What can you do to get cancer?
I'm writing a paper about it, but I can't fidn anything on google that says it. Like types of cancer and what causes it (what people do to get it)

About a week ago my daughter had what we thought was a cold(fever, congested nose and ears, sore throat, and a cough). Now most of it got better but she still has a fever and her cough has got worse especially at night. Any ideas on what this is?

Red wine 'protects from colds'
Another health benefit has been attributed to red wine - fighting off the common cold.

According to scientists in Spain, drinking wine, especially red, stops people from developing colds.

Something in wine seems to have a protective effect because the same was not seen with beer and spirits.

The evidence comes from a year long study of 4,000 volunteers.

Oay, I know I have really bad TMJ, and I get headaches and neck aches from contstant grinding. I also see little - you know those little dots when you look into the sun, but without the sun. I always have a really sore spot on my forehead that hurts when I press it. I feel nauseaus a lot, but this could be caused by anxiety. I always have a low fever (if its even considered a fever) of 99.8-100.3 F.
I went to the Infectious Disease doctor, and she told me there was no virus.
I had a CAT scan in February (because I got a concussion) and no one mentioned any tumor or anything, andf I just had another in June, and it was clean.
This has been going on since May. What should I do? The doctors told me it would go away in days. I call all my doctors constantly, but they are getting tired of me and tell me there isn't anything wrong that they can see.
Are all my symptoms normal?

I'm visiting a very sick, terminally ill friend tomorrow accompanied by some co-workers.

What do you say to someone that's battling brain cancer? He won't get well. Any advise would be so much appreciated.

When I was like 8 yrs old and first tasted crab, like a good 2 hours later I broke out into what seems to have been huge itchy hives. Even though I did not eat much of it through out my teens if I had some crab or shrimp I'd be ok. On my 18th birthday I had lobster for the first time at some fancy shmancy restaurant and couldnt even finish up the rest of my meal because my tounge started to feel heavy and my throat was itchy. Never again have I had shelled fish again until the other night my cousin made food that had shrimp in it, I went to bed and then the next day woke up with my top lip swollen like crazy.

I don't know what to think cause sometimes i'll eat shelled fish and be ok and then other times my body goes insane. Help?

Since starting a new relationship I asked my girlfriend to myself to get tested. We went together and our results for chlamydia and ghoneria and syphilis and HIV were negative however she had a yeast infection. While we were having sex she gets really irritated and while entering her her underwear was still on so I pulled them to the side and continued to have sex with her but once her panties were off and we continued for hours to have sex once we were done i noticed that my penis was bleeding. It wasnt her blood but my blood from my penis a then a red patch appeared on my penis. I assuumed it was from STD's and HIV what else could it be?

When I was 15 I had cancer and I had extensive chemotherapy. Of course all my hair fell out during the course of chemo but when all the treatment had finished, my hair never grew back the way it was before.

I am now 22 and I feel fine. My hair grows but it is really thin and my scalp is always visible. I don't have any bald spots and none of my family have ever experienced baldness. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and is there any solution to make my hair grow stronger again.

Thanks for any help.
