Someone said that their blood type was B and now it's O.
Answers:
The most interesting question of the day, so I had to do some research. While I thought it was impossible because of the antigens present in blood types, this article seems to indicate that it can be done. That sure will relieve blood supply issues.
UHH NO.
This is not possible. It is possible, however, that he was mis-typed or he misunderstood what he was told.
no your organs like your heart are only compatable with your certin like a only. but there is an exception people with blood type o can give blood to any one because its compatable with anything
anything is possibleO is supposed to be compatible with all the other types so I suppose it is possible.
if they changed their blood type they would be dead. It is not possible. He was probably just wrong
yes, you would have to do it illegley, or some sort of blood replace ment.
nope. ur body can't associate with any other blood group. for blood transfusion u have to look for the same blood type along with Rh factor %26 other stufs. O blood ttype person can b given if totally compatible. AB blood type person can accept almost any othar slighly varying blood types
It is impossible. A person's blood type is determined by genetics. Red blood cells are continously produced, so even though a blood type B person have a blood transfusion of type O, his own body still produce type B blood, so he is still type B.
Theoretically, for a person to change his blood type, he has to change the DNA in all the cells in his body, or at least in all his bone marrow (where blood cells are produced)
Well that someone lied to you.NO you can't change your blood and NO it's not possible..
Actually, it **IS** possible for your bloodtype to change if you have had a bone marrow transplant.Your blood type is determined by antigens on your blood cells, which are made by your bone marrow. People who have received bone marrow transplants as part of the treatment for certain types of leukemia can sometimes be given bone marrow that produces blood of a different bloodtype. It turns out that the new bone marrow must match you HLA type, but not your bloodtype.That said, bone marrow transplants are generally a last resort for treating leukemia. They are long, danerous (around 20% of patients die), and very unpleasant to go through.
By the information you have here it looks more like a clerical error. A person's blood type can change, there is only one possible way and that is by bone marrow transplant. This can be a real headache for a blood banker as the patients blood type changes trying to figure out what type to give if needed.

Is it possible to brainwash yourself, and if so can you undo it?
Answers:
Yes, you can tell yourself your whole life that you hate a specific food and naturally, you won't like it because you keep telling yourself that.I overcame that one. I told myself all my life that I didn't like chili or goulash. But one day my b/f's mother made a goulash and I didn't want to be rude or impolite and not eat the very food that she just made for us! So I told myself hey, I think I will like it because it has macaroni noodles and spaghetti sauce and cheese, what more could I ask for and why would I not like it? I tried it and I LOVED her recipe! So you basically have to tell yourself the opposite and tell yourself that you're not afraid of certain things or whatever the case may be, you can get yourself to believe anything that you want to.
YES, YES A GOOD EXAMPLE IS A SPIDER PHOBIA WHICH CAN BE FIXED THROUGH BEHAVOUR MODIFICATION THERAPY
more usual is to let yourself be brainwashed ,like what happens with a lot of religions.
to undo is always hard work .and means thinking alot.
Yes. An example is like when someone comes up with a good lie or something like that and they tell it so much that they actually start to believe it. I've seen it happen.
Is it possible to beat lung cancer?
Answers:
It is possible to beat lung Cancer but it depends on:
1. type of lung cancer - Small cell, Large cell, Adenocarcinoma, Mixed type (smallcell type is the most fatal and aggressive while adeno Ca has the best prognosis)
2. Cancer stage
3. Age
4. Co Morbid diseases (eg. heart disease)But it is wiser to consult your doctor for prognostication and early treatment
Ask God!
If it is possible, radical change of diet would help greatlyAlso. eastern medicine is very different from western medicine, it's quite the opposite of our insanity
so..
look in to that(it would have prevented it 99% sure, but can likely reverse it)
my grandmother had half a lung removed and lived for a long time. good luck
Anything's possible if you don't give up hope!
Not sure but lots of people say that eat more Verge and fruits to beat the cancer .fresh carrots are best
yes
You would have to be a very strong person in spirit, I bet.
Yes, absolutely, there are people who are lung cancer survivors. It is a bad deal for sure, and the treatment is rough, but medicine is making great strides every day. You have got to have a positive attitude and be a fighter, and be proactive in your own case, getting all the info from the doctors, and staying on top of every development. And of course, faith in God, that is crucial, because without Him, we can do nothing.
Lung cancer is one of the bad ones (okay, there aren't any good cancers, but you know what I mean). However, *some* people do survive lung cancer. Most who do find it early enough that surgery is possible. Even without surgery, patients can often live quite a bit longer with chemotherapy.I hope you are only asking a theoretical question, but if you or someone you love is a lung cancer victim, my thoughts are with you at a difficult time.
Major clinical trials are underway to develop better lung cancer treatments. A variety of new chemotherapy drugs have become available, and chemotherapy is proving more effective in treating lung cancer and improving the quality of life for patients diagnosed with lung cancer.Early detection and treatment are critical factors in the fight against lung cancer. The average survival rate is 49 percent or those whose cancer is detected early, before it spreads from the lung. Unfortunately, only about 15 percent of lung cancers are found in the earliest stage.The overall cure rate for lung cancer has doubled over the last 30 years. The one-year survival rate for lung cancer increased from 34 percent in 1975 to 42 percent. The five-year survival rate for all stages is only 15 percent. However, the survival rate is 49 percent when the disease is still localized.Some of the most promising research findings related to lung cancer include:Specific oncogenes (abnormal genes associated with tumors) have been found in some lung cancer cells. It is hoped that an oncogene test may soon be invented that will assist in planning lung cancer treatment. Ultimately, researchers hope to develop drugs that "turn off" oncogenes, ending cancer growth.New studies have provided evidence of tumor markers within an individual's genetic makeup that are related to a person's risk for developing lung cancer. This finding may help in screening people who are at increased risk of lung cancer.Use of monoclonal antibodies that recognize only lung cancer cells. These antibodies attach themselves to cancer cells, causing the cancer to be destroyed. An example is C-225 Erbitux庐 (cetuximab). The use of anti-EGFR (anti-epidermal growth factor receptor) drugs such as Tarceva庐 (erlotinib) have been approved by the FDA and are under study.Another way could be stimulation of the immune system by using naturally occurring substances such as interferon and interlukin-2. These substances have shown some promise in treating other forms of cancer and may be helpful in treating lung cancer. This year an estimated 172,500 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed and an estimated 163,500 people will die from lung cancer in the United States.Presently the best weapon against lung cancer is to avoid smoking. Eighty-seven percent of all lung cancer cases in the United States are smoking-related. Men who smoke increase their risk of dying from lung cancer by more than 22 times and women by nearly 12 times. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths.
Yes, if you get early. My mother had it, thank god they caught it early. She's doing fine now. *knock on wood*
Try Homeopathy or Ayurveda, you will find solution.
Why are you asking this question, If you really looking for alternative medicine I can give guidance.
only if you are really serious
Is it possible to be phobic about spiders, but not about scorpions & other arachnids?
if so, would you still be arachnophibic?
Answers:
yes
Yes.
I suppose so. I used to be arachnophobic but through behavioral conditioning I am not any more. I can now have a spider crawl on my arm. I would, however, steer clear of poisonous spiders and scorpions. I do not think that is phobic. That is just good sense.
yes very much possible, its just the human psyche which make one phobic, one way to get ride of such phobia is to face the thing as much as u can, Good luck.
Answers:
yes
Yes.

is it possible to be entirely exsanguinated?
or would there always be a few blood cells left in your body?
Answers:
I would think it would be just about impossible even if you ran water through the veins there should still be a few blood cells
It could probably be done if a group of specialsts got together to do it, but you would be quite dead, and so there would be ethical issues.

Is it possible to be allergic to water?
Just wondering..
Answers:
No, but something in the water. Perhaps a contaminant or a pollen in the water. If you were truly allergic to hydrogen and oxygen you would just not be able to exist. It must be a contaminent. Your body is made of water.
Hey I guess if that's a good excuse for a cat.. yeah sure it's possible.
no, maybe the crap that might be in it.
No.The end.
wow i really dont know.. hmmmmm lol now im gonna wonder bout that for a while.
yes if you are an alien
I would not discount that possibility, but how can such a person stay alive?
absolutely not. your body is 98% water
Not the water itself but you could be allergic to something in the water---get it analysed.
could be.not the water.but the chemicals or bacteria in it. that is why you get the runs sometimes when you visit other countries..and they tell you.dont drink the water.drink bottled water instead.stick with a good company.off the wall companies in other countries..well.. may give you the trots too..
hi,..There is a condition called aquagenic urticaria in which a person develops wheals or hives after being exposed to water of any temperature. There is also a heat induced urticaria in which environmental exposure to anything that results in sweating causes hives to develop. In this case exposure to warm or hot water that made someone begin sweating would produce urticaria. It would look like the water was the culprit but really it鈥檚 the sweating that results from the exposure to warm water that is the true cause.
Possible, if you are an asthma patient and take cold water..
the obvious answer would be of course not.i guess it might be possible for a zygote to be allergic to water, but then it would never be born and we would never find out that it was allergic to water. ok, maybe thats a stretch, but its the closest thing to someone being allergic to water that i can think of.
Your body is about 3/4 water, so you'd be in a HEAPPA trouble.
Yes. Lots of micro-organisms in water. Also minerals. All can cause sensitive people to react.
yes it is possible to be allergic to anything. What happens is your body believes that a certain substance is foreign and harmful to you body, thus it starts creating antibodies or responds like you have and infection.
menew, that's dumb. It is not possible to be allergic to H2O, since your body is 75% water. the body would attack itself. the original poster is probably allergic to something in the water.
I think u must be having a diseases. :S///
Or .there must be hydrophobia .. or . :S u have been bitten by a mad dog!
It is medically impossilbe to be allergic to water, you are made up of it. The only thing that you can be allergic to is any contaminants in the water such as heavy metals or cemical additives.
there must be something in your drinking water that could precipitate an allergic reaction. skin can also simulate allergies with an unfavorable water temperature. I don't think anyone could be allergic to pure water. H and O has always been in the air that they breathe in since birth. The unfavorable chemicals or minerals could be from the water pipes etc.

Is it possible to alter your voice??
I have a deep voice which is keeping certain opportunities from me. These aren't important but i wondered if there was a way to raise the pitch of the voice in a permanent way that doesn't require a vocal coach and the consant using of just a different voice that could slip and reveal my original one. Any help would be greatly apprecated. Thanks
Answers:
Yes, you can alter your voice. I fail to see how a deep speaking voice would be a hindrance. Poor grammar, slang, and a failure to enunciate your words would be a greater turn off for an employer, than a deep voice.
Women with deep voices can sound very cool.
Impersonators can sound like anyone. I suppose you could too, with a little practice. Get a tape recorder and go at it!It would probably be best to imitate specific voices that you can get recordings of, like news broadcasters, etc.
It is possible to lower one's voice permanently, but not to raise it.Just be yourself.
Surgery. Suck up helium. Sorry that I can't help you realistically.
