You know, white or brown, turbinado... People eat a lot of sugar, but I wanted to know if the body ever uses it, or if it is simply a toxin (which I know it is in large amounts). Is sugar a toxin in small amounts, too?

I have a chronic cough .I have been to the Doctor 3 times ,The emergency room once because my chest hurt so bad and the Dr said it was acute bronchitus.Meanwhile I have already gone through 3 rounds of antibiotics because each time I go thats what they give me. I have to work a full time job and I missed all of last week because I kept coughing and I was very exhausted. I really have 3 questions #1 Tomorrow at work Im scheduled for a flu shot is this ok? #2 Do any professionals out there know anything about this Bronchitus hanging on and on like this? lastly Does anyone know of anything that may help ?I will even consider natural cures as antibiotics dont seem to help that much. I do seem to get a little better for a while but I never stop coughing and feeling tired.The chest pain has subsided mostly. I guess Im desperate.Maybe somebody knows something. Thankyou all

Ok, I been having these sharp pains on the left side of my chest since I was a kid. They stopped for a long time, then they start coming back to me.

Its like a sharp, intense pain that all of a sudden comes to the left side of my chest. I think it has something to do with my heart because if I breath in, the pain becomes more intense.
It would even lower a little bit on my left side.

Like right now, Im going through it. I cant breath in deep for right now. These usually last for a few minutes. It makes me feel like I cant move or the pain will come.

My mom told me before that its because Im breathing in to much oxygen, but I dont get it.

Whats up with this?

A staff infection people are referring to as mercer is spreading rapidly around the area in which I live. A school in another city has been shut down after 2 children died from this virus. I work in a pharmacy and have had parents comming in after leaving from days at the hospital with their small children to pick up prescription...and its really scaring me!!! What can I do, besides the obvious, to prevent getting this and bringing it home to me 1 year old?

Any suggestions I may not be thinking of?

Hello,

I am playing pick up soccer once or twice the week. In the last 3-4 months I felt a kind of stiffness in my right knee. At the beginning I felt only that my movement was not as usual and during the game I did not feel anything. In the last 3-4 weeks I feel during the night pain in my right knee which goes away during they day. I am not limited in what I am doing and when I rest my knee for a longer time it feels fine. But I recognized after playing soccer that the pain always comes back during the night for one or two days. Then it disappears .... Any ideas?

Of course I plan this week to get it checked!

Thx, Roman

I woke up at four in the morning because he punched me really hard in the middle of my back. He kept his fist out and in my back until I said, "Stop! You're hurting me!" I started crying because it hurt so bad! He feels awful about it and has been apologizing all day. Is there any way to help him sleep soundly without flailing around?

My son started out with one spot on his face that kept getting bigger and bigger and then he got another spot a month later.. now he has two or three more spots.. but they're only on his face. We got referred to a dermatologist and she swabbed it but it was mostly just blood that she got out, no pus or anything, but they checked for an infection and said there was none and that his skin would just grow over it. Well, its NOT going away and his skin is NOT growing over it, its getting WORSE! So we went back to the pediatrician and he gave us more bactracin cream but that was it. He said it should be gone by December or else we're going to have to talk surgery to remove all of them and my son will have scars all over his face. I do NOT want him to have surgery... what should I do??? Also, he took an antibiotic for about 3 months and it did absolutely nothing. Thank you for all of your help and please pray for my son, I think it hurts his little face!

I'm a 24-year-old college student, and over the summer my parents found out I smoke marijuana and gave me a couple urine tests. I decided to stop smoking completely for the entire summer (without any difficulty, I must add), so I passed both tests. Now I'm back at school and smoking a few times a week, but I'm concerned my parents may test me again when I come home for Thanksgiving. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to test negative, in case they test me again. I'm willing to stop smoking again until Thanksgiving if it comes down to that, but I want to see what other options I have. A local head shop sells a drink called Detoxify, which they say diverts the THC metabolites into your colon or something so that it won't show up in your urine for a few hours. That sounds good, but I'm not sure if it's 100% reliable, and I heard some tests can detect these drinks, although the people at that head shop say it won't show up because it doesn't mask the THC. Any advice?

I have been diagnosed with mild depression and an anxiety disorder. I have been perscribed medicine, but it made me very ill so I refuse to take it. However I am plagued with thoughts that my girlfriend cheats on me and I check behind her on everything to find signs. She has done everything in her power to show me that she is not cheating and does not want to be with anyone else. However I become extremely jealous sometimes and do outrageous things to try and find her lying. If she does not answer her phone, I continue to call it. Sometimes I shake unrepeatedly and cannot stop crying, just because she is not answering her phone. This is destroying our relationship and I do not know how to make these unfounded thoughts disappear. She loves me more than anything and does EVERYTHING to show she is not cheating. If someone looks at her I am overcome with jealousy and rage. Please help me. Is this part of my anxiety disorder? What can I do to make these thoughts go away?

The reason I ask is because I really never knew what they were before. I asked my boyfriend if he ever gets "white things" from his throat, if they ever come into his mouth. (like coughing them up) he said no. it's a little weird onlyl because he said he didn't get them, and now, he gets them. Any ideas?

This started out just under my left nipple, but i have found that it has gone to my right too. Im 13 years old, if that affects anything. I thought either puberty or im just growing...but it is scaring me slightly with the thoughts of cancer lol. The left used to be huge, but it has gone down a bit. The right is now GIANT, and seems to still be growing. The left has pretty much stayed the same for a few weeks. Ive had this thing for like a month or two.

I'm trying to remember about something I saw years ago about mental disorders for the story I' m writing but am not sure if it actually is like this.

Not strong symptoms, but here they are:
This patient can most of the time live a normal life but there are sometimes when he sort of fades out from reality, starts to hallucinate of being another person totally different from who he is; mostly when he is alone.
Sometimes these ideas interfere with his life but he tries to block them.

Is there a name for this???
