1. Law of Self-Recovery:
In general, the body is capable of healing itself at a certain rate. If a person has a wound or burn, the body will heal itself and recover within a few days to a week. In other words, even if you do not apply antibiotic on the wound or burn, the body will repair or heal itself. At the present moment, there is no medicine available for the treatment of viral infection. But even if a person has cough or cold due to viral infection, the body will recover generally in one or two weeks without medication.

Dori:
I heard this, but there was no source who said it was true though.

Zinc and Manganese can be interfered with by high iron making many iron overload patients deficient Means that we can have shortage of zinc and manganese?

Most of the members know this but for some curious guests and some newcomers, this might be useful.....

Did You Know That:- 

Vitamin C increases iron excretion by increasing the availability of chelatable iron,

But care should be taken as, if Vitamin C is given in excessive doses it may increase the toxicity of iron. It is recommended not to give more than 2-3 mg/kg/day as supplements, taken at the time of the desferrioxamine (desferal) infusion so that liberated iron in the body is rapidly chelated.

Emby:
did you know that one of the major causes of death in thalasseamics is transfusion of wrong blood type.
my son was given wrong blood by mistake but shukr Allah, thank God, he is well. 
please always check and double check your blood before transfusion.
God protect us all. 

Andy Battaglia:
That is great advice. That almost happened to Lisa once but she caught it before the nurse started the transfusion. Always check the bag and make sure it's the right type and also is labeled for you. I was almost a victim of hospital error (actually I was a victim continuously while I was there) when I was supposed to be taken down for an x-ray and when the orderly brought me up to a desk and said I have the guy here for his biopsy, I freaked. I made so much noise that the worker was reassigned to a job where she wouldn't have to deal with people. I suppose if I had let them go on I would have had a good case for a lawsuit, but it is a lesson to all. Make sure that they have the patient and procedure matched.
