Health - 29 August 2007

It has been proven that a human being grows until the age of 18. Unless the patient is an extreme case, one should not diet until they reach the age of 18. Of course, this is because a teenager and child need calories and nutrients to supplement healthy growing.

As I searched through this section, I have seen many inappropriate diet advice to questions asked by teenagers. Do you have any benefit to make a teenager to be triggered into a disordered eating cycle? I hardly thought so.

How are we to stop this bad advice being given on this site?

My husband needs a complete mouth makeover. Some of his adult teeth never grew in and the partial for those teeth needs to be redone (bottom front two teeth). There are gaps between some teeth, and he needs caps/veneers on his top two front teeth. He definitely needs whitening and cavities filled in as well. Does anyone know an approximate cost for all of this? I know it will vary greatly but I'd just like a very general amount to have in mind. We do not have dental insurance. Thanks.

I was put on 20mg. of Focalin XR this week for ADD. I take it at 8am along with Wellbutrin 150mg and Prozac 40mg. It seems to help some but NOT all day . . . maybe until about 4pm. Does drinking coffee have any negative effect??

So many women today think that they are so independent, and they say they do'nt ever need a man in their lives. But yet all still seem to be getting breast implants, starve themselves, dye their hair. For other women no way. Whey do you think they feel the need to do this?

I get really horrible menstrual cramps. I've tried virtually every remedy in the book. Some have worked but due to my work schedule I either forget to do them or the timing has become inconsistant. I refuse to take painkillers. So I'm thinking about going on birth control.
I've asked my previous doctor but he said no because he said that they're just too risky. I'm 21, I don't drink or smoke and I've never had kids. My own grandmother has now begged me not to go on birth control. Now I'm thinking about asking my new doctor. What are the risks to taking birth control? I always thought I was a low risk person. I don't plan on being on birth control forver. Just while I'm in grad school so the cramps don't get in my way.

Whenever I drink it, it makes my stomach hurts really bad a few minutes after drinking it... I haven't had it in a few years but I tried some today to see if I still had that reaction and I did.

Obviously, I shouldn't drink it, but what could be causing this reaction?

I was just told by a cardiologist that I have a bicuspid aortic valve. I am 25 and have never been told this before. No one has ever head any thing wrong with my heart and I had an ECOcardio done 7 years ago and nothing was found. Why now, 7 years later after a new ECo did they suddenly see this? I figure this means that I have always had this but it seems to be making itself noticable now.
I went to the doc in the first place because I recently starting having palpitations.

Well I just took midol for the first time. It kicked in really fast, but now I am shaky and feeling weak. I know they contain alot of caffine and i rarely have chocolate or hot chocolate and I never drink coffee. Am I like this because Of the caffine? Or is it just a side effect? I ate 2 pieces of toast with cheese whiz about 3 hours ago and I just ate one of those nature vally trail mix bars. So it is not from a lack of food (and I making lunch right now so I am not starving myself). Please help me out.
