It was almost Good Bye Cruel World! – Jaishree ’ s Story
The title says it all really. They almost lost me on the operating table when I had my hysterectomy and oophorectomy!
It was a three year battle with the NHS to recognise the fact that I was bleeding buckets every two weeks and the pain – worse than labour pain. Was told maybe its fibroids, had scans and then was told the fibroids are too small (duh!). Not one GP (of the three who saw me) thought of referring me to a Gynae.
Then when I had my MRI for a broken back, they discoverd I had fibroids as a side issue and I went to see a Gynae privately. Had a laprosocopy and was told endometriosis. Was 46 by this time. Give...

Could grapefruit be good for your kidneys?
Scientists at Royal Holloway, University of London, have discovered that a natural product found in grapefruit can prevent kidney cysts from forming.Naringenin, which is also present in other citrus fruits, has been found to successfully block the formation of kidney cysts, an effect that occurs in polycystic kidney disease, by regulating the PKD2 protein responsible for the condition. With few treatments currently available, symptoms include high blood pressure and loss of kidney function, and lead to the need for dialysis. (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

A home for Lucy
Lucy's feeding time
For a 18-month-old girl, Lucy Schurman has very grownup tastes. It’s a cold, blustery December evening in Brookline, Mass., and the precocious toddler sits in a bright yellow child seat in a spacious, warmly lit kitchen, eating chunks of avocado.
“Chili is her favorite food,” her mother Jeana comments to Pam Lodish, who is tending to food on the stove. “But she’ll eat almost anything, kalamata olives or grapefruit. She even loves curry and handles spicier stuff better than her dad.”
As Lucy eats, a playful Bernese mountain dog saddles up beside her and the two enter a heated sta...
