Q. I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me put my father through rehab... He's an alcoholic who wouldnt go to rehab- I'm trying to help him loose the alcohol by myself...

A. if you have family close to were you live-mybe you can get them together to sit your father down,an tell his what this disease is doing to you an HIS family.you can call alchol anonemous(AA)they maybe able to help--they have a HOT LINE 800# sometimes a person in recovery while come to your house to help your father----the bottem line is your father wil not stop drinking until he is ready---An remember drinking is not because of you or your fam-people drink because they want to.----stay strong---mrfoot56.

Q. My father is suffering from high blood pressure and liver problem. I’m looking for help. My father is suffering from high blood pressure and liver problem. While searching the web I came to know of Chinese medicine. I like to try Chinese herbs to get rid of his entire problem. But I have a great confusion and no clear idea of Chinese medicine? Do you have any suggestions? I would really appreciate any help.

A. I prefer Justin's answer, you SHOULD always consult anything with your medical doctor. I never say that Chinese Medicine is bad, but the only lack is a lot of western-knowledge-based medical doctors are :
1. don't understand how chinese medicine works (because they cannot understand the language)
2. don't believe it because there are only few (or even none) published studies like clinical trial to have a evidence-based-medication

So, often chinese medicine can be combined with western medication, but for this you SHOULD contact your doctor and discuss that with him/her.

I have an experience of a patient with cancer, that believed too much on chinese medicine, and she rejected being treated with hospital standard procedure, the next 2 months, she died of that cancer. (the explanation is either the chinese medicine was totally wrong for this patient, or chinese medicine is not enough to treat that cancer alone)

Q. I had an alcoholic father. He drank all the time and didn’t allow me even to study. I feel about my future? I feel that my future is a big question mark? I had an alcoholic father. He drank all the time and didn’t allow me even to study. This has prevented me from getting good education and I am suffering now without any hopes. Do you have the same experience and did you grow up with an alcoholic parent?

A. how about your mother?
you should live your own life. I believe you have your own dreams and future, so you have to work it up yourself! be strong, take courage, maybe this is not something good for you, but maybe this is your challenge to move your life on,no matter how bad is your father.
