If I could offer a suggestion for those who have a problem with eating battery farmed animals .....

Accept a lower percentage of meat in your diet and pay the premium required to eat free range...

My approach would be to try and work out WHY eating carbs produces the reaction you get - going on a low-carb diet merely treats the symptoms not the cause. So I would say this needs further...

The guy sounds like a bit of a jerk, but did you try talking to him about this? Or is he one of those people that treats every suggestion like a personal insult?

And I disagree - leading a ride,...

Do you have a glucometer to check your blood sugar level? That would tell you if you are not handling carbs effectively, because your blood glucose would be high after a high carb meal and it would...

Don't race, so can't help with a tire selection there. However, for a good training tire I would recommend Maxxis Detonators - I have found them very durable and reliable and I ride on rough rural...

Boys can't get cervical cancer, so the immediate cost benefit is not there, even though males can be asymptomatic carriers of HPV. I believe there are trials currently underway assessing the vaccine...

By what mechanism do you think it is going to cause birth defects or fertility problems? The vaccine is designed to stimulate the immune system against the virus. If the vaccine has the potential to...

Lisa, whilst I can understand your concern, I feel I must point out that this is not an untested product. It has gone through clinical testing which includes human testing prior to its release on...

Sounds like an insect bite, I would venture to say ant bite from the description.

Probably a bit late now, but worth trying some ice to the area.

I agree with all the suggestions to go and see a doctor.

Also, do not use soap to wash your genital area - soap is drying and can promote further irritation. My suggestion would be sorbolene and...

As already mentioned the routine Pap smear looks for abnormal cells. It does not look for the presence of HPV. If you are concerned about HPV then you need to ask for additional testing to look for...

Oh the shame! A Kiwi answering a question about Australian electoral divisions.;)

However, the answer is correct. Now someone needs to post a question about New Zealand after Kiwigirl has gone to...

Are you sure the surface where the scales stand is completely level? I have the same problem with my scales, especially if they have shifted out of position slightly. (my scales sit on a tiled...

Being stressed can certainly give you neck and shoulder pain, but do you mean the sort of general overall achy feeling like you get when you have flu? That's not usually due to stress, but hey, the...

han-grrl raises some very good points.

I recently read a reference to a study which showed that the amount of incidental exercise you do (laundry, housework, etc, etc) is also important for weight...

Wait until you finish the next pack and then go through the withdrawal bleed as normal.

As for wearing a tampon, go with the smallest one that will cope with the flow and as others have suggested,...

Well it finally happened .... after 6 weeks of staying stubbornly on the same weight, the scales finally moved down 1.5 pounds this week!

Must be the stress of starting a new job. Unfortunately,...

Whilst it is useful to know your family medical history as a guide to possible risk factors, etc, it is not essential. After all, what would you do if your entire family had been wiped out when you...

Good to hear you can already see positive changes.

You could always rename it "Ulcer Australis" given its shape.:p

Now that we've slightly drifted onto the topic of other forums, I should add my 2c worth about Bikeforums. The thing I've noticed is that the smutty co-ed behaviour tends to be confined to a couple...

I take glucosamine with chondroitin (family history of arthritis and early symptoms in my little fingers, now all gone thank goodness) and evening primrose oil (for hormone induced breast pain).

It's 35 here too .... but that's 35C not 35F!

Lifesgreat, what part of Utah? We've done quite a bit of skiing up around Park City.

Minty, given you're in Oz, can I offer a suggestion - Ground Effect knicks (from NZ, mail order only, about $AUD78) They are reasonably thick lycra and I can guarantee you won't get pubic hair...

Mimi, the trick is to move house as soon as the last one leaves - and don't leave a forwarding address! They can't come back if they can't find you! :D

Disclaimer: I don't have children, I'm the...

No that is quite correct, you also shouldn't eat royal jelly and depending on what bee protein you are allergic to, honey can also be a problem.
