people say white rice is bad for you but i dont quite understand since asians eat lot of white rice and we arent fat i think it's because our bodies are used to it. but i heard that when americans consume rice they get fat? is that true? and is it okay to eat rice everday if you're asian? i havent eat much rice for about a year and now im starting to eat it again but i keep hearing white rice is bad.

Or where I can go to find out? I can't seem to find anything about this particular drug. My dad has been taking it regularly for the past 3 months, he gets it over the counter from the pharmacy but I have just discovered that you shouldn't buy a second pack without consulting a Doctor it says so in the pack leaflet. He takes it for very bad heart burn. Does anyone know if this drug is dangerous with long term use? it doesn't say on the leaflet other then known side effects from normal usage.

it's not a serious break' it may just be sprained; it's still tender and feels stiff in the morning, though its hurts noticeably less than it did the first day or two. thing is, i don't have insurance and would like to avoid going to doctor/lab for diagnosis and x-rays---. which i guess leads to my biggest question; WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES IF MY ARM IS MILDLY BROKE AND I DON'T CAST IT OR POSSIBLY DO ANYTHING?

Please help! My hands, arms, stomach, thighs, & feet are all swollen and puffy. I know it's not fat because it feels almost like a water balloon. I have gone from a size 7 to 13/14 in just a year and have gained 40 lbs. I have not changed my diet or eating habits...if anything I am eating healthier than I ever have. The doctors cannot seem to figure out what is wrong, and just give up. I'm tired all the time, and my muscles ache. I had a kidney stone a few months ago, but everything started before that. Does anyone have any advise on what to do from here? It's becoming very frustrating.

I know a lot of you think that this is stupid or very strange, but whenever i have extreme emotional pain, i cut my arm to help relieve it. It takes my mind off of it and makes me feel better. I have also heard that it helps get rid of some physical pain because of a chemical released when the skin is cut. I want to stop but whenever i get upset about something i turn to cutting. Its gotten so even small things make me do it. Any advice that would help me without counceling??

My mother-in-law just got back from taking my 2 year old nephew to the doctor cause he has a hernia. My fiance had a hernia when he was born and later on when he was a kid. That means that he had double hernia. The doctor mentioned to her that people that have had double hernia's can't have kids but we don't know if these other kids that these other ex-girlfriends have had are his kids or not. They say that they are his but if what the doctor said is true then they can't be.
