Other - Health - October 2006

My son (6yr) has a lazy eye -his left eye ball is not perfectly round, so he can't see clearly. Therefore he does not use his left eye often. (Other aspects of his left eye is all right -such as focus) It started at -3.75 and now it has been improved to -2.5 after wearing glasses. If the further improvement is not obvious he will have to wear a patch. His ophathamologist told me that he will have a perfect vision with glasses on and he probably will need to wear his glasses at least until he is ten. After that we can elect to have surgery to get it corrected or continue to wear glasses.
I'd like to know if there is any way that can help my son to get his vision corrected, ie., he gets a perfect (20/20) or near perfect vision without glasses?
Thank you.

Or be content in wearing contact lens or spectacles all your life?
They say Lasik doesn't suit all people, so you gotta take risk.

It doesn't hurt unless I press on it, then it hurts a little bit but nothing too terribly. I just now noticed it, but I don't know how long its been there. Its not colored. Its just the color of my skin. And its not very noticeable. Does anyone have any idea what it may be? Should I be worried?

Fish (Including Oysters): Fatty fish like oysters, salmon, scallops and sardines are loaded with healthful monounsaturated fats called Omega 3s. And they carry a hefty dose of testosterone boosting zinc, too.

Alcohol (Champagne): So you’ve already heard the buzz that a daily glass of red (or white for that matter) raises good cholesterol and helps prevent arteries from clogging. Just go easy. "Too much alcohol can reduce testosterone levels and sperm count," says Dix. All you’ll want to do in bed is sleep.

Whole Grains, Nuts and Seeds: Research shows that whole grains -- especially oats -- help lower cholesterol, keeping your arteries clean. Load up on foods heavy in healthful monounsaturated fats, vitamin E and zinc. "Each of these nutrients are linked with increased sexual desire," says Dix.

Vegetables: It’s no coincidence that fruits and vegetables have an erotic appearance. According to the Doctrine of Signatures, if a food resembles a particular body part, it aids that body part. "Asparagus is a phallic symbol," says Martha Hopkins, co-author of 'Inter-Courses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook.' "Artichokes play hard to get -- you have to get past the spiked leaves and prickly interior to get to the velvety-smooth heart." Next time you bite into a strawberry, see what it looks like!

Spices: The right spices not only heat things up on the tongue, but also in the bedroom. "Chili pepper and ginger help improve circulation," says Dix, "and hot spices like cayenne, curry and cumin help warm the body."

Chocolate: Don’t forget the chocolate, especially if you like it bitter. Cocoa is a stimulant that increases sensitivity. Now you have a certifiable reason to indulge in a square of a 70 percent chocolate bar. The favored dessert fix also contains methylxanthines, which stimulate the transmission of nerve signals.

My girl is 9 years old and is small built and very thin. She eats very little and have bouts of vomitting/upset stomach every few months. Each time it happens, it will last about a week and she will lose even more weight. My son who is one year younger than her has surpassed her in height and weight, mainly becos he eats everything and anything. I realise that she is afraid of trying new food and will only nibble at it and if its bad, she will stop there & then. I have started giving her 1) multivitamins 2) Predasure Milk (formula for picky eaters) and 3) Vitagen.. she takes all of that now everyday but her weight still remains the same. Although she is growing but she is still one of the smallest in her class and she looks quite weak to me. Anything ideas how I can get her weight up?

Hey Everyone,
I'm a 21 year old active female, I run about 60-90mins a day and rarely miss a day. I'm 6'4 and weigh about 170lbs. I'm in good shape!
Every morning I take "One-A-Day" Womens multivitamin.

Since I'm active and so tall/big would it be ok to take one in the morning and one at night?


Thanks

Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that I have to shut one eye and only use the other eye when trying to read. I do it without even noticing it..... It is very straining on the eye i am using. And it usually happens more when I am trying to read something or I am on the computer. I have been using computers since 97 so i don't think that is my problem (a new user) but i tend to see double with both eyes open while reading and can't quite focus with both eyes open. Does anyone have even a hint about why this might be happenin to me, oh, and another thing..... I don't wear glasses but was told years ago to wear reading glasses when reading, but this has never happened until a few weeks ago. Can someone tell me why this is going on and what can be done for it. Thanks in advance you all..

There's a clinic here in town that pays like $35 every time you donate plasma. I went by there though and was really grossed out because there were lots of dirty skanky crackhead looking people there and the stadd wasn't exactly groomed looking either. Is it safe and are there any side effects? I'm needing a little extra money for the holidays and figured if I could do that two or three times a week I'd save up plenty.

I have read many articles on how nutmeg is a legal drug that gives you Euphoria-like effects. I asked my mom about this and it turns out she used to use nutmeg to get high. I want to experience what being high feels like, but i also dont want to hurt my body. Please answer seriously, no stupid answers.

Until I was of the age 19, I was great w/having blood taken and getting shots. I donated plasma a few times bc I needed $.. and the last time ruined me for life.

The woman didn't put it in my vein completely, the needle came out and blood spilled out underneath my skin. This left my entire upper arm black/blue and sore for 2 wks.

Tomorrow I have a Glucose Tolerance Test where they take blood for 3 hours. I know they can't sedate me and I'm not sure I can do it. Any way at all I can make it easier?
