+1. One other thing I may add: children with cancer rely on all of us to be vaccinated. That may sound like tugging at heartstrings (and it is), but it's also true. Their cancer and their treatment often leave them with a suppressed immune system. This means vaccines aren't useful for them (they don't have the immune…

This concern is unfounded. The ethylmercury in vaccines is not toxic and has never been found to be harmful - never been found to cause autism, never been found to make children sick. Methylmercury is a toxic substance, but it is not and has never been used in vaccines.

It's research that's important to pay attention to, not this dude's opinion. Doctors are allowed to disagree with evidence-based medicine, but it doesn't make their opinion evidence-based.

just be sure to use filtered or distilled water to avoid (rare but deadly) fungal infections with a neti pot. You can use bottled water or boiled (then cooled) tap water.

yeah I agree. statistical power is where it's at.

This sounds more like Peripheral Vascular Disease - for which Diabetes is a risk factor. This would especially be true if you find that you get cramps in your legs when you walk a few blocks (or less). Definitely worth talking to your doctor about this.

For improvisation, this is good, but it's always important to point out that the right way is with a good cleaning and sterile equipment (like steri strips or suture) to prevent infection.

We all have to die. That, and taxes, or something...
