and sees everyone staring at him, at this moment it appears to be a dream, like did that really happen? Then the first aider takes him outside, the Lad tries to be sick, but only vomits back up his Anti histamine pill, as he has empty stomach. Lies down for a few minutes, is feeling slightly better, carries on the rest of his day. No hospital, nothing. Then looks on the internet. Hypoglycaemic SHOCK matched perfectly, low blood pressure. Also to note, he apparently was Convulsing, which seemed strange, thats what 3 people said, although it wasnt bad, just mild. He then gets very worried, and finds a cure for the fainting.
GLUCOSE tablets, lucozade to be more precise, it would keep him from fainting as his levels would be raised, and back to normal even though he never ate that much. Neuroglycopenia also, matched perfectly. He inst Diabetic or Epileptic.

What to expect from the future ? Anything else ? Fainting can be stopped and prevented, Seizures ? Not likely. Im talking short term here. Anything?

Please help me! I have like a gazillion phobias & anxieties I’m terrified of everything – flying: I think it might crash, cockroaches, needles, the dark, ghosts/paranormal things, dying, pain, heights, growing old, fire, the dentist, crickets, going in a car because i think it might crash, I’m claustrophobic, I won’t go anywhere on my own or if I don’t know anyone, scared of going to sleep because I get terrible nightmares … I could go on and on seriously!! I even get anxious when I pick up the phone! My heart pounds in my throat and I can’t breath properly. It doesn’t help either that I have asthma which just makes it worse!!

Also I’m a terribly hopeless romantic but I’m also scared that if I meet someone in the future he’ll end up being a killer or something or he’ll just leave me at the alter like you hear about those stories of guys who are all perfect untill you get married and then they’ll turn on you. When I see a movie you know how they have the guy and the girl who look into each others eyes when they’re about to kiss for the first time and then I think awwww how romantic, then I think how scary it could be and my heart starts pounding.

We went overseas two years ago on a huge trip we went to 6 countries and I was fine before that, cause we’d been overseas before and I used to love flying, but then suddenly when they closed the doors I started to freak out! and every little tiny thing that wasn’t perfect I freaked out and thought the plane was gonna crash. My tray table was loose once and I thought well what if everything else is loose what if the engine falls of the wing and then the plane crashes and we all die! Also, remember the TWA 800? Apparently these girls were offered a different flight and so they took it and thats the plane that blew up .. well the same thing happened when we left london to go to dubai, the check in guy said do we want to take another flight 1 hour earlier because it was only half full or something so my dad said we would and then I started to freak and think the same thing was gonna happen to our plane! Obviously I got here safe, but I’m scared that because I’ve been on nearly 20 flights in my life that the next one I go on the plane will crash because the more times you go on a plane the more likely it is to crash.

Now my biggest problem of all is my extreme phobia of the dentist! I’m sooo scared of going that if I ever get a toothache or something wrong with my teeth in the future, I just won’t go and’ll end up having heart disease or something which I’m terrified of that also but my brain just tell’s me it won’t be as bad as going to the dentist which I know it’ll of course be tonnes worse then the dentist but I physically can not go to the dentist. And then I’m scared that I’m gonna get high blood pressure because I keep freaking out about these things and that causes major major stress.

I need like a million hypnotherapy lessons or something to cure all these phobias because theyre literally just taking over my life but is there any way I can get over them myself I can’t exactly shell out the money for a hypnotherapist because I’m only 18, or if I do end up getting the money for one from somewhere, I’m scared that because I have all these phobias it’s too much to cure and I’ll be a hopeless case. What do I do to get over my phobias myself, Please please help me!!! This is literally taking over my life and my rationallity.

And please no rude answers!

I am an ASTHMA (a breath trouble or Decease) patient. I takes a tablet every night named ETO SALBETOL. (FORMULA: Etotylline + Salbutamol + bromhexine Tablets). I got too much shivering and extra faster heartbeats after taking this tablet. this shivering go continue for 4-5 hours then i get regular blood pressure, no shivering & normal heartbeats. My age is 23 but i am shivering like 90 year old man after taking this tablet, but there is no other option to kill the attack of this breath trouble. and because of asthma, i cant do any hard work, long walk or outdoor games. so my waist is 28 and my stomach is 34!!! very bad looking my figure is! give me another good tablet or Formula for asthma which would not give me side effects like shivering and give me a sure and safe way to reduce my stomach less that my chest. (well, i got this trouble in Heredity.) Thank you to all of you readers in advance, God bless you.

I have asthma/allergies and anemia. I also have blood pressure that was 145/95 in November. I have been using Proventil for a few months for my asthma, but I generally only use it once every few days. When I was told about my high blood pressure in November, the doc said she wanted to wait a month before she decided to put me on medication for it. I then started taking garlic, fish oil, and about that time I started using a Neti pot. When I went back to the doctor, (a month later) my blood pressure was 142/86. I feel that either one or all of the things that I did that I previously mentioned contributed to this significantly lower bottom number. What do you guys think? The doc still decided to put me on atenolol and iron pills, but I am wondering if it can help more than these natural remedies already are.

I do not have high cholesterol or any thyroid issues. I do have a fast heartbeat (about 100 times per minute) The doc thinks that my fast heartbeat is directly related to the anemia.
Phoenix ~ I already said that I was taking garlic. If you read the ENTIRE question, you would have known that
VRG ~ The salt thing is a great point. I never "add" salt to anything, but there is tons of salt in processed foods, so I am trying to eat less of those types food.

I also started taking hawthorne, too, when I started the Atenolol.

I have been trying to quit smoking for the last three months. But whenever I’m not very busy doing something I have the erge to smoke. Also, when I at work, some of my co worker know that I am trying to quit and they make things worse because that start asking whether I have had a cigarrette. The fact that they even mentioned it makes me want a cigarette, so I end of lapsing. I don’t want to use the patch or any drugs that help to stop smoking. And I really don’t crave the nicotine. It’s really a habit. For instance, when I get in the car, I am use to lighting a cigarrette. So, I do. I’ve tried chewing gum and that works only a short while. To add on, I am trying to loose weight as well. One day, I did ok, but I craved chocolate and sugar all day long. I ate all day long, too. What else can I do? Not to mention, I have asthma, as well.

I’ve used an awful lot of scare tactics. This biggest one yet…

My grandmother (her mother died) of Alzheimer’s and had really bad cataracts. These have both been linked (somehow, it’s just the tactic I use) to smoking.

I’ve blamed my mother for my asthma and allergies, since I grew up in a smoke filled house. Every time I go to visit my mom, even though she keeps her smoking to her bedroom and bathroom, I still get sick.

My husband and I have recently decided to try to start a family. I don’t want to expose my kid to cigarette smoke. I don’t want to deny access to the child, but I hate the idea of visiting my folks and exposing the child to the smoke.

My dad’s also smoke pipe tobacco. He should be easier to convince to stop than my mom.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

I know there are others concerned like myself.

(Serious answers only. Please no point hogging.)

I want to talk to my doctor about my persistent cough. (I have cough asthma) and he doesn’t really take time to really think out treatment plans. I want to go in armed with suggestions as to what meds I can take. . . I also have high blood pressure, so I think this limits me. . . this is just to get me feeling okay. . . then I will be going to an allergist for long term control. Thanks!
