I love sweet teas. I know it's bad with too much sugar. If I make 2 quarts of tea, with 1 cup of sugar, how bad it that per 8 oz?

I have a dream vacation coming up, the only problem is that I always seem to get sick right before I travel. Any recommendations (besides handwashing, good sleeping schedule, eating healthy...all of which I do religiously) to avoid catching something before I go?

This whole diabetes thing seems a bit confusing to me - it seems you can have a mild form of it or on your death bed - can someone sort our 'the grey area' for me please?

For example, how do you know if you are going to the loo excessively or if your eye sight is not as good as it was due to problems with your eyes or some form of diabetes.

Basically what is truth and what is political correctness.

I know everyones body is different and all that, but what are the signs you should really look for and what is chaff - if you are overweight, what are the real danger signals please ?

Sometimes I'm suspicious that the motives of doctors are more about their relationship with the drugs companies than it is with their patients!

My 13 yr old daughter recently had an op on her neck, which has left three very red, "angry" looking scars. The op was done 4 weeks ago. Why are they so red and how long will they take to fade? She is not bothered about it at all but it worries me! I use DiproBase cream three times daily - is there anything I can use to reduce the redness?

just last 2 weeks ago, i found that my bro, who i love dearly had HIV.. my life seems so different, i dun want to lose him, yet im freaking out..
I've been living with him for the past 6 months.. We share food, we share bed, we share drink, even he sometimes used my sruff.. i remember i read a case about a mom, whose son is infected, the mom got infected because the mom help to put some medication on the son's wound. this makes me even freakin out, cause once i remember i help my bro on his wet wound... i know im paranoid, but can i get infected? on the day he know he result, I actually went to test my blood, and the result is non reactive, but im still paranoid..especially when i read that it took 6-12 weeks for the virus to be able to detect.. about 4 weeks ago i got very bad sore throat, and flu like illness too.. even my hubby haa a prolong dry cough for almost 3weeks. i'm very very sad about him know, yet i'm worried so much i'll get infected.. the worst thing, i remember once he use my hubby's razor and get cut, buy my hubby didn't get cut, but guess after sometimes my hubby also use the same razor, can he get infected? he haven't do the blood test tho..

I have been suffering with an extremly bad back for the last 9 weeks. My Dr had been treating it as acute muscle spasm for 7 weeks but now fears I have a prolapsed disc (also pins, needles and numbness in my leg all the way down to my toes) He wants me to have a MRI scan and physiotherapy but could take at least 12 weeks to be seen.
I can't stand the pain and discomfort any more so am thinking of seeing a chiropractor, Has anyone had any experience of them and more importantly do they help.
Thanks.

Im 20 years old and suffer from depression. I went to my doctor asking for help and she told me I was too young to go on anti-depressants. She sent me to a Psychiatrist who made the whole situation worse. I dont know who else to turn to. I've told family and friends I'm so upset and considering suicide, and they just tell me to stop being stupid. I wish I could, but I dont feel like myself any more.
Does anyone have any answers?
Thanks.

I am a chocaholic", though --not regular sweet shop brands, just high quality . Much has been said in recent years, regarding the health benafits, of high cocco dark chocleate., taking this in to account , as I incedentaly have high colestarol, I have been eating mostly dark for many years now.

How ever I recently compered the fat contents, of two bars, one milk the other dark, both well known organic brands) to my suprise, the dark bar had a fat content of 41.1g whille the milk was just 29.7g.

I find this very confusing, dark, is said to be good for the heart, "so how can that be reconciled with higer fat levels?.

"Is it just good for the heart of a person, without high cholestrol .

Teabags !!! Did you also know that there has been a proven link between IBS symptoms and fluoride?? Yikes !! Have a guess what the early warning signs of fluoride toxicity are ?? Yep, gut pain, bloating and cramping, nausea, flatulence, constipation and intermittent diahorrea. Here's the link:-

http://www.fluoridealert.org

Crikey !! They are saying that ingested fluoride is transformed in the stomach to form hydrofluoric acid, which has a corrosive effect on the epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Thirst, headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting and diahhorrea are usual symptoms !! Haemmorrhage in the gastric mucosa and ulceration erosions and edema are common signs of fluoride toxicity !! The source?? Environmental Protection Authority 1999 - Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisonings ....................... Hang on, just gotta get back up off the floor here. Is this saying that they know that fluoride causes severe gastrointestinal problems???..:0)
