Can any body tell me why my daughter, who is only 7 has BO. I thought children did not get BO until they started puberty. She has had this problem for about a year.

She had a bath last night, but this morning when I cam down stairs I could smell her BO from the door of the room she was in. No one else in the family has this problem. My son is 9 and he does not have a BO problem. She showers every day, what could be causing it? I'm very concious that she may start getting teased at school.

its a condition where there's a growth on the spinal cord that can cause leg numbness. It starts with an "H" and is a very rare condition. I don't remember what it's called (Possibly has a sound like schizm at the end of the condition name)

My wife is suffering from slight Obsessive Compulsive Neurosis. Although earlier some treatment was done, now No medical treatment . Will it, if left untreated, lead to some kind of psychotic problems?
If this problem is not very much disturbing, is it not wise to leave it as it is? Or should I take prolonged treatment?
Please advise me

I work at a pharmacy and there is one of those blood pressure machines that I use often to check my blood pressure. Usually, these are the results:

Diastolic - 140
Systolic - 75
BPM - 55

I know that a healthy blood pressure is 120/80, so the 140 concerns me. Is that too high, and should I see a doctor? I am 21 years old and in otherwise good health, exercise regularly and follow a moderately healthy diet. I do eat too much sodium, and I know that's something I need to work on.

i heard my boyfriend said that milk is harmful and causes cancer but he still drinks a little bit because he said it wont kill him if its only 8 oz a day.. he related it to cigarettes.. if you smoked 10 cigs at a time u would instantly die because of nicotine while smoking 10 cigs slowly each day wont kill you. and he said that the milk box description say that there is no growth hormone in them because the government is lying to us saying there arent any while there really are.. he says t he gov. is lying because milk corporation is a huge company and can do w/e they want since the gov. is all about money.. money = power , so if milk comp. bankrupted cuz everyone is scared of drinking milk then the economic would go down dramatically. i dont believe him at all but it seems a bit reasonable.. because ive seen dutch people who r famous for products of milk and cheese..they're the tallest humans alive and i've never heard of people dying from milk. he said the gov. doesnt want to tell us

I have recently started paying attention to how I feel after eating. In the past im sure that I have had the same reactions but being in eating disorder recovery I have just passed it off as triggers and guilt. However the past two times I've eating chicken I have immeadiatly felt like vomiting and I get a really bad headache as well as the feeling of indigestion.
Since I don't eat red meat and most of the time don't eat seafood I used to eat chicken a lot. But when I moved away from home this past August my consumption has greatly decreased.
So I was wondering if these are symptoms of food allergy or if something else is going on with my body?

Okay so I'm a type 1 diabetic and recently my doctor increased my insulin levels and most of the weight that i lose last year through exercise and dieting is starting to creep back on. I'm on a pretty low carb diet which is hard because low carb sometimes results in a low blood sugar. But i wanted to know, with regular exercise and this low carb diet, will i lose weight? Or am i just destined to be slightly chunky for the rest of my life. How does low carb work anyway? And i'm tired of people telling me to speak to a nutritionist and doctor, i have been calling both for about two week and both are apparently too busy to get back to me. I would really like some/ANY advice.

Is it considered cutting if the person uses a pen cap?
It doesnt make her bleed. But it causes big scabs. the kind that you cant really get off your skin cuz they are so thin.

Hey all...whenever I am walking in certain areas, I can't look straight because if I am walking too fast, the wind starts making my eyes water and I have to blink, or squint and utilize my eyelashes so that I can actually look in front of me. Whenever around A/C in the car or a fan, I always try to look away cause the rush of air makes me blink...is this normal?
