My teeth are not 'yellow' but I want them really white. I've tried the White glo home kit which sucked.
Im thinking of saving up to have it professionally done, but has anyone actually done this and achieved significant results from it? If yes, tell me which product/method you used pls!!

I am SO afraid of blood and needles. I've never had my blood drawn from my arm in my life and I am 28 years old! Silly, I know.

Well, the time has come that I need a small procedure to be done. It will involve an IV and I am PETRIFIED. I don't mean little fear- I mean fainting, hysterics, the works. I'm otherwise a very rational person. Very few people know I have this horrible phobia. It's quite embarassing.

Have any of you overcome this specific phobia? How? Please don't write and just tell me to just get over it. Really, I would if I could! I am in counseling to get over it. What techniques or treatments worked for you? Please help!!

Thanks so much and I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!

After reading these statements taken from reputable websites:

“While moderate amount of alcohol can cause blood sugar to rise, excess alcohol can actually decrease your blood sugar level -- sometimes causing it to drop into dangerous levels.”

“Small Amounts of Alcohol Slightly Increases Risk of Low Blood Sugar in Certain Diabetics.”

Webmd.com

“Hypoglycemia Causes:

Common causes of low blood sugar include the following:

Overmedication with insulin or antidiabetic pills

Use of alcohol”

Emedicine.com

And, finally, the American Diabetes Association says:

“This is why drinking as little as 2 ounces of alcohol (about 2 drinks) on an empty stomach can lead to very low blood sugar.”

For a while now Ive had a dull pain in my lower back (kidney area) that seems to travel to my lower stomach (bladder area)with this pain I seem to experience wind ( gas ) and with this pain it is sharp which unexpectedly I crouch down to the floor...
Is this Kidney Stones pain or is it Gallstone pain?
Any answers would be appreciated...

Hey guys,

Last semester at school I had lots of money left over on my food card so I ended up frequenting this donut shop that was really close to my dorm. Long story short, at the start of the semester I was 6'0" 198lbs with a 36" waist, 4 months later I grew to 220lbs with a 38" waist. I'm 19.

Is that getting kinda flabby? I've noticed my stomach is kinda round and bouncy now. I'm not unhealthy though and I'm fine with my body, but should I be concerned?

Thanks for your input.

I am 14 years old, I weigh about 100 pounds, and I'm a very stocky kid. I'm pretty much all muscle because I do pushups and situps a lot. I don't use weights and don't do any of that stuff. The only thing I use to work out is my body. I heard that benching and lifting weights can stunt you growth.

So my question is: do push-ups and sit-ups have the potential to stunt a kid's growth less than lifting weights?

I feel perfectly fine and I eat properly, I don't starve myself ever or anything like that. I am a boy and I wrestle on my school team during the winter, so I like to stay fit year-round. This is why I am muscular.

Thanks for the answers. Please, serious answers only.

it seams strange how people are capable of destroying the whole world with a click of a button, yet are incapable of discovering a flawless form of female birth control, something that an everyday woman or girl can acquire without much afford. wouldn't it solve the abortion issue? what could be done to make this possible?

I heard a pro body builder mention he had an 8 pack which would become a 10 pack soon.

I always thought that people were born with a certain number of abdominal muscles ie 4 pack 6 pack ect...

Is it actually that you have more and you can just develop them so that they show?
