A good friend of mine swears by Propecia (finasteride). Hair loss runs in his family. A few years ago, heredity and stress was making him lose his hair. He started using that stuff and not only did it stop the hair loss, it made his hair come back all thick and full.

Answer by Troy
I would go to your doctor first to ask them about what to do with your kidney stones, because it will depend on how big it is. The best thing to eat/drink though is cranberry juice. Make sure that it is the natural one without any added sugars in it.

Question by fritter_kid_2: Can wheat germ trigger a psoriasis outbreak?
I recently found out I have psoriasis, I had a major outbreak, but we finally got rid of it with some antibiotics. I was outbreak free until about a week or so ago. Now it is starting to pop up on my head and neck again. I also just started using wheat germ in some foods for weight loss; do you think the two could be related? Is it possible for the wheat germ to trigger the outbreak?

Best answer:

Answer by Dagrun
It is possible that the wheat germ triggered your outbreak. There’s a lot of things hat can trigger an outbreak including stress. I never herd of wheat germ doing it, but I’ve heard a lot about grains being the culprit for inflammation, many allergic reactions and intolerances, and making skin problems worse. Ask your dermatologist about the wheat germ.

Question by Guru: How can I exfoliate eczema without irritating or scratching my face?
It seems like no matter how often I moisturize, my skin seems flaky. And It’s A LOT of flake. My skin is EXTREMELY sensitive due to the eczema, and I really don’t want to irritate it and make it even more red than it already is. Anyone know how to exfoliate my face and neck without doing all of these negative things?

Best answer:

Answer by Kristen
You’re gonna need a stronger moisturizer. If you exfoliate, as you well know, it will leave red, angry patches where the skin came off. I use aquaphor on my son. It works fairly well, but you might want to pair it with a prescription from a dermatologist. And take allergy meds- that helps with eczema as well.
If you HAVE to exfoliate, use gentle circular motions with a wet washcloth, then immediately moisturize afterwards, sealing in any water from the shower. If it is really really red, use cortisone cream. You may need steroids from a doctor.

Kidney Stones treatment using Kidney Beans
Kidney beans, also known as dried French beans or Rajmah, are regarded as a very effective home remedy for kidney problems, including kidney stones. The method prescribed to prepare the medicine is to remove the beans from inside the pods, then slice the pods and put about sixty grams in four litre of hot water, boiling them slowly for six hours. This liquid should be strained through fine muslin and then allowed to cool for about eight hours. Thereafter the fluid should be poured through another piece of muslin without stirring.A glass of this decoction should be given to the patient every two hours throughout the day for one day and, thereafter, it may be taken several times a week. This decoction would not work if it was more than twenty-four hours old. The pods could be kept for longer periods but once they were boiled, the therapeutic factor would disappear after one day.

Question by sundaysundaysunday: How do I get rid of a heartburn/acidy feeling in my throat naturally?
I don’t usually get heartburn, but for the past 4 or 5 days, whenever I eat, I get a weird heartburn sensation that starts to creep up my throat. It’s worse when I lie down. I don’t like to take acid reducer since my friend told me your stomach just makes more acid to compensate later. Is that true? What’s the best way to get rid of heartburn naturally?

Best answer:

Answer by rowlfe
Sure, just a little sodium bicarbonate in water will do the trick and be all natural at the same time, just like salt is all natural. Sodium Bicarbonate is the active ingredient in over the counter things like Tums or Rolaids. It is a myth that acid neutralizers like which work on the existing stomach acid causes the stomach to make more. There are some hardcore acid reflux drugs that cause that compensation effect. Just a small amount out of that red and yellow box with the arm and hammer on the side that you let sit in the fridge to absorb odors is all you need. Sometimes, if I’ve been out for a late dinner and go to bed early, I will drink a glass of water with a teaspoon just before I retire so as to prevent too much acid. This is the problem that Alka-Seltzer (Plop plop fizz fizz Oh what a relief it is) used to promote in their commercials. I found simple bicarb works just as well and at a fraction of the cost. You only need a little, a level teaspoon or less in a glass of water. It will taste a little salty as it reacts with the acid in your saliva, which is nothing to worry about. And you will burp a bit as CO2 forms as the bicarb reacts with the stomach acid. Again, nothing to worry about.

Question by Candy Pop: How to rid my face of acne, an oily face, and dark skin marks?
Believe it or not, I had the chicken pox when I was 8 and it contributed to my acne and oily face. Unfortunately, my skin has been destroyed by acne. My skin had gotten dark over the years (I have had acne for 9 years now) and somehow my ears remained my real skin color, while my face and neck are dark. Then, I had been in the sun (even though I tried to not be in the sun), and last year I had summer school for P.E. I had to swim which did not make my skin look any better since I got darker. Then whenever I push my nose in, oil comes out of it! And this has been happening FOREVER! I am sick of acne, oily skin, and dark acne marks messing up my face. Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can get rid of acne, oily skin, and dark marks forever? And no rude comments please.

Go to your Doctor and ask for something called “Accutane”. Don’t pay attention to any of the crap on the internet about Accutane – ask your DOCTOR any questions.
