Do u have any medical question you are afraid or embarrassed to ask your doctor?

[drgomez89]

Im Jose Im and internal Medicine Specialist Doctor
Im on vacation 15 Days and i noticed my fourth year students had personal question about basic medicine subjects and they were embarrassed to ask because the thought people will mock them. Thats why i implemented and anonymous system of papers with questions in a BOX.

You dont have idea how many questions did I get. 

Then i writing this post to let you guys know u can ask me anything u want.
Its amazing the huge amount of LIES internet says about medicine subjects

 Im here for you guys and if you have a question for yourself or anyone you care about.
For only $5 valued ETHER or Bitcoin i can give u a full answer with their respective bibliography to prove its truthfulness .

Just PM And if u guys want we can open a thread to share information about a topic every week. By you deciding the topic with a Survey.
 

[Oilacris]

Why not give out some samples of the truth that you are talking into?

Ex.
Get some medical information in the net which is a lie then you prove it out.

$5 for consultation? It would be a hard sell.

[drgomez89]

IF u want we can talk about the information ONLINE.
PETA.org  https://www.peta.org/features/got-autism-learn-link-dairy-products-disease/

They talk about the relationship between a cow milks protein named casein and his relationship with
AUTISM autistic behavior and the cite this 2 articles (Article 1)https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?uid=8869369&cmd=showdetailview&indexed=google and Article 2 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12168688 and they talk about those articles like they are stadistically solid. But if you go through them and analyze them

• they were only 20 patients in every group (if u want the full articles i can send them to you)
• the methodological design of those studies they dont explain if the studies are blind or double blind
• the ages of the patients (this is particularly important because the development of the brain of everyone changes with age)

,   
the number of participant are very low to have enough statistic and interpretative power and also be able to  extrapolate their results. But in the article they talk about the articles as if they are rock solid truths.



We can search for some new meta Analysis like this one https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28612113 and we can see the search criteria which they use they can get almos 220 patients and they identify most of the studies which show differences are related to parents tools to measure their children behavior.

And if u have a family member with  autism spectrum disorder. Im sure you have heard about those diet interventions.... even some medical doctor protect those beliefs. (because there are not solid rock results)

We can talk also about Cross fit and pregnancy, insulin use and the risk of going blind (this may surprise you).
Im at your services guys and also i can get those articles for you.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea if you could prove that you are Jose the Internal Medicine Specialist. Anyone can say anything they want on a public forum.
Posting some proof could get you some costumers maybe. I wish you luck with your thread!

Pretty simple really, don't drink alcohol. You don't need a doctor to tell you that.

[Reatim]

You are a medical specialist and a doctor by profession but you can still spend time here in forum just to answer questions for 5$?You ca just use your tome facing your clients and may earn more than what youre asking here.

And also medical question concerns health so i dont think people will risk their chances to pay 5$ with no assurance at all than going to ask their doctor about their problems.

I don’t know if there will he someone that needs this service but for me?no i’m not.

Very interesting that you've created a consultation thread.

I'm 24 years old a heavy smoker, recently I had this kind of situation when I cough my upper left shoulder hurts. I would like to know if it will lead to lung cancer or lung failure? Or not related to lung disease?

I drink alcolhol too, sometimes drinking alcohol is just part of our life especially when we go out with friends, going into party, etc.
IMO, gout is cause by lack of exercise and excessive eating of meat,.. .and I think people can avoid eating meat if they want too but if their body is already getting use to alcohol, they'll look for it.

Anyway, I like read some comments from a doctor here regarding that kind of health issue.

This kind of pain are named Gout flares. Its important to know when was the alst time you checked your uric acid levels.
If they are over 6.8 mg/dl the uric acid easly precipitates and becomes crystal. And those are the one who causes the pain. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=5027604
Long-term success in achieving and maintaining subsaturating serum urate levels ( <6.0 mg/dl) is attended by clinical benefits that include cessation of gout flares, resolution of tophi, and improvement in patient physical function and health-related quality of life.

Important things to know
1 Gout can lead to

• Recurrent flares of inflammatory arthritis (gout flare)
• A chronic arthropathy
• Accumulation of urate crystals in the form of tophaceous deposits
• Uric acid nephrolithiasis
• A chronic nephropathy that, in gouty patients, is most often due to comorbid states

2 About the alcohol intake

• In patients with established gout maintaining goal range serum urate levels(<6.0 mg dl) on pharmacologic urate-lowering therapy, small amounts of alcohol intake are unlikely to trigger flares or promote disease progression.
• Beer, liquor, and wine were all associated with an increased risk of gout flare in patients with established gout and at least one gout flare in the prior year BUT A significant dose-response relationship was found between the amount of alcohol (beer, liquor, or wine) the bigger the dose the higher the risk
• Some studies suggest Wne has lower risk to develop gout flares but the best thing its to avoid it until your serum urate level  reach 6.0 mg/dl

About Hypertension medication

• Hidrochlorothiazide raises serum urate levels with doses over 25 mg a day
• Losartan Lowers serum urate levels with 50 mg or more a day
• calcium-channel blockers have been found to decrease both urate levels and incident gout risk https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=22240117

About Diet
 Dietary purine restriction has proven to be an impractical means to manage gout, despite urate being the end product of purine metabolism. Furthermore, with the availability of potent antihyperuricemic drugs, this dietary approach is rarely necessary and infrequently employed, except in individuals with severe renal insufficiency or intolerance of pharmacologic therapy.

About the Gout flare
The treatment of a gout flare is based on 4  key aspects

• serum urate lowering drug (allopurinol or febuxostat)
• Colchicine 0.6 mg twice its important to prevent gout flares can be taken up to 6 months
• Nsaids Like indometacin 50 mg every 8 hours helps inflamation and pain relief
• Hidratation

Hi madfet

Its important to know when u started smoking and how many cigarettes do you smoke every day
you can calculate your pack- year relation
https://shouldiscreen.com/English/pack-year-calculator

Over 10 you are un moderate risk of developing COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
and over 20 you are at high risk
And over 30 you need to be check for LUNG cancer with a  low dose radiation CAT scan
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4849359/

Important things to know

• cigarette smoking is thought to be causal in 85 to 90 percent of all lung cancer https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=12527563
• Chest radiograph screening does not reduce mortality from lung cancer, although there are limited data in women. thats why for screening you need a Low dose radiation Cat Scan
• The majority of patients with lung cancer have advanced disease at clinical presentation
  This may reflect the aggressive biology of the disease and the frequent absence of symptoms until locally advanced or metastatic disease is present https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=26811226
• Chest pain — Chest pain is present in approximately 20 to 40 percent of patients presenting with lung cancer and is more common in younger compared with older patients https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=2992757

Its unlikely for you to have lung cancer or lung failure right now unless you have any genetic mutation.
Its important to know characteristic about the pain :
Like if the pains is always there? or only when you deep breath
or if it was only i time u felt it.
if you have any more question u can easily DM and i will be pleased to help you.

Is there an effective way to treat social anxiety other than taking prescription drugs that slows down your cognitive abilities or makes you feel numb emotionally or even unmotivated to do anything (Xanax for example?)

Also,I have a question that I just woudn't ask my doctor just because I know the outcome won't please me,what do you think about Nootropics in general?

[CristianOff]

Such a pleasure having a doctor between us.

I think you proved you know your stuff and it looks like you are a real doctor from your writings. I wanted to ask you a question regarding your methodology however. You say you will
find the relevant bibliography / citation to prove something wrong. But since there are two opinions in contrast, does that not mean that you can find two bibliographies, one saying the
way you see it and one saying it the way others see it? How trustable are academic sources and why can we trust them that they provide relevant information?

 Thats why when i was writing about the relation between autism behavior and the cow milk consumption  i pointed out the weak points of the studies PETA used and compare with another article with a more solid design

the most important thing about medicine articles its about the study design and if the statistical tools they use are the right ones. Even in the most prestigious journal we can find studies with a weak design. and they are published there. 

If u guys want. We also can talk about critical reading

I have a gout, can you help me how to treat it.
When I drink too much alcohol especially beer, the next day I would feel so much pain, I am still at my 30's now.

What can you recommend to me to live a healthy life and to eliminate this problem?

Try this for two weeks:


Avoid fried foods.

Avoid processed foods as much as you can.

Avoid most meat as much as possible. Eat fish instead... Healthy fishes like, sardine, tuna, wild salmon are good

Gradually reduce your alcoholic intake if you are addicted to alcohol. You could use myrrh oil instead or burn solid myrrh & breath in the smoke, deeply. It could help reduce the pain and probably help you stay off alcohol.

Drink lots of warm water in gulp, in space of 2hrs. Add juice of about 3 oranges (a bit soured oranges) in the warm water and drink. Make sure to drink the water while it's warm.

Fast from morning to noon. Eat only fruits and vegetables while fasting.

Watch what you eat after fasting. I would suggest you avoid eating foods cooked by your parents/wife/servants during the 2 week period.
Eat what you cook so that you'll be sure that what you add in your food while cooking are healthy.

 Add very little salt while cooking and don't use other oil aside olive oil or other healthy oil.
You need to have some pity on your body and eat right.

Buy  foods from local markets, especially foods produced by subsistence farmers or organic foods.



Do this for two weeks and your body will heal gradually. Send me message if you need me to guide you.
 If this doesn't help, you will need to see a good doctor.

did you see this kind of post those are good advices but they does not have  any bibliography  once a patient started metrotexate because his neighbour told him it was a good treatment for psoriasis. ( its true ) but the details are importante. the neighbour told him the dose was 5 mg every day. she took it for 2 months... and his bone marrow stopped working because the dose she was taking was excessive.

About the Vitamin C use with medical benefits in the last years have been some meta analysis like this
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5000725/
Who show its really really hard to find benefit in the use of this suplement.
Somme studies show little very little benefit, another one dont show  real benefit.
And the studies that show real benefit the are open label, observational. What im trying to say is we need more studies with better methodological design


And https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=24566474 in this Last review of the literature there isnt enough evidence to recommend the use of vitamin C.
