For smell. You can get Glade plugins or on the essential oils side a diffuser. We have used both in our family.
Don't they also have female hormones in them?
Lavender oil can increase estrogen when used topically.

Cut carb intake right down and the levels of catarrh drop right off. Observational study in the 40's or 50's by a chap called Paton.
They already said it was due to an oil vaporizer, I don't think carbohydrates have anything to do with it.
Certain food can produce bateria that increases ones reactions. By cutting the carbs you may see other benefits.

The school is looking forward to your job application to be a preschool teacher. You'll have the following benefits: * $32k annual salary You'll have the responsibility to take care of the most precious little things that have every walked the earth. Your management are the parents, or as they like to call themselves "the people who pay your salary". These management want you to know they would do nearly everything y…
This makes me think. Could there be an opportunity for remote babysitting or remote education for the earlier grades. We can elimate the not so qualified 32k person.
Socialization matters much more than education at that age.

No, but we need IT to stop enabling high land prices that force both parents to work.

Very unpleasant! I recall spitting up blood afterwards, but it wasn't that bad at all. Although, I was never supposed to have my tonsils removed. I was in hospital for another reason but got mixed up with someone else and the wrong operation was performed.
Yikes! How on earth does this even happen? I'd at least expect some Cherry Garcia or Chunky Monkey after a quagmire of this magnitude.
I'm not exactly sure (it was rather a long time ago), but IIRC everyone else in the ward was there for tonsillectomy and someone must have got it wrong when the surgeon called for "next, please".
No Ben & Jerry's back in those days!

I dont know if that qualifies for a “long term health risk”.
We aren't lizards. We can't magically grow back lost portions of out body.
Right, but if you survive the procedure, are the side-effects going to kill you, or leave you more likely to contract diseases, and so on? That's more the question. And the answer appears to be no. Plenty of reasons why it's a bad idea, just not this one...

A middle income family in the US usually has insurance that covers just about any specialist they want to see. MD Anderson, likely the best cancer institute in the world, accepts almost everyone's insurance (and also does about $100,000,000 of free work for those without). The only people really limited in who they can see are those on public insurance like state coverage Medicaid for the poor or federal Medicare for…
As someone living in the US with far better medical coverage than average I am awestruck by how wrong this statement is. Have you ever had to deal with a serious illness in the US?
What was exactly incorrect? I would agree that "you can see any specialist you want" is an exaggeration, but as someone with good insurance, I have about 100+ different ENTs in the bay area I could bring my daughter to, Stanford and UCSF included.

#168Too late, my 3 kids had the adenoids removed. Anything that i should look out for?

#169What if enlarged tonsils/adenoids is a allergic response of immune system? These people are prone to allergic reactions in first place. Correct way of testing this hypothesis would be to cancel OP to 50% of control group and compare long-term health risks after 30 years.

#170My son had adenoids removed last year because his hearing was VERY bad because of some kind of mucus blockage. Doctors explained to us that he would hear perfectly without the adenoids, because inner ear measurements were very good. So during the OP they cut away the adenoids, and made a hole into each eardrum, so fluids could exit. After the OP his hearing was so good that he told us not to scream at him when we bar…
Just anecdotal, but I think this simple study supports the idea that it is worth exploring the cause of non-critical health issues before we start slicing and cutting.
I grew up with the worst ear infections. Tonsils were removed, and various drugs and treatments. I even needed a speech therapist because of hearing problems that were caused. My family doctor was very opposed to putting holes in the eardrums though, so they didn't try that.
I continued to get ear infections regularly until I left home, but I didn't really realize the stopped. About 8 years later I had another one, and finally isolated it to whey protein (protein supplement started using when going to the gym).
It has now been another 10 years without an ear infection.
