I am confused about my hpv situation.

ASKED by NONAME123 on December 1, 2009 - 8:09pm

I found out I had HPV after a PAP. They told me I could go to a special place to get a treatment. My doctor also told me that I could get it cut out (did that mean it would be gone for good?) or not.

What are your thoughts about Medical Marijuana? And the dangers?

ASKED by Annefleur on May 5, 2008 - 11:49am

I'm wondering about medical marijuana and the complications it can give patients waiting for transplants.

Doctors believe that medical marijuana may relieve pain, and increase appetite, amongst other benefits, but because it is still a drug with some risks, is actually preventing patients on organ waiting lists from receiving a transplant.

They believe that marijuana can affect the immune system and may hinter recovery in the crucial days after surgery. And being a natural plant, it may contain germs like aspergillosis that can cause respitory distress and pneumonia.
