Health - 19 January 2007

I ---was sexually molested at age age 3,5,7, and on up here and there until I was 15 years old....and found myself in alot of similar circumstances when I was an adult.I--had alot of problems when I was 13 due to a parent flipping out and I endend up having a 24 year old boyfriend and this parent didn't care ......had 2 kid's before 18 and now I am wondering if all of that can disappear for a while and come back stronger as far as mental issues......even if your living your life by the book(in a sense). I have been battling depression , anxiety, and unknown possible auto-immune difficulties. Please if you have any advice as to what is causing this or how I could fix it.........I will be eternally grateful, Missmelis

my very good friend is a wonderful person, he does good with everyone, he doesnt smoke, drink or do anything harmful to his body. he quit drinking soda and eating fried foods. im very proud of him and proud to know a person like him, but i am seriously concerned about his health related to his work schedule. he goes to college, works a job AND takes care of his family because his father is incapable. he has been doing this for years and i notice its catching up with him even at this age(hes 20) a few months ago, i asked him to be partners with me in my business(stocks) and he appreciated the offer but said no thanks. the job he has is stressful and has to deal with people all the while he is there. is there anything i can do or tell him to make him realize he must lessen his workload before he gets health issues. i like him a lot and i would be devastated if he wasnt healthy. please any opinions or solutions would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

I try to eat healthy but I often find myself over indulging in food.. all the time. I seem to find an excuse everytime. When I go out to eat I'll just eat and eat until I feel sick... but I'll say it's because it's a "special" occasion so I can "cheat". But I "cheat" all the time, everyday, and I hate myself for it. Any suggestions? Please don't say anything rude..........thanks =)

My relative was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer, and I have been looking ofr treatments. I don't really need a webpage about it, since I've found plenty of those, but I do need treatments that have worked of people whom you personally know.

Aside from surgery (hysterectomy), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, what treatments are there? Any breakthrough techniques that are minimally damaging to her? I know her survival odds are slim, since she's 86 years old, but I would like to do everything possible to help her.

If you have any success stories or successful treatments (doesn't matter which country or which type of approach), that would be very helpful.

Most of you Americans have had penile reduction surgery (circumcision) at birth, and my question is how do you feel knowing that you are mutilated, not as god intended, that you've lost most of your sensitive nerves and normal function of the penis is now lost forever? How does it feel to know you don't measure up in size or performance to the rest of the world who is natural (not mutilated)? The bogus AMERICAN surveys showing AMERICAN women (trained, taught, propagandized since infancy) prefer mutilated penises--please don't trot those out because as you well know they are bogus.

When I went to Australia they were big on meningococcal, and when I search for meningococcal, I get stuff on meningitis. But from what I learned about meningitis in school (long time ago) it didn't seem like what the Australians were saying meningococcal is. So then is there some other connection? or do the different countries just focus on teaching different symptoms? or is it really 2 different things?

When I started smoking I smoked 1 or 2 cigerettes a day. Now only a year later I smoke 3 packs a day. I dont understand what makes me smoke more and more. I hope I dont die before my son grows up. It is so hard to quit smoking. I enjoy it too much.

So there's been a runin with headlice in my house and I wanted to make certain that my boyfriend did not get them, as he lives in a different building. He told me that he did not use a spray but washed his bedsheets in hot water and microwaved his pillow. Could this have killed/eradicated any nits present?

Liking a girl is about alot more then just sex (not that isn't part of it of course)? Personally I look for a girl that I not only look forward to "seeing" but also look forward to talking to. Plenty of my jock friends are all bout looks, and think every girl that opens her mouth for anything except to suck a dick is annoying. Personally I like being able to have a conversation with a girl, and have it go off on all these randomn tangents, and we can laugh are asses off about it together afterwards. (which there is one currently but we're just friends for now). All these guys that are all about dating a girl for the sex and blowjobs are annoying to me, date the girl for her, not JUST her *** and ****. Don't hurt, but don't base it off that soley.
