I heard if you cut a strawberry and lightly rub it on your teeth, the acids in the fruit would make your teeth whiter. Has anyone tried this and does this work?

whiten your teeth WITH OUT having to go to the dentist.
I heard if you brush with baking powder[or soda I don't know which one] helps and also with hydrogen peroxide.

But are there any other home things you can do?

I am currently on several prescription drugs (including ritalin and klonopin, an amphetamine and a benzodiazapine). I had unprotected sex 2 days ago, and then used plan b, but am worried that I'll still get pregnant. If I do get pregnant, the drugs I'm on could hurt the potential baby. I don't want to stop the drugs, as I'm on them for a reason, but if I am pregnant, I'll have to stop them anyway for the baby's health (obviously we didn't plan for a baby, and it's not a good time for one, but if I do end up pregnant, we would keep the baby.)

So how bad are these drugs in very early pregnancy? Can they effect the ovum before implantation even occurs? Where can I find more information on this?

Any thoughts/experiences would be helpful. I'll be talking to my pyschiatrist on Tuesday about this as well.

Studies that are conducted by manufacturers of bio resonance equipment are not, in my opinion, the most valid. What I am looking for are studies of independent practitioners or organizations that can help in determining if this kind of treatment is having important results.

could they be due strictly to stress? or do you think that there could a more seriously underlying cause? I am only 19 years old and usually healthy most of the time, so I don't really have a reason to think that my health is in immediate jeopardy (i.e. aneurysm or something like that).

Over the last 10 years I have taken at one time or another Zoloft, Celexa, Zyprexa, Paxil, Seroquel, Klonipin, Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Remeron, Trazadone, Wellbutrin, Serzone or Cymbalta. In short like I said all worked to little or no avail. The Zoloft is the only SSRI that gave me the least amount of side effects and after taking it for years it just stopped working. I also suffer from severe back pain so I take Vicodin & Soma for that . Hence b/c of side effects/interactions the ONLY thing I can use to treat my anxiety is xanax (other than weed lol). My mother went to a nutrition specialist & he recommended some women's mega vitamins called Natural Woman & recommended drinking at least one glass of O.J. per day. I know more exercise wouldn't hurt as well. My final ? would be should I listen to these so called Dr's prescribing crap that doesn't work or give the "natural" methods a chance. Every conventional DR is going to recommend some anti depressant I have already taken. Input NE1?

I joined Jenny Craig years ago but gave up because of the people they had working at my local center. I purchased the platinum plan back then and they said I could re-join at any time and just pay for food. That was 2 moves ago and I have no clue where my paperwork is. I emailed Jenny Craig to see if they could look up my info but they said I would have to speak to a rep via phone. Does anyone know the current approximate cost per week for food? I'd like to know all this before I get my hopes up and call and then find myself being talked into something I can't afford.

and that you have 12-18 months survival, would you opt for treatment and know that it may give you that time, though it sometimes is not quality
or: live out you remaing time doing as you would like, knowing that it may bring the end sooner

Pease let me know if this sounds like ms?
Ok 7 months ago, I got this weird feeling all throughout my body, like this electrical feeling going through my body for 6 weeks, finally did an mri which was normal, also did one of my cervial spine that showed 3 bulging disks which i was treated for, which we blamed all my symptoms on the disks, now 7 months later I have the same exact symptoms, my body is tingling all over and some parts feel like they are burning, as if i got a sun burn, no numbness just major pins and needles for 2 weeks straight, saw a neuro yesterday and he said ms only effects one side of the body, is this true? Are the feelings only on one side? Also I feel like far away things seem a bit blur to me, and my left ear keeps getting plugged, i am going for another mri on tuesday, does this sound like ms? Please help 25/f
