Patient discussion about pick out.

Q. How should I choose a therapist? Hi, My 5 months-old baby was born with a very rare metabolic disease, that we currently treat with injections of drugs. So far she’s doing OK, but since the doctors doesn’t really offer any cure for this disease, and I don’t want her receiving injections all her life, we’re looking for a natural therapy. I tried to contact healers I found in several listings, but I’m afraid I’ll end with a quack. How can I know what treatment will be the best for my baby?

A. You might can ask your childs doctor for a referal. Maybe the doctor will be able to get you started in the right direction. Hope this helps.

Q. How do doctors know what chemo meds to prescribe? Do they take a piece of the cancer tumor and lab it to see what chemo drugs kill that specific cancer tumor cells. Or do they randomly figure these meds should respond to these cells? I understand that the doctors put a patient through killing all cells which may be better.

A. It all comes down to a "hit or miss" if one chemo type doesn't work then they try another, or combinations. From experience and testing they basically know which type of chemo works on an overall average for a certain cancer type.
Although many can get one type of cancer, each reacts differently in each individual depending on their immune system, age, and lifestyle. so each chemo also reacts different in people.

Q. i am all confused !!! there are so many kinds of diets and guides for loosing pounds , what should i choose
