Everytime I brush my teeth, my gums bleed. I do have a toothbrush with hard bristles. However, if there is a chance of gingivitus I would like to get it fixed.

I read the ingredients, but nothing I see matches the hype in the Ovaltine commercials. Am I missing something?

Two questions--answer both please.

If you dont know what "Rho^2" is, (the statistic relating attribution of a phenomonen to the causal variable) it is, you can still answer.

When a person lifts weights and takes steroids, what percentage of the increase in muscle mass is purely attributed to taking just the steroids? That is--how much muscle mass can someone gain simply by taking steroids, without exercising? (keeping overall body mass constant, to avoid the confusion of increasing muscle mass simply by increasing your body weight by overeating).

If I weigh 200, and take steroids for 6 weeks, and after six weeks I do not exercise, and I control my diet, so that I still weigh 200 at the end of 6 weeks. How much muscle mass did I gain, and at the expense of what other type of tissue?

I dont care about the dosage, but lets speculate 40 mg / day of dianabol.

2nd Q--why does steroids supposedly accelerate or cause cancer? (liver I heard specifically)

When I was about 9 years old I started gaining weight, and I was in 4th grade. I'm currently going into 7th grade and I hate being the fat kid. Nobody teases me about it or says anything about it, but I just want to be able feel comfortable with myself. I am 5'2 and weigh around 140 pounds. I used to go to martial arts, but stopped that a few months ago. I occasionally play tennis. I am also planning on signing up for lacrosse during the next school year. I also never eat junk food, my parents are complete health-nuts. And since I have food allergies I can't have the many sweets that have soy or nuts. I also never snack. I do play a video game on my computer, I used to play for hours a day, but now I don't even play every day and I continue to gain weight. I have tried the workout tapes, and the doctor says it has nothing to do with my diet. Nothing seems to be working... How do I lose this extra weight?

I met Jack (not his name) in high school (I'm in college now). He was always very awkward and tended be rather annoying, but I tried my best to be patient. I used the grin and bear it approach: that worked until about 9mos when a friend of his committed suicide and Jack turned to me. I just reminded Jack that he is loved and there is definitely a purpose to his life as he was worrying me that he might commit suicide. So basically I tried to help him get through this, but I'm pretty sure that he fantasizes that we're in love now (he's schizophrenic and I am NOT in love with him). He texts me, emails me, calls me, tries to see me multiple times daily!! He tells me that he can tell anything to me and loves me. I try my best to be a friend, but not lead him on, but he won't take 'no' for an answer! He tells me that he can't control himself and I'm concerned about my own safety/sanity.Since I live close to him I'm afraid to block him because he'll just show up at my house. Any ideas? TY!

I just turned 24 years old. I am an athlete and have been athlete since I was 10 years old. I'm generally an active person. I run a lot, breakdance, and participate in a lot of sport activities.


Here's my problem: Sometimes when I initiate a sudden burst of activity like breakdancing or jumping in the air in excitement (as an example) I am overwhelmed by a sudden loss of energy that last for about 10-15 seconds. My body feels drained all of a sudden and my face muscles seem to paralyze. (ex. It is hard to open my mouth, can't move my tongue, eyes get droopy, and shoulders slouch)

This doesn't happen often at all and it doesn't really bother me but I first realized it when I was an early teen and I've always wondered what causes this. I've never had any aparent health issues or concerns. Could this be my first?

Tonight while at Wal-mart, my 5 year-old daughter was talking with another girl. She saw her again while I was waiting in line to check out. After about 5 min. of my daughter talking to this other little girl, her mom turned around and asked if that was my girl. I said yes, and she tells me, you might keep her away, she(her daughter) has a staph infection. Nice to know after a total of 10-15 min. with my girl right next to her. So how easy is it for it to spread? They didn't touch eachother, but they touched a lot of the same things. I can't understand why she would have her daughter in such a public place. So do I have anything to worry about? Thanks for your help.
