Health - 24 January 2007

If you tell someone to try a natural, organic diet free of preservatives and chemicals, they resist it, but will pop a pill of even more toxic stuff? I was in seriously poor shape two years ago with a multitude of problems, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, hidradenitis and thyroid problems. When I stopped eating processed food, and eliminated wheat, soy and eggs from my diet, the symptoms cleared up. I wonder why many people don't realize the toxins that are in commercial meats, milk and processed food? All you have to do is read the label to see how bad it is!

Hiya! I have been on Evra contraceptive patch for two years now, and untill 2 months ago it suited me fine. But last month and this month instead of getting my period after taking the patch off (you wear patches for three weeks, then take it off and get your period few days later), I got period during the last week of wearing patch. It felt like a usual period - e.g. a pain in my lower abd. as usual for first three days, then two more days of bleeding. Then, after taking the last patch off, I got another, "scheduled" period. Did anyone have similar problems with the patch? Could my body be "tired" of patch, e.g. stopped responding to it?

I have so much trouble sleeping at night. My mind just seems to re-play the whole day back in my head. Even though i am sleepy. I cannot get to sleep. Even if i make myself go and lay in bed, around 11pm..i won't fall asleep till 1am or later. And i get up around 9am. But i'm so sleepy the whole rest of the day. And as soon as the night hits, i'm wide awake. I've taken cold meds, and advil PM just to help me sleep. Though i know its not good.
Any one have any ideas or tips of what could help?
Thanks in advances!

I get really sleepy the week before and the week of my period. Usually the week of my period, I am more tired than the week before, but my dr. did a blood test, and said that I am not anemic. So, what else would cause this? Is there anything that can help me be more alert during the day? I have a really hard time at work staying awake. Thanks for your help

hey everyone, im 15 years old, female. i must be honest, I'm really upset with my body image. I am 5'3 at 103-104 pounds. I know that technically thats considered 'underweight' but i always look in the mirror, & honest to god, think I'm fat. a couple of months ago i went from 105 to 91 pounds through self starvation, occasional binges, and guilt guilt guilt, over a 2 month course,
resulting in me losing my period, still, since September. i became extremely depressed, & finally told my mother, everything. she pretty much suspected this all along, and couldnt believe the fact that i still havent gotten my period in 4 months. i dont consider myself anorexic, b/c i helped myself, without anyones help, & actually started eating again. i went to the doctor & if i dont get my period by next month, they will look into this further.but now i have 2 problems:i eat too much, when no ones around (not binging, but eating till i feel 2 full not SICKLY full, 2nd i dont think im beautiful =[

Ok, I don't have a lot of trouble eating healthy during the rest of the month, but when I get my period, it's like this junk-food eating monster inhibits my body and I go on a rampage, gobbling chocolate bars, ice-cream, greasy foods, yuck! Do any of you gals have the same prob?

I dont mean blowing it directly in their face, but just in general, if they happened to be around it, how harmful can it be? I know that secondhand cigarette smoke can cause pet cancer.
