Question: How do cure a slice of wood from an old oak? My mother just had an old Oak taken down and I got them to save me a piece of the main trunk. It's about 3 feet wide, and maybe 8 to 10 inches thick. I'd like to have it cut up into 1-2 inch thick segments to make small tables. How should I cure it so that it doesn't crack as it dries? An arborist friend said he'd heard that rubbing it daily with linseed oil for about a year would work, but that he'd never tried this himself. Any ideas? Would cutting it before it cures cause the segments to warp as they dry, or should I leave it as one big chunk?

Answer: Guess what...your friend is right. if you slice wood before it has had and chance to dry as a whole trunk it not a good start. The wood will shrink, you can't stop that. But you can try and replace moisture in it. Treating with Linseed oil on a regular basis over time may reduce the probability of the timber splitting while seasoning (slowing the drying process) the segments. logs usually take up to 12 months of seasoning, cut timber hastens the moisture loss. We've made quite a few tables out of sliced truck and yes some crack and splits, but you can work with it and still have a beauitful piece. Good luck,

Question: What is the natural cure for Diabetes and Multiple sclerosis? You always hear about natural cures for diseases, but you never hear of what they are or even the treatments. I've heard there is a natural cure for Herpes, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and hypertension, but no one ever seems to know what they are, or where they can be found. I have even read that book 'Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About' by Kevin Trudeau and he just beats around the bush. Is there anyone out there with solid evidence and answers?

Answer: I am sure that if there was solid evidence backed by real proof of natural cures for diseases that _many_ healthcare professionals would be talking about them, they would be in respected journals, even the so-called 'evil' pharmaceutical companies would be manufacturing 'enhanced', 'safer', 'more effective' natural cures. Just look at all the various companies that make different kinds of Vitamin C, Rosehips, Iron pills, and the like for your local grocery store. IMHO, I think you're best bet is to work with a professional doctor. =============== Be cautious when referencing Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About." Do a little reading on this guy, then decide for yourself. Personally, I think he's a huckster out to make a buck using ridiculous claims backed by pseudo-science and possibly outright untruths .. but that's just my opinion .. and some other people like doctors, respected journalists, etc. Analysis of Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures" Infomercial (2004) by Stephen Barrett, M.D. http://www.infomercialwatch.org/tran/trudeau.shtml Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Cures_%22They%22_Don't_Want_You_To_Know_About Kevin Trudeau Banned from Infomercials http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/09/trudeaucoral.htm 20/20 Report "King Con?

Question: How to cure hole in the head disease? My friend has a 4" jewel fish and it has some holes in its head. He tried used a medicine called general cure which contains 125 mg of metronidazole. Is this enough of a dose or do we need a stronger medicine? It is in a quarantine tank by itself with a cave and three plants. It is very nervous and is lethargic. Will it die of starvation before it is cured? Please help.

Answer: True hole in the head is not a parasite, but some parasites can look much like hole in the head disease (HITH) Below is a link to one of the best write ups on HITH I have seen in a while. HITH takes a very long time to completely cure and you will have to watch the fish careful during that time for bacterial infections as well as fungus and parasites. The treatment you used won't cure the HITH but will help if an infection was present. Treating with a Malachite green medication wouldn't hurt either to remove any fungii and small parasites from the tank. The key to the cure lies in excellent water quality and a good varied diet. Feed as many different foods as possible and be sure to include plenty of plant matter. The various "green" frozen foods would be an excellent addition to the diet. http://www.oscarfish.com/cms_view_article.php?aid=3 Hope that helps him! MM

Question: How would you cure bladder stones in a dog? My mother's small dog has bladder stones & we noticed it when there was blood in his urine. The vet said the only way to cure them is through surgery however my mother is nervous to put her dog through this. He is otherwise a happy & healthy dog & it doesn't seem to be bothering him. Does anyone know of any cures other than surgery for this? The dog is 10 years old.

Answer: There are a few ways to deal with this: 1) Surgery (opening the bladder and scooping out the stones). It is a very common surgery, and perfectly safe to do. 2) Diet change. Different foods change the pH in the urine. There are different types of stones that develop- one when there is too much acid, and one that is too much alkaline. Changing the pH to the opposite helps dissolve stones. Stones that are too large can sometimes not be removed this way. 3) There is a new procedure that uses a urethroscope and a laser. The laser makes the stones "explode" and then they are extracted. This is done under anesthesia, but there is NO incision, therefore no surgery. I saw this procedure done while i was in school and it was very cool. Why is your mother opposed to surgery? If it is the anesthesia, know that if your dog is healthy, there is no reason why anesthesia will harm her. There are risks, but anesthesia is safe when the technicians know what they are doing. Surgery in general is safe when the people who do it know what they are doing. There is always the chance for infection, but that comes with any surgery. Bladder stone surgery is one that I see a lot, and complications are low. Ask your vet if diet change alone can help her, otherwise look into the laser. I'd be happy to give you information if you are interested. So what happens if you dont do anything? The stones can block his/her urethra, and he will be unable to urinate (then it becomes an emergency situation). The stones can also bounce around (they are actually sharp and pointy) and create irritation and pain to the bladder, causing bloody urine, and an uncomfortable pooch. If they are small, they may also pass through the urethra and get stuck which again, can stop his urination. To make the dog happy and comfortable, she needs to do something, soon.

Question: What's the best way to cure insomnia during pregnancy? I’ve been suffering from insomnia during pregnancy for a couple months now and I want to know what the easiest way to cure insomnia during pregnancy is. I’ve taken those herbal remedies like Sleep-MD and they don’t seem to be much of a cure for insomnia. So what are my best options for curing insomnia during pregnancy?

Answer: Insomnia during pregnancy is usually caused by discomfort on the growing abdomen and stress from expecting a new baby. You can try several things from home to help you relax your body and mind like: taking a warm bath and lighting up some of your favorite scented candles, listen to relaxing music before bedtime, or even adjusting the room temperature to where you feel most comfortable. As far as removing the discomfort from the abdomen goes, I’d suggest going out and purchasing a pregnancy body pillow. It’s designed to curve with your body and give support so you should feel more comfortable and in return cure your pregnancy insomnia.

I didn't tell him about the vodka but I spoke to him only recently and he changed my dose but it's still happening. It's hard to handle the restlessness and tiredness everyday.
