Health - 13 July 2006

Well I have started to loose weight and I am extremely over weight and I was wondering if any one else here as lost an extreme amount of weight and if so and you have before and after pictures do you think you could send them? I am curious as to how a amale reacts to loosing weight oh yes and how much did you loose. I know woman who have lost a lot of weight but lets face it men and woman are completely different if a woman looses 20 pounds you notice if a male looses 20 pounds you don't normally notice. Now I'm not saying 20 pounds is a lot I'm saying like losing 100 or 200 pounds or something if you could send me the pictures it would be greatly appriciated and possibly help motivate me to loose weight in having a better idea on how I might look. My e-mail is bigmikeyb245@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Mike

I am a 20 Year old man.My problem is that i am having Gynecomastia(Breasts for men) for the last 6 years.But i only came to know about it last month that is a kind of disorder.Before that i lived in fear for the last 6 years.I thought that i am a chakka(half man and half woman).Now the problem is that because i lived in fear, i was not used to go out of my house and mix up with people.Secondly, because of that disoder my personality has changed.When i talk it does not make sense or niether people can understand what i say.There is misunderstanding between me and other people.My speech has also become horrible.I can't even pronouce the words both of my local language or English language like i used to do before 6 years.What should i do to make things better for me?

Is it possible that millions of people are ignorantly sacrificing their health in exchange for the convenience of microwave ovens? Why did the Soviet Union ban the use of microwave ovens in 1976? Who invented microwave ovens, and why? The answers to these questions may shock you into throwing your microwave oven in the trash.

Over 90% of American homes have microwave ovens used for meal preparation. Because microwave ovens are so convenient and energy efficient, as compared to conventional ovens, very few homes or restaurants are without them. In general, people believe that whatever a microwave oven does to foods cooked in it doesn't have any negative effect on either the food or them.

Of course, if microwave ovens were really harmful, our government would never allow them on the market, would they? Would they? Regardless of what has been "officially" released concerning microwave ovens, we have personally stopped using our

timely manner, responds to us at her own pace and when it is appropriate, must always be reminded how to complete her tasks, doesn't respect our wishes, doesn't seem to improve if we discipline her and more. This has been going for 4 years now. She responds to her mother better than her step father, but still her mother has problems dealing with her often. We are concern about her unhealthy eating habits and tired of her continuing this behavior as if we don't recognize it. She is talking to a counselor funded by the state, but we feel this isn't helping any.

Can anyone offer any advice as far as improving our situation. I was thinking of having her make a contract for us as far as what is expected of her and what priveleges can be taken away if she doesn't change her behavior or at least tries to make an effort to improve herself. As far as her unhealthy eating habits, we talked about locking the fridge and only allow her to have access to meals & snacks we prepare for her.

my son has a congenial heart defect. he is now 16 months old. well tonight while eating he passed out. or at least that's what it seemed like to me. first i shook him gently then i lightly tapped his cheeks and that woke him. then just a few minutes later i took him to change his diaper and he passed out or fell asleep again. i have woken him every hour just to be sure and when he stay up everything seems noraml now. do you think the i am over reacting or could this be a sign that his heart is giving him trouble?

also if anyone knows what the normal heart and pule rate is for a child of 16 months i would really appreciate it. I had it in paper work and it is missing now.

These headaches are at the base of my skull. I've tried heat, ice, massage, hot showers, and all the over counter stuff. I just can't afford a doctor right now. Any advice would be helpful.
