Some times the images of ct scan give artefacts that affect the images that we want to see. Especially the streak artefact. How can eliminate or reduce that artefact.

I have been told that my blood test showed that my liver enzymes were elevated. I am on several medications, for depression, anxiety, and back pain. I have been taking these medications for years with no problems. All of these new medications have made me very sick, and most of them had to be stoped. The doctor has put me back on my old medications, and I'm beginning to feel better. My old medications were off patent, and are generic, do doctors make these unnecessary changes to help the drug companies sell newer more expensive drugs? Are the doctors working the big drug companies, or me? Patented drugs are expensive, generic drugs are not, so they are cheaper, and less profitable for the big drug companies. I think medicine in this country has more to do with money, and politics, and less to do with health care. What do you think? I think this is a very important question, and I'm looking for thoughtfull answers only, please.

I've been reading through the Q's & A's, looking for my answer and I must applaud everyone's generosity.

Here's my story.

I turn 50 next month. Noting that milestone in my life three weeks ago I decided to quit wallowing in self-worth issues from my divorce and dedicate the hour I used for porn surfing to trying to land a real woman!

I'm sure you can imagine -- smoker, drinker, beer belly. So, I created a routine for my hour.

Here is what I have been doing...
I bought Carmen Electra's Striptease Workout (a little eye candy for an old man) and do the 15 minute warm up.
Then I walk for 30 minutes.
Back home (up 3 flights of stairs) I do 50 curls with 5 lb weights.
Then, sweating like a pig and gasping for air I just walk around my place for 15 minutes cooling off and drinking water.

After three weeks of doing this everyday -- I cool down a lot quicker so I think I can do another 5 minutes of ....something.
And that is the question I pose ...

My goal is 'better by May'.

Should I become the punisher or seek therapy? I dont like therapists because they institutionalize you.

Sometimes I get this overwhelming feeling that something bad happened to me when I was a kid. Do people actually suppress memories and completely forget them? If so, is it possible to release those memories? I really feel that something horribly bad happened.

Lately I have been getting tightness in my chest and feel like I could pass out after only having a couple of alcoholic drinks. I don't feel drunk or anything like that. It's usually when I am laying in bed afterwards and not on the night out. Other times I will be completely fine. I sometimes get random panic attacks too (usually when travelling). It's not very often but enough to give me concern. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (yeah, I've heard all the jokes), could this be connected? Any ideas? I'm 23 and relatively fit although I smoke around 4 cigarettes a day. Thanks for your help.

Are there particular foods/ drinks/ seasonings/ herbs that naturally raise metabolism? I'm not looking for a food supplement, like a pill--I have heard that with some of the fad diets, you pay for a pill that raises your metabolism but if you stop taking it your metabolism will go back to lower than original level. Advice?
