Health - 3 July 2007

My friend's daughter is 11 and already has her period. It is summer and they go swimming a lot but my friend won't let her wear even the smallest tampons. I know the girl is responsible enough, and they have even talked to a doctor that ok'd it, but my friend is still not allowing her to wear them. I was 11 when I started wearing them. I have not let my friend know that I think she is being over bearing because it is not my kid, but I also don't think it is fair for the daughter not to swim because of her mom's insecurity.

My best friend sufferes a lot from stuttering although i never think that he should make a big deal out of it. Every person sometimes forget what to say or just stutter because our brain shuts down for a while. He sufferes because he says sometimes he wants to say something, but he can't and it makes his life a hell! What should i tell my friend and what should he do?

The blood test results have confirmed the lack of periods is caused by the menopause.
The doctor advised "I DON'T THINK SO"

I don't know why everywhere on the internet they say it is healthy,natural,normal......blablabla...?!!
my personal experience taught me that it makes me feel tired, unbalanced, acne, dark spot under the eyes, affects sports....etc.
and it takes so much time to recover to normal full health, i think it takes over 2 months....
the occurrence of wet dreams takes more than 2 months after stop masturbation.
i prefer to forget about it and do something else when i feel horny
aren't wet dreams the natural way instead of masturbation?
what do you say?

Like most people who have tried dieting for years but have gotten nowhere I have decided to go on the "cabbage soup diet" (google it) but upon googling it there is a mountain of critisisms saying that you just put the weight back on because your metabolism gets quite negatively affected but I was considering going on this 7 day diet plan to lose a few quick pounds which will get me motivated for sure but then after that diversify my meals to more protein and vitamins but continue with the fruit and vegetable core of most diets with 45 mins of aerobic exercise for 4 times a week with 2 days weight training. I figure that this will prevent me putting the weight on again and gradually increase my metabolism back to its original levels.

Does anyone have any idea if this will work or there is nothing that can be done to prevent putting the weight back on due to the lack of calories for 7 days?
Thanks

I had my regular scheduled period for its normal 5 days, and then a week later, I got it again. It's still going, 10 days later, and what scares me is that the amount of blood is still the same as when it started. Not heavy, not light, no clotting. The color started out brown, now it looks freshly red. My boyfriend of 4 years has had a vasectomy, so I cant be pregnant. Can someone please let me know if this will pass, or if I should schedule an appt. I don't have health insurance and I cant really afford a doctors visit right now if its not neccessary.

in this day & age i find it rather disturbing that a factory can mix a load of poison chemicals together & add them to tabbaco leaf then sell them to the public who will inhale this poisen into their lungs.

ive been a smoker for 10 yrs, iam in the process of quiting.
two days without a ciggie & iam already feeling the benefits of a non smoker (food tastes great, feeling 100% fitter,
no coughing, teeth getting whiter & breath smelling fresh....my question is, do you think the days of smoking will be a thing of the past in years to come

i asked for help with this earlier and i got awesome answers but would like more input-this is a new and very hard situation for me.

i've been dating my bf for almost 3 years now and we've had our ups and downs (broken up a few times). about 3 months ago we found out what the problem was-i have PMDD (pre menstrual dysphoric disorder). it causes me to have horrible mood swings,crying spells,irritability,and major depression about a week before my period starts and then it disappears after i start my period. i was put on yaz birth control for it.

this month was a big problem though b/c i'm a single mom of 3 and the pills aren't covered on my insurance and it costs 50 bucks a pop. i wasn't able to get the pills last month so about a week before my period (which started today) my symptoms came back and it was the worst it's ever been!!

i was so horrible to my bf for 4 days straight-blaming him for things he wasn't doing (but i thought he was due to my hypersensitivity).

I am looking to trim down but maybe 5-6 pounds.

If I cut out sugar, will that help? I drink alot of tea and don't like it without sweetness - should I try sweeteners?

I would like ideas for breakfast, snacks and packed lunches that are healthy and good for losing weight.

I don't eat any fast foods.

I don't often drink fizzy drinks but I sometimes crave Cocal Cola. Do the Diet and Zero fizzy drinks actually work? Are they really lower fat?

Is soya milk more fattening than cow's milk?

What kinds of foods should I be cutting out of my diet? Bread, potatoes, cheese...??
