Anyone gone through this and can put my mind at rest?

Q: I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and could not be happier about it.When I first got pregnant I was asked of any past medical issues which I had no problem admitting I had depression.During my depression I never ever hurt myself or anybody else.I was put on antidepressants and sent to speak to somebody a couple of times a month.I was told I would need to see a consultant in the beginning of my pregnancy due to this.At about 12 weeks I saw my consultant who advised she did not feel this would affect my pregnancy and would not need to see me again.I have had a very difficult pregnancy and from about 15 weeks have been to the hospital every week with reacurrant uti infections.Last week I was finally transferred for a Kidney scan and confirmed to have a stone on my right hand side confirming why I have had the issues.The day after the scan I called the hospital to try and find out of this would hurt my baby or if any medication/precautions etc would need to be made.After 4 attempts I gave up.By the next day I was extremly worried and upset and ended up going to my gp for advice.My gp sat back in his chair and said I can give you as much sympaphy as you like but at the end of the day you are having a difficult pregnancy.This upset me even more and I started getting a pain in my tummy I rang the hospital very very upset and was told to go in straight away.I was pleased to be told that the Kidney stone would not harm the baby but no course of action could be taken until the baby was born.I was then asked questions such as have I been self harming,have I had thoughts of self harming and If I did I needed to contact somebody asap.This shocked me and upset me as I have never done that and never would!!!!!after thinking about it I took my notes to my GP and said how concerned I was that I had been asked these questions.She said that this was a screening process and they had to ask these questions.She then also said I saw you came in with a low mood a few days ago to see anthoer gp I explained I was only in a low mood as I was conserned about my baby.It was also said that due to my kidney stone I had to iron tablets and have B12 injections.Now I am just so confused upset and worried that this isnt the end of the questions concerns etc and that I am maybe being treated diffrently due to having depression in the past.I do not have depression and feel it was unfair being asked those questions and it was put on my medical notes that I was in a low mood due to having one emotional day due to being confirmed with kidney stones and not being told the implacations of this.I would really like some advice and to hear from anybody that has gone through similar.I will be honest Im scared to death of loosing my little girl due to a illness I had serval years ago :(Please help

A: The raspberry tea and organic apple cider vinegar are highly nutritious and may do wonders for your peace of mind as well as help your baby.The kidney stone may pass if you try what my current employer’s daughter tried and it can’t harm you:In Herbs of the Earth by Mary Carse, she lists under stones and gravel in the urinary system pertaining to kidneys and the bladder, that these are rare where apple cider or vinegar are a staple of the diet. (I note that this reference does not state whether the vinegar needs to be apple cider vinegar, but the brands in the health food aisle are less processed.The woman I work for now, says her daughter passed a kidney stone (identified by a doctor) after taking apple cider vinegar. The Braggs brand found in the health food aisle suggests to take 2 teaspoons in water with honey 3 times daily and there is another organic brand called Spectrum.+++++++++++++++++++++++++In In Apple Cider Vinegar Health System by the Braggs 1985 or 34th printing, it states on p 21:A large number of kidney stones are of the type that can be dissolved with cider vinegar.Use cider vinegar freely on salads consisting of cabbage, carrots, celery, beet root, tomatoes, green onions, parsley, cucumbers. Eat prunes, raisins, apples, at the same meal with the cider vinegar on the salad.Mistoday

Are all chinese like this?

Q: I live and work in China and I am married to a Chinese. The people whom I work closely with on a daily basis are really great and I am generally happy to interact with them. The majority of people in the greater population, I can’t stand.Sorry to offend so many Chinese, however, from my experience, I feel that China is simply culturally inferior to most Western countries. Please don’t go hurling that “well nobody’s perfect” line of argument towards me. I didn’t say the West was perfect or even close to it, all I am saying is that Chinese culture is much more ‘less perfect’ than Western culture. Here is why:1. People are just crazy-selfish and have absolutely no sense of ‘the greater good’. They are only looking out for ‘me and mine’, the rest can go f*ck themselves. This attitude is most evident with the plethora of product-safety scandals that have rocked the country. The latest being melamine milk that’s killing babies and giving many of them kidney stones. In this instance it was 100% clear that these milk suppliers were *purposely* providing tainted milk so they could water it down and still pass the test for high protein levels. Pure evil, IMO.This is what drives the culture of corruption so evident here. For another example, just take a look at all the disproportionate number of schools that collapsed during the Sichuan earthquakes. This is because building inspectors accepted bribes from greedy contractors instead of doing their job. The result, your child is dead.2. Purposely vague, dodge responsability. Most Chinese I interact with who haven’t had a Western education or who are not my direct reports tend to dodge responsability. It is a task trying to get a straightforward clear answer from people. This is *not* a language issue as I am fairly fluent in Mandarin, and this also happens with people who are fairly fluent in English. People here just don’t want to be held accountable for their (in)actions.3. Blind adherence to authority. Absolutely no questioning or criticism of anyone higher in the authority chain. This is in line with their top-down, Oligarchical style of government. This also affects Chinese corporate culture and makes for very inefficient or just plain wrong internal management. People just don’t feel free to bring up points of conflict or challenge anyone higher up in the company. I just don’t see how China will ever be a leader in innovation if the culture remains this way. This is also how the Chinese family is run. What the eldermost male in the family says, goes, no ifs ands or buts. If you don’t like you, you will be excommunicated from the family. Everything if made a ‘Family Decision’, including who you marry and what job you do for the rest of your life. Some people say Chinese families are very strong, and they are, I envy their solidarity, however there is a huge down side to this unity.4. Absolute disregard for their environment and those around them. This is the reason for all the spitting, p*ssing and indeed sh*tting (I’ve actually witnessed this) whereever they want. It’s absolutely revolting and I can’t even comprehend how human beings, no matter how uneducated, can do this. I have seen people encourage their children to urinate on the floor right next to the table they are eating at instead of bringing them to the bathroom. I have seen someone in broad daylight on a busy street in front of a convenience store squat and take a dump. I mean, even domesticated animals know not to do this!Also the point about driving is true. Chinese, for some reason, all over the world, in their home country or not, drive like absolute maniacs. People have zero regard for basic traffic safety regulations or other people who are on the road. They also incessantly honk their horns at everything and often even at nothing. I am constantly being shocked by people honking their f*cking horns, it makes me crazy it does.5. Arrogance and naivety. People here are so brainwashed by the government and are shielded from a lot of the negative stories that would have been broadcast about domestic issues. The result is that people rarely critisize the government and have this fantastic idea that Chinese people are somehow fundamentally more morally-sound than foreigners. If a Chinese hears about a violent rape or murder or some such evil crime happening in the West, they will say “Oh yes, foreigners are this way.” and asked if Chinese do the same things say “No, Chinese wouldn’t do such a thing.” Also about political issues people just can’t accept reality. They all consider Taiwan a part of China, despite the fact that Beijing has not a shred of control over the island. Don’t even try to argue with them about it, they don’t value logic and reason as useful for arriving at the truth.Wow that was a lot, glad I finally got it off my chest… btw, I could make another list about American’s if you want (primarily those that live in the ‘red’ states). It’s not that I am

A: I am Chinese American and have lived in China for seven years. I do not feel offended in anyway, as I consider myself American. However, I have to agree with you. I hate living in China and dislike the people. I find them rude, ignorant, dirty, and have poor hygiene and respect for rules. The people are brainwashed- I cannot believe they still believe Mao is good. They tend to be narrow minded considering issues such as Tibet, Taiwan, and Japan. I absolutely agree with everything you say. I witnessed a boy urinating on the ground at an outdoor restaurant. Chinese people spit everywhere and don’t clean up after their dogs (or themselves). The bathrooms are disgusting, and even the bathrooms in nice restaurants tend to smell. There is no regard for traffic rules. I believe that even though China is becoming industrialized now, people will find it hard to respect China if the Chinese people continue to act this way.
