there are detoxifiers for heroine, and other very addictive drugs out there on the street. But I feel, that nicotine is the worst drug in creation. Is there no natural or chemical detoxifiers..even any that they have not released yet. People want to substitute "the patch" which is just nicotine in another form. What about helping us to completely detoxify the drug nicotine from our systems all together instead of swapping one form for another. Wouldn't this be a more intelligent approach to helping people quit?

I broke my jaw several times. The last time was 4 yrs. ago when I had surgery. It left part of the area numb. Now this area on my face is in such a lot of pain and teeth around it are really painful too. Could this be because of my old injury?

According to our caculations she ovulated yesterday and she has been having all of the ovulating symptoms and me and my partner have been havin sex all week, the last time was 2 nights ago. She goes to the doctor on the 27th and I know that it is no way for us to know now but do you think our chances are good???

My doctor wants $350 for custom orthotics and they aren't covered by my insurance! I can find them much cheaper online, where they ship you the foam impression kit. Would orthotics purchased online be as effective as the ones I would get from my doctor?

This is for the treatment of plantar fasciitis.

My daughter is allergic to the whole egg so I can't use Egg Beaters or anything that contains parts of the egg. My problem with baking cakes is that it doesn't rise well just adding extra water, flour and baking soda. I got that substitute out of a cookbook. I know you can also use applesauce but she is allergic to apples to. Any suggestions?

I just started taking Levlen this month, which is a form of birth control pill that has 3 weeks of combination pills and 1 week of placebos for which the period's supposed to take place in. I've had long cycles before, usually 35 days as opposed to the 28 that the pill promotes. My period is late for this set of placebos, and my question is if this is normal, or if I should be concerned that my period hasn't started yet. I've used condoms in addition to the pill all month, so I doubt I'm pregnant.

have very high levels of self-hatred and get very angry. What should I do, as I couldn't open up to a psychiatrist before and (probably due to not being open up) I didn't find it helped. I don't think I could go into hypnotherapy or where people could access my thoughts. Any other suggestions. I am really afraid to go to the doctor again, I rarely go, and tend to lose interest in prescribed medication (for non-mental health related things) so feel like a really ungrateful patient. Sorry for rambling.

I've been working in bars for 2 years and my helthy lifestyle has seriously deteriorated. Although I am one of those people who's weight doesn't fluctuate easily, I have gained a little round the stomach and want to know if lots of water, cutting down carbs and not brinking beer will do the trick over time?

My vagina burns and it sort of itches too. Sometimes I can't stand it and I end up soiling myself. It goes away after a couple days on its own. When I go, it does smell different and disgusting. I'm not discharging though.

By the way, any person I've had sexual intercourse with is STD free for sure.

Is it a Yeast Infection?

or give them a heart attack!!!

....basically if you catch them smoking or know that they do or have smoked, make them sit down and smoke an entire pack, one right after the other. I know i wouldnt be able to handle that, and im a smoker. would that seriously damage their body? have any of you done that before?
