Please do not post in all caps, hard on my eyes as well as others... :)
(Also means that you are shouting in bulletin board talk.)
Blood from a newborn is normally a heel-stick for most testing.
Rattlesnake bites are venemous, the area usually gets quite swollen and tender.. many times you will actually have to go in surgically to intervene because they can develop "compartment syndrone."
Echinacea is used to help prevent colds, but it is also contra-indicated if someone is receiving chemotherapy or immuno-suppression medications. Reason being that to prevent a cld, it builds up your immune system, and with the things above, you want to break down the immune system so that the drugs can cross the different barriers and be effective.
Send me your e-mail address by personal message and I will send you some articles that will be very helpful. Do not post it here.
p.s. I only recommend and use Saunders. They do the best job of expaining the rationale behind each and every answer. It is just as important to review that area as well as doing just the questions.
Thank you for your help...I really appreciate it ...and Im sorry about the caps
I'm sending u my email in private msg.
Thanks again.
