My husband is 23yrs and has been type 1 diabetic since the age of 7yrs. Normally his health has been relatively good, but with his recent diabetic review has been told he has exceptionally high cholesterol. He was previously a vegetarian, but the doctor believes his change in diet over one year has nothing to do with the sudden rise, and puts it down to stress at work. This is also stopping the production of creatine, essential for muscle development and maintenance. He is fit and exercises by running on average 10 miles a day (to and from work) and eats home grown veg and lean meats etc. What are we doing wrong I wonder? Stress really can kill! Does anyone have any advice on what more we can do to drop his cholesterol in a healthy manner? At the moment, we cannot reduce his stress at work, but maybe someone has good advice for anti stress tips at home or particular foods and exercises specifically designed to lower cholesterol? He also has a heart murmur, so we are even more keen on lowering the cholesterol levels. Most grateful to any help. Thank you.

From a wife that wants her husband to stick around.

i used to weigh about 103 lbs and now i weigh 96 and I’m 14 years of age and i didn’t change anything of my diet. my bones ache, and I’m sad and mopey alot of time and everyone but my mom and dad notice my aunts,uncles,cousins,teachers, and friends realized I’m not as hyper and perky. my best friend thinks i need anti-depressant and i don’t want to be a freak needing meds. and i don’t know what i would or how i would tell my mom because she doesn’t listen to me and i do not want anyone to tell her for me.

I have dime size bumps on both sides of my cheeks just below my eyes…they are like little puffy mounds and seem worse when tired or after cying…they are not in the eye socket area and stick out somewhat in my cheek bone, i have tryed cold tea bags and cucumber..and some anti-puff anti circle creams…but no luck…what are they and should i get them sucked or cut out? are they a gland or just a result of aging..im late 20’s with a good diet (organic) and excerise (pilates)

should a 32 health male that has sustained a left hip fracture 8 yeas ago, and still has pain with no relief, with sings os post injury arthritic complications, and leg length deference by 3/4 inch. have hip replacement surgery. keep in mind he is a great candidate fir this surgery, the only factor keeping him from surgery is his age. if he was 56 or so he would be in the or.

side note. he has tried all conventional methods of treatment.
pain meds, anti inflammatory, pt, ot, pain management, nero rehab, walking device, and diet, with no relieve. and a hip replacement usually last 15 – 20 years before needing replaced.

Should a hip replacement be used as a as alliterative, evan know his age.

OK, since the age of 8 years old I started getting EXTREME vaginal itching but I have never had any other symptoms!

No Color Changes…No Discharge…No Odors…Absolutely no difference between “Itch Time”&“No Itch Time”It makes no difference if I groom, don’t groom, or shave.

It seems to correlate to the time before my periods & hormone flux but that is only a tenuous connection since it happens in between as well.

I thought I had noticed a difference in intensity that correlates with diet. It SEEMED like it got worse if I ate white flour & processed carbs bt then again, it can just “Happen”because I go through periods of months w/ very little processed white flour&then get PMS/PMT, get really depressed, or stressed & have a ton of carbs for a few days then another2months of barely any.

I use tons of benzocane anti-itch creams&thank the gods for Wal-Mart & their.00a tube20%benzocane vaginal anti-itch creams! I should purchase stock!
It does seem to stop if I take a lot of pain killers which is a good thing because with my bad hip I use a lot of pain killers anyways…Ibuprofen & Aleve, nothing harder then that.

What is REALLY horrible about using the benzocane is that I use it mainly in the middle of the night after the pain killers wear off&the itching will wake me up&if I don’t get all the residue off of my hands it turns ANY color nail polish yellow!

Also, when I get near my period I soak in a bath with baking soda to help balance my vaginal ph&it seems to help but not enough!

Please, if you experience anything even remotely like this PLEASE tell me what you do!
I forgot to mention that I have seen doctors… I have been screened for STD’s and come up clean…

The doctors I have seen say "Use the anti itch cream and come back if you get any discharge or odor changes."

I have been to doctors in 2 states, Arizona an Illinois, and no one can tell me anything else…

This CAN’T be "In my head" because it hurts too much! (By Hurt I mean Itching to the point of pain)

Sorry for leaving that out…
p.s. I use benzocane anti-itch cream, anti-fungal creams have done nothing.

The stuff I use is just a numbing cream… The same exact ingredient as in Origel to numb soft tissue in the mouth.

I have early teen and preteen girls, and wanted the opinion of others on which type of milk to buy (from a health prospective) for my children.
I currently buy 2%, but was considering switching to 1% or nonfat. Any opinions on what to buy for that age range?

also….Don’t bother answering with any anti-dairy comments. I have already researched, considered and dismissed any idea of eliminating dairy from my children’s diet.

hope im gonna get a good asnwer here, heres the thing mom has been bugging me about L glutathione, she said its just an immune system booster, and detoxifier and anti-aging also. it is also good for smoker. well it happened that she wanted that stuff but shes currently living in madagascar and she cant find it,. she went to pharmacy and all that. i went to sites to sites who deliver to her country and they dont . well anyway i called gnc vitamins supplements and they have it available its called l glutathione 50 mg. is it the same? shud i tell my mom hey i got the 50 mg i think it wil work also and buy her a centrum vitamins c what do u guys thing? shes already fair complexion but she said she wants to bemore coz she always go out to play golf with dad. and shes getting old and now currently smoking for her diet besides it says that it is safe to take it.

And by asian I mean far east, like oriental. I don’t want anybody getting mad lol.

I have heard a lot of theories about how they have beautiful skin with great smoothness, elasticity, flawless, and ageless features:

1). I’ve heard one, they’re born with it. That is until they come to the US and get fat and develop skin problems (a few of my friends, who came here on exchange, got fat and developed skin problems).

2). The diet. Seaweed, which is full of nutrients, supposedly helps with skin, hair, and overall wellbeing.

3). I have no clue! The X factor.

What do you guys think? I also hear putting olive oil on your skin (which i’ve been doing for 3 days successfully w/o breakouts) helps because of its anti-aging properties. But Ihear they don’t usually use a lot of stuff over there. It comes naturally (jealousy!)

im going on a new super health regime, in order to gain life extension (hopefully long enough to see nanotechnology)
what should i do? im having no sodas, no candies, nothing
im 17…do anti-aging medications do anything at my age?
what is the total health plan….best diet, regardless of how bland

Hi

I have just started taking Aloe Vera in liquid form and I am also taking Omega oils. My diet is inclusive of 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, and I also eat lots of oily fish.
Just wondering if these were fine to slow down aging or if there is something better I could be taking?
Thank you in advance!
I hope you can help!

Hi,
I’m 30 and have never had any problem with breakouts on my face. i’ve haven’t used any products on my face either… until now. I’m 4 weeks from my wedding and decided to try and improve my skin by using Boots No.7 for men Facewash Facescrub, Serum and Anti Ageing balm. i’ve used it as directed but stopped after a few days. Although I love the product I’ve noticed the skin on my face really breaking out. The only other change in my daily life I suppose has been using milk in my cereal (I used to have a milk / dairy intolerance?) and a bit more stress (but not too much really and stress hasn’t effected me in this way before). I went to the pharmacist and they suggested it might be too much Vit A ie. enough in my diet and then using the product as well when I was n’t used to it. HELP! How can I return my skin to its original healthy self in the next 4 weeks.

I’m 18 years old and do not have any wrinkles, however I do get bags under my eyes from lack of sleep sometimes. I don’t go outside (it’s not really my lifestyle) so i don’t have to worry about the sun. I also run(indoors) on a regular basis and I am Vegan. I would like to keep beautiful skin for as long as possible and prevent aging.

So, I am looking for an anti-aging cream and any other tips for keeping my face (especially around the eyes) wrinkle-free. And maybe something for bags under the eyes.. It would be nice if it could make your face glowing and healthy looking too as my face gets dull sometimes..

Please post if you have products that you have actually TRIED yourself and what you think about them. I also want something not too expensive. Like max… but preferably less.

Extra tips (diet/lifestyle) appreciated as well!

Other than excerise, water and good diet, what else can you do? I’ve been hearing about neuropeptide creams, stem cell injections, botox…. what’s the best with an unlimited budget?

I have been told that there is nothing, and I just have to accept this fact. My eyes get worse every year since my 40s. What about something in my diet or computer use restriction. I do eye exercises but doesn’t seem to help.

im starting to see fine lines on my forehead and eyes. im 27 years old. im going to change my diet and start working out but should i use products that say they are "anti-aging" or that say "moisturing" . does it matter? i have no idea where to start.
