How can I enlarge my brests naturally?

Question 1
How can I enlarge my brests naturally?...  Please suggest some natural way to enlarge my breasts. I'm 27 and very shy and embarrased about this.

Answers
1)   birth control pills
get fat
thats it.... - Kendall Garald

2)   If there was a way to change your breast size,
plastic surgeons wouldn\t be making millions
of dollars a yr doing implants.

You can go to the gym, and build up you chest
muscles, you will actually be building the muscles
under the breast, plus helpingwhat you do have to
stand more up right. THink of how male body
builders have boobs. - always b natural

3)   The only thing i know is that when you are pregnant, your breast will grow bigger. not really sure why, ill check on further. - unknown

4)   You know.... To any half decent guys if you're hot, your hot. End of story. If you're game you should put a pic of your face on your profile pic and we can JUDGE YOU mwuhahahah!... No but seriously it's not all about breasts. Breasts are a fun and cushy thing to enjoy but they're not everything.... Natural ways to increase their size is through eating foods that will raise your oestrogen levels such as KFC. - Sean C

5)   You can try working out your chest area, your pectoral muscles will push your breast tissue out further, and make them more firm. There are many products on the market as well, but I can't guarantee results for any of them. - Brian

6)   you have got to 27 why worry about size ma-sarge will help and exercise im shore you look great believe in your self and don't worry about other people xx - angle

7)   The only way to enlarge your breasts naturally is to put on weight, enlarging yourself all over.

The unnatural way is surgery.

Why not just be glad you've got two healthy breasts and hope they stay that way? I always thought I would be more comfortable with smaller breasts - having large breasts isn't the fun it's cracked up to be.

Now I just wish I had two breasts, of any size. - lo_mcg

8)   you could try pregnancy - Nitram

9)   My wife uses LOVE 36 herbal cream bought on http://generic-meds-store.com
She uses it everyday in the evening by massaging gently her breasts. It WORKS great! I DO like to see her breasts growing day by day and they do look much firmer. - Mark.Teo

10)   Gain weight.

Get pregnant.

That said, there's no need to be embarrassed about having small breasts. Although some parts of the media would have you believe that only big ones will do, most men really don't care that much about breast size, and some of us even prefer smaller breasts. Take a look at porn - there's plenty of variety of breast size there, from the super-enormous to the AA-cup. Those porn stars with smaller breasts simply wouldn't get work if there wasn't demand for them - but there is, so they do. - tobyink

Question 2
Is natural childbrith 100% safe? (I mean no painstillers etc)?...  My boyfriend is horribly worried that something would happen to me or the baby during childbirth. Please give me alternitives through own experiences?

Answers
1)   my daughter in law had natural childbirth with the help of a midwife for her 1st born. the next child was born in a hospital, surrounded by doctors and nurses;liberally dosed with painkillers. - David

2)   natural is safe no worries at all ,the more you worry the worse things get ,so think happy ,xx - angle

3)   Not having painkillers has nothing to do with you or baby....it has to do with you and your tolerence for pain. I mean it won't affect the actual birth itself other than how YOU handle the pain and if it makes it harder on you. Also when you say natural do you mean NOT in a hospital? That's do-able too...but a bit more anxious times for everyone. I did it natural/medication free up until about an hour before birth and I had been in labor 12 hrs...so I did pretty good...by the 12th hour I was begging for something..lol they said it was kinda too late...so I did get something mild towards the end which helped for a brief time...but then it was back to nothing again and all was well. No easy task, going natural in a hospital or otherwise...and if your labor is going longer for some reason, don't hesitate to ask for something. I think for every mom it's peace of mind you are looking for...and what that means to you. good luck - katrina

4)   Natural childbirth?

You mean squatting in a field without medical facilities or trained staff? Well in the developing world maternal death rate runs at around 2,000 for every 100,000 births.

That gives you a 2% chance of dying while giving birth. If I was your bf I wouldn't like those odds either. - dave

5)   Nothing in life is 100% safe. No drugs are 100% safe either. A dose of painkillers for the mom can be 10-20x too much for baby. It takes some time for that to get that out of the baby's system, and that can affect binding and latching on for feeding, and so forth.

A lot of the things that happen in US-style labor can cause problems: laying in a bed, strapped to an ultrasound machine, IV diluting the normal hormones that cause proper contractions, keeping a woman from drinking water during the exertions of labor, etc. It's done differently in other developed countries, and outcomes are better for both babies and moms, and the caesarean rate is lower too..

A trained mother can safely give birth to a healthy baby without meds, as our bodies are designed to do exactly that. I did, attended by certified nurse midwives, though I kept my OB-GYN waiting in the wings. I saw him a couple of times for a total of maybe 10 mins during my whole 16+ hours of hard back labor. I didn't need him, the screaming woman next door did (she had a caesarean, gestational diabestes, tiny overweight mom and 10+lb baby-- I'd be screaming too).

I went thru a natural childbirth class and gave birth naturally, unmedicated, everything went fine. And that blew the minds of the labor & delivery nurses who had not seen this done before. I then got trained and certified, and taught it for a couple of years. I did this because I don't respond well to drugs, and after a couple of miscarriages and D&Cs, I knew the specific drugs and methods they used would not work on me. And I knew I needed to find something else.

But yes, I gave birth in a hospital, *just in case* something did go wrong. Everything went right, though.

There are hospitals that are more supportive, check out ones that are certified as "Baby-friendly" like the Kaiser Medical Center facilities in the west. Some communities have birthing centers. Careful on these as some are not much better than a full-service OB hospital. Some communities have certified nurse midwives. These are good alternatives to the usual hospital route.

Check out the Bradley Method, it is a good training for fathers. My husband still tears up when he talks about our kid's birth and catching her. Talk about bonded!
http://www.bradleybirth.com/

and this book "Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way" http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Childbirth-Bradley-Way-Revised/dp/0452276594
I've met the authors, they're from Hawaii. One of the docs in their book was my favortire OB-GYN until he moved out of state.

And be sure to check out breastfeeding support with a La Leche League chapter in your area: http://www.llli.org/
It's a great organization and the volunteer leaders are so helpful and supportive. - LS

6)   The painkillers make no difference to how safe childbirth is. And most potential issues are known ahead of time via scans, etc.

The fact is childbirth does have some risks, but most women and babies get through it with no ill effects.

Plenty of people want to tell you horror stories. I don't get that. So here is a positive one, my sister had two home water births with only a midwife, and was just fine. The first had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, but that was easily dealt with. She did of course have all the scans and consult with a doctor all the way leading up to the births.

The fact is that you can attend a birthing centre, even one set in a hospital, relax in more home-like surroundings, have a water birth if you like, and if attached to the hospital have the doctors a few minutes away in case there are problems.

And you don't have to do the "lie on your back with your feet in stirrups" thing either. It is much more convenient for the doctors, but childbirth has advanced a bit since then (or gone back to some effective methods), and you can explore lots of positions that are much more helpful for you. Birthing classes often explore your options.

There are some great books out there that really help with info and to make you feel less nervous. One of the best is "What to Expect when you're Expecting".

As for Dave's answer, ignore it. His modus operandi is fear-mongering. Just not helpful, really.

I hope everything goes really well for all of you. - Matt

7)   I had 4 without pain killers.
Millions of women do all the time.
Back in the 70's Lamaze classes were popular and taught breathing techniques to relax you and help focus. That worked very well for me.
Don't know if they still offer those.
For me, information was key to how I felt during labor. I am the type of person that wants to know everything that is going on so I know what I have to deal with.
The Lamaze classes were full of information as to how a birth would go. - ckngbbbls

8)   Most of the time, yes. Just make sure you have an experienced midwife with you. And if you're not in a hospital, then make sure you're a not a million miles away from one, just in case you need an intervention.

I'm told it does sting a bit though. - tobyink

Question 3
are depressants and antidepressants the same thing?...  do these have the same meaning?

Answers
1)   No, depressants make you depressed, antidepressants the opposite. - Lisa C

2)   No, depressants make you feel worse, antidepressants make you feel better (or at least they are supposed to!) - bohemian

3)   No there opposite. The first causes depression and the second helps relieve depression. - rick b

4)   No, depressants typically refer to central nervous system depressants (such as alcohol, barbiturates and benzodiazepines).

Anti-depressants affect brain chemistry in a way that reduces the symptoms of depression (examples include SSRIs and MAOIs) - Heisenberg

5)   the "anti" in antidepressant should have answered your question... - lol

6)   the clues in the name
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/depressants+
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/antidepressants

Not too hard to find the information really. - Nitram

7)   If you're the prescribing doctor this is how it works:
The patient complains about one, gets medication for the other.
When that produces either the wrong effect or too many side effects, then the one they were supposed to prescribe is added to the one that is already being taken, which in turn causes a reaction between the two medicines, which in turn causes them to prescribe yet another medicine for whatever the reaction is. Then when everything gets out of whack, you end up at the emergency room where they put you on some water IV whatsit and take you off all of your medicines and you start feeling better. You leave the emergency room with yet another prescription for something totally different and the cycle starts all over again. - wowwee

Question 4
How do figure out what food intolerneces & allergies I have & then what do I do to eat well without wheat, sug?...  sugar, corn, dairy?

I have just suffered eating things that I know are not good for me but I didn't want to be hungry or sick without them.

I will have a yogurt at night that is low carb to keep my sugar balanced at night. This has helped me sleep better & I am so relaxed. So I wouldn't want to give up dairy.

Often a slice of cheese gives me the proteing snack I need. So how do I do without cheese. It seems I am allergic or intolerant to everything. Help! I guess I am just overwhelmed.

I notice people who eat these really healthy diets are often dull. So does the vibrancy leave when one lets so many foods leave.

Are there any famous diet gurus that are vibrant & eat a great diet or anyone that has a book about these? If you have done this please let me know how & about your results. Thanks.

Then food prep & being able to get the food might be another issue. I live in a very conservative area where we don't even have a health food store except GNC & they really only have stuff to make one look good, Diet stuff to slim down or bulk up.

Answers
1)   All this is in your head, I hope you realize that. Eat properly and don't fad-eat. Get your 5+-a-day that the doctors keep carping on about and you don't need to worry.

No you are not intolerant to all this stuff, it's made up nonsense. - Nitram

2)   A diet consisting of all whole foods is a great start. This means only eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, legumes, and meat. Colorful foods such as carrots, blueberries, spinach, tomatoes, apples, and kale will certainly increase your vitality. As far as determining your food allergies/sensitivities, you can do an elimination diet. Start with eliminating one food type (i.e. dairy) for 2 weeks and see how you feel. Good luck! - Optimist

3)   Allergies are a soft target for the quacks.

Many people claim they have allergies or intolerance's to certain foods, but actually don't. Now in alt.med land they like to brand people as having various food intolerance's based on very vague symptoms.

Unless you are diabetic, you don't have to worry about balancing your sugar. Your body does this.We pretty much evolved to eat when we could and what we could in any combination.

If you suspect you have an allergy to certain foods then your GP can test this. Otherwise, forget about it and eat what you want. It's sensible to avoid stimulants before bedtime.

"I notice people who eat these really healthy diets are often dull."
lol, yeah. Well not really, they just spend so much time obsessing about foods that they don't really enjoy life that much. - Rhianna does Medicine Year 1

4)   Food allergy is an immune response while food intolerance is a chemical reaction. Food allergies show up on blood tests; food intolerances do not. Nuts, eggs, milk or soy cause about 90% of food allergies.

How to diagnose a food allergy or intolerance...

Keeping a food and symptoms diary to check for patterns.
Removing all suspect foods for two weeks, then reintroducing them one at a time to test for reactions (except in cases of anaphylaxis). This must only be done under medical supervision.
Skin prick tests using food extracts.
Blood (RAST) tests.

Sometimes the body can tolerate the food if it is avoided for a time, then reintroduced in small doses, particularly with food intolerances.

http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Food_allergy_and_intolerance - ƦєdAиgєℓ

5)   There is no reason to go without cheese and yogurt unless you have a very bad reaction to them. You seems to enjoy them and you do not mention anything negative from eating them. Many people who have a sensitivity to milk can still eat yogurt and cheese because the processes the milk goes through to become cheese or yogurt. If you are not having any symptoms after eating them then please continue to enjoy them.
The same thing applies to eating wheat....if you have a problem with it then do not eat it or reduce the amount of it that you do eat. If you do not feel any symptoms after eating you are fine to eat it.
If you would like to eat a healthier diet try to cut out the majority of processed foods and eat a variety of whole, unprocessed foods. If you can find and afford organic produce and meats great, but if not just make sure you wash produce to eliminate as many of the chemicals as possible before consuming. You should always try to eat a wide variety of foods in a healthy diet so there is nothing dull about it. Work with what is available to you and make sure to hit any local farmers markets. The food there may not be officially organic but many times it is organic and locally grown. The person who grew it is usually standing right there so you can ask. Good luck and don't let this stress you out. - Jennifer O

6)   I agree with the others that this is probably in your mind. Genuine lactose intolerance, wheat allergies, coeliac disease, etc are pretty rare. It seems like it's fashionable in some circles to claim food allergies, but really they're not especially common. People just make them up.

But if you really feel the need to discover any food allergies, then cut out everything from your diet except rice, salt and water - live on nothing but those for a few days (it's practically unheard of to be allergic to those, which is why they're used for the baseline). Then slowly start introducing other classes of food until you experience an allergic reaction. You'd normally progress like this: vegetables; meats; fruits; berries; beans and pulses; wheat products; dairy products; other grains; nuts... leaving about 3 or 4 days between each introduction.

For what it's worth, lactose intolerance is often temporary. People can become intolerant after a nasty virus wipes out their gut flora. In a few years your flora are restored, and you can digest lactose again. - tobyink

Answers
1)   The best way to pass a urine test is by not doing drugs or any other illegal substances. - Optimus Prime

2)   First off, don't smoke it ever again. But go to a health food store and get some charcoal pills. They might be able to absorb it. - catalyst

3)   Detoxification pills, watter pills, cranberry juice, green tea, and lots and lots of water, and time. This process usually takes 3 weeks to a month depending on how much you smoked but not to worry all the items ive listed above will help the process move along faster. - Cpt. Kush

4)   What you need.
Vinegar, turkey baster and a clean urine sample. - Johnny Dough

5)   You have plenty of time to pass without risking your job.
The first thing to do is stop trying to quit and quit!
Now you need to eat a diet of high fiber foods. This will help clear up and make your digestive system stronger. A healthy diet will help the liver clean up your system.
Last you need to walk fast for 30 minutes everyday if you are not getting any exercise now.
Drink one gallon of water per day with a pinch of salt and a splash of lemon juice in it. This keeps the entire body well hydrated and functioning properly.
Your body will "detox" itself if you will help the liver and kidneys by not eating lots of food and beverages loaded with sugar, salt, and chemicals.

Or you can go to a head shop and risk trying to sneak in a clean sample.

Your choice. It is always your choice.

Question 4
Is there any cure in homeopathy for low testostorene?...  if a person is suffering from low testos can it be cured with the help of homeopathic medicine and in how much time.

Answers
1)   Homeopathic treatment triggers your body to heal itself, so it will correct the cause of the low testosterone levels and balance them. The time it takes to resolve a health issue can't be predetermined because each person is an individual and responds differently. Someone who is elderly, who has extensive iatrogenic (drug caused) disease, and is in poor physical condition will respond much more slowly to treatment. - thenoseknows

2)   There's no scientific evidence that homeopathy does anything, much less cure low testosterone. - Goo Z

3)   Testosterone is made from cholesterol as it's base and requires precursors also made from cholesterol to produce it. Many times the problem is that the precursors are prioritized by the body to make other hormones and this reduces the availability to make it. Additionally, as we age some of the testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone that is a negative hormone causing male pattern baldness, etc.

Eating high carb diets, low fat, low salt, and no red meat can cause high cortisol production and blood sugar issues that the body has to deal with due to a perceived stress. A focus on becoming healthy by eliminating toxins and an improved diet will go a long way to getting that testosterone up. Exercise can also be very helpful. Improving your digestion and increasing your metabolism by removing ALL SOY products from your diet and eating lots of coconut oil, etc. will go a long way to improving your situation.

good luck to you - onlymatch4u

4)   Figs. Eat a fig or two each day. Some of the foods we eat in the vegetable realm are designed to help a particular part of the body. Carrots for the eyes, kidney beans for the kidneys, beets for the blood, and figs for the testes. There are others as well but I can't think of them at the moment.

Have you tried a search for homeopathy and low testosterone levels? Or you can search for homeopathic remedies, or natural remedies, etc...

Good luck. - Paul L

Is tramadol a narcotic? ?...  

Answers
1)   Some say no, but they say it's similar.I can tell you for a fact that it is.I was addicted to it, along with another prescription drug for years, and I mean severely addicted.It was hell coming off of, I almost died from the unspeakable, horrific with drawl from tramadol.It is definitely a narcotic. - bbtalk

2)   I agree with the previous answer. Most people say its "narcotic-like" which doesn't make sense because imagine having a drink that gets you drunk and they call it "alcohol-like." Either it is or it isn't. The true meaning of the word narcotic is very rarely used properly. Cocaine isn't a narcotic. A narcotic in it's true meaning is something that causes drowsiness and other such effects. The FDA and DEA abuse the word narcotic as a blanket statement for all sorts of drugs. But back to Tramadol, it is an opioid or synthetic opiate. But according to the current laws that are put in place, Tramadol is non-narcotic. - Deep Thinker

To the individual who posted the derogatory comment about "stupid gene". Why do you care so much about what other people do? You have picked up the banner of trying to save people from themselves and protecting the public. Here is some insight for you. You are doing nothing. People have and will continue to do what they want to do. Its no different in healthcare or in any other area of life. People know its bad to drink and smoke but its still done. Your childish attempts to dissuade people from doing what they want to do are a joke and your efforts are in vain. Your reply is totally out of context of the question. You have made no attempt to answer the question. Why do you care so much about the choices that other people make. Dont say that you are protecting them from being ripped off or scammed. Like I said, people do what they want. You are not helping anybody except maybe your selfish ego. - Marc

2)   I had receding gums and my dentist never said anything about not using Listerine. But he did say don't brush you teeth so hard and long. Those electric toothbrushes that signal after 2 minutes are great, that way you know when to stop. Floss should keep your gums in good shape as well.

Soda is bad for enamel, but fine for gums. But soda is bad for you in so many other ways, so don't start again :) - Alex

3)   take regular lemon and amla......rich source of vitamin c - amit

4)   You're already on the right track. Make sure your toothbrush is a soft one. And drink plenty of water. Use a toothpaste that includes SLS (or any other laurel sulphate) - most of them do. While I am against SLS normally, it's ability to permeate the gums and stimulate blood flow is actually a plus for receding gums. - Theresa

5)   Acupressure techniques & natural remedies + oil pulling may help U to get rid of receding gums.

OIL PULLING:

Utility--- removes toxins from the body, more so from the mouth, gums, teeth, stomach, cervix, uterus, lungs, heart, liver, intestines, ears, brain, etc., etc.
. However, U may use sun flower oil, ground nut oil or til oil, rice bran oil, mustard oil, etc.Procedure: Every morning, in an empty stomach, take 2 tsp of cooking oil.
[saturated fatty acids and oils should not be used, like, Dalda/Vanaspati, coconut oil or ghee] and put it in Ur mouth and rinse it for 10 minutes; until it becomes white liquid. Spit it out and then rinse with luke warm water and then brush Ur teeth - Dr.dhananjaya Bhupathi

Answers
1)   Just rest go to sleep. It's best. Wait until your parents get home and then tell them. If you do start to throw up keep a log and put down what time you threw up and it's consistency(if it was clear/thin/chunky) sorry if that is a bit too much information. Also write down what you ate/drank and the time(approximate). And record your temperature.
Since you feel nauseous stuck to crackers and water and see if that stays down.
I hope for the best and I hope you feel better. It's no fun getting sick. - Christina

1)   hold your breath for 5-10 minutes - Kevin

2)   Tazo and Yogi brands have lots of sleepytime teas.
Also, Paul Collier's music on youtube has literally helped millions, including myself.
I HIGHLY reccommend it. - Rarity Iorune

3)   Oh, I'm sorry to hear that,but do you sure all the traditional chinese medicine doesn't work? I bet you didn't try these methods.
1. Acupressure for sleep enhancement
2.Herbal tea
3.Sleep massage which you'll get the effects instantly.Body massage can be done in warm room and aromatherapy oils can be used that will help to relax. If you have massage in daytime, you will get a good nighttime sleep.

You can also choose the oil like lavender which has relaxing properties. You can also use self massage like relaxing warm bath, followed by soothing massage of your body and face will leave you relaxed and calm.

Allow your body to cool down before going to sleep and try to incorporate light stretching and slow breathing before going to sleep.

4)   ok if your mother hasnt slept for 3 days then she needs to go to the hospital and stop with this alternative medicine bullshit. - Patrick M

5)   To get sleep you need tryptophan. Unfortunately this is not produced in the body. So our source
is food. Turkey has a good amount of tryptophan but you cannot eat it daily. Besides why kill a
bird for your sleep. So the next best option is, in the evening let your mother take whole wheat
brown bread slices. Smear it with peanut butter. Fill the slices with properly washed and cleaned
tomatoes and cucumber with their skin on. Wash down these sandwitches with grass fed cows
milk, sweetened with organic honey. If she does not like milk, she can skip it. This whole sandwitch
is rich in tryptophan which is converted into melatonin in the brain thus producing sound sleep.
By the time it is ten p.m. assuming she had these sandwitches at 6.p.m. she should be in
snooze-land. Keep up with this regime for atleast one month. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o) - Sudhakar B

6)   Hasn't slept for three days? I think your mom should see a doctor - sounds like there is more to this picture than meets the eye.

Question 2
Genetically modified food...pros and cons? your opinion about it?...  is it dangerous to the human health and the environment?

Answers
1)   I just took a load in the toilet and you need to get some bleach action on it baby. - Cooltranier13px

2)   yes. like medicine, it's all about population control and profit at the expense of health. - Mr E

3)   genetic modification to foods have allowed third world countries to get food when they regularly couldnt.

genetic modifications have allowed foods to be pest free without the need for harmful pesticides

it has allowed food to have a longer shelf life, it has allowed foods to have more nutrients

there have been no studies that have found any harm with genetically modified foods.

whoever said it was about keeping people sick for population control is a liar and irresponsible. - Patrick M

4)   Isn't it nice to live in a wealthy country with an overweight population, where you have the luxury of even comptemplating such a question?

Actually humans have been genetically modifying foods since we invented agriculture. Now days we are clever enough to do it in a lab, and this is allowing us to create drought, pest and virus resistant foods and could theoretically allow us to produce enough food to feed Third World countries although some infrastructure obstacles remained.

Its a matter of risk versus benefit, and the risks are very low while the benefits are very high.

"Dr Carter said there was no evidence to justify continuing moratoriums on commercial GM planting so long as thorough risk assessments were done.

Opponents say GM products are unnatural, potentially harmful to humans and capable of environmental injury and creating 'superweeds'.

She said the risks of GM plants transferring allergenic proteins to novel foods or creating superweeds were very low.

"If you take a GM plant and a conventional plant, you can't easily create a hybrid that is both strong enough to withstand natural environmental conditions as well as survive all eradication attempts unless you're in the lab," Dr Carter said.

"It's just too difficult."

Asked if it was too early to tell if GM plants were safe, Dr Carter said research that included risk assessments showed no reason for alarm."
http://www.sciencealert.com.au/news/20082501-16821-2.html - Gary Y

5)   Pro:
Increases yields
Cuts down pesticide use
Can provide more nutrients

Basically they offer the hope of feeding a growing population.

Cons:
The business practices of the company that produces most of them are, for lack of a better term, evil

Most of the cons are fictional, often based on incomplete evidence.
For example, when round-up resistant weeds started appearing, people claimed the resistant gene spread. In reality, spraying large amounts of a single herbicide cause the weeds to evolve. - Weise Ente

6)   I'm against them. They don't have a long term safety record, the majority of "the record" is paid for by the company that produces most of them - and that company has a long-term, well-defined history of absolutely unethical behavior. The science coming from other sources would indicate there is reason to be concerned.

We don't know the long term effects of these things in the environments that we plant them in, and the farmers and indigenous peoples would give us reason to believe that we should be concerned as well - the Navajo Nation and the Natives of Chiapas and Columbia for example. GMO's do not create stable local economies for the farmers who plant them, they create dependence on outside corporations and deprive peoples of food sovereignty. A number of countries have told Monsanto to get the hell out for these reasons: Bolivia, and Venezuela being the latest.

Folks might say "oh, but the science says"......yeah, whatever.
I'm not impressed with the hype. I used to spin data as well. - Tink

Why do doctors say there's no cure for IBS?...  also do I have IBS I get bloated and gas everytime after I eat I have diareah and nausea every morning and it doesn't matter what I eat it'll also get me bloated and gas. I've tied an antibacteria and it didn't help

Answers
1)   They say it because there is no cure. Pretty easy. - John M

2)   truth is, that statement applies to most everything, it's just that sometimes it's so obvious they actually admit it. see an hio method upper cervical specific chiropractor. - Mr E

3)   Because there's no cure for IBS.

(And no, having some homopathic osteoquack fiddle with your cervix won't change this.) - Psychobenzaprine

4)   Are you positive it's IBS? IBS is a diagnoses when the Dr can't find another problem. It's a very general diagnoses.

My daughter was diagnosed with IBS when she was about 12. She'd get stomach cramps, bloating and diarrhea. Didn't matter what she ate. She could have Caesar salad one day and be fine. The next day she'd have Caesar salad and it would go through her in 15 minutes. She knew where every bathroom in town was. She was tested for allergies, celiac and lactose intolerance.

About a year ago she went to see the Internist for another problem. When he found out about her IBS, he said he wanted to try her on a drug called Colestid. He thought maybe her liver produced too much bile. The problem usually occurs in people that have had their gallbladder removed. However, my daughter still has her gallbladder, and he did say not everyone is missing their gallbladder.

She has a drink of juice every morning with the medication mixed in. The first day, no diarrhea. In fact in 1 year she hasn't had the runs once, except when she's missed taking the medication.

My daughter suffered with this for 17 years, because the Dr's said she had IBS. Which she clearly did not. - mstess

Answers
1)   yes, I am buy brownies laced with *8mg" of melatonin, even if children are hospitalized? - Zillur Rahman

2)   8 mg of Melatonin is not a high enough dose to warrant hospitalization of a child, its just parents over reacting, keep your lazy cakes out of reach of children, you don't want your child eating a whole box of chocolaty ex-lax either, but they would if they got hold of it. That's why you keep such things out of their reach. - Christopher J

3)   If you feel a cold coming on, aconite. Once you've got it, gelsemium. Don't expect instant relief (that's not what homoeopathy is all about) but you should recover more quickly. - old know all

4)   Depends on your age.

I normally go with orange juice and Cointreau, you feel better almost immediately and after a couple, you don't care anyway. Besides which, it's actually got something in it other than water. If you're too young to drink the Cointreau, then just orange juice tastes nice, or have a cup of tea. It's the sitting down and not doing much that makes you feel better, anyway, and the caffeine in the tea.

Of course you could get a glass of tap water, it will have an excellent flavour of nothing in it, just like a real homeopathetic remedy. If water has a memory, my tap water remembers being piddled out of a sheep on the moors above Derwent reservoir. Who knows what esoteric memories your water has!

3)   i woke up one day about 3 years ago, and my ear was bleeding w/ puss.
i suffered with that torture for 2yrs while draining blood and puss regularly. after 2 years i used an OTC ear wax removal kit and my ears came closer to healing. i lost about 10 -30% hearing in one ear.

i dont know if i did it to myself
or if it was caused by missing teeth that were pulled
or work place saw dust contamination, because of ear-plugs and black liquor
or if someone actually conspired to cause me hearing damage while i slept - WitnessofJesus

4)   Hold your nose, and blow into your sinuses - like equalizing pressure when scuba diving. If you can't, put your finger in the OTHER ear, so too much pressure doesn't build there.

If that doesn't work, take your finger, lay it across the opening to the clogged ear, and push and lift - do a sort of toilet-plunger sort of thing.

And, I don't know if this is it, but if you've got swimmers ear, use a solution of 1/2 rubbing alcohol and 1/2 vinegar (don't use apple - it smells terrible after) and put it in for a FULL 60 seconds. The vinegar changes the acidity in your ear so bacteria can't grow and the alcohol dries out your ear canal. - thedavecorp

In simpler terms, anything that has been proven to work through rigorous scientific study is "medicine." Anything else is "alternative medicine." - angrydoc

This is a very comprehensive review regarding the history/development of medical theory. It's a very interesting subject that has very few experts, and none of them are the trolls who have posted nonsense on here.
Herbal medicine was the only form of medicine in existence for centuries starting with the ancient Greeks, notably Hippocrates. Homeopathic medicine was created by Samuel Hahnemann around 1810. There were various forms of Eclectic Medicine which is now encompassed by Naturopathy, Osteopathic Medicine, and Chiropractic.
Conventional medicine is considered to be Allopathic medicine -- it's main feature is the suppression of symptoms using toxic drugs. Most forms of complementary and alternative medicine support a system of Holistic medicine which treats the whole individual as being more than just the sum of its parts. - thenoseknows

if you werent planning on doing that and your talking about the smell on your body then it can last a while longer than that. it can last for hours. you'll know how long it will last by the smell of the weed before you smoke it. if it smells strong then it'll smell strong after you smoke it too, if it doesnt then the smell disapates more quickly.
use body spray, hand sanitizer, take a shower after, and change your clothes and the smell will be gone once your done doing all of that. oh but clean your nails really good because they hold in the smell alot.
have fun don't get caught ;) - CookieMonster

4)   It would be better if you let your room air out for at least 2 hours but as long as you keep the windows open and spray it with some air freshener every few hours you should be fine.

Question 4
My son is sick and idk whats wrong with him...help?...  My son is a yearold. He got sick today and has been throwing up all day every ten minutes and has runny diarreha. He is cold and pale. I took him to the hospital and they gave him meds to calm his stomach down. But he still is puking everything up like his juice. Idk whats wrong with him and I feel really bad that I cant help him...whats wrong with him and what should I do??

Answers
1)   Bring him to the emergency room! If not then bring him to the doctor not the hospital. - jobrofan239

2)   Go to a better doctor. - Nick H

3)   stomach flu? could be something wrong with his diet maybe he's lactose intolerant or something like that. try changing his diet taking out things that are common for people have allergic reactions to like milk, peanuts, other kind of nuts,citrus fruits, gluten. things like that you should get a more complete list from online keep feeding him liquids no matter what it is especially if he throws them up or is having diarrhea because babies can get dehydrated extremely easily and if that happens he will get a lot worse..
if this is still going on in a few days then you need to go back to the hospital and MAKE them do more than just give him stuff to settle his stomach. start a scean if you have to, to get them to listen to you. - CookieMonster

4)   He probably has a nasty virus, there's one going around in my area and my son whose 2 has been sick for a week! As long as the doctors didn't put any restrictions on what to give him, I'll give you my best advice! Complex carbs are the easiest to digest, pasta, rice, bread (toast), potatoes, things like that! Juice is a little hard on the belly, its all the sugar, even though its natural sugar! Vegetables are hard to digest so avoid those, but applesauce with no added sugar would be good. And keep him hydrated if you can! Milk isn't so great right now, he can go without it for a couple of days! Pedialyte, or gatorade, I use G2 and powerade zero because they have less sugar! Those will help keep there electrolytes up when they aren't feeling great! Even chicken noodle soup is good, its got the chicken broth for hydration, the noodles that are quick to digest, and for some reason salt does help settle your stomach! And sleep, lots of sleep! Try a warm bath and a massage after to help him fall asleep. I hope something I said can help you, I've been through alot of this in my son's two years! I really hope your little guy gets better soon!!! - Aunt Sam

Which tea is better for flushing out your system?

Question 1
Which tea is better for flushing out your system?...  I'm on a diet, but every Saturday (yesterday) is my "cheat day." I feel like I need to have something during breakfast that will flush out my system. I have loose leaf white tea and loose leaf green tea at home. I read that white tea promotes detoxification, and green tea aids digestion. Which one of those would work better to flush out my system?
I already drank a full glass of water..I wanted tea this morning as well (trying to switch from coffee to tea), so I was wondering which one would be better... I don't think the benefits of tea are "all hype."
So all the benefits of tea are just made up? :( I just bought all this tea lol...nooo...

Answers
1)   Neither will work. That is so much hype. There is nothing better than drinking a lot of water. - jason

2)   There is no such thing as detoxification, flushing out your system, etc. That's just pseudoscience used to sell products. There is some evidence to show that if you drink strong, fresh green tea like the Japanese do that it reduces the chances of having some types colon/stomach cancer--this is still far from proven though. So if you want to drink green tea, do it because you like it. Also unless you get the tea flown in from Japan (from http://www.o-cha.com/ for example), it's likely sat on the ship and in the store so long that it's too old anyway.

4)   1) they are both the same plant - white tea is younger than green tea.
2) No such thing as detox.
3) drink the one you enjoy more.

1 Cont - the benefits aren't "made up" however, what turns up in a lab, or statistical analysis and how that plays out in real life are often very different. - Tink

5)   Both white tea and green tea will help to detox your system and provide anti-oxidant protection. You need to also drink 8-10 glasses of pure water daily for optimum effect.

Question 2
Is this a side effect of my medcine?...  Ive recently started taking progesterone tablet, and i am supposed to take ten of them (1 a day). On day 4, i had a sudden dizzy spell where i started sweating uncontrollably, and i actually could not see. iall i saw was what you see when your eyes are closed after you rub them, and it lasted about 10 minutes. I couldnt stand on ,my own either, i had to grab a pole for support. If it helps, im a 14 year old girl and am taking the tablet for lady issues (if ya know what i mean)

Answers
1)   yes. its also affecting your spelling - The Keip

2)   Now pay attention!

YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOU DOCTOR, HE DOES NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ON YAHOO ANSWERS! - CommonSense

3)   The Mayo Clinic states that high levels of progesterone can produce a negative effect on the central nervous system. This results in symptoms such as depression, and mood swings seen in pregnant women. Since progesterone causes relaxation of smooth muscles, it can cause nasal congestion, because the nose is made up of smooth muscles.
The Mayo Clinic states that constipation is another adverse effect seen with high levels of progesterone. Since progesterone causes relaxation of smooth muscles, it can slow down food passage through the intestines, which are composed of smooth muscles. The decreased frequency of bowel contractions leads to a buildup of wastes.
In this same manner, progesterone affects blood vessels and can cause headaches. It causes relaxation of blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the brain, leading to severe headaches.
According to the Mayo Clinic, increased levels of progesterone is a major contributor to weakness and unusual fatigue experienced by pregnant women. Since progesterone acts as a depressant on the central nervous system, it can lead to excess fatigue.

This is obviously causing neurological symptoms and you should stop taking it immediately, and take the prescription with you to the emergency dept. of your local hospital.

Can you take medicine for ADD/ADHD on your own or does the dosage have to be prescribed by a doctor?...  

Answers
1)   You should only take what is prescribed for you. Taking ADHD drugs with the wrong dose or if you don't actually have ADHD may harm you. Just go get a prescription. - Jenny

2)   Any prescription drug has to be prescribed by a doctor. You also have to be tested in order for a reliable diagnosis to be made. This is hardly a doityourself deal. You can derive a much higher benefit and resolve the problem by seeing a professional Homeopath or Naturopath and forget about using drugs altogether. The toxic effects of drugs just aren't worth it. - thenoseknows

3)   Many people self-medicate (take medicine that is not intended for them) - but realistically, you should never practice medicine on yourself without a license - you need to go to the doctor to be diagnosed and prescribed medications. - Tink

4th month off weed? :):)?

Question 1
4th month off weed? :):)?...  So I have been four months clean after smoking weed for about a year. I would have at least 2 blunts a day back then. My only problem is now my thoughts aren't the same when I was smoking & off the drug. I have like weird that's sometimes that I would always push aside when I was clean like death & **** like that. What can I do to help get my happy thoughts back & start being the old worry free me?

Answers
1)   by smoking again:)

btw : FIRST lol - xboxboy17

2)   Weed depletes (takes away) nutrition and certain nutritional deficiencies can cause anxiety, stress, depression, etc... alot of emotional distress. Seriously, google it to see for yourself! If you're low in potassium, zinc, iron, copper, vitamin B12 and most of the other B-Vitamins, you can get depression-like symptoms! You might want to go to the doctor/nurse to get your nutrients for these nutrients in particular checked. they will take a blood test to see if you lack any of them. Make sure you're eating healthy (include red meat, calf liver, and spirulina in your diet) and take a multivitamin daily, to ensure proper nutrition.
PS: medication, drugs, coffee, and sicknesses deplete nutrition! - skittlesss

3)   I am glad you decided to stop weed. That is the right choice. I am an ex smoker myself and trust me, most the people I hung around and shared joints with all the time, haven't gone much further then where they used to be.

It's going to take about a year to get your mind clear. If you had two blunts a day you have trained your mind to think, that's what it needs to feel a sense of calmness. It takes a lot of time and patients to recover from using the drug to using your own spirit to bring a smile to your face every day. It took me 6-8months to start thinking different. Once you start thinking different, you will love it. You will in control again, knowing that you don't have to depend on the drug to feel happy or bring a sense of calmness to your day. You can do it on your own!

You will love and respect yourself more. You won't be a slave to the weed. You will see the world for what it is. Being sober is a beautiful life style and quitting weed after smoking it constantly for 2 years was one of thee best choices I will ever make in my entire life :)

Good luck.

Peace!!! - Dogo

4)   I think these answers are complete bullshit. I've been smoking for a year now, I don't have depression, anxiety or anything else they said. I see it as a harmless and fun drug. It only causes problems if you're completely dependent on it IE; spending all of you're money on it as soon as you get it, and need to smoke everyday or you feel like shit. For me, I usually maximize myself at $40 a week for weed, but I rarely spend that much on it anyway, usually $20(2 bowls a night). And can easily go without it if I need too. If I were you I would start smoking occasionally again, I mean, it's much better for you than alcohol could ever be, so why not instead of having a few drinks occasionally, have a blunt occasionally. Especially if it makes you happy, and if you don't want depression or demotivation smoke only Sativa strains instead of indicas. Indica is the kind that makes you tired, and want to do nothing. Sativas are the ones that motivate you and make you more crative. - Jesus Christ

5)   Never mind the folks implying you should go back to smoking - that's a bad idea.

I used to smoke a LOT, for close to a decade. It takes quite a while for your thoughts to get back to normal. In some cases, what will bother you are things that ARE normal. Being worried about death IS one of those things. It has bothered all humans since they realized they were mortal. Shoot, it is the very basis of philosophy (and religion)

Learn to wear life like a lose garment.
(In other words, don't take life (and yourself) so darned seriously!) - Tink

6)   Positive affirmations! Research and practice telling yourself happy thoughts. In no time you will have retrained your brain to think good thoughts.
Also, feel gratitude in your life. The law of attraction will bring you more and more good so long as you are feeling good and thinking good thoughts. Its simple and powerful.
Good Luck! - CM

7)   dont scare yourself.. the effects of weed wear off after about an hour, and it doesnt alter your mind and shit like that - Scratch My Back PLEASE

1)   Have you used any medicine related to Asthma if no then James South is recommendation to stay away from Asthma i read every feature of James South from http://goo.gl/pPwV9 - Jani Date

4)   You can buy cans of desiccant at any hardware store. Reducing the amount of moisture reduces the potential of mold. Not essential oils. You would have to paint the walls with them frequently, and that itself would be awful for someone with breathing trouble.... - Tink

Question 3
What is the best way to quit smoking?...  I'm 22 and have smoked ever since i was 18. I am a socially sensitive person (self-counscious, no self-confidence, easlily hurt, hate uncomfortable eyecontacts, always dont know what to say....you name it!) so i get really stressed out when i have to face all the people in school and smoking has always been my only way of relaxing. Like all smokers i know smoking is very bad for me, and like most smokers i have wanted to quit for a long time but havent been able to. More than my other smoking friends, tobacco has effected my health in a really obvious way already. I get constant heart aches, my voice is always dry, i get head aches, throat pains and lately i got bronchitis. Even though, i still cant quit. I have tried exercising but if i move too much i cant breathe. I feel like i really need thoses freaking ciggs to make it through each day. So what should i do? I cant quit or take a yr off from school it is really not an option. More confidence? Dont think that i havnt tried.

Answers
1)   Try special gum or tablets that are on the market to help. Write a list of all the things you want to do but cant do because of smoking. it might help too. Also one of my friends tried snuff... it apparently helped too. - Nina Fox

2)   when u die - C A

3)   Try to find something to replace the tobacco such as candies and dry fruits.I have a friend who used to be a smoker.He always bit the pen when he wanted to smoke.Even though many pens were broken.But he did it.He quited the smoking successfully.However, relaxing by the other ways,music and exercise will be good to you.Make up your mind that far away those friends who are smokers when you are quiting smoke.Most importantly,you should have determination to quiting.Think you parents who give you life. - Chucky Man

4)   My god, I began smoking since I was 16 and I've been trying to stop for quite some time too. The craving was too much, especially with drinking, I had tried a lot products & a few failed new year resolution. I'm just too happy that I'm finally weaned, great for me & better for my boys. All I needed to do was to ease myself out of smoking, I found these vapor cigs allow me to do precisely this. I made up my mind to lower my intake everyday. I've been completely weaned for 3 months now. You need to check these out here for info on how begin: www.fasteciginfofocus.tk

Hair test and thc, way to pass?...  I have a hair drug test in 5-7 days .Is there any way to pass this test?
I would like to hear from people who have tried before and I know that I shouldn't have even done it in the first place so you don't have to let me know that .
Thank you in advance

Answers
1)   THC stays in your hair follicles for months. If you've smoked marijuana recently, you're screwed. Even if you shave your head, there's hair all over your body that can be plucked and tested. - Mary Kontrarry

2)   Im not sure if this works, but one of my friends is a regular smoker and he said he soaked his hair in vinegar for a while and he passed it. They take hair from your pubes, armpit hair, and your head. Hair tests are probably one of the hardest ones to pass, as thc stays in your hair for years even after you stop smoking. It is stored in all of your fat as well as your hair follicles so theres always a trace of it on you. - Big Tony

3)   There are many do-it-yourself methods online, however there are also shampoos that lock the THC into the hair follicle. Keep in mind they may also test your urine and keep the hair only for redundancy in the case that there is a problem with your urine sample. Hair testing is not inexpensive... - passadrugtest.com

Answers

2)   I think they are complete bullshit, my friend had one and we did a test to see if it made you balance better and it made no difference whatsoever, I think it's a stupid scam for idiots to buy if they believe into that shit. But hey if I could start a company that sold 5 cent bracelets for $30 claiming they make you balance better I would do it. - Jesus Christ
