Health - 24 September 2007

I have just had my braces taken off and I noticed that my 2 front teeth do not make any contact with the lower teeth when I bite together. I can clearly put a finger in the gap under the tip of my 2 front teeth.

Does this mean I have a open bite? My dentist has not even mentioned anything about this...but I do know (my own opinion) that the 2 front teeth seem to protrude abit. However, people I have talked to about this have said its in my mind and they do not protrude.

ok I see alot of ppl who starve themselves say they are gaining weight. But would you always gain weight, like is that a fact??.... Alot of the responses are that your body has held on to every ounce of food you put in it cuz it thinks it may never get another meal......well cant you just burn that fat its holding onto off?? Or is exercise not gonna do any good??......up until that point.

I personally think the majority is because of all of the nuclear weapons we have tested, I mean, the radiation has to go somewhere and affect something, it can't be coincidence that cancer has risen so much since these weapons were tested, can it? your thoughts please.

I have had Endometriosis since I was 15. I have been taking the pill since then too. My condition is getting worse and I need help to control it. I have no insurance and make less then $14,000 a year. Natural remedies cost less, but I dont know if any work. I have all the major symptoms and am almost always in pain. I am only 21, but the pain is causing me to not live like a normal 21yr old. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I am 22 years old...5'8" tall....and I weigh 165 lbs. I want to lose 30 lbs before next summer comes. I don't have the money to pour into these weight loss plans and groups and diet pills and remedies!! I have to do it the old fashion way. So here is the diet I am thinking.

Breakfast: 1 orange and a glass of 1% milk
Snack: Homemade Fruit Smoothie
Lunch: 1 can of Progresso Soup (I love these!!!!)
Snack: Cheese Slices with Crackers and lowfat Ranch
Dinner: 500 calorie meal
Late Night Snack: 1 orange and a glass of 1% milk

And if I exercise atleast 30 minutes a day on an eliptical machine.

Do you think I can lose 1-2 pounds a week with this diet or am I dreaming? I really want to lose weight but I don't want to have to go to extremes. Please give me your honest opinion. I appreciate all your help and tips. Thanks!!!

I work in a hospital and on occasion there are AIDs patients and a few HIV patients. It seems that with the PC campaign about the disease, I think people have forgotten how cruel that disease can be. People with HIV have to make frequent trips to the hospital, take loads of medication, and it is expensive. AIDs is another story. I wouldn't wish advanced stages on my worst enemy.

1. If you are using Viagra do you stay erect after orgasm (if so how long after).
2. Viagra (and other ED drugs) seem to be popular subjects in Men's Health, is ED really that prevalent among younger men. I am assuming that it is younger men writing/reading this forum.

I've been having a lot of mental health issues over the past year. It has ranged from mood swings, long periods of depression, ups and downs but the downs have been LOW--scraping the bottom feeling hopeless. I was on birth control (Alesse) and Lexapro (20 mg) for about 6 months. I felt out of control and nuts. I've decided (against medical opinion) to stop putting any drugs into my body and instead of seeking further medical attention--concentrating on my mind and spirit through meditation, music and working out.

I still plan to see a counselor on a bi-weekly basis.

Do you think that we can control our "mental" problems with natural help?

My girlfriend was recently diagnosed as hiv positive. She nor I was aware she was Hiv positive till about 5 days ago. I am testing negative. But the thing is the doctors said she only has 4 t-cells. Does that mean she has had Hiv for a long time or could her t-cell number get that low in just about 3 months?

I've heard that grapefruit effects estrogen. But all of the information I've found is conflicting.
I've read somewhere that it increases it and I read somewhere else that it keeps you from metabolizing it. So my question is, if it increases it and keeps you from metabolizing it then where does it go? lol.. How does it effect your reproductive organs and such. Does it overdose then or underdose them?

My son has been insulin sependent since he was 8 years old. He's now 23. The last year he has been having terrible problems with control. He is having sudden and unexpected hypoglycemic reactions. There are no symptoms at all of an episode coming on.

Today is was suggested he go to the insulin pump. We have an appointment next week to see about this (we can;t get one before) He can test and be fine, but just minutes later his sugar plumits and he's unconcious.

Can you please give us some info on how the insulin pump has worked for you? Pro's cons (I know cost is a big con, but his life is at stake)

I'm just terrified i'm going to lose my son.

Although in my 50's I participate in motocross. Sometimes, I suffer terrible cramp afterwards. It usually occurs some 4-6 after I've finished an event. Normally happens if I stand up after sitting or lying down for a while in the evening.I can only describe the pain as excrutiating, and I get it in my inner thigh muscle. What's the best way to prevent it?
