We will be staying in Johannesburg and have at least 8 free days (two sets of four) to explore the country. There are some excellent posts already on VT and we have an idea of some of the things to do. We won't be there long but love to explore and want to see as much as we can. This includes everything from game parks to museums and local culture. There is always a danger of trying to do too much and sacrificing quality for quantity so some insider advice will be very much appreciated. Anyone willing / able to help me put an itinery together ? Thanks very much. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:02:04 -0800 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,14/id,12026/#12116 Hello, you are in for a fantastic trip. The part from Mumbai to Pune (new name) is through some mountains, and there are places like Khandala and Lonavla, that a simply great to spend a few days. I was not going beyond Pune, but I ended up spending a lot more time in the mountains than I had planned.

The FDA and busybodies are often very quick to debunk quack treatments. Why has this treatment been going on for years, and yet we have no firm declaration from the official authorities saying either the treatments are effective as claimed or not? Don't they have an obligation to check into such medical claims? Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:07:39 -0800 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,10/id,12092/#12113 Well, the link gives a lot of information about the nutritious value of bananas. It also helps in regular bowel movements, some varieties being more effective for this than others. So if you have problems with bowel movements, you might consider eating bananas regularly.

I would like a room in a private house if possible. Dates from 4th December 2009 to 8th Jan 2010. Or if better in January then from jan to feb. I will be away 3 month anyway, so I can be flexible with my dates. I have been twice to Langkawi before but stayed in hotels and this time I do not have a big budget to spend on accommodation.

Hairloss is cyclical, some follicles go into sleep mode and may come back to growth mode again. So the treatment should be to simulate the hair follicles into growing hair again. Washing hair with anything is not going to help, in my opinion.

Just ask your doctor or a physio to teach you a few exercises to strengthen your pelvic, abdominal and thigh muscles exercises. Keep at it and you will soon be able to have control over your bladder.

You don't find many sites that tell us in detail about the medical tourism facilities available in the country. And yes it is over shadowed by India where there is a current boom.

From what I know, hospitals normally cater to the citizens of their country, and medical tourism is but a bonus. It benefits both the host country for the extra spending from the tourists, and the tourists who get good treatment a lower cost. Profits are probably made but I doubt if any hospital will give out this type of information. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 05:02:28 -0800 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,19/id,11303/#12082 The suggestion has its merits, true, some hospitals may be better than others for certain treatments, while not as good for other treatments. In the current state of advanced database management, it would be very easy to rank hospitals by specific procedures, treatments, departments etc. This would be better for the patient who is looking for the best hospital to get a particular treatment. Remains only the problem of a reliable organization to do the ranking and publish it. But these days who would do it without a profit motive?

That is going by train early in the morning and returned in the last train to Krakow. I have read that Wroclaw is a small city...it is posible to visit the old town only for a day? Or it is better to visit Warsaw for a day? I am going to Krakow and I woulk like to spend only 1 day to visit another city, but not to sleep there. I would like to go by myself, not with a tour.

It is not a sign of disease or skin problems. On the contrary it is good, it is just your body is regulating the body temperature this way. Yes unfortunately it could be rather embarrassing. You could wear sweat pads under your arms - but this will only result in you feeling rather uncomfortable. What I suggest is, you wear lose clothes and try to avoid excessively humid atmosphere. Why don't you visit this website - a lot of useful information is given on underarm sweating here. http://curehyperhidrosiscenter.com/excessive-armpit-sweating.htm Sun, 1 Nov 2009 04:15:05 -0800 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,17/id,6727/#12044 In South Africa, if you do not find what you want in treatment in one city, you can always find it in another.

Israel has traditionally been a place for tourism based on religion. Places holy to Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the in Israel, and people visit the country for this reason. Medically though excellent, it is not cheaper than countries like India, Thailand and Philippines, which also provide excellent medical services and are excellent touristic destinations too.

If you do not take any medicine, it will take a week. So take your pick. The so called cold medicines are only to treat the symptoms, not the cold itself. It is caused by the rhinovirus, and there is no cure for it, it runs it course before dying out.

A growing child, an adolescent or a person who does quite a bit of physical labor should not worry about a light meal at night as they would want enough carbs to provide them sustainable energy. The light meal should be light enough to be comfortable, in the sense if the person continues to feel hungry after a light evening meal, it may lead to a hunger head ache and/or sleepless nights. In such a case a fiber rich dish like wheat bread or oatmeal could be added/substituted for fruits and salads.

And since in this case the patient happens to be a child he would need more carbs in his diet. You should not hesitate but go in for surgery. It is beneficial in the long run.

Does your family have any history of heart diseases or any other ailments? When you consult your physician be sure to discuss this issue also with him/her. Your symptoms should not be taken lightly as it may be a mere precursor to something major. Please take care and consult a specialist immediately!

So if you are looking just to avoid eating non veg food, it is possible depending on where you stay. Fish, pork, poultry, etc are more commonly found. But the whole essence of tourism is to experience the country you visit, so experience the food too, and forget about the veggies for a while.

In this case an exercise bike would not help either. You need to consult a specialist trainer and physiotherapist, who can recommend exercises that would suit your problem. I am no expert at this, so I rule myself out.
