My acupuncturist said my pancreas was out of whack... (and my gall bladder) I've been looking for websites on info and getting frustrated with it. Anyone know anything about this, or have a good website to go to? I'm looking for ways to boost their functioning.
Thanks!

I'm eating it as a work "snack" and it's all I can do not to gag on it and barf it all back up. It has a nastiness to it that I can't describe. Normally I love Maple & Brown sugar regular oatmeal.

Anyone eating it and losing weight? Or eating it and not losing weight? I don't want to keep making my self nauseous if it's never going to make me skinny!

Unlike farm-raised salmon, which i know is fed junk and antibiotics. I ask because I'm reading in a San Diego health guide that says not to eat farm raised salmon but that FR tilapia is OK. Anyone know about this?

I know the locals will be skiddish at first, but I hope to teach them about the ways of floss and toothbrush, and that toothpaste is really nothing to fear.

Ive been wondering about getting the hpv vaccine gardasil. Ive read somewhere it is being available to 12-13 year old girls in schools soon as it is most effective in women who are not yet sexually active.
I find its a bit unfair it is not targeted to older women who are not sexually active!
My question is does anyone know if a gp can offer it if you request it and state you are not yet sexually active.
Also i have searched on the net and have found a local gp offering the vaccination for women upto the age of 26, which means i am eligible. It is £150 per dose and you need 3 doses. If you were financially able to, would you get the vaccination?
Here is the site link:

There's a human body generator/simulator where you can input height, weight, etc, and it will make a model of what it would look like. Does anybody have the link to this? :]

I want to get an idea of what I'll look like after I reach my goal weight.

Hi,

Have you ever been tired and tried to fall asleep, and while you were you already started dreaming, then something startled you and you feel like you are falling? If you have, do you know why?

My bf is having chest pains. He doesn't have pain in his left arm, no numbness or pain in his jaw, the pain is an ache that occurs every 30 seconds or so. Breathing different ways doesn't affect the pain. Touching and compressing with my hands doesn't do anything either, good or bad. He says that the pain has lasted about 18 hours. His stool is normal, he doesn't have heartburn, headache, nor a stomach ache. Please give me an idea of what is going on and how urgent this is????? My mom will be home in about an hour....can it wait that long?

I just saw today a gray hair!

The thing is, my dad didn't get grays until he was 50! My mom when she was 45!

WTF is happening??

Super worried.

Is this a sign of a disease??

Thanks.
