Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello There are still a lot of myths surrounding AIDS. One thing is certainly true: you cannot get AIDS by donat- ing blood. All materials used in the collection of blood are disposable. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently -reported that out of the current population of the whole world, 500 million people will die from diseases related to tobacco use. Some people have trouble -mellowing tablets or capsules even with lots of liquid. One good Idea Is to'try using soft foods like gelatin desserts, puddings and yogurt. These can help the medicine go down. March is National Kidney Month. Did you know that less than 1/2:at one kidney can do the work that two kidneys do together?
