My best friend has a problem with meth. He escorts and sells meth for money. He hasnt seen his family in over two years and hides all of this from them. I have tried to help him change for the past year but have failed. I finally decided to tell his family what has been going on with him. Did I do the right thing?

I'm currently on a low-carb diet. I don't have a ton of weight to lose, and so far its been successful.

I want to enjoy some drinks tonight, and I realize that most hard liquor doesn't have carbs. What I want to know is this: Has anyone here had good experience drinking on a low-carb diet? Has it hindered your progress?

Spouse and 14 year old are susceptible to migraines. Really don't want to go prescription route. Have recently read that magnesium can help prevent migraines. Multi Vitamin has 100 mg Magnesium (doseage 1 pill), Calcium Citrate + with Vit. D claims to have Magnesium Stearate (doseage 2 pills), Vitamin C claims to have Magnesium Stearate (doseage 1 pill) . Read that Magnesium Stearate is supposed to be a synthetic salt manufacturers use in making vitamins. They like to eat some of the foods that contain magnesium but not every day. Maybe they're not taking enough Magnesium. Should they also take a Magnesium Supplement as well? If so how many more mg should they take? Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

Hey I have been eating an average of 800 cal every day since Sept and I have gone from 120 something lbs to 102 lbs. I am 5'1. I am wondering how I can get out of starvation mode since I am anorexic but without gaining the weight back since I am terrified of getting fat again. How would I do so?

I have a daughter with special needs that has had chronic ear infections since August of last year. When cultured the bug came back as Thrush. This is something I have never ever heard of in the ear. Does anyone have any suggestion on a good way to treat this. She has been given ear drops, ear cream and antibiotics, unfortunately she is still a discomfort and above all cannot hear out of it.

Does anyone know of any ways that you can give someone who you believe may be using crack or heroin a drug test with out them knowing? I know that sounds crazy, but I believe my brother may be relapsing and he refuses to take a drug test, is there any way that my mother or I can either have him forced to take one, or any way i can get him to take him unknowingly?

i am curious if anyone else has experienced a severe loss of appetite while taking prozac. i am currently taking 40mg/day and will be going up to 60mg/day in a week or two. my psychiatrist told me weight loss is a side effect of the drug and he is monitoring my weight at each visit. i am more concerned about the day to day effects of a poor appetite, i.e. lack of proper nutrition, fatigue, nausea, body aches, "empty stomach" pains, etc.

This might seem strange to some, but I would like input please. My grand daughter, whom I love more than anything and is very precious to me, has just started her period. Her mom and I are very proud, (she doesn't quite feel this way yet). I would like to give her a gift to commemorate this milestone in her life. A keepsake of sorts. My childhood was such a disaster and it's important to me that my children and grandchildren have special memories of theirs and of me when I'm gone. Any ideas would be appreciated.
