You should not treat cancer, for legal reasons. Pregnant women is not a counter indication, if used with common sense. Pace makers are electronical, do not respond to light. Epilepsy may be a counter indication.The most valid counter indication is lack of medical training Due to increased circulation there is usually an increase of 0.5-1 centigrades locally. The biological effects have nothing to do with heat.

It is forbidden to do MR for patients having certain metallic prosthesis inserted within certain parts of their bodies for example: surgical clips clamping cerebral aneurysms, cardiac pace maker, cochlear implants... New prostheses are made of non-magnetic metal such as Titanium. The reason for this is to avoid dislodgement of the critically placed prosthesis resulting in malfunction of the highly valuable prosthesis for the patient health.

If the contraindication is eczema, the risk is that you develop disfiguring disseminated skin lesions, termed "eczema vaccinatum". If the contraindication is HIV/AIDS, there is too little data to be sure about the probability and type of risk, since routine smallpox vaccination stopped in 1972 in the USA and the HIV epidemic was not recognized until 1981.

Always a risk-benefit balance, but if you have a substantial exposure (e.g., face to face contact with known smallpox patient), then you probably should get the vaccine. Given face to-face exposure to smallpox, there is NO absolute contraindication to vaccination. VIG might be given along with the vaccine to lessen the risk of severe vaccine reactions, if VIG is available.

Do not take any product containing zeolite if you are taking any prescription medication containing heavy metals, such as lithium, or containing platinum, which can be found in some cancer medications. home / contact us / links/ customer service / affiliates / faqs / products / about us / research / testimonials

Advancements in colon hydrotherapy and strict guidelines dictate rigorous accountability, particularly with regard to Hygiene and safety. In fact treatments are safer than the common enema.

No, the presence of a child under the age of 1 year in the household is not a contraindication to vaccination. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met on January 14, 2003 to consider, among several issues, the question of whether a child under the age of 1 year in the household should be added to the conditions or situations that are considered a contraindication to smallpox vaccination.

Ans. Contraindication to Polio are very few like immuno compromised host, severe diarrhoea and and acute febrile illness.

Ans. MMR Vaccine is contraindicated for immunocompanised hosts. It is also contraindicated in children having severe (anaphylactic egg allergy).

Live virus vaccines such as MMR, OPV, BCG and varicella-zoster vaccines, should not be given to children receiving high dose oral (more than 2 mg/kg/day prednisolone for more than one week) or parenteral (injected) corticosteroid therapy, or extensive topical (skin) steroid therapy for more than 2 weeks. Inactivated vaccines (eg. DTPa-hepB) may be less effective in this group but are not contraindicated. Therapy with inhaled steroids is not a contraindication to vaccination.

The following are excerpts from NAUI materials on the subject of contraindications to scuba diving. The first is from NAUI's Risk Management Handbook, which includes recommendations to Instructors and other NAUI Members on how to evaluate diver training applicants. The second excerpt is from the reverse side of the NAUI Medical Evaluation Form, which may be used by physicians as a guideline to evaluate potential students undergoing a diving physical examination.

Because MMR and its component vaccines contain trace amounts of neomycin (25 mcg), persons who have experienced anaphylactic reactions to topically or systemically administered neomycin should not receive these vaccines. However, neomycin allergy is most often manifested as a delayed or cell-mediated immune response (i.e., a contact dermatitis), rather than anaphylaxis.
