I am a 27 year old feamle that used to love fruit when I was a child but now almost all fruit makes me throw up. At this point in my life I can eat any fruit that is cooked but raw fruit makes me gag!!!! Some fruits like Watermelon and Apples make me nausaus just from the smell!! I'd like to know why this is. Below is a list of fruits that I have tried several times as an adult but cannot keep down.

Apples
Watermelon
Pears
Plums
Grapes

I had a total hysterectomy 2001 - had pre-cancer cells, but always had a normal pap smear. Lining of uterus was 1% with cancer cells - now considered cancer-free, never on chemo or radiation. Am now 67. Not having sex, is it necessary to douche anymore?

Do people find it worrying that 34% of people on lipid lowering therapy have a "normal" lipid profile
http://www.totallipids.com/total_lipids/totallipids/cv_risk/index.jsp
What can be read into a trial where everybody had "normal" cholesterol levels, everybody was giver some lipid loweing drug, yet there was still 1 cardivascular event for every 12 people.

Surely if cholesterol was the cause of heart disease we would expect much fewer cardiovascular events in a group of people without high cholesterol, and still getting cholesterol lowering drugs?

I know the logical answer would probably be yes, but I wanted to ask and see if I should check with the doctor. Yesterday I ate a medium sized bag of hot cheetos and today my poop is VERY red. It's so red it almost looks as if blood is mixed in, in addition to very red stools! I say that because when I looked in the toilet, the water has turned red as well!

My stomach is kind of upset, too, so I've got a bit of diarrhea. The red is as bright as the cheetos themselves and there's a bit of burning for a minute or two after I've gone to the bathroom.

Sorry, I know this is kind of gross, but is this likely from the food or is it possible that this is blood?

I don't mean relieve a sore throat. I don't mean getting rid of it completely for 5 minutes. How can you completely 100% get rid of it permanently?

i got a tattoo 3 yrs ago and i remember the lady that did mine said that all the equipment is completely sterile and that they use a new needle on every person..but i also remember a contract they gave me to sign before getting inked that said that there are chances of catching an std from getting a tattoo and that they arent responsible for whatever happens to me.wasnt thinking about this until NOW..if they were so sure there equipment is safe to be used then what was the purpose of having to sign that paper.??

What are some natural foods and remedies to help with this acne? I hate having it. I'm using Differin, that my doctor prescribed, but it's not working. And I used 10-day prescribed pills. I'm tired of all the chemical crap. I need natural stuff that'll help. And my Doc said use a facewash but nothing with soap. He recomended Neutrogena but the Walgreens folks told me to use Cetaphil facewash (and I am) but it really dries my face out. What should I use instead?

The wold would be so much better if everyone had perfect skin!! LOL.

My 12 year old son went to his friends house, fhey went to the pool and I found out they were sitting in the hottub for almost the whole time (3-4 hours)

My son is home now, his skin looks different. It looks very dried out as if there is no moisturize left in his skin. He also says its itchy sometimes.

What should I be doing?

I think I was the victim of a poisoning curse. I'm feeling very weak, I lost my appetite several days ago, and have very bad aches. I don't believe in doctors what should I do? Would it be ok for me to eat the contents of a Brita water filter so the charcoal could filter out the toxins?
