Thousands of dollars sounds like the cost of an Osim chair.

A tip: For backache the cost of health may be a packet of Japanese $3
Salonpas from the Seven-11 store, Watsons, or similar.

Then the treatment of backache may not run into thousands.

But water is another matter, because it can also affect infants, the
whole family. Thus the need to chlorinate water, and the need to boil
it. For those who can afford better, various water purification
methods. The water bill is $30 per month. The running cost of home
water distillation is $15 per person per month. Consider it as an
investment in your health, for your internals. (Handle the equipment
with care, keep it away from your toddlers. It can burn.) For the
external skin, eat more citrus fruits, eat more papaya, take more
Vitamin C, and also see the skin specialist.

Ayahhhhhhh.......skin disease .???.consult me for free leh.......why
pay those hundreds to the Kwa families......

Firstly, one simply need to understand what sort of skin rashes you
were having mah...........take for example.....those rashes that comes
with yellowish pus or whitish pus...................yellow pus category
is considered as germ/bacteria derived type mah.......whereas, those
rashes with whitish pus indicate its from a virus derived sort
mah.........then come its treatment............treatment for yellowish
pus....either internal or external treatment need apply........for
whitish pus.......ayahhhhhhhhh.simple what/..just use a handful of
'freshly burnt ashes' and apply on the affected areas mah.......and if,
you feel that there is a 'biting sensation'.then, its taking effect
mah......you see...ashes is FOC what?.........you don't know meh how to
save money meh?



But, it is equally important to know the 'reasons' for the skin
problems.....often it is caused by "bad blood".....like people
who have diabetes may have 'skin boils' on some parts of the
bodies....this is caused by infected blood <?>

Minor skin rashes/itchiness may be caused by allergies, and bed
bugs.....whenever a problem persists, it is adviseable to find
out the cause and the reason.

Of course, as one gets older, the body immune system gets less
effective, so what was once a non-event, would likely become the
root cause of an ailment. Food that one normally take when one is
younger, such as sambal, vinegar, and spices will as one grows
older become unacceptable by the body, and may cause reactions to
the wind-pipe <coghing> and also skin rashes.

Yah lor.there are alot of chinese having coughing problem, not caused
by lung but from those PolyP, those unwanted growth sticked on wind
pipe's wall, irritating it and caused coughing..........
That is why, as I mentioned that to treat a body ailment one needs to
study the cause of it......cannot simply say that all coughing come
from malfunctioning lung.....

It is like that lah, what to do? You pay, but later realize it was due to
the tap water you drink from, then who is at fault? Just like in the army,
you serve NS, they strained your body, put you on vigorous training and etc.
When you become older, you got backache, here pain there pain, then whose
fault is it when you've to pay thousands of dollars of medical bills?

To see a doctor on a skin problem, it would probably cost $20
consultation at a polyclinic, then $80 at the specialist clinic, then
$40x4 for another four visits, and the medicine may be another $80.

Thus, the cost of health is $340.
