How can I be a healthy college student? (sounds like an oxymoron)?

Q: Now, I’m pretty health-conscious, but in my freshman year I was sick sixteen times. That averages out to about once every three weeks. It was always a nasty cough and sore throat. I tested negative for mono, but antibiotics had no effect. My period also went crazy. I once bled for six straight weeks. I’m on birth control now, though, so that’s all right.I also somehow managed to gain 15 pounds/7 kilos (but lost 7lb/3 kg since coming home)I exercise (30+ minutes of cardio at intervals, plus lift weights and do crunches to stay toned) five times a week. I also take the stairs and walk whenever I can.I don’t smoke (cigarettes, pot, crack, nothing.) Never have, never will.I eat healthy – or think I do. I eat fruits high in vitamin C, yogurt and lowfat granola or raisin bran for breakfast, a protein-rich (usually of the tofu variety) meal for lunch, an apple or banana as an afternoon snack, and a salad with lean meat for dinner. I’m guessing I eat around 1300 calories per day. I haven’t eaten fast food in over a year, and I don’t drink soda. No pizza or burgers for me.I averaged around 6-7 hours of sleep per night on weeknights and a bit more on weekends. I never believed in staying up all night studying. (Really – if I don’t understand something at 3 AM, I won’t understand it in 6 hours.)I’m not a vegetarian, but the dining hall meat is so suspicious and unidentifiable that I ate significantly less meat at school – two or three times a week, as opposed to every other day.I also take a multivitamin every day. I don’t share drinks with people, and practice good hygiene (shower every day, brush teeth 5 times a day, wash hands often) So…what’s the deal? Why am I so sick, bloody and fat?

A: Yes, I remember my freshman year too. It’s a life adjustment. All new everything, schedule, foods, sleep and of course stress, more stress. Stress can creep up on you, this may reflect in your weight gain and longer periods. I know this because my sister also went through this. My advice to you is that although you think your eating the right foods, you may not be eating them in the correct amounts or maybe your not eating them in a timely meal schedule. I also suggest meal replacements, this way you know your eating the right amount of calories and protein daily. Eat foods high in protein this is key for weight loss. Lots of water! – I don’t know which multivitamin your taking, but you might also look into other nutrients and enhancers (natural of course!) to help your metabolism and boost your energy. The best herbal based nutrients out there that deliver real results are Herbalife products.Good Health to you!

Is the Flu Shot Safe What are your Thoughts?

Q: The flu vaccine has been available in America sine 1945. The purpose of this vaccine is to help your body build immunity against harmful organisms that make you sick. Your body, however, is equipped to do this naturally.The mucous membranes, the vehicle by which most disease-causing organisms enter the body, has a defense system of its own called the IgA immune system. Disease-causing organisms kick the IgA immune system into action to fight off the invaders. When a vaccine is injected into the body, the IgA immune system is skipped over and your body’s immune system is jolted into action.Your body’s immune system being prodded into action this way is unnatural. Do you realize what is in a vaccine? It could contain either killed or live viruses, thimerasol, antifreeze, formaldehyde, carbolic acid, Neomycin and/or streptomycin.Thimerasol, a preservative that is 50 times more toxic than regular mercury, is suspected of causing some children to become autistic. Other disorders associated with this drug are attention deficit disorder, multiple sclerosis, as well as speech and language deficiencies.None of us want antifreeze or formaldehyde injected into our bodies. Carbolic acid is a clear and sweet-smelling liquid that is poisonous if touched or swallowed. Neomycin and streptomycin are antibiotics.According to the news we are in danger of a swine flu pandemic. Everyone is being urged to get a flue shot. A pandemic is a widespread epidemic that affects people in many different countries. What are the symptoms of the swine flu? Should we run to be vaccinated?Symptoms of the swine flu are the same as symptoms of the regular flu – fever, headache, achy joints, runny nose and/or sore throat, lethargy, no appetite, vomiting and/or diarrhea. So how do you know if you have the swine flu? The only way to know for sure is by laboratory verification. It is impossible to diagnosis yourself.In 1976, a massive swine flu vaccination campaign took place. Only 1 person died from the swine flu, the vaccine killed 25. Hundreds more were crippled. The government was sued for a total of $1.3 billion dollars. Now the vaccine makers and federal officials have been made immune from lawsuits. So if the vaccine has detrimental effects on you or your children, you won’t be paid a single cent.The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2006 – the DHHS Secretary is allowed to make the manufacturers of vaccines and drugs used in combating a declared public health emergency immune from liability. Since they have no fear of being sued for billions of dollars, they have no incentive to test vaccines and ensure they are safe.You can protect yourself from catching the flu without subjecting yourself to a flu shot.1) Get plenty of sleep.2) Don’t stuff your face with junk food. In other words, avoid sugarand processed foods as much as possible.3) Exercise will naturally strengthen your body’s immune system.4) Wash your hands with soap and water to loosen and removegerms that you have unknowingly picked up.If you would happen to catch the flu, don’t panic. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of liquids (my favorite when I don’t feel well is hot tea). Chicken noodle soup has been scientifically proven to help one get better. The steam from a hot bowl of it helps clear up congestion. Added spices such as garlic and pepper thin mucous to make breathing easier.You can receive these benefits from store bought chicken noodle soup, but homemade is still the best.I have never had a flu shot and have only had the flu once during my 43 years. I do not plan on getting a flu shot now. Should you run to be vaccinated? That is a decision you need to make for yourself, just please investigate first and make it an informed one. The new swine flu vaccine has not been thoroughly tested for safety. Those taking this vaccine are being used as guinea pigs. I don’t know about you, but I have no desire to be a guinea pig.

A: Denmark is one of the countries that only offers H1N1 Vaccinations to a limited group of people. It’s not because there is not enough vaccine to treat more, but it’s a matter of weighing up the pros and cons of the vaccine. H1N1 has been found to be less severe than an ordinary Danish winter flu and has been categorized in strength as a mild summer flu, the only difference being that H1N1 is much more contagious than a regular flu.People who get H1N1 are being told to stay at home, get plenty or rest, drink plenty of fluids and wait it out and only contact the doctor if the H1N1 does not go away after a few days or if the symptoms become more severe than that of a regular flu.Regarding flu vaccinations in general. Again it’s a matter of weighing up the pros and cons. I do believe it’s better to let your immune system deal with the flu by itself, but the sick and the elderly often are not strong enough to fight off a flu, in which case a vaccination can be necessary – and still it’s no guarantee, as the vaccination is based on the flu strain the doctors find most likely to hit, but sometimes another flu strain takes the center stage or sometimes the flu strain mutates.As an adult, I rarely get the flu. I’ve had it maybe 2-3 times in the last 20 years and my symptoms have been pretty mild. Same thing happened when I had it beginning of last year. 3-4 days of feeling under the weather and then it was over – only now I have Multiple Sclerosis. The problem with getting a regular flu when you have MS is that it can leave you utterly exhausted and fatigued for months afterwards, and I had 3 months of a zombie like exsistance, where just staying awake during the day was a huge effort, so autumn 2008 I got my first flu shot.PS. Could you post a link to the documentation that links Thimerasol to MS, because to my knowledge nothing like that has been scientifically proven.

Adrenal problem? epididymitis from cortisol cream? smoking marijuana? feeling soft.. and anxious…?

Q: Can hydrocortisone cream 1% applied on the Glans almost every day for 2-3 years be absorbed into my body causing side effects such as epididymitis, stiff joints, fatigue, discharge, limp penis, lessened sensation? among other side effects… such as moodieness, irratibility, sleeping problems, lack of focus and concentration. or can it be caused or more effects added from everyday marijuana use affecting my pituitary gland, which in turn is affecting my gonads? or do i have a sore inflamed epididymis from alcohol and smoking too much weed and stress and lack of sleep which has weakened my immune system, while I might have possibly had claymidia or gonorrhea (though my blood tests and swab test always come back negative) or can it be caused by an internal yeast infection (which i have been prescribed hydrocortisone cream 1% in ’07) (now knowing that HC cream does not cure yeaste infectiong) which i have been regularly applying to my glans now Thinking i’ve got some cushings syndrome there… or was it really clearing up a bacterial infection (which i would get red dots, itchiness, dry flakey skin, discharge, and clear yellowish chunks in my semen, sometimes burning and cloudy when i urinate, and sometimes pinching or tingling at the end of my penis.) and would zithromax antibiotics cure any bacteria infection that i could have possible had? or would they make a yeast infection inside worse??and can my sore neck and stiff joints and occasional headache be caused by a bacterial infection in my blood? also, when i drink alcohol or the day after, I feel pain in my left testicle. and the same goes for smoking marijuana….SO my question is, What do you think you can tell me?what can be wrong with me? i’m 24 years old. becoming oh so frustrated with my life now. Tired of going back and forth to the quacks around here who seem to show little concern and ever so quick to rule out what I think (what i just wrote) and quick to just give me some antibiotics, pain killers an anti-inflamatories…plz help.. i guess……. just want to desperately know what Might be causing me all these symptoms and how i can finally get cured before I have a heart attack or something!… if u need more info… tell me! im also working at quitting smoking weed and drinking booze. I also seem to have trouble keeping my weight up. I exercise regularly and try to eat healthy. I eat no sweets, or deep fried foods. god bless

A: I think you’re better off seeing a professional then getting advice from Yahoo Answers. You’re either paranoid or legitimately ill. When it comes to the marijuana, no studies have proven cannabis to have any negative long-term effects, so you might as well stay blunted if it makes you feel better.
