I definitely had a tough time these past few days, my slacking off sleep really affected my health and it was only a matter of time —˜til the bad karma arrived. Then, I got this stuffy nose and a pack of Kleenex tissues on my desk. Catching …

For a few years now I have seen commercials for the Slimquick Diet, and although I’ve never taken their dubious claims seriously, I wondered how exactly the plan was supposed to work. When a friend of mine spotted a super sale on Slimquick diet packets, I figured …

Northeast Family Practice is an office for the offices of Terri Wilkerson Riddiford, MD and Donald L. Turner, DO. For this review I will focus on my experience with the office and with Dr. Riddiford. Dr. Riddiford really does know her stuff. She has the most integrative approach to …

I was suffering from continuous bacteria bladder infections which really were severe and painful. They were happening to me continuously every three or for months for 1 and a half year and I always needed the antibiotics treatment to heal them. Whenever the wind blew a bit harder or …

A week ago would have been the first time that I actually used the brand “Slam Condoms”, even though my friend told me that they were cheap quality because of her experience with them, and that we should use another brand. However, I still went along and used it, …

More often than not, we always had sweaty armpits that always annoys us. This is one of the disadvantages living in the tropics. At most when you are rushing to get a cab, pushing elbows against each other just to get a ride in the LRT ( Light Way …

Since my work involved a lot of time being spent in front of the computer, my eyes felt quite strained and fatigued most of the time. Although I try blinking or just washing my eyes with a cold water, these solutions didn’t quite work very successfully for me. As …

I was in a lot of pain after a day of tubbing out on the lake because it literally takes every muscle within the body to help hold onto the float as the boat pulls it fast across the lake giving you the ride of your life. Me never …

I love Primal Elements soaps. They are made in long bars which are cut in slices, always irregular for a truly “hand made” look. Each individual bar is a work of art. Cut out shapes are inserted into the loaf so that when it is sliced, each bar …

I am not a fan of very strong toothpaste flavors, so a friend who knew I was into trying new brands suggested I try this wintergreen flavored natural paste. I had never heard of Nature’s Gate previously nor tried any of their products. They are all natural, free of artificial …

A few months back, when I experienced a bad breath from my mouth- I was greatly alarmed. Since I had been regularly taking care of my oral hygiene, I didn’t quite understand what really originated this foul smell. So before anyone else told me about it (which would be …

I recently decided to try floss picks. I ended up getting Oral-B’s floss picks, and they have Scope Outlast (mouthwash) flavor. The picks are small peices of plastic with a small peice of floss stretched out on the end. The other end is pointed into the …

I normally take some sort of supplement in the winter months to try to avoid getting all the colds and flu that go around. I’ve tried several formulas and found them to work fairly well, despite the skeptics claims. The problem came up one summer that I was not …

A few months ago I suffered terribly with mouth ulcers. My whole mouth had a break out and I was in extreme pain. The first thing I would do when I woke up was apply Bonjela. In fact, I applied Bonjela to the ulcers, using a cotton bud so …

I have bought everything out there for weight loss in the past 20 years and nothing comes close to the Six Week Body Makeover for successful weight loss. This program is no quick fix. It starts out with a free blueprint of your body type or metabolism (free …

Once in awhile I get really sore achy feet and can’t handle the pain. One of the pain relieving foot creams I like to use is the Gold Bond Foot Pain Relieving Cream. The foot cream is very soothing to my achy feet and even helps moisturize them so …

I choose this hospital when I had to deliver my second child. Actually in the beginning, it was not about the hospital that I choose but it was about the gynecologist that I choose for my pregnancy check up.
He works in some hospital and this YPK Hospital in …

I went through a period, about two years ago, when I was getting recurring bladder infections that nothing seemed to get rid of. I was in and out of my doctor’s office about a dozen times within a six month time-frame and it was really getting to a ridiculous …

When I developed a severe pain that started in my lower back and radiated down my leg and into my foot, I at first assumed it was my fibromyalgia playing another nasty trick. When it did not get better as soon as I expected, I started to wonder if it …

I have had naturally curly and chemically free hair for almost the past two years. For the majority of this time, I have struggled with finding the right products for my hair. The main issue that I have to combat is frizziness. I hate having to …

I have been using cotton swabs to clean out my ears for ages. I have been warned over and over that it is not a good idea and that it just pushes the earwax further into your ear. This may be so, but it just feels so good! When I …

I have been a fan of hand warmers and other self-sustaining heat pads for years. I had not tried this brand until recently, and I expected them to be as good as any I had used, since the quality between different brands has been generally consistent. I was surprised to …

We are all grown up and ready for the world when we find that we still have “ACNE”. About 25% of men and about 50% women still find that they have a problem with Acne. You wonder what to do when those unsightly pimples and blackheads appear from out …

Sometimes we all feel a bit run down. I have those days, especially when my fibromyalgia is acting up. I have used some of the 5 Hour energy products and some others, so I know that a boost will help me get through the day sometimes. When I was having …

I have been using CEELIN for quite sometime already, as it was the prescription vitamin recommended by my pediatrician. My son started using CEELIN when he was just two and a half years old. Before we were using CEELIN, my son often gets sick which cost us a lot …

First off, I always treat the bold claims of manufacturers with a healthy dose of cynicism. When treatments at your dentist involve chemical bleaching, or laser whitening (that’s practically science-fiction) how can a simple toothpaste make any difference? So I certainly didn’t buy this toothpaste because I want to …

I first bought this product at Rite Aid because it was cheaper than the usual kind I buy and I figured I would try it out. It was about six dollars for a pretty large container of it. The one I usually get was about the same price but …

Off! Unscented Mosquito Repellant with …

Dandruff is my worst woes when it comes to hair care. I use ordinary shampoos that can be found in the market. My hair reacts to them wonderfully. It always manages to shine especially if I take the extra time and effort to use conditioner. The problem is my …

Foot massagers and foot soaks have always caught my fancy and I would leave no opportunity to get one for myself- if any of them from the market if they truly interested me. I strongly believed that these foot products were a great aid to help revive tired and …

I’ve had pharmacists actually tell me before that there’s not much difference in effectiveness in an SPF 60 product and one with an SPF 100 (and can you believe they actually make that, because I’ve tried it before), but I still see that higher number and think it just …

Vitamin D and Calcium are two of my least-consumed nutrients because my diet is so restrictive that I cannot have the majority of the calcium and V-D rich foods, and since I am photosensitive and cannot tolerate the sun for very long, I do not get much vitamin D …

When I was younger, I began using contraceptives as a way to regulate my periods. I have never had any problems with any of the brands I have used (although I switched frequently in the beginning, the doctors had me on Triphasil for the most amount of time) …

I have been wearing contact lenses since I was in High school. SO i guess there was not much problem with how I take care of my contacts. I usually buy dailies and contacts that were extended to 3 up to 6 months. such as fresh looks and J …
