I am 19 and was often sick bladder infections and I often had a cold. I took about 25 times antibiotic pills. I read, when you take antibiotics too often, it is harmful. Is this true? How does it harm you?

I have a cold now, coughing, bronchitis, mucous spitting, soar throat. I am scared to take antibiotic again.

Is there anything homeopathic available to treat bacteria?

-fatfree plain yogurt with strawberries in sauce or fat free softserve in a cone?
-what is the best type of juice to drink? and what do certain ones do for you?
-also... what are the healthiest type of eggs? (ex- sunny side up, scrambled, omlet?)
-and this... is it not worth it to eat a salad if you use regular ranch, a little cheese and croutons? with veggies also, or would it be healthier to eat pasta or sandwich?

:) thanks

Alright, I'm 5'4", 19 years old, 130 lbs. I eat at the most 1600 calories a day, I have heard a lot about eating more than you burn to gain muscle but I'm afraid to do that. I was wondering if anyone knows if I could do that and still lose fat. I was thinking a good plan would be to eat no more than 2000-2400 on weightlifting days and eat my regular 1600 on cardio days(with less carbs than weightlifting days of course.)

I'm not saying that I'm going to take them, and I'm not really into hearing that diet and exercise work best, because I know this already. All I want to know is what diet pills contain the most ephedra. Also, where could one buy them? (Preferably in a store and not on the internet, but either will work.)

What should I do for the best. I really am in such a dilema. I totally believe them, however dont know what to do. Is it the Police, GP, or what ?
Thank You

I hooked up with a guy for the first time on the weekend. The sex was great, but it was taking him a while to *** (he did have a few drinks). Finally he said he was going to *** but he didn't get really... whats the word.... loud and forceful like other guys I've been with. I asked him if he came and he said he did, but I'm wondering if he "faked it"? My question is are guys mostly loud and forceful when they ejaculate or can they be quiet? He kind of just thrusted deep a few times and that was it... no intense hip action like and his body didn't tense up. But the day after I was really wet sticky down there so it made me wonder if he actually did ***?

I fell on my leg yesterday and my right knee is killing me. It hurts on the inside of my knee (not the kneecap). There's no swelling or discoloration but I can't walk without limping and it's worse if I sit for a while and then try to walk. It hurts all the way to my hip but the sharp pain is at the knee. I have an ortho appointment tomorrow. With no swelling could it be serious? I've heard some knee injuries require surgery.

Hi, I am a 16 girl. I had never had sex before. Last summer, my period has suddenly stopped until now. I am actually quite content with not having to worry about bloodied pants... etc. The only problem I have is with my parent. They urge me to go and see the doctor. I do not see the point, because I experience no pain etc. I had been to the doctor asking about this problem for about twice, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He assumed that it was normal. Now, my parents want me to have my vagina checked. I'm really embarrassed by the fact. If you are me, what would you do. *sigh*
