my last question has some good answers - [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AonQyF47Tz.cLkrCzQ51K6_cxQt.?qid=20070301115134AABt62a ]

but what i'm really curious about is if the body will get cancer automatically, as they age, without exposure to any carcinogens.

as i see it right now, since mutations happen all the time anyway, doesn't this mean that cancer is an inevitable condition, provided that you last through any other conditions that you face as you age?

Hi, I have gradually come off my seroxat 20mg tablets with advice from my doctor. Everything has been great except if I move I frequently get these electric shocks through my body and head.
Does anyone know how long this lasts for?
Its really annoying after a while, oh and its been happening for 2 weeks now!!!

I'm 5'6 and 156 lbs and my goal is 140 by May 25. I need suggestions on how to loose weight. I can stick to a strict exercise routine but I am not very strict with my diet. I can stay away from non-healthy food but I'm always hungry and all I ever want is ramen noodles and cereal (Special K, Natures Grain, Shredded Wheat).

My normal routine:
BREAKFAST: cereal, 2 cups coffee, lots of 2%milk
LUNCH+DINNER: cereal or a package of ramen noodles
SNACKS: grapes, bananas or toasted wheat bread w/ PB
DRINKS: 1-3 cups of coffee 3-5x a week and lots of 2% milk. I hate water but I try to force myself to drink it.
EXERCIZE: crunches, AbRoller, jump rope, exercise bike or run for 30 minutes at least 3x a week.

What can I add or take out of my diet or exercize routine? What can I do that is effective enough for me to lose 16 lbs before May 25? I am open to an suggestions. Thank you very much!

My hands has been terribly dry, front and back, itches real bad. and on my fingers (the palm side) pieces of skin are peeling off top down, feels like sand paper. I work in a dental office so I have to use the santizer to clean my hands before I set up the chair. Are hand sanitizers really damaging to skin?

Here lately I have been feeling kindof dizzy and light headed....pretty sick at my stomach. Like today I had pizza and I didn't finish it and it was still sitting on the table beside me and the smell made me so sick at my stomach. I have never really been like this before and I was wondering what this could be signs of? Thanks in advance

Can any one give me sound, 'first hand', experience, of how to come off this antidepressant. I am a mother of two and can not afford to mess my children around. Of course i will go to the doctors also, however i am particuly interested in mood experience and any other nasty effects,,,,how long it took persons etc. First hand experience only please.

How do you/I cope with the anger and unsettlement, when coming off of them please. Anger and children just don't mix and i am terrified of coming off them. I can feel soo terrible. I have been on them for several years. Help!

I can't remember what it's was like to be just me, without them. Did anyone notice that they were sensitive to situations once weened off.
I also seem to have developed a obsessive compulsive tendancy while i am on these...god only knows how this will be when i come off them also. I have been picking my face for 3 years,I am scarred. Apart from all this i am a very cheerful happy person. Really steady.

I've been taking ballet classes since i was about 6 years old. Thus, i have a very pettite, skinny phisique. I am "developing" slower than others {i am, just not as much as that girl with the DD cup LOL}

I am 5'2 & i weigh 40 kgs. However I eat healthy and sleep well. Many people say I'm skinny , yet i eat more than them gosh darn it!

I'm wondering if ballet training is slowing down puberty for me? and is this a really bad thing?
Like i mean I'm going to be 15 this year and still no period? Many people envy this , but I'm getting worried?

I just noticed this when one fingernail broke back really far. Then in a few days I realized both of the nails had pinker skin under the them than all the others. The one that broke way back has now grown out but it has ridges. What could be the cause?

I am 28 years old and have always have been in good health. Two months ago I started experiencing a flutter in my chest. It doesn't hurt, just makes me stop and notice. Over a period of a week, it happened at least five times a day. This went on for about three weeks. It stopped until last week, when it occured maybe three times. Today was an especially stressful day, and when I got home my right arm started to ache. Not painfully, but it feels tingly. Am I having a heart attack? If not, what else could be going on? I currently don't have health insurance, so I am very skeptical about going to a doctor. I have researched on the internet, and most of the data hasn't been too helpful.

I'm 5' 10.5'' and I'm currently 138 pounds. I exercise regularly and I'm on a mainly vegan diet. However, due to anemia, I have to eat at least 3 oz. of red meat a day. I've been a beginning model for about 6 months now. I think I look healthy, but my agent wants me to weigh 120. I don't think i can lose 18 pounds by the deadline I've been given, which is in about 6 weeks. I run everyday, I do sit ups and streches, and I'm also in kung fu. These activities are causing my to "buff up" and the muscle is making me look bulky. Also, after doing stomach exercises, my waistline seems to grow by an inch or more. I know that muscle is heavier than fat, and that's why I don't think i can lose the weight. Do I need to just stop exercising? Or are there any diet pills that work good and are healthy? It's mainly my waistline. It's 27 inches now and she wants it to be 23-25. I don't know what to do to lose the inches, and the harder I exercise, the *more* weight I gain. Help?
