Do mudoku foot pads work?

That depends on whether you have an allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the things IN the pad. The concept of the pads are that they adhere to your feet and "draw out" toxins from your body. Because the pads change color and look "dirty" after you've worn them all night long, the claim that toxins have been dragged from your system is bolstered. The idea that these poorly defined toxins, can be drawn from the body through the soles of the feet, via some kind of osmotic process, has no demonstrable basis in fact. The problem is, there is NO peer reviewed, double-blind, clinical study that has been made of the claimed health benefits of these products. The manufacturers of these things offer loads of testimonial and anecdotal evidence, but ask them to produce a clinical study, and suddenly there's nothing to be found. The people who buy these things WANT them to work, so by virtue of the placebo effect, they feel better. Even though these pads do nothing to actually remove toxins from the body, they are not entirely benign. Some of these pads contain vinegar, which can be highly irritating to the skin, and can cause burns to the bottom of the feet. Users of these pads have reported occurrences of night-sweats, heart palpitations and terrifying dreams. The human body is much better equipped to rid itself of toxins than many people seem to think, and rarely requires "help". The best way to flush toxins is to stay well hydrated, eat a healthy diet, maintain a steady weight, get plenty of sleep, and let the body do the rest!

Safety Symbols inside the laboratory?

These could be to warn you of dangerous materials or behaviour. (acids running)

They could be to advise of safety procedures. (Fire escape, eye wash, first aid.)

They could be to aid you in using safety equipment. (fume cupboard, fire extinguisher)

Who is Dr Stephen Mak?

Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients with rather "un-orthodox" methods, as some consider. his methods include what to eat, what not to eat, solar power and other things. I'm guessing you got an email about one of his methods, cos I did too :P

How does biofeedback work?

Bio feedback helped me. It is hard to explain but I will try. It is like a game for your brain. Your brain does what the machine wants and it gets rewarded by a sound or something that it likes to see and hear. The better your brain gets the more rewards. So you are teaching your brain to do whatever you want it to do. Or I should say you are training the brain. If you find someone qualified it could really help you!

Things that may change during a experiment are called?

'Variables' are any factors that can be controlled, changed or measured. There are two types: the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable is the condition that you change and the dependent variable is what you are observing. So if you are trying to measure the effect of water on plant growth the water would be the independent variable and the plant growth would be the dependent variable.

How do you draw infection out of an infected and clogged tear duct?

AnswerUse colloidal silver. It is so harmless that it is applied to the eyes of new-borns. It is very effective at killing everything: including viruses. Colloidal silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic, virus killer, anti-fungal, infection preventative, which also has steroid like regenerative properties. It is still used for burn victims. There are no known toxicity effects of the newer pure electrically produced colloidal silver. Pure silver has no toxic effects on humans or animals. The purported side effects of pharmaceutical silver in past times was caused by protein and salt impurities from manufacturers. The new pure electrolytic silver solutions do not cause the condition known as argyia. Silver was discontinued the same year that the FDA was created.

What if you take two prenatal vitamins in one day?

If this is a one time occurance, there is no need to worry. You would not want to do this on a regular basis, as overdosing on certain vitamins and minerals is no recommended. Many vitamins can be taken in larger doses than the recommended amount given on the bottle. Vitamin C, for example, can usually be taken in 2500 mg doses, as most people are deficient. Nevertheless, in the case of a prenatal, don't overdose. If you think you need extra vitamins or minerals, get them from whole foods, or consult an ND.

Can you bathe with borax soap for scabies?

Sulphur soap is indicated I would advise against it as borax is a skin irritant. If just a teaspoon is swallowed by a child, it will kill them. If they are lucky, then it would simply leave them with their skin peeling off. You do not want this stuff to absorb through the skin and into the bloodstream (which it does). If I had scabies I would use borax but I would be sure to wash it off after just a couple of minutes. Don't soak in it.

Try quell lotion for scabies. It's available over the counter at your local pharmacy. Elimite is another product that works. Good luck.

This is an extreme solution, But if all else fails try this. Take a very hot bath or shower. When you get out imediately douse yourself all over with alcohol. After a few of these showers you'll start seeing a differences. Yes it hurts, but its better than months of Itching. Have you ever heard of the seven year itch?

Where did reflexology originate?

Reflexology originated same time when acupuncture was enjoying its peak of prosperity in China. As a matter of fact, reflexology is a plant that has sprung up from the breeding ground of Taoism and Buddhism. It is foreign to the West until an American specialist Dr. William Fitzgerald, introduced this 3000 year old of practice to the West. He put this wonderful philosophy to the test and discovered something that by applying pressure on one part of the body would be numbed or anaesthetized. However, it was masseur Eunice Ingham refined the "zone therapy" to what as known today as Reflexology (also known as Ingham technique).

What was health and medicine like in 1750-1900?

health in 1750 was bad as people in England didn't have anaesthetic which meant only a simple operation could be made on patients and sometimes cures made people worse sooo... ABSLOLUTLEY RUBBISH

How do magnets heal peoples bodies?

My own immediate family members have reported that wearing a (static) magnetic necklace has reduced pain in shoulders. Organized medical practitioners (and their minions) would argue that this is a placebo effect and that the billions of such accounts are anecdotal only, and not scientific proof of efficacy. Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Fields (PEMF) were investigated in the 1960s-1970s and found scientifically to be able to elicit healing in bone fracture non-unions (broken bones that normally would not heal) during experiments conducted on US Vietnam war veterans in VA hospitals in the USA. The key investigator was Charles Andrew Lockerman Bassett of Columbia University. Race and show jumping horses have been treated for decades using FDA-approved PEMF medical devices. In 1982 the FDA approved a PEMF medical treatment device known as the Diapulse machine manufactured by the Diapulse Corporation of America, listed on various stock exchanges. Sometime in the early 2000s, medical insurance from US Medicare was approved for certain treatments with the Diapulse type machines. Few if any medical doctor physicians have ever heard of Diapulse, and much better prefer the use of allopathic medical treatments to treat symptoms of disease rather than their underlying causes. This ignorance is due to their endoctrination into the Rockefeller-CFR sphere of beliefs. Allopathic medicine was set into monopoly control of our Western medical practice by wealthy tycoons and their tax exempt charitable foundations in the early 1900s when the AMA, the Carnegie Foundation for Education, and the Rockefeller family funded the (Abraham) Flexner Report of 1910 that recommend that all other forms of medicine be banned, closing many non-allopathic medical schools, having existing allopathic medical schools merge with existing universities, and that these be well funded by the tycoons and their tax exempt charitable foundations. The quality of medical education certainly went way up, but the choices for treatment methods went way down, impacting health freedoms world wide. Much medical study literature is still not indexed by the US National Institute of Health (NIH) on their Pub-Med Medline index accessible via the web. Selectively the NIH seems not to index successful, non-allopathic medical treatments, excepting when limitations in its application are identified. To access the missing information, medical libraries must be visited physically and books from the 1800s to present must be examined. Some of this literature is eluded to in the web indexed scientific studies in Pub-Med. The How mechanism of action is not fully characterized by any conclusive, published medical science studies. The application of engineering or physics sciences to the medical treatment field is taboo in nature due to the monopoly allopathic nature of well funded, well organized Western medicine. There are gaps in scientific knowledge due in part to the pattern of funding or publishing experimental science by corporations and the governments run by the corporations. (For example, chemical Coldfusion was crushed by Rockefeller-based agents in the US Federal Department of Energy and Rockefeller-funded universities--possibly to maintain the oil-based energy monopoly). Some commentators posit that the How mechanism of action is that mitochondrial energy is directly aided, stimulating measured amounts of ATP to elicit cell growth, and replication / proliferation of adult stem cells (for example). The bodies' own immune system response is sometimes too great, and PEMF have a known effect to reduce swelling, and nasal congestion triggered by the presence of viral infections (and possibly allergies) at least for a few minutes after treatment. The laws of physics indicate that a static magnetic field in the presence of moving charge carriers (such as ions traveling in the blood stream) shall cause electric current to flow. Current flow is caused by electrical charge potential (Voltage differences between different physical positions). This "biocompatible current" flow could be viewed as a form of weak electroporation that has been documented as having non-thermal killing / lethal effects on pathogenic causes of disease (bacteria, fungus, virus, mycoplasma). The non-thermal lethal / killing effect was in the medical literature, but specifically mentioned by various medical scientists including J. C. Weaver, and separately Julie Gehl, et al. The degree of electroporation depended upon the duration of the electric current application and / or the size of the applied voltage. This method was used by Drs. S. Kaali and W. Lyman in their study of "biocompatible electric current attenuates HIV infectivity" study published in 1990 (PMID: 15858720). The patents for medical devices filed by Kaali, et al. were examined by Dr. Robert C. Beck, DSc., Physics. Beck determined that this electric current did not require that blood be extracted, electrified, and then placed back into the body (an invasive surgical procedure), but rather electric current could be passed through the skin into arteries in the arm or legs to create the size of current specified in the Kaali documentation. Later, Beck determined that tissues other than blood could host pathogenic diseases and so added PEMF treatment to his protocol. Other shortcomings were found and remedied by the addition of drinking freshly ozonated water, and (hours later) the drinking of demineralized colloidal silver water. He publicised his treatment method as "The Beck Protocol" and conducted studies on hospitalized AIDS patients by having them agree to submit to Beck the results of PCR HIV tests, before, during, and after the treatment period. Beck claimed 100% cure rate for HIV AIDS as thousands of Southern California AIDS patients went from having virail loads of hundreds of thousands down to levels that were undetectable to the measurement equipment used by the private medical labs used to conduct the tests. Soon cancer patients were giving the treatment protocol (with a herbal treatment recommended by H. R. Clark) a try and were later reporting complete spontaneous remission from the disease.
