I had high LFTs in a previous blood test and also pains in my lower right abdominal area. Ive gone on a diet and i just bought some detox tea that supposely helps the kidney and liver and cleanses the blood at Henrys Marketplace. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify these ingrediants and know if they do work:
All Organic: Cinnamon Bark,Licorice Root,Ginger Root,Burdock Root,Dandelion Root, Cardamon Seed, Juniper Berry,Black Pepper,Clove Bud,Long Pepper Berry,Chinese Amur Cork Tree Bark,Japanese Honeysuckle Flower,Forsythia Fruit,Gardenia Flower,Skullcap Root, Black Cohosh Root,Chinese Goldenthread Root,Rhubarb Root,Wax Ground,Asian Psyllium Seed. I also bought fresh Danelion Root, i was wonder in if anyone know how i should go about consuming that? Raw? Brew it and drink the water and eat the Root? And does anyone know how many times i should drink that day per day? and also the Dandelion root? I really need all these questions answer and appreciate anyone who can help. =D

Ever since my divorce years ago my mom is after me non-stop about anything (e.g., You don't know about the spinach scare; You don't know where this town is located; Everyone that died in the world trade center were saints; The pilots of the aircraft that went down must have been faithful, good lovers, awesome turbine engine mechanics, etc.)

Her new one this morning…two football teams are going at it (names not important). I said, "You can't do that. They have cameras. Those are individuals. You can't hide behind the team name. They need to identify who assaulted who and assign the fines/penalties." Which they will.

So, she goes off, "That's called Team Work! Don't you know anything about Team Work?!" My God, she's a little monster.

What makes her even madder is when I know her favorite daughters point of view, I pick that side of an argument for fun, and then reminder after we are done that my sister thinks that way too. She goes freak'n ballistic. What's wrong with her?

We have recently had a change in our financial situation, and purchasing my son's Concerta is difficult. I have just found out the Ritalin has a generic equivilent. I would like to know if anyone has had any experiance with this medication, and how it worked. Also, why are generic medications for ADHD frowned upon? Thanks in advance for your input.

Since I've joined in this new job I have to work on Computers staggeringly for almost the whole day. I have to work on projects that needs me to be on computers both at my office and stay up half the night at home to work on it. I had to get new glasses very recently( 6 months or so). Now I'm feeling that I'd need an eye check-up pretty soon as I'm sure my powers(eye) have changed. So, I think it's only due to the constant exposure to the Moniter radiations that my eyes are getting affected. I can't let this go on forever. This would certainly damage my eyes permanantly. Yet, I love my job and want to work the way I'm working.
Could you suggest me a way by which I can maintain a good eye-sight despite these stresses?

I used to take different meds for my anxiety such as zoloft, paxil, lexapro... but they never really helped me too much. So now my Dr. gave me .5 mg pills of alprazolam to take (only before i know i will be in an anxoius or stressful situation such as presentations or big group meetings, cus thats only really when i get anxious). Anyways.. will that .5 mg be enough dosage to work since I have already taken all those other medications previously?

Gnat bites seem to be bigger and last longer than usual these days and we have been plagued by them! We would welcome any advice as to how to prevent them but most of all, how to alleviate the irritation! Many thanks.

I'm currently trying to lose weight... a lot of weight. I'm 5'3'' and I'm currently 229lbs. I was 236 , but ever since Octorber 1st I lost 7lbs. I have this goal to get down to 140 at least by June 1st 2007. Do you think thats realistic? I'm a vegetarian, and I'm eating healthier foods, and I go to the gym and work out for 1-3 hours every other day at least. Am I doing this right? Is there any tips you can give me for good meals.
Breakfast - I typically eat yogurt or toast w/jelly ...
but lunch and dinner i'm clueless.. Remember I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat meat.
Any tips would be helpful.
But my main question is, do you think with how I"m doing I could get down from 229 to 140 by June 1st,2007?

KING: I got you. Back to Iraq. Would you leave? Just leave?
PENN: Well, I think there are three Iraqs. Or there are four Iraqs. And I think that there is something -- you know, I'm not a military strategist, but that puts me on par with our military strategists. So I think that you have Kurdistan. We have an obligation to the Kurds there. You've got Sunnis and Shiites, who once got along. (End quote) Let me educate you Sean Penn you brainless wonder. It is commonly known that Shiite and Sunni Muslims have been killing each since ANCIENT TIMES. Murder over RULERSHIP and REVENGE regarding Muhammad's grandsons killing, by the Shiites, after they invited that heir to come and preach. They (Shiites) have a "Day" to commemerate it by beating themselves bloody, openly on the streets. Ḥusayn ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (حسين بن علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب)‎ 28th August 626 – 680 Sha'ban 3 , 4 - Muharram 10 , 61 A.H.- was the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. SUNNI and SHIITES NEVER EVER had peace!
