Comment: I am a student of good school. My teacher who is in her 50's has
diabetes. She believes that when entering a choclate factory she can have
her sugar rise. I have been trying to tell her that its false. She wanted
to hear from an accredited profesional. She will not ask her doctor
because she told me she dos'nt trust the doc.

Comment: Recently I had a reaction that caused my blood pressure and body
tempature to go low as well as loss of conciousness.Prior to this I
reacted to one Brazil nut with the bottom lip filling with fluid and my
throat closing.The night before this episode we ate out and I had
pastromni on rye.I was wondering if any thing in either of these can be
linked with brazil nuts.

Unfortunately, snopes does not deal with kidneys unless they are missing.

Comment: My husband has just recently been diagnosed as being in the 3rd
stage of kidney disease so when I read the article about raisins and
grapes being toxic to dogs it make me wonder if that could have had
anything to do with my husbands problems. I know grapes and raisins are
"people foods" but there are times when "people foods" are not good food
for people as well. This is just a thought that I had and was wondering
if you knew the answer.

Comment: I had gotten very ill after eating a Rita's Italian Ice Gelato.
I had the Georgia peach with the vanilla custard. I ate this around 8pm
on Monday night. My mom was with me and she ate a large mango italian
ice.

I went to bed as usual. Around 2am I awoke to major gut pains for about
an hour that was followed by several trip to the bathroom due to diarrhea.

I called my mom and she had not gotten sick. I had called my sister and
told her how I had been sick all morning. I told her the only thing that
I had, and no one else had, the night before, was the custard.

She said she was told to not eat Rita's Italian Custard while pregnant.
It has some kind of bacteria in it that affects pregnant women.

I am 12 weeks pregnant. Could that actually be true?

Comment: Until recently, I was able to research emailed messages I recd to
determine if they were factual or not.

That seems to have changed! Why?

Yes. But if you drink enough you won't care.

Comment: I had a tooth abcess. I hate to take antibiotics because of the
side effects. I looked on line for a homeopathic cure. Raw cashews.
Chewing an ounce twice a day cured my abcess in 48 hours. Why?

Comment: Many years ago I had bilateral mastectomies for a breast disease
that was not cancer. Am I still eligible for breast reconstruction under
the new mastectomy law? The mastectomies were paid for by my insurance
company in 1979. They also paid for the implants. The implants ruptured
in 2002 and I would like to have breast reconstruction.

Comment: To Whom It May Concern:

I have psoriatic arthritis. My neck and left wrist bones are fused
because of this. I also have the condition in my spine.

My rheumatologist, of many years, has suggested that I consider the Enbrel
[etanercept] weekly injections.

I have heard remarkably good comments made about your website. Could you
suggest any articles or publications that I may read to find out more
information about this drug?

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
