I have very sensitive skin. I tried proactive and it over dires me and then I break out even more. I need something soft and gentle yet effective. Please help!

Okay, so I know it's not summer, but I want to achieve a dark glow. I also bought this before suntan lotion. Can I tan five times a week? Is it safe?

Whoever gives the best argument and supports their point of view the best, gets my best answer.

We know that antibiotics is creating superbugs, so do you think this is dangerous to our health in the future? or do you think we can cope with this and create stronger antibiotics.

Arguments on both sides would be nice.

I have been very sexually active, successful and happy since I first married over 20 years ago. I am physically active, not a pound overweight, muscular and do not smoke or drink. Now however, at age 46 I have typical prostate enlargement, very common for men my age and older. I take Flomax and it immediately relaxes the prostate providing complete urination relief. However, I cannot maintain an erection and it is often difficult to achieve an erection. The only way I have been able to achieve and maintain an erection 100% of the time during the past few months is to take Viagra or Cialis. I would like to be able to and would like to know if it is possible to have an active, successful sex life, being able to achieve and maintain an erection with the issues I have outlined, without taking Viagra or Cialis. Are their herbs, foods, elixors that I can take which will help me become my youthful self once again? Or, am I stuck with Viagra?

I am a 31-year-old female who has had the worst luck in losing weight since having my daughter.... nearly 12 years ago!! I weigh more now than I did when I was full term with her!! I'm getting ready to have sinus surgery, which I've been told could actually help with my weight loss (as far as getting enough sleep or something like that). I have lost all motivation to exercise and eat healthy these days! I have, however, recently started walking 2- 3 times a week. Today I started using ankle weights (2 lbs each) and 1 lb hand weights to start, but I'm worried what will happen after the surgery (ya know that old, "Once you stop it's hard to start again" thing).
I have plans to go to New Orlean for St. Patrick's Day weekend and a wedding I have to attend in April (and wear a sleeveless dress), and I NEED to lose some weight in a big way! BUT, I love food and can't seem to get on track with "dieting". Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

I have been feeling weak and feverish all day and my stomach hurts, so I think I have the flu. But I am in college and I went to the 2 classes I had today, then i went to the cafeteria and ate a piece of pizza, fries, and a salad and drank tea, then later on I went back for dinner and had another piece of pizza, an apple, and lemonade. After this I went to the computer lab for awhile, then I was going to go back to the dorm room but I thought since I felt so sick I should stop by the little on campus store and get something to drink. I was going to get orange juice, but then I saw chocolate milk, and they NEVER have chocolate milk, so i just got chocolate milk instead. But will chocolate milk really help me at all if i have the flu? Also, will the fact that I ate pizza and fries make my flu worse?

Milk seems to score very high on people's list of healthy foods. However it is also one of the most common alergies. Is there actual scientific or medical data to support popular oppinion? Or is this a result of the dairy industry's agressive marketing tactics?

I start my day at 4:00 AM. By the time I come to, it's time to shower, get dressed, pray a bit and then out the door for my 1 hour commute in to work. I find that everyday I have been eating McDonalds breakfast food due to lack of time yet I wonder if this will reflect later on in my health since there is so much bad press out there concerning McDonalds food. What do you know or think? Every morning is rush rush rush!

The day i was watching TV these people talked about how you can be infected with HIV. But seen then it changed my life. I can't have fun like i use to, my grades are decreasing in school it not getting any better, this is my last year in high school i have to work hard to graduate but it not looking that good at all. Well to make long story short. I have taking the HIV test and it came back negative i waited for about 7 month wish they called the window period so it will be accurate but that still doesn't help. I'm starting to freak out and i think that everything around me is infected with HIV. I keep focusing this thought on myself. I'm going to the therapist but it does not seem to be helping, This is really ruling my life. I want to be the kind of person that i was before. I want to have fun again, I CAN'T stand myself anymore. I think it Fear. I don't want to live like this anymore. Please help me I need a serious help... i don't want to end up hurting myself.
