According to my friend who's a Neuroscience major... if you eat too much bananas it could cause your brain to overload becuase of the spike in potassium levels. Is that true or is she just shitting me?

I know I have cavities & holes in my teeth but cannot afford to get them fixed. I am flossing, brushing gently, & using mouthwash constantly till my insurance starts up in 5months... do you think the act restoring kind will bide me some time?

Does it work?

I think that I might be anorexic, I have not eaten anything in yes count it 3 days, all i have had throught these days are gum, water, and a nonfat surgar free tall vanilla latte, okay two. I have been telling my parents that i have eaten, when i dont. I feel really guilty about lying to them, especially since i have never really lied to them before. should i tell them or u know figure this out myself, i try to eat but food looks disgusting and my body looks good. DOnt think that i am a freak i weight 118 but before i started this i weighed 124. That is a big difference i am 5'5 1/2 so is that like overweight i dunno. Oh well all i know is i cannot stop, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner how will i cover for that.

Ok so I need to know, what is the difference between a colon detox, and a body detox? Some site suggest that colon detox is like getting a full body detox, so this made me confused! Next, if you know, what are the best products for that please let me know. Also, if you are a distributor selling specific products, please don't try to answer my question to promote the product and get yourself some comission, please answer it if your trying to help me. Thank you!

This is for my mother who can't qualify for any social services and doesn't have enough money to pay all the bills. I've been sending these people (different companies/hospitals) payments (small) and even so they are threatening to send it to collections if they don't get the money right now (like half a million dollars is easy to come by). Can they do this? Should I/we just keep sending payments? Any ideas?

I am having a blood test tomorrow morning and I am really scared. I have to go alone, and I am afraid. I get SO scared everytime I go to the doctor's. All week I have been having diabetes checks done and I love the nurse at school who does them for me, but I have to go to a strange lab and have this blood test done alone. I am very scared. Which hurts worse, a blood test or a finger prick? Please be honest and help me...

When a girl has yeast infection, does she get it from her partner? Does that mean he's cheating? I heard it's not something you get from your partner, but I just wanna make sure.

So tonight in my game I go up for a block and fell on it again and now it is very swollen again. Does that mean it is sprained? I can walk on it but only if I angle it a certain way and put no weight on it. I iced it a little but I was wondering if I will be ready for baskeball practice on Friday morning? Also I have a history of ankle problems.

I have this god-forsaken loose skin around my stomach and its driving me crazy. Ive lost all my baby weight and back to my normal pre-pregnancy pounds. Just this loose skin is keeping me from wearing my favorite clothes again. I know it takes time, but how much longer am I going to feel icky when I look in the mirror? I dont feel attractive anymore with it, along with the stretchmarks too. I think it turns my hubby off too, he hardly glances my way anymore...*sniff...Please help me! These stretches arent helping, and Im too afraid too take any pills. I think lotions are bogus...what else can I do?
