Stomach acid breaks down foodstuffs which pass through the body via the blood system so how can live culture such as acidophulus and lactobacilious make it past the stomach and reach the intestine to do good in the bowels?

So I have like a bad condition. When I was a baby I had some disease (measels I believe) and it left a few (now unnoticable) scars as well as made the size of my pores alot bigger. Because of this I have alot of blackheads and its hard to get rid of them. I do microdermabrasion occasionally and it helps but its very expensive, but whats another affective way for removing blackheads and shrinking my pores?

Thanks!

This may sound really ignorant but........I've heard of people having suffered a stroke without even knowing it. Does anyone know the symptoms of what the lasting effects of this could be? (Memory loss or something?)

i cant control how i act it is really wierd... When I am at school I am very quiet and actually people come up to me and ask me why i never talk. It feels like a stabbing pain in me to have to talk to other people except rarely with certain family members.. like, it is that hard just to talk i dont get it everyone else seems to talk to others willingly. when I meet new people I am really mean to them just so i wont have to talk to them later. When I am all alone by myself I can talk and say whatever and its fine but i wonder why i am not the way i am with myself when i am with other people. Im not self concious i dont care what other people think. Its actually hard to write something like this that gives this much inside information about myself. Im getting sick of living here. i hate school even though i have a 4.0 and got a 2140 on the sat. i thought about joining the army. I think maybe if i can just hold a gun and go fight it would be enough for my life. why am i like this?

I have always been a tense person. Now, I am in my mid 40's and having to take medication to control my high blood pressure. Is there a new attitude I can learn or new habits to help me get my blood pressure back to normal and not have to take medication for it. I am also on medication for depresion, which I think could be related to the anxiety. Any ideas?

Various eye docs have not gotten my eyes clear. Most recently they are saying I have dry eyes and allergic conjunctivitis. But I've never had a problem with seasonal allergies, and when I was taking antibiotic eye drops weeks ago my eyes were responding better...also, the onset of the problem happened when I had an upper respiratory infection, which tends to indicate viral or bacterial conjunctivitis, and most importantly I have thick green-yellow discharge, a heave collection in the morning. Docs say they do not see bacteria in my eye, but have not done a culture. I'm so confused!

Would you spend an hour to watch a documentary on soap or paper clips? Like...how they're made, where the idea came from, details like that. On any regular appliance. Staplers...bobby pins.....junk like that. I would, but I'm a freak. This is a random question. Would you spend an hour of your time to do so?

The guy I work with has cronic bad breath. Bad enough that it stinks up the cab of the truck. I have seen people he is talking to step back as a result of his breath. I have said something to him before but he got mad like I was insulting him or something. Do I just put up with his breath or do I keep saying something to him?

My 6 year old son has a really hard time going and by the way he cries I sense that it is painful too, they are large when they do come out and sometimes clog the toilet and have to be broken apart before they will flush. The doctor told us about fiber type of powder that you mix in a drink but I find that doesn't really help. He still gets backed up...poor kid. :(

Any advice would be welcome...thanks.
