If I'm on prescribed medication, can I take the pills/drugs while detoxing?

Dherb's Frequently Asked Questions
We don't recommend that you take herbs (FBD) and pills (prescribed medication) simultaneously, as pills or medication are synthetic and therefore poisonous and this would be counterproductive to the cleansing and healing induced by the FBD. Whether you continue to take pills or prescribed medication in general or while performing the FBD is a personal choice that must be made by yourself.

What about people's fear of injury? Do parents and teachers sometime worry too much about this?

Welcome to Disabled Student!
from Dr. Lawrence Epple) In my experience it is the norm for parents to be overly concerned about the possibility of injury. Because of issues with balance and coordination many kids with CP fall down a lot. It is not uncommon for me to speak to a Mom or Dad that wants to protect the child from this. Usually the child is just fine with this and wants to run and play as best he or she can.

Should I buy my malaria pills in the malaria-risk country where I will be traveling?

These drugs may not be safe or their safety has never been evaluated.

What about the fear factor? Why do I fear quitting so much?

Quit Smoking
I have found this to be the number one concern among most quitters. In fact, fear stops more smokers from quitting than any other factor. When you understand why you're afraid to quit smoking you won't be afraid anymore. You'll handle the withdrawal period with authority and without feeling like you're going to be "missing something." Only if you insist.

What's to fear?

No-Scalpel Vasectomy - Dr. Kurt P. Helgerson, MD, PC
Skin bruising is common, and is harmless. About 2% of patients have more pain than they like, but with antibiotics and pain medications, this almost always resolves soon. It is more likely to occur if there's bleeding into the scrotum from a broken blood vessel due to over-activity; the less you move for two days after the procedure, the more you reduce that risk. If bleeding occurs, one half of the scrotum would feel thick.
