Before anyone pops on, asking "why would you want to" please explore this topic online first. The myth that flouridated water helps teeth has been thoroughly disputed, and its harmful effects (this is listed as a toxin more damaging than lead) seem to have some possible merit.

I use to have this friend of mine, he was seriously attracted to groups of females within the ages of 8 - 11, and he was only attracted to girls that age. He never grew out of it, I haven't spoken to him in a while so I don't know what's happened with this. Well my question is, can this be cured? How?

I know that water keeps you hydrated and healthy but why else is it good for you? What does it do?

I have a serious foot odor problem but only on my right foot. The left oen smells like roses even after a hard day at work. But the right one stinks shortly after bathing. A doctor recommended an oatmeal bath, so I bought some of that instant oatmeal and dumped a few sacks on the foot while it was in a bowl, but I could not bring myself to pour boiling water in the bowl due to the possibility of burning myself (Mama didn't raise no fool!). Anyway, I am at a loss of what to do and this is affecting my social life.

I was on the Depo shot for about a year and my doctor just switched me back to the pill because of side effects. She put me on the Ortho Low, 21 pack. On my off week, when I was suppost to get a period I did not. I did not start taking the next pack because the day I was to start I started getting really bad cramping. I figured it was coming.... nothing.... still really bad cramps...
Could I be pregnant? Is it the mix of the different birth controls, what?

I called my clinic, they said that I could come in for a pee test, however in my previous history, if I am pregnant it would be to soon for it to show on anything. Help!

When I'm at home getting ready for school in the mornings my face is okay, and it's not flaming red or anything because I'm content around my family. But when I get to school I'm rushing around a lot and get tired and embarassed often, so my cheeks turn a bright red. Really, it's embarassing. My cheeks are naturally red ( at least, that's what my mom says ), but I don't like it. My mom says that osme girls would kill to not have to use makeup or pinch their cheeks to get a slight tint to their cheeks, but I wish it would go away. The bad part is, only my cheeks get red, but not the rest of my face, so it just looks like I applied too much makeup to my cheeks. Sometimes my cheeks burn so bad that even when I put my icy cold fingers on them to cool them down it doesn't halp much. I really hate my red cheeks because it ruins all of my makeup and takes away that fresh, clean look that I start out with in the morning, so I appear very unattractive to myself. Is there anything i can do?

I love to wear dresses that are low-cut in the back, but I don't wear them because I have a lot of moles that I feel are very ugly and embarassing. Isn't there some kind of remedy to make the moles dry up and die and fall off without pain?
