Health - 11 January 2007

I am 80 lbs overweight and 35 yrs old and unfortunately very out of shape. I walked 2 miles today and swam several laps. I was exhausted and felt like I had a good workout. How many times a week should I work out and how many miles would you suggest I walk? Also what machines should I use and what is the best time to work out each day? Any advice or workout tips are welcome!

I got blood work done by my Internal Medicine Doctor and he said that I'm allergic to Wheat, Eggs and Dairy. Does the "dairy" pertain to just cow milk products? or does it cover sheep and goat too?

This is embarrasing...for the last two weeks I am having the most difficult time going #2! Could there be some kind of blockage? Has anyone ever had experience with this?

Today I woke up with my body aching, a sore throat, stuffy nose, cramping-contraction like pains in my lower stomach, plus I feel like I have to pee all the time, and when I pee it sorta tickles when I'm almost finished. My husband thinks I need to go to the doctor, but I think that it's just a cold and my nerves (I just buried my grandpa today and then I found out that my cousin killed herself). Any advice??

I am cutting out processed food, cow-dairy, salt, sugar, wheat, preservatives, etc.

Im loading up on fish, fresh fruits and veggies, raw unsalted nuts and grains, water, fiber, garlic, cayanne, lemon, etc.

I have been taking birth control pills and multivitimins daily for nearly 10 years. Im not having sex right now, so should I discontinue my use?

What about smoking pot? Does this effect my bodys ability to cleanse itself?

I am taking a full body cleanse kit (fiber, lax, and milk thistle).

I’ve been feeling sick for a while now. I’m extremely tired all the time, my head pounds continuously, my stomach hurts, so much that I was referred to a GI specialist, I don’t bruise easily but I seem to get lots of little cuts and I get little sores in my mouth a lot. Also my grades are dropping like crazy because I miss so much school. At school I we do this project, Pasta for Pennies- Pennies for Patients, where we raise money for the leukemia and lymphoma society. I was curious so I went online to look up symptoms and a lot of them match. I’ve been to the doctor and I’ve had other test done where they try to figure out what’s wrong with me. Would they find it in my blood, I mean could they tell? What are the chances that I would have leukemia? I’m almost 17; wouldn’t they have caught this by now?
