ok so in no way am i wanting to attempt this, this is simply for a paper i am writing on anorexics for my college class. i am unable to find any info with numbers anywhere! i just need numbers. how much weight is typically lost in the first month or months of anorexia. no where online can give me an answer, obviously cause they dont want nobody to try it. so if anyone knows or has some sort of idea, i would appreciate, it is becoming very frustrating trying to find out.

I am in calculus 3 and the chapter on vectors (cross product) one of the properties is:
u x v = 0 if and only if u + v are scalar multiples of each other

I need to prove u x v = 0

A hint we have is:
u x v = 0
assume -> deriv ; and then take it back the other way.

When I drink 27oz. of water I urinate every 10 to 15 minutes, do you think I should get this checked out. It also happens with beer and coffee.

Hi, all day i've been feeling sick. I was sick this morning but since then it's been coming out the other end.

I've felt too sick to eat all day, but i've been drinking water; and now all thats coming out is a kind of cloudy grey gooey liquid every time I go to toilet which is usually every 10-15 minutes.

I can't go out the house to see a Dr. and he won't do a home visit because apparently it's not serious enough.

I still feel ill but I just don't know what to do. I can't stop going to the toilet and every time I walk more than 10 paces I have to go too. It's been like this for about 11 hours and i'm sure I won't be able to sleep tonight.

What should I do? How can I stop it from going in and then coming straight back out in 10 minutes. I can't just not drink anything...

Any suggestions please?

I just got chicken pox about 2 days ago and I was wondering if anyone knows of a cream to put on to prevent chicken pox scars... I have a scar cream and I was thinking of trying that, but does anyone know of anything that works good?

I have been told in the past that I would need to wear my contacts for at least three hours before I went in for an eye exam. At my last exam, the doctor was upset when I had reinserted lenses within that time period after I had some irritation, and refused to give me a new prescription. I have an exam tomorrow with a new OD, and the receptionist told me that there is no requirement for me to wear my contacts at all prior to the exam. I am only an occassional contact wearer who wears daily-wear disposable soft contacts; she said they normally only ask those with rigid gas-permeable lenses to _not_ wear them for a few _days_ prior. She also didn't seem confident in her answer, and she didn't seem to think it was an issue either way. What do you think?

I had a sex toy that I used for a few months (not too regularly), and after a few months it would burn when I used it. I found out you're not supposed to clean it with soap and water but with an actual vibrator cleaner, so I threw it out and baught a new one and a cleanser for it. Now the same thing has happened after a few months with the new one. I always clean it afterwards, and I don't think it's an allergic reaction because it always takes a few months for the burning sensation to occur. Any advice or anyone with a similar experience?

Bits and strips of skin just below the cuticles keep tearing or peeling (however you can call this) a bit once in a while, at first causing minor bleeding and then staying red and hurting when in contact with water for a few days.
I believe that everything outside our body are signs of what is happening inside it. So does anyone have an idea of what this might mean? Maybe there's a shortage of some nutrients or vitamins? Does the fact that I recently (well, a few years ago) stopped eating meat can contribute, for e.g. if I don't get enough protein...?
Any clues?

I pulled a lot of muscles in cheering yesterday. They hurt really bad and I have cheering tomorrow morning. What can I do to either make them heal faster or relieve them for a long time?

---- well here's the first question : does mastubation make you crave more for girls or less ? in other words; let's suppose you just masturbated and went out, will you gaze more at girls or less than when you don't masturbate ? will you find a girl more sexually attractive when you masturbate or when you don't ?
(my english is somehow poor so i try to make my question as clear as possible)
---- the second question is : Does the amount of semen in the testicles have anything to do with the libido ? (because when i don't ejaculate for a long time i feel more desire for sex)
thanks in advance !!!!!!
