Ok I asked about hte recovery earlier.....and welcome any suggestions on that.....but after reading a few other related questions.........many say eating soft, cool foods (ie. ice cream and jello) while others suggest hard cruncy foods to get the "scabs" off........which is right? I have surgery in the morning.......

I would love to learn to do back handsprings and things such as this. How do I train myself? I am 22 so I'm not too old but I feel too old to go to some sort of gymnastics class. I heard you start out doing backbends then a backbend kickover then you gradually work up to this by strengthening your back muscles. Does anybody have any tips?

It also feels like it is wet there all of the time. Is it because I workout? Or is is because I am not completely dry after my shower?

A massage therapist told me to rub castor oil on my tummy then put Saran Wrap around my middle, covering the castor oil, then put a towel on and put a heating pad on top of the towel. to warm my belly area because it will break lose toxins in my system and, if I use a colon cleanser or get a colonic, it'll be more effective than if I didn't use the Castor Oil. The trouble is that I've read Castor Oil can be toxic and harm your liver. What do you think?

I'm doing a paper on split and multiple personalities. I'm of course using books and internet sourcing but I'm trying to come up with alot of rare facts on the case. Also I had a question, is it ever possible that in the stomach of a pregnant woman one twin dies and the brains merge together? Kind of like when one twin dies and the dna goes into the other twin. "I am my own twin" type of thing? Thanks!

My sister has had severe sinus and allergies for years, she has taken almost everything on the market, even shots from the Dr. but the shot is suppose to last 3 months, and she barely gets past 1-2 months. Like today, she did not sleep good, and gets sores below her nose it hurts so bad. She has to carry around a towel a lot. Any idea's from someone who knows what this is like and/or what might she try? Also how could I forget, " the headaches!!!", can't take asprin, advil, or anything that would upset your stomache.

I read that it is considered average to have a bowel movement 3 times per week. So does this mean that having one 3-5 times a day should be mentioned to a health care professional?

Now the pain is coming back. It's to right of my knee cap and behind also. It also looks like my knee may be swolen.

Aproximately how many days does it take to rid your body of nicotine once you quit? I want to quit chewing tobacco and everytime I try I end up with a bad temper, attitude, and I start feening for a taste of copenhagen. I can't even think straight and it curbs my appetite. I've had accupuncture and it helped for about 6 days to curb my feening, but I still dipped. If I can just quit, I need a goal of how many days I can go before I stop getting the urges from the nicotine.

Please, I don't want anyone telling me not to get one...or how wrong it is. How much would an early one cost (like 1st, 2nd month)? I'm pretty poor, so is there a way to get it cheaper? If they have something that you can qualify for (to help pay with it) would they tell your parents or would it require your parents to be told?

I'm allergic to dust and certain types of tree pollen. It gets really bad in the spring, in the other seasons its the dust but its not really that bad. I was wondering if there is a way to cure my allergies. The over counter meds and precribed stuff dont really do much for me, especially the non-drowsey stuff. I find only stuff that works is that make me drowsy, but i can't take those during the day, if not i'll fall asleep in class or cant pay attention.
