I'm a bit worried about my husband's health. His vitamin B12 levels are at 185, and his vitamin D is 6.7. Plus, his homocysteine is pretty high at 56. The doctor has mentioned he should take Nurokind Plus for a long time. Is there anything else he should be doing or watching out for? Also, I've noticed his HDL cholesterol is low. Any advice on how we can improve that?

In addition to taking Nurokind Plus for his vitamin B12 deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and high homocysteine levels, your husband can also make some lifestyle changes to improve his HDL cholesterol levels. He should focus on incorporating more healthy fats into his diet, such as olive oil, avocados, and fatty fish like salmon. Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, can also help raise HDL levels. Additionally, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption can have a positive impact on HDL cholesterol.

I've been dealing with a high fever since yesterday, alongside a really bad headache, cold, cough, and weakness. I went to the pharmacy and picked up Cepodem 200, AcenextP, and MontewokLC. After taking them, I felt super cold and started shaking, but then I got warm and sweaty after sleeping, which made me feel better. It's been about 8 hours since I took them this morning, and now it seems like my fever might be coming back. Should I keep taking what I bought?

I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.
