I am severly depressed. I have been on Lexapro, Celexa, Cymbalta, Zoloft, Effexor, and probably a few I have left out. I am very obese and need to lose weight. I also smoke, and need to quit, duh. All the other medicines don't seem to help my depression and KILL my sex life. I have been doing some research and I am considering requesting Wellbutrin. I have no history of seizure disorders or any known allergies. I just wanted to get some opinions. I have started going to a therapist, that is starting to help me. I am fortunate enough to be getting married next year and I would love to be able to get my depression under some sort of control. I really need your help. Thanks so much.

Oxidation is regarded as being one of the number one killers in our society today because our bodies react with oxygen to create harmful free radicals. Why is it then that certain "diet pills" regard fatty acid oxidation as being a good thing?

Example: Stearoylethanolamide (SEA) has been shown to decrease food intake independent of PPAR and without changing hematochemical parameters such as glucose and triglyceride levels or leptin (a hormone involved with satiety) expression.
The appetite decreasing effect of SEA was associated with a reduction in liver stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1) mRNA expression. SCD-1 is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fats and its reduction is believed to lead to increased "fatty acid oxidation" and decreased lipogenesis in skeletal muscle and the liver.

I've heard that several types of nuts -- including almonds, walnuts, pistachios and I think one or two others -- contain compounds that help reduce LDL ("bad cholesterol") and/or help raise HDL ("good cholesterol"). In some cases the compounds are monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fats, but I believe I've read of other healthful compounds as well.

What I'd like to know is which nuts are the best at lowering LDLs and/or raising HDLs? If anyone also knows of an actual list that ranks the nuts in ORDER, from the most beneficial to the least beneficial, I'd love if you could share that with me too!! :) Due to a genetic propensity for elevated cholesterol, I want to eat the nuts that will help me the most.

Also, how much of these health benefits are reduced if the nuts are baked or toasted? The reason I ask is because I'm allergic to walnuts, but they only irritate my mouth when RAW. If they're toasted, candied, etc., then they're fine.

Thanks again! :)

I have a female friend who has asked me to fulfill her sexual fantasy of being raped. We've never been intimate, nothing more than than a hug and a kiss on the cheek and I've known her for about 8 years. She's attractive and married andI've wanted to be with her for years but, I'm afraid of loosing the friendship. I'd do anything for her but, I'm afraid she hasn't thought this through. I don't really know where to begin with this. Any thoughts would be appriciated.

to turn against you to?
plus you felt everywhere you went and everything you did, people played mind games with you, insinuated things indirectly at you, mentally taunted you..
how would you handle situation if alot of people did that to you?

im not asking you to answer question and say im paranoid i just would like you to answer the question on how would you deal with this in a positive way?
plus you were recovering from long term trauma and psychological problems, so you wanted to fit in in society make friends, basically just overcome your adversity. you had ambitions of relocating from your country to a hot place..you had goals you wanted to reach.
so something occuring like this could really get you mad and upset..feeling as though you were being socially ostracized.

plus you were sensitive, so what people did and said could easily upset and make you annoyed.
baring in mind you had never made any friendships in life because of psyche problems.
so how could you deal

I have a pain at the base of my skull on the right side. My head aches when I lay down. It feels like a bruise when I touch it but I have not banged it. It feels as though there is a swelling. It has been there for some weeks and seems to be getting worse. I keep thinking that if I forget it it will go away, but sleeping is difficult. Will it just go away?

I eat better and workout 4 times a week. I have enjoyed lifting weights but would like to supplement my workouts. Currently I drink an EAS Myoplex sports drink (lite) after each workout. I am curious if there is any supplement for muscle building or enhancement I could safely take. I'm not a body builder, but would like to continue to develop my upper body. Anybody have any suggestions?
