u can get the polio vaccination from any dispensary..

u need to understand what is PULSE polio.. PULSE polio is an eradication campaign run by the govt.. when every child under 5 is adminstered this "harmless' strain of polio vaccine it is spread into the environment by the excreta of children.. this harmless strain then displaces the disease causing strain from the environment..

so it is important that all children under 5 together get this vaccine on a single day..

its not for preventing disease in ur child but to eradicate polio from india..

so for now get ur child vaccinated but in future dont forget the dates.. if u join hands to eradicate polio ur children wont have to take ur grandchildren for pulse polio programmes...

what are preliminary tests for finding out cancer and list some good hospitals in Delhi for the same....i am talking about mouth cancer specifically.
also pl clarify if cancer is genetically transmitted?

[deepak.p]

above answer was in simple terms.. now for medical language

Even though your child is vaccinated and has his personal protection, he can still harbour the disease causing virus which is called the Wild virus in the intestines. This Wild virus keeps getting excreted in the stools and is a risk for polio to the unvaccinated children in the community. This Wild virus cannot survive in the atmosphere for long. When the oral polio virus is given it does not allow the Wild virus to live in the intestines and expels them out. It has been observed that Wild virus only lives in the intestines of babies below 5 years of age. So it seems logical that if all babies below 5 yrs of age are given oral polio vaccine simultaneously it helps to eradicate the wild polio virus as I have already said that the wild virus cannot survive in atmosphere.


By not giving pulse polio to your otherwise vaccinated child we are being selfish, doing a disservice to our country and not helping to eradicate polio from the country.

first is to get urself examined by an ENT doc,
symptoms of mouth cancer are very non specific and come at a later date only..

risk factors for mouth cancer are
smoking
tobacco
pan chewing gutkha
irritation from broken tooth
some infections

symptoms would be

ulcer non healing
sour taste
foul smell
difficulty in swallowing / speaking
loss of weight
white patches in mouth
bleeding etc

tests would be

BIOPSY from a raw area in mouth and examination under microscope (HPE)

good hosp in delhi would be
apollo, max, fortis etc
AIIMS wud be a good place to get good advice even if u dont want to get treatment there as they have good experienced docs there..

wherever u go just show to a ENT specialist and always take a second opionion

and yes some cancers can be gentically transmitted like breast cancers, colon cancers etc.. but mouth cancers are usually due to tobacco usage

wash ur face clean after u come back to ur house, the pollution blocks ur pores and causes acne,, use a mild face wash..

for treatment of acne use erythromycin local application cream

First of all, Thnx for opening such a wonderful thread. i got three questions as if now...wich m kinda confused bot
1. i eat four eggs a day. m not overweight..n not having any kind disease esp cholestrol or heart disease. so my consumption of eggs per day is harmful to my body?

2.i knw normal resting heart rate for a person shud be betwn 60-100 ...mine is 74 bpm ...the thing is i heard in one shw wer the individual says my heart rate is average 48 and i run 5 miles everyday so m gona beat him. my question is ..the athletes have der heart rate of 40-45...lance armstrong is holding world record for 30-32 bpm ...so how come dey are fit n m also fit...and what shud i do to have a heart rate like 45bpm for me if its fit for a person?

3.well this is bot "prostrate cancer check up" ...do they put ther finger up the ass or der is any other way to do the check up.? ...coz i wud like to get checked...but m not gonna let any one put anything up my ass?


for the informative thread...now i dont have to google everything.

eat four eggs a day

bro thats more than required.. even one egg a day wud suffice if ur not into body building or wrestlin..

boil the eggs.. the white portion is the protein part.. eat it.. the yellow portion is the fat or cholesterol part avoid it

the athletes have der heart rate of 40-45...lance armstrong is holding world record for 30-32 bpm ...so how come dey are fit n m also fit...and what shud i do to have a heart rate like 45bpm for me if its fit for a person?< image >

heart rate depends on the cardiac output... athelets have a healthy heart due to exercise.. their heart pumps out more blood per beat as compared to mine or urs.. if heart needs to pump out 5 litres in one minute out heart needs to pump 80 times but their heart pumps double blood per beat so 40 beats suffice.. regular exercise can bring down the heart rate...

prostrate cancer check up"

first check up is a physical examination which is done by PR or per rectal examination.. a finger(lubricated) and gloved is inserted into ur anus and the size and consistency of prostate is checked..

if its significant u can go in for an Ultra sound(USG) and then other test like biopsy /PSA are done.. u can directly also go in for a ultrasound,.. dont think too much about the per rectal examination.. the doc who is doing it is not enjoying it and he does hundreds of per rectal examination per day... it wont be too painful for u.. but if u want to avoid u can go for USG KUB
