NOTE: Any advice here is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

To Prevent Fainting: If you ever feel faint, squeeze yours fists as tight as you can, or interlock your hands and pull hard. Also, cross your legs, tighten your thighs, gluteal muscles, and abdomen.

To Prevent Kidney Stones: Kidney stones are hell and you want to avoid them! Drink plenty of water. Do not wait too long to drink water if you are exercising a lot, particularly on a warm day.

To Eliminate Acne Forever: Ask your doctor if you are a candidate for a four month trial of Trentinoin 0.05% cream. Use at night everyday. In the morning, wash your face with a non-prescription "OXY" 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Daily Wash. Do not stop this regimen even if the acne temporarily worsens. Scrub your face well every day to remove flaking. Use a good sunscreen during the day since Tretinion increases the potential to sunburn easily.

To Eliminate Temporarily Signs of Rosacea Try Clinique Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Powder. Visible redness and broken capillaries virtually disappear-instantly and for hours.

To Eliminate the pain of Chronic Tendinitis: Consider "eccentric exercise."

Ideas to Reduce Weight: Chew sugar-free gum instead of snacking on other candy. Monitor and record your weight daily: "You can't manage what you don't measure." Do NOT eat until you feel full -- try eating less and waiting 10-15 minutes and see if you are still hungry.

If you are ever diagnosed with a critical disease: Have your x-rays, pathology slides, MRI charts, etc... read by another specialist at another hospital for a second opinion.
