Dear Dr James,

I am a regular listener to your shows and I have a question.

Recently, in one of the health talk shows you spoke about drinking cold vs room temperature water.

It was interesting to hear the suggestion to drink room temperature water and at the same time read in other sources suggestion to drink cold water.

Here is what I read:

In one of last week’s digests I talked about a study which demonstrated that keeping your core temperature low is key to athletic performance in hot/humid conditions. I also talked about how the best way to keep your core temperature down is to cool your body “from the inside out”by drinking ice-cold water prior to and during training / racing. This study shows that there is an even better way: adding menthol to your ice-cold water seems to provide significant performance improvements for brick sessions in hot/humid conditions. Yes, part of the effect seems to be psychological, but even some physiological markers showed improvement. I’m going to give this a try!

Just letting you know for your consideration.. I guess people make their own joudgement and do what they believe in…

When can treatment be stopped. I do have ASO titre yearly and it's clear. Regards candy

Great show! For any sort of pain due to inflammation would advice cooking salt in Luke warm water and place it on the area where it pains few times every day. It works:-).

My wife has a very bad recurring episode of vaginal infection which dr's say its fungal which will remain for long. None of the anti biotics worked. Betadine wash nor skin specialists could ease it out. It gets irritating few days before mens cycle n she eases the irritation by using axe oil. How to helpher ?

skin Tags

This small flap of flesh-colored or slightly darker tissue hangs off your skin by a stalk. They're usually found on the neck, chest, back, armpits, under the breasts, or in the groin area. Skin tags appear most often on women and elderly people. They aren’t dangerous and usually don't cause pain unless they become irritated when clothing or nearby skin rubs against them. A doctor can cut, freeze, or burn them off.

9. liver spots be concerned?
