Health - 28 February 2007

Hi, we've just received a Parrotlet (the smallest breed of parrot) from a realitive that passed. I have a 1 year old child. My concern is that I've heard some people say that they carry very bad diseases and others have said they don't. could someone please tell me if I have anything to be concerned about....should I get rid of the bird, or are there safety measures I should take. We always sanitize our hands after we hold it, and I try to keep my child away from the cage as much as possibe. PLEASE HELP ME! LOL....thank you!!

I am doing some research on diet pills. From what I have found so far the best working ones are Lipvox, Ephedrasil, Slim Quick, and Zalestrim.
Although Lipvox and Ephedrasil seem the best, they are VERY expensive about $100 a bottle. So, I am looking more at Slim Quick and Zalestrim.
Slim Quick claims they are the best for woman, attacking fat areas that give woman problems. If it works as well as it says it does, than its worth it for the price.
Zalestrim claims to aid in weight loss, says that it "awakens" the hormones and tissues in the breasts, enhancing them slightly, and it also claims to have a sexual stimulant. This one also sounds reasonable for the price - if it works.
I am mainly looking for opinions on the last two products, but if you have used the first two let me know what you thought. I am NOT looking for your opinion on diet pills in general, I don't want to hear how you feel are "bad"...My question is which one of these do you prefer, do you know work? Thanks.

So my fiance came down with the stomach flu on Monday, and I'm afraid of getting it. What are the chances I'll get it from him? It's also going around campus. I'm esp. paranoid about washing my hands after touching things lately, and avoiding touching my face. I haven't even put in my contacts the last few days. I have also been taking airborne the past few days, totaling 3000mg vitamin C, and before that I was taking zinc last week because i started coming down with a cold and it took care of it. But then he got really sick out of the blue.

I have recently lost a good amount of weight. I have done cardio, cardio cardio through out the process and completely ignored weights. Now I see the benefits and am now toning my body due to ecess flab and loose skin that has developed over my weight loss. I have heard that when you are trying to lose fat and gain muscle that too much fruit is detrimental to the process. I have tried to cut down on fruit which is hard cus i love it so much but today i ate a medium apple , a peach and half of a medium bannana . is this too much fruit intake for fat loss and how much would be recommended to have ? By the way i ate these before my work out. Thank you for your answers :).

Went to GP and he said I had a cyst under my armpit the size of a pea. Told me to squeeze it while in the shower- greyish thick stuff came out and then would fill up again. Now about 1week after really attacking it- It now is red and swollen and hurts and gotten the size of a nickel. I have put myself on clyndimycin to see if it goes down any..... What can I do now?
