Health - 15 March 2007

I know this is an unhealthy weight loss but honestly i don't care. I am 19, I weigh 168 and i'm 5'7. I eat around 500 calories a day and during exersice I burn about 300 give or take. Yes, i know thats an extremely unhealthy level..no need to point that out, and no point in telling me i'm on the road to an eating disorder..already there! Can someone please tell me how much I need to eat/exercise or what i need to do to lose 3lbs a week? Thanks..

I've had red bumps all over my skin since I was a child they started on the backs of my arms and shins and over time they have spread to my arms and my upper legs and now they are getting on my stomach I was just wondering if anyone knew of a home remedy or an over the counter remedy that might clear it up. I went to a dermatologist and he said tanning would help can anyone back that up. he also said it might be keryotosis pilaris whatever that maybe its due to large pores on my body does anyone know how to close those? please anything will help I am NOT stressed, nothing in my life has changed, and they DO NOT ITCH never have.

Do you remember when your immense cigarette cravings stopped.

When did the anger stop?

If you have sucessfully quit, did you try many times before. Did the succesful time seem different to the failed attempts. (i've had about 5 failed attempts)

I've stopped now for 4 and a bit days. (i think i quit for just over a week once before i gave in) For some reason this time, i know i can quit - and i know i'll never have a cigarette again!

Where you eat higher amount of calories one day and then reduce for a couple of days-then repeat.

Took me over 3 years, but I FINALLY got the courage to go to a dermatologist for my acne scars.

I hated it.

The doctor was mean, he made me feel like a freak. He asked what I was there for and I said I had taken accutane but now have scars. And all he said was "And......????" Like I was stupid or something!

I almost cried, I had tears in my eyes. I said "And, I want to do something about them". He sighed and said "Lets take a look" and shined a light on me, and said "yeah, you have some moderate scarring. We don't treat that here, you have to go to a plastic surgeon."

He then gave me some retin-a & a referal to a plastic surgeon and sent me on my way. It was so HARD for me to even go there, and tell him something I am so embarrassed about and I felt like a freak at a freak show (There was some nurse in the room taking notes too).

I drove home crying, I've always hated doctors & this visit just made me even more scred of them. What did I do wrong?

so... My mom made some pork chops and some how a piece of papery/platicy thing (probably a wrapper from the pork chops) ended up in the oven.

Well, obviously, it made the house smell terrible and what not, but could it be harmful to us?

OH! And my mom ate one of the porkchops!!

How concerned should I be? I Have two little dogs here, can they get sick?

I'm 18, 6'3", 225lbs. I'm looking for a good diet plan (not necessarily diet) to lose some fat while maintaining my weight by exercising and putting back on some muscle. I'm in generally good shape but I've been out of commission for a few months now and have put some weight on. I need a pretty strict plan that will help me achieve my goal in roughly the same time I put the weight on. Any ideas, specific plans, or general rules you can suggest would be awesome.

Whats up guys, I've been making a nice living doing clinical research studies, like they pay $3,000+ if you're in the right ones so its enough to pay a few mo. rent. But basically I'm wondering, how can I set things up (welfare etc. I have issues and have gone to a mental hospital) so I can A. Pay rent B. Get food and C. Smoke ganja. I mean I could continue to put my health @ risk w/ the clinical studies and I have friedns that have done it for years, however, b/c of my issues, I want to have the luxury to be able to smoke herbs again.

Peace yall, no joke answers please.

You probably know that this drug is the main active ingredient used in Ecstasy... but I read some stuff about experiments conducted on mice that showed the drug causing 'Hardening of the heart wall'!!
Naturally, i'm a bit concerned about this..

The question is, does anyone know or can speculate how long you'd have to be using this drug for this to be a real concern.
I'm not overly fussed about the other problem with messing with the seretonin receptors, just about the whole heart issue!

I know this is a tricky/silly question to be askin the general public, but I certainly won't be able to ask anyone else :(

I live in california. I saw IBM had issued a warning saying when you touch laptop accessories, you are exposed to lead.
(which is known to cause cancer)

So it says wash your hands before eating....

Is this true ?

The link to the article is

I feel it is not practical...Most of the times, i snack. i can't
keep washing my hands each time.....


Is this true ?
