General Health Care - September 2006

my boyfriend really doesn't like me smoking and i want to quit. The only reason he wants me to stop is because emphysemia runs in my dads side of the family, and quite a few members of his family died from cancer, and he watched his grandad pass away from cancer. Please help me, any suggestions would be great. thank you. x

Hi there,

While ironing my clothes this morning, I ironed my fingers as well. I am just having a moist tissue on top of my fingers which are dark pink now....no boils or burns though (yet).

Any first aid tips?

I went to the beach on Sunday and apparently I got water in my ears. Is it possible that the water in your ear can cause you to get sick. My ears hurt, I have a stuffy nose, my eyes hurt, and I feel like I am going to get sick. I've already put some drops in my ears and it hasnt gotten any better. I still feel like pressure in my ears.

She has had the darkening for about 6 months or so.

She sleeps about 9-10 hours a night and doesn't nap during the day.

She isn't bruised and the circles aren't caused by an injury.

Is there possibly something missing in her diet or isn't she getting enough sleep?

I plan on talking with her doctor next month, but thought maybe someone could give me advice on what I could do now.

In other words, the clothes we wear after washing with detergent soaps, may carry traces of the detergents after washing. When these clothes are worn, in the long run will they be harmful to our body skin?
If so, then should not detergent soaps be banned?

My memory, for saying I am 26, is shocking. I've heard I should eat more fish? And is there some vitamin or oil or something that is good for improving memory?
