He's had a cough for 3-4 months now. It's pretty bad, but he refuses to go to the doctors. I've tried everything I can think of to get him there. But he just told me he's fine and refused to go. Is it worth me persisting, or should I let him do what he wants.

So many people dispose of unwanted drugs this way, plus what passes through their bodies. I understand all water goes to the purification plants only to be re-cycled back into our homes. How do we know if we are being affected? What checks are done? This is one of the reasons I will only drink bottled water.

Is eating food (chicken in my case) that has been cooked in aluminum foil safe? I hear that the foil could give off metal residue that could go to my brain and hasten the onset of dementia (not sure if I am predisposed to this ailment but you never know).

Are there any references out there that point to either safety or dangers of using this foil?

Does anyone have any new/creative/interesting or sucessful tricks or ideas on how to quit smoking? I've been smoking for abou 2-3 years now and when my mom died at the age of 47 from lung cancer (though hers was not smoking related), I promised her I would quit. Just recently I found out her mother has emphysethmia, and my father is also a smoker (for many years) and is short of breath often. (He lives with me so it is tough when I decide to quit, if he still smokes). Also, I had a PE, or Pulmonary Embolism (blood clot in the lung) in the past 2 years that could've been fatal, and I have a 3 year old who I want to live a long healthy life for. No, I don't smoke around her. Plus, I just don't enjoy smoking anymore, b/c of the smell, the health risks, it gives me headaches, but the nicotine has got a strong hold on me. Please help if you can! Thank you!

I'm just curious, is there like some special chemical that naturally makes you sleepy. Or could this be a huge hoax, started hundreds of years ago?

Thanks for any help!

My back on one side (left) is hurting very badly. The pain is constant and at time it feels like a hot poker sticking in me. The pain doesn't go away no matter what I do. It does help to apply the heating pad for a while. I don't have a fever, chills or anything like that. It doesn't burn to use the bathroom. What do you think it is?

I don't sleep with a pillow, and I was wondering if that is unhealthy for my neck? I do not have any problems, but it would be nice to know before I do. Thanks.

Last Friday I got a partial fill of my prescription because I couldn't afford the full scrip at the time. I'm supposed to go camping this weekend and won't be able to pick the rest (or some) of it up this Friday as planned and will obviously run out. So my question is, will Walgreen's let me pick my scrip up early by about 2 days? And will they let me partially refill it? I really don't want to delay the trip, so any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you!
