i use sheep placenta cream to lighten the skin on my arms hands and upper chest area. i notice a change in color on my wrist then my hands. showing that its not working on my hands and working on my arms. does anyone have any good suggestions? i avoid being under the sun as much as possible and when i do i use a parasole (its like an umbrella but made for sun shade). so i dont get why my hands are still as dark as the day i started (or so it seems) .

You hear things about not mixing carbohydrates with proteins, and no raw food with cooked food. It all gets terribly confusing.

Since straining ligaments in both my ankles doing taekwondo on the same day I have not trained in 5 weeks. I have noticed after about a week I was waking up with sore feet, sometimes after getting out of my car it's the same. Someone has sugested this could be crystals forming due to lack of exercise? is this the case? what can I do about it?

I have moderate muscle mass but my body fat is covering it up!! I think it is about 1cm thick. Is it advisable to burn fat by having low weight but high reps workout or cardio? any workout or exercise plans that can burn my fat fast?

Besides, can anyone suggest some diet plans for me? what kind of food is recommended and what is not?

I have just recovered from H-Pylori. But with the sickness and without it now I still can not eat! I get hunger pangs maybe twice a week. I can go two days on a banana. I gained twenty pounds from NOT eating. I'm trying to lose the weight ( i'm only 27) and I can't lose it. I have tried eating little bit at a time, but I'm FULL all the time. I need to lose this weight. I need to be healty again. I'm the only person who gains wait from not eating. I eat only protein shakes and bananas. I may have soup twice a week. I cannot live like this. In order to speed up my metabolism and digest food again what do I need to do?. Should I re instate good bacteria from a probiotic regiment?. Take enzyme pills?. Any advice. I'm at my wits end. It's my high school reunion in two weeks! Not to mention I hate feeling full like I ate a 5 course meal and all I had was a glass of milk!

My mom has a disorder that causes an unnatural, uncontrollable urge to control EVERYTHING around her, or, not even around her. From how and when the grass is cut, to what is going on in MY bank account, to what my husband does and if SHE thinks it's important..........I know moms can be nosey, but this is insane. She has a thing with calling her bank ten, fifteen times a day and figuring and re-figuring the money she has. There are DOZENS of papers on her table that are literally COVERED with numbers from her figuring her finances. I know she probably has OCD to say the least, I myself suffer from BPD plus a few other things, but what should I search on the internet for and bring to her attention that she may want to go to the doctor for? She knows she might have a small problem, but she really doesn't see the severity of it. Maybe if I give her some possibilities, she might want to look into it further. I don't want to diagnose her, just open her eyes and maybe a few doors.

It first starts in my jaw where it feels like a tiny dried pea that travels down my neck, then an acid-like feeling spreads out over my chest where it burns really bad. I later found out if I drink something and swallow really hard, it goes away.
Sometimes it comes on when I'm in humidity, around heat, or when my spine hurts. Sometimes it comes on when I'm asleep, sometimes it comes on for no reason at all. The burning feels like acid traveling down my neck and across my chest. I have to get something to drink, or I'm in a world of hurt!!
It can't be heartburn because it starts in my jaw and travels down. It can't be a heart attack because heart attacks don't go away by drinking something and swallowing hard; and besides, this has been happening to me for 15 years.
Does anyone have a clue what causes this? Sometimes it comes on several times in a short time, sometimes weeks can go by without this happening.
Thank you in advance.

Initially this was caused by a car accident maybe 7 years ago. Went to a Chiropractor for 3 Years, and no improvement, really. The pain originates where the right shoulder blade connects to the spine. There's a joint here, I think. It cracks easily and will crack back and forth, eventually causing pain as the inflammation increases. Sometimes the pain translates and radiates to other areas, namely my right hip and side... Sometimes my right arm, hand hurt. My right hand's fingertips go numb sometimes. Sometimes it gets worse when I sleep, sometimes better. Is there no solution? I also like to Bench Press, so I'm sure any answer is going to tell me to stop that. But I can almost Bench 400lbs.

How would this affect a man's overall health? Recently there was a story about a California (USA) man who went in for surgery to have an unhealthy testicle removed and the wrong one was taken off. What health problems, if any, will he have when both of them are gone? (Besides pyscological issues, I mean.)

I've been doing 45-60 minutes of cardio and 45-60 minutes of weight training daily. I am currently 5'9" and 170. FEMALE. Trying to lose weight from a pregnancy 7 MONTHS AGO ! LOL I've started working out every night cardio and weight training. My intake is about 2000 calories a day. I think I burn off about 1000 during my workout. No breaks but a whole lot of water. Is it possible for me to drop 20-30 lbs in two months with a daily workout routine like this. I really enjoy going to the gym. And eating healthy is second nature to me. I have 10lbs before I reach my prepregnancy weight. I cant fit into my pants before the baby. They come up mid thigh thats it. At 160, I look pretty average... not the least bit chunky but would like to be 150 just in case.... If I stick to my workout routine and my eating habits..... can I reach my goal????? I was 115 almost 7 years ago ... and I NEVER want to be that skinny again. Just 150. THANKS A BUNCH YALL!

I'm really worried about my mum, she has been overweight all my life and i really want to help her. i've asked her to find out tell me how much she weighs but she won't do that because she doesn't want to know. we only just recently lost my grandma (her MUM) at age 63, due to something that could have been prevented by healthy eating etc, and i really don't want to lose my mum that early (she's 46 now) coz i'd really be lost without her, but she just doesn't seem to care. also she and my dad have only just moved to QLD so it makes it hard to do the stuff we used to do like walk around the block or play tennis or whatever. i just need something to help her see that i'm only doing this because i care!
sorry for the length of this but i'm really lost
thanks in advance

Do you usually sit or stand more often? Is your work past fast, average, or relaxed? Stressful or pressured?

My mother died in December 2005 and he is living by himself. He has always been manic depressive, but never this bad.

-He has shown an increasing amount of violence towards me (getting so angry he was jumping up and down, spitting, and pulling on my scarf around my throat - about a very small issue, among many many other things)

-His vision of reality is very warped (he thinks his 45 year old sister is going to have a Messiah baby by her ex-mafia, now dead-of-diabetes boyfriend, and they have no proof she's pregnant, for just one example)

-He is obsessed with doing everything as quickly as possible, many times putting others' lives in danger. (out of character)

-He won't listen to anyone; anyone who has a difference of opinion, over things big and small, is negative. Even people he trusted before.

How do I get him to get his meds checked when he thinks he's doing the best he's ever done? How can I help this man? He is on a rushing train towards destruction of some sort!

Ok, I am 4'14 inches and weigh about 100 pounds, I want to put on more weight but my problem is everytime i try to do this, the weight just settles on my tummy and no where else!! I eat healthy, do not eat fried foods, eat lean protein and complex carbs...like lean grilled chicken breasts and cold cuts on whole wheat etc , I do weight training for 4 days a week, and walk at a moderate pace for 1 hr everyday, try and do what I might, I am not able to put on the weight in the correct places except for the stomach area!!! I am kinda upset about this and this makes me avoid stuff like cheeses and pizzas as I am scared I might put on even more weight in the bely region!! does anyone have suggestions to gain weight in a healthy area and still maintain a good figure without it all going to the belly? please help and thanks in advance.
