A friend of mine is trying to lose some weight in her thighs, but she can't tell whether it's fat or muscle? Is there a way to tell the difference, and if it's muscle, can she decrease it?

Bodi Detox Patch" Anyone heard of it and know anything about it?

I was given some samples of the "Bodi Detox Patch" and was wondering if any of you had used or knew of this. It claims to use wood vinegar and bamboo vinegar extract, houttuynia cordata extract, loquat leaf extract, chitosan, tourmaline, dextrin, vegetable fiber and vitamin c to draw out heavy metal toxins such as mercury, aluminum, lead, arsenic, etc. You stick it on your foot overnight and it turns brown with "toxins". I haven't tried it yet because I have a few questions...

HOW does this allegedly work?

IS it really sucking out all of these toxins?

HAVE you or somebody you know ever tried it?

These are made or distributed by Peaceland Holdings. Ever heard of them?

Thanks for your help guys!!

Her daughter died suddenly at the age of 40 of a massive heart attack. She had not been sick, was not at all overweight, had a great education, and a great job. My sister is so depressed and grieving much more than she should. Her daughter passed away around the first of October, 2006. My sister used to be so active and always on the go. Now she wants to stay at home all of the time. How can I help her?

I'm extremely emotional. I seem to cry every three days or so for a variety of reasons, and often times I break down into a crying fit and can hardly breathe. I love writing, and writing everything down helps to ease the flood of emotions, but I just feel everything inside me boiling over then...I cry.

Is this normal, or a sign of something serious? What can I do to control my tears?

My vagina used to itch all the time when I was young. When I turned 13 it stopped. I got my period at 11 and it still does not come on a regular basis, now that I am 14. I was wondering if my Vagina problems from when I was very little has to do with anything that goes on now. I used to have to take medicine when I was young for Vagina rashes. Now all the problems I have are skipped periods. Three times last year. And I have been experiencing abdominal pain and some vagina hurting that lasts for a while.
Any reasons?

I bite my nails and the skin around my fingers a lot, and now I'm trying to quit. But now I've realized that I chew on a lot of things, and I always have. I chew on pop cans, pencil pads (The little tube of rubber you put on pencils), random things of plastic and etc. I seem to do it when I'm bored. Could this be a medical problem, or am I just simply chewing out of boredom?

I dont know why I was stabbed, I was in the middle of biology class when the guy next to me grabs his pens and stabs me in my left arms, it bled somewhat.

It now has a scab and there is red around it and the upper part of my arm before my elbow feels very stiff as if someone was holding it back.

Yes, I know the best answer is "lose weight" but I need to know....if you're overweight and end up with a backache or other aches on a regular mattress/bed, what kind of bed has worked better for you?
