Alternative Medicine - September 2006

Alright we have all seen that poster in our high school health rooms. "The negative side effects of steroids." I have seen a few different versions and the one that has always kept me wondering is the "will cause breast tissue to develop." for the negatives on the male chart.

My question is what in steroids would cause that, I doubt they would put estrogen in them, yet at the same time if it is something other then estrogen why haven't they made a pill out of just that for women to use to enhance their bust size.

I have been looking into breast enhancement through nonsurgical means for a few weeks now, and from what I have heard here and on other forums is that no pill at all would develop breast tissues. So who is wrong, the posters and charts in my high school or the people that say a pill can't increase bust size.

PS: Please don't just post you have tried pills and they didn't work for you, or that they are a scam, that isn't what the question is asking.

Hello,

Could anyone advise me to whom I should turn to with a pain in my back?
It is not exactly a slipped disc but sth less major (it is a needle like pain that eventually prevents me from walking). I have one leg shorter and my back has been under extra pressure because of that fact. I suffer from back pains from time to time and I know they are slovable. I just do not know the right person in London that would help me. I have already seen the osteopath in New Cross and a masseur in Greenwich and all they did was gettitg rid of the tension in my muscles but they have not solved my problem – my back is still bad and the muscles are getting tight again. I need a proper massage with a good dose of manipulation in my back involved. But I am afraid of going to the wrong person again (due to the fact that back manipulation in my specific condition is reguired it has to be a recommended back specialist, and, secondly, appointments themselves are expensive enouch for me – I do not want to waste my money on visiting random people). Please, recommend me a particular person that would do a massage in London all in its vicinity.
Thank you,
Anna

Anyone who has ever gone blackberry picking in the South, has ugly tales to tell about chiggar infestations. My question is this: is there something someone can consume to prevent these critters from attacking in the first place? I know it you take B1 - 500 mg. per day, the mosquitos won't bother you, but chiggars are a real nuisance if you spend any amount of time in the woods. Calamine lotion is great for the itching after the fact, but I want to know how to prevent these guys from biting me in the first place. Got any old timey remedies out there??

i'm fifteen year old boy.I have chest wall deformity,i'm 5feet9inches
and my left side rib is malformed(left only,my left body side from the hips to the arm pit is more like a K compared to the right side of my body which is normally structured) and my left shoulder blade is higher than the rigth side one(it has grown to its full length but it is higher or pulled upwards than the right side one which is normally structured).I've gone to a doctor but he said that there was nothing to do about it.I'm sure that there must surely be anykind of treatment in this modern world to cure my deformity.I don't know who to ask the question so any answer from anyone will be very helpful.

Am 25 and have had one or two but now it is getting borderline noticeable. Have eaten very poorly and not excerised for awhile now. Not going to exercise for the next few months while I care for a recovering relative so was looking to learn about any supplements/vitamins or foods I can take to help out. Will start exercising in December to help the rest of it.

I heard Steve Martin started taking vitamins once his hair started going gray but then when it returned brown he stopped because he liked the new look. I am not Steve Martin. I want those vitamins.

Thanks to whoever actually has an answer for this. I do NOT want to dye and that is the obvious solution anyway.

I recently had a bout with an bronchial infection. Now, it is draining in my colon. I need to remove all the medications and other matter. I saw an infomercial for something that is supposed to clean all this matter out of your colon. I am kind of skeptical about it. But some authoritative people, there are suppose to know their stuff, were on this program. Has anybody know about this?
