What i hv to eat in kidney stone?Answer

I think your question should be “what should i eat to avoid kidney stones?” You should drink lot of water. Tender coconut water is the best bet. They say you should not eat tomatoes, if you have kidney stones. Drinking plantain pith soup is also one good way. Eat juicy salads.

Can drinking to much water cause kidney stones?

I don’t drink much water and have been worrying about kidney stones. Im wanting to start drinking lots more water a day but can the sudden increase in so much water cause stones to develope?

Answer

Drink 10-12 glasses of water a day (or 5-6 20oz bottles of water), take calcium citrate, potassium and B-Complex vitamins every day. These minerals have been proven to prevent stones from forming. Try to stay away from tea and lots of chocolate. Trust me, having a kidney stone is the worst pain you can imagine, worse than childbirth. Take preventative measures now! Always keep a bottle of water with you so you can sip from it throughout the day instead of chugging down a lot of water at once (which will upset your stomach).

What is the best for treating kidney stones?Answer

Find a way to supplement your diet with magnesium. Try to add 350mg of magnesium to your diet daily. This treatment has been found to eliminate kidney stones in some patients. Magnesium has been studied for the last 40 years and results have always been the same. Magnesium helps the body naturally rid itself of kidney stones.

Avoid snacks and foods that are high in sugar. This includes soft drinks and juices. Sugar has been associated with the formation of kidney stones. Avoid sugars until your kidney stones pass. When you consume something sweet let it be something with natural sugar, like fruit.

Drink plenty of water, but also add fruit and vegetable juices including carrot, grape and orange juices. Such juices contain high levels of citrates. Citrates help reduce the buildup of uric acid and eliminate the formation of calcium salts, both contributors to the formation of kidney stones.

Lastly, eat foods high in chlorophyll. Vegetables high in chlorophyll have been shown to help cleanse kidneys, helping to eliminate kidney stones. Include foods like asparagus, wheat grass, and fresh parsley in your diet.

Kidney stones, can anyone help?

I have had 4 kidney stones in the last 5 years . I have always managed to pass them myself but the pain is something i would`nt wish on my worsed enemy. How can I prevent these stones reforming.

Answer

The most common of kidney stones are calcium oxalate crystals. Drink more water (15 glasses of water daily). You have to take medications to dissolve kidney stones. You have to avoid certain foods which may cause kidney stones.

What is the best home remedy to deal with Kidney stone pain?

live remote.. dr is not a option.. any suggestions?

Answer

Not sure how to deal with the present pain, but to prevent future pain, remember to keep hydrated, drink lots of fluids, especially water. I donated a kidney a few years ago, and have had one stone. Painful passing it.

I thought I had a kidney stone but ended up peeing out like a bloody chunk of skin. Is that normal?

Mind you, this was after an entire day of cramping and burning urine and peeing blood clots and so on, so it might be…but I looked up kidney stones and they look nothing like this. what’s going on?

Answer

Keep your pH levels high by eating and drinking alkaline foods. You got kidney stones cus your body is too acidic. It can cause other health problems too. Good luck.

How can u make a kidney stone come out faster without hurting so much? jw?

some one told me iam at the age to start getting kidney stones and i was wondering what do they feal like when they start and how do u get them to come out faster?

Answer

It is no surprise that there is a kidney stones home treatment. After all, most doctors agree that kidney stones are one of the simplest ailments to cure naturally. Although they are extremely painful, rest assured that you can pass them in less than a day if you are proactive about flushing your kidneys.

Typically, a doctor will recommend drinking plenty of water to flush the kidney stones. This works because kidney stones are usually caused by dehydration (not enough water) and therefore flushing the kidneys will naturally pass the stone. In fact, you have probably passed numerous stones already and didn’t even know it.

Unfortunately, when a kidney stone grows in size (larger than 5 mm), it becomes more and more difficult to pass naturally (with only water). And more unfortunately, most doctors do not recommend anything more than plenty of water. They may recommend an expensive medication or an even more expensive treatment.

But before you go back for that next $150 doctor visit, you may wish to try some natural health secrets that work by dissolving the kidney stone(s) and allowing your body to pass them naturally.

Treat Kidney Stones with Natural Health Secrets

1. Your doctor has probably mentioned to drink water. But you should be drinking distilled water which is mineral-free. By drinking distilled water, you can be sure you are not adding to the mineral composition of your kidney stones. You should also be drinking at least 16 ounces (2 cups) of water for every 2 hours you are awake.

2. You may also wish to use your diet to your advantage. One way to flush the kidneys with your diet is to eat plenty of water soluble dietary fiber which can be found in all fruits and vegetables. Eating at least 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies today will naturally flush your kidneys and could help pass your stone(s).

3. Did you know eating foods that contain chlorophyll will naturally cleanse the kidneys? Three plants very rich in chlorophyll are wheatgrass, parsley, and asparagus. You should try to supplement one of these foods daily. You can find these at most grocery stores or health stores.

4. In a recent research study, it was found that kidney stone sufferers are typically deficient in vitamin B-6. Research shows that you should begin to supplement a complex B vitamin daily if you are at risk or have suffered from kidney stones in your past.

5. Finally, phosphoric acid has also been one of the latest headlines when it comes to kidney stone natural health. Phosphoric acid is an acid that is found in everything from cleaning supplies and also beverages. However, phosphoric acid has also been shown to dissolve kidney stones naturally. And because the body’s liver does not play any role in acid base regulation, a phosphoric acid may be the trick to curing kidney stones by tomorrow. Hope this helps

Can it be kidney stones?

I am a 14 year old boy. I feel pain in my lower right back region. The pain isn’t always coming. Nor does it come at any specific time or situation When i press the region I feel the pain and also when I deliberately put some stress on it.I don’t see any blood in my urine I just want to know if it can be kidney stones.

Thanks

Answer

Just because you have a kidney stone doesn’t mean you will be in pain constantly or see blood in your urine. Sometimes you do have blood in your urine but you can’t see it. It all depends on the size of the stone, how fast it’s moving, and if it gets stuck.

I would make an appointment with a urologist so they can do an Xray to see if it’s there. Usually stones are small enough to where they will pass on their own, but sometimes the pain gets so bad that you have to take pain medication while it’s passing.

Make sure to drink lots of water to flush that stone out if you do have one.

There is no such thing as a kidney stone being in early stages when it starts to pass. It takes years for them to build up in your kidneys, and then one they drop out of your kidneys and enter the ureter, that is when you start to feel that pain. Once the stone moves further down towards the bladder, you will start to hurt moreso in the lower abdomen towards your groin.

What is the best thing to do to remove kidney stones?Answer

Depends on how big the stone is. Upto 6 mm stones can be removed within a week’s time by using the following homeo medicines :

1. Drink plenty of water.

2. Use Beriberis Vulgaris Q 5 to 10 drops three times a day until the stones are expelled.

3. Use Hydrangea Q 5 to 10 drops in one ounce water along with Pareira Brava Q 5 to 10 drops three times a day to crush and expel the stones.

4. Use Belladonna 200 as frequently as required in case of pain while dislodging the stones.

5. Use Cantharis 30 in case of infections and Urtica Urens if there is skin irritations.

Use medicines in consultation with Home doctor.

I need tips on the best way to get pregnant.?

I am trying to conceive - unsuccessfully, and any advice or tips would help. I am 35 years old and quite healthy. I have one seventeen year old child so i know i am can fall pregnant. Please help, we are desperate to have a baby!

Solution

Stress can definitely inhibit pregnancy, as can alcohol, sleep deprivation, and caffein.

Best way to get prego is to trak your cycle and know your body. You want to try to have sex at least 4 or so days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and a day or two after ovulation to increase sperm availability when the egg is dropped. Track your Basal Body Temp (BBT) on a chart. A basal thermometer is more detailed than a regular thermometer. For instance, a normal thermometer will track your temp at 98.6 while a BBT will track it at 98.64. What you’re looking for is a shift in temp by at least .40 degrees. When you see that shift, you’ve already ovulated.

You also want to track your cervical mucus (CM). You are usually dry right after your period with no CM. It starts to become creamy and thicker a few days prior to ovulation, and during ovulation, it increases in volume and becomes clear and sticky, much like egg whites. That’s your optimal time to have sex. have sex around ovulation (usually around 10 to 14 days after your period, not always though…for example I usually ovulate on DAY 17 that meant that it was better for me to have sex 14-17 days after my period) Find out when you ovulate. Find more infor on this at fertilityfriend.com

Lift your hips under pillow after intercourse to allow sperm to let gravity help the little swimmers!

Position is missionary. Woman on top lets sperm leak out easier, and is not the most productive way. Also, lay there for at least 15-20 min after intercourse to allow sperm to move up to the egg.

YOu may also want to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). It tells you that you are about to ovulate with in 12-36 hours.

Ask your hubby to wear boxers instead of briefs if he’s not already wearing them. (not confirmed, but i’ve heard this can help sperm)

Also, start taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid supplements now. In case you do get pregnant, you won’t know it for about 2-3 weeks, and the folic acid and vitamins are essential to development this early on.

**It takes the average woman anywhere from 6-9 months to conceive once they start trying for a baby. Don’t get frustrated. It takes time!

HOpe this helps! Baby blessings to you!

Pregnancy tips please?

I know it’s a very general question, but, does anyone have any tips for me? almost 2 months gone now, I’ve got alot of information but I’d love to hear what everyone has to say

Really, anything; about what to do, expect or anything during my pregnancy or after the pregnancy.

I’m having a beautiful half Japanese half British Caucasian baby! Very excited.

Solution

First of all, Congrats!

The only tip I guess i have is- enjoy every second of being pregnant…it gets hard towards the end..but you can look forward to the first time you feel your baby move, and the first time you get to see your partners face when he feels the baby move- it’s magical! Also,being able to see your little one on the scan- it all starts to become real then.

Don’t listen to any of the horror birth stories you hear, take everyone’s advice into consideration, but when it comes down to it- you know your body, you know your baby and everyone’s experiences are different- make your own experiences!

take photos of your growing belly- you’ll be amazed at the changes! and if your into it, keep a journal of different feelings or changes that are happening to your body- fascinating to read back over later on..

Congrats again!

Pregnancy Tips Please?

Me and My Girlfriend are trying for a baby, we thought she was as she has had a coupl of weeks of morning sickness and sickness during the day but we did the test and it sed no… any tips on how to get pregnant… ive searched all the internet sites and that but if she is due on her period say the 14-19th of april whens the best time she could fall pregnant?

Solution

It’s still very likely she is pregnant.

If she is due on the 14-19th, you probably conceived only 2 weeks ago which means it’s probably too early to tell.

Just wait until she’s due for her period and if it doesn’t come do a test.

And in regards to your ques, get a product called maybe baby - its chemists and it tests whether you are ovulating by a saliva test. easy.

they say it’s about 2 weeks before you get your period.

What are some tips to have a healthy pregnancy?

Solution

No drinking, no smoking, no drugs.

Don’t strain yourself but it’s fine to excercise.

Follow the do’s and dont’s of what you can or cannot eat.

Stay away from too much caffiene.

Get enough sleep.

If you are doing something and get too stressed or physically overwhelmed - take a break.

I would read around articles on www.babycenter.com it’s helped me a lot with both my pregnancies and raising my first child.

Tips for Rat Pregnancy?

Okay, my little girl is definately expecting some ratlets. The thing is that it has probably been about four years since I last bred any of my rats. Mommy and Daddy are both sweethearts-also have never shown any sign of illness. She is probably just under a year old. She has had some extremely minimal spotting for about a day and a half, and her little **** are becoming more noticeable. Obviously, she has a huge nest built up. She has been separated from her cagemates. Anyway, I’m a little rusty, so if anyone can offer me any tips or websites they found helpful during their ratty pregnancy, please send them in! If there are any questions I can answer to help you give more precise tips, ask and I’ll answer. Thanks!

Solution

ok… when she is giving birth, leave the room. i think they usually give birth at night.

Which pregnancy test is the best? How much do they usually run for?

Solution

anyone is fine. I like to get the ones that have 2test in them.. that way if it said negitive i could take another one the next week (if i still didnt get my period) or if it said positive take it the next day just to make sure.

I got mine for $12 for 2 of them and i found out 2x that i was pregos’!

it was called first answer or something like that. You dont need a really expensive one, unless you JUST missed your period by a day than the EPT test will detect the HCG level better. But thouse test go for like $25 rip of it you ask me!

i just found out and i’m 3-4weeks along!

good luck!

I need tips for acne in pregnancy?

I’m 8 weeks pregnant to my second child and im starting to get really sore, red acne all over my face. My skin was always so nice and nothing seems to be helping get rid of them? Is there anything I can use to help not get any more pimples? I’m also having trouble finding any energy to do ANYTHING. I’m so tired all the time and now I have headaches from sleeping too much. I never had with my first son and I feel so sick all the time? Is this normal?

Solution

Yup. My acne ALWAYS gets worse with pregnancy. It sucks. As if I don’t feel like a fat cow already, I have to have huge sore red acne all over my face. Lovely.

Ah well. Nothing really helped. Sometimes it gets better later during pregnancy. Just use antibacterial soap and wash gently twice a day. IT is safe and as effective as most acne washes. An it is guaranteed not to hurt the baby.

Best maternity insurance?

I was wondering what the best health insurance out there for maternity and child birth is? Right now I have pretty basic health insurance, as I am very healthy and don’t need to go to the doctor often, but once I get pregnant (we’re going to try in the next year or so) I plan on switching my insurance so that I’m paying the minimum out of pocket for all (or most of) those doctor’s visits and labs, etc. What is the best provider/what type of coverage should I be looking for? How much did it cost YOU to have a baby (the actual medical bills) and how much should I expect to pay each month for my premium?

Answer

We have Blue Cross Blue Sheild. My first pregnancy cost $387,000.00 because I was in the hospital for 99 days due to complicattons. It only cost us a $50.00 copay, out of pocket, and that’s only because I requested a private room.

Copays for sonograms and OB visits were $15.00. Scripts if needed are $7.00, $15.00, and $30.00 for medicine that is not generic, which is very rare.

Also, both of my girls are covered until age 18 will all doctor visits, no copays.

We pay $240 a month, but my husband gets it through his employer. I’m sure its more if you sign up for a plan individually.

They are the most wonderful plan when it comes to pregnancy. I am extremely high risk and have had 2 pregnancies under this plan, and 2 under another, and this one is in a class of its own.

Good luck!

Maternity Health Insurance?

This is probably a weird place to ask this, but having trouble finding an answer online. I have individual health insurance, and my plan will not cover a pregnancy if conception occurs before 6 months after I add the maternity coverage. I am not currently pregnant, however I would like to begin trying before 6 months from now. Does anyone know of a health care plan that you can add maternity coverage to, and not have a waiting period for conception? For instance, if I opted for extra coverage in October and became pregnant in Dec., could I be covered?

Answer

A lot of Insurances consider a pregnancy a ‘pre existing condition’ and will not cover you if you get pregnant within the first year of getting the Insurance Policy.

I suggest you look into several different policies.

We have Blue Cross PPO and I changed my plan in July and got pregnant in October, it was covered. Pregnancy is automatically covered in my plan, I didn’t have to ‘add’ Pregnancy; it’s part of Blue Cross coverage. Just make sure you have the Insurance for a full 30 days before you become pregnant.

Maybe you should switch to Blue Cross PPO or HMO.

What is the best company for Maternity Health insurance?

I’m not looking to go on medicaid, I don’t want to use taxpayers money if I can afford a reasonable individual health insurance plan.

We can afford a deductible of around $4000 or less.

You may want to try a website that compares multiple companies at once to get you the best price & maternity coverage. I am paying less than ½ after I did.

What are my best options for self-employed health insurance with maternity in Illinois?

I am leaving a well paid corporate job with great benefits to work for myself. I was recently married and my wife wants to have children soon. She does not have benefits through her job so I need to ensure we are covered well. What are some great options for affordable health coverage in Illinois that includes maternity and what’s the time frame before maternity coverage kicks in?

Answer

Maternity is very expensive on an individual policy. The wait is usually 1 year, meaning the pregnancy can’t begin until after a year has elapsed. Maternity is about $350 to $450 extra a month. But it is very worth it if there are any complications.

Probably BCBS is your best bet.

You can get a quote by going to www.bcbsil.com, just enter your zip and go from there.

You might consider a high deductible HSA plan too, but you would still need to add maternity to that plan.

I received this H1n1 virus update fwd email from my personal banker in India :

”
PLEASE GO THROUGH THIS
My dear Presidents,I agree with you that swine flu awareness is needed, but there is no need to be panicky and join the publicity propaganda carried out by media and others which acts as a vehicle to spread misconception than to spread scientific information.These are few facts about swine flu when discussed with the leading epidemiologists.

1) Swine flu, that is H1N1 flu is not new, first detected in 1987
2) Infective stage of flue is 5 days, 1 day before and 4 days after onset of symptoms. The best way to prevent it spreading is asking patient having symptoms of flu like fever cough and running nose to take rest at home for 4 days so he does not transmit it
3) Masks are of limited value if any, in this disease, it can spread through droplets on your skin, through contact etc, and I have seen that the masks in Pune are worn as fashion statement, while walking on road today morning I saw people wearing masks coming out for a morning walk with their dogs!, many wearing masks around their necks, and so on, infact these masks shall act as the vehicles to carry the virus, instead, avoiding crowded places or cinema halls or malls where airconditioners are on, is advisable, because you get recirculated air, where the virus density multiplies
4)Death after H1N1 flu is not common, infact infections like measles is taking toll of thousands more every year, and we are oblivious of the facts. Swine flu is being blown out of proportion by media trying to create hysteria among lay people.
5) Fever accompanied by respiratory distress, should be immediately notified which is likely to be a complication of H1N1 flu
6)The mortality is less than .01 percent of those affected, that means may be one in 10,000 affected is likely to suffer the life loss.
7) If you remember, 2 years ago SARS was blown out of proportion, what happened? Humans develop immunity to the virus, the same is going to happen, we develop immunity in due course of time, the virus is in the air, you can not stop it, our body is already developing the immunity so nothing to panic.

We need to take care of children and elderly who have less immunity and do not let them go to crowded places that is all . WE MUST START THIS CAMPAIGN OF NOT TO BE AFRAID OF THIS FLU AND LET YOUR DAILY WORK CONTINUE AS NORMAL, NO MASKS FOR ORDINARY CITIZENS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS OR SPECIFIC EXPOSED TO LOT OF CROWDED ENVIRONMENTS MAY BE BENEFITTED, NOT PROVEN.

Which is the best emergency contraceptive pill available in india?

we have sex once a week and do not like to use condoms. i want to know the contraceptive pill in India which has no or very less side affects.

Answer

I’ve heard a lot about I-pill, however, it is an EMERGENCY contraceptive as you say and not to be used weekly. If you use it weekly it could cause hormonal complications in the female. It’s also far more expensive and far less effective than other forms of birth control.

See a doctor and ask about the normal, one-a-day birth control pill, not emergency contraceptive. If the girl takes one pill a day then you can have sex without condoms and not get pregnant.

Whats the best birth control pill and can u get preg on the birth control pill?

Answer

i got pregnant on the pill and used a condom neither one of them is 100% even if you are careful with them,i took my pills everyday and used a condom just in case but still got pregnant some how so yes there is still a chance but this is only if you are very fertile if your not you won’t get pregnant so easily and your chances of getting pregnant on the pill are low if you are fertile like i was your chances would be higher and the gyno would tell you that. If you miss the pill for one day the next day you should take 2 if you missed 3 days you need to take 3 pills doing after the 3rd day this will increase the power and you can be protected more so this way but only if you missed a day or more this is not to be done just for fun i wouldn’t recommend you take any form of birth control until you find out that you can have kids in the future cause birth control can mess up your body with their side effects it did to me and now my gyno doctor said she don’t know if i can have
 kids so think about it before you take them or if you already are start thinking about your future and ask your doctor lot of questions ask her to give you test to

Condom + Birth Control Pills = No Pregnancy?

If I am on birth control pills, and my bf uses condoms, and I do my part and take my pill at exactly the same time everyday, without missing one, what are the possibilities of pregnancy? I was reading online and I found that condoms & bc pills together are only 90 - 95% accurate, which is pretty good if you’re looking at the numbers, but when you say “you have a 5 - 10% chance of getting pregnant” its a little scarier…

I’m trusting that my boyfriend knows how to put a condom on right, but I’m doing everything in my part to take my pill at the same time.

Please don’t say “NONE” or “THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE”. I want numbers lol

Answer

The Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill (COCP), often referred to as the birth-control pill, or simply “the Pill”, is a combination of an estrogen (oestrogen) and a progestin (progestogen), taken by mouth to inhibit normal female fertility. The estrogens and progesterones present in the pill completely inhibit the chance of your ovaries to produce eggs for the sperms. Further you said your partner is using the barrier-precaution too so preventing sperms to enter either. Although 1 sperm can make a woman pregnant but this is not at all the case. Thing is that 1 sperm needs a reinforcement of atleast 2 lacs sperms to do its job according to the book Langman Embroyology of Medical Sciences. So you are 99% on the safe side. Infact you are 100% but i leave 1% for the fact someday you forget to take the precautions, otherwise you are completely safe.

Hope it Helped,

Where i can buy a contraceptive pills in japan?

location

pharmacy name

brand

Answer

The reduced availability of the contraceptive pill is the reason that Japan has a rather high level of abortions.

Unfortunately it is difficult for Japanese women to obtain the contraceptive pill.

Sad, so sad.

Edit: What’s with the thumbs down? Everything I have said is true. Perhaps you would like to read this article for more information. http://www.prochoiceforum.org.uk/comm13.…

To quote: ” The prevalence of abortion among Japanese women combined with their lack of support for the legalisation of oral contraceptives has perplexed many observers. Do Japanese women believe abortion is safer than oral contraceptives? A survey showed that about 60% of women who were about to have abortions rejected the idea of taking the Pill for fear of ‘negative side-effects’.”

Yaz birth control pills?

I have been on Yasmin birth control pills for a long time now, and before that, was on other birth control pills. I always took pills for 3 weeks, and then in the fourth week (my period week) didn’t take them of course, or just took the non hormone pills. Well, I started Yaz because they have lower estrogen levels and are better for you in general, and I just noticed tonight that you take 3 extra hormone pills? There are 24 hormone pills, and only 4 “sugar” pills. I don’t get this. Should I just take 3 weeks worth like I have pretty much all my life? Or should I take the 24? I am not sure what to do or what to expect. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! :o)

Answer

Take the pills exactly as they are prescribed, take 24 active pills and then take the 4 sugar pills. Your period will probably start on the 3-4th sugar pill and you will still be having your period when you start he active pills again. Yaz just is set up different from what you are used to but you should take all of the pills every month.

For got to take birth control pill at time i was suppose to. What do i do?

I usually take the pill between 915-930 today i for got took it at almost 11. Do i or am i suppose to do something?

Answer

If you forget to take a birth control pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you don’t remember until the next day, go ahead and take 2 pills that day. If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. If you miss more than 2 birth control pills, call your health care provider for instructions. Those instructions may be to take one pill daily until Sunday and then start a new pack or to discard the rest of the pill pack and start over with a new pack that same day.

Any time you forget to take a pill, you must use another form of birth control until you finish the pill pack. When you forget to take a birth control pill, you increase the chance of releasing an egg from your ovary. However, if you forget to take any of the last 7 out of the 28 day pills you will not raise your chance of pregnancy since these pills contain only inactive ingredients. If you miss your period and have forgotten to take one or more pills, get a pregnancy test. If you miss two periods while taking the cyclic birth control pills (those that have the “inactive” pills at the end of the pill pack) even though you have taken all your pills on schedule, you should get a pregnancy test.

What is the best cotraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy?

Answer

I am on microgynon 30 and so I have been ok, no nasty surprises, however you will need to be careful for the 1st 2-3 weeks of starting any new pill and use addiction contraception. Just while your body can accept it.

 I have herd a few stories of people becoming pregnant while using it and other pills availble, but taking it at the same time daily and not being sick or having an upset stomache. you should be fully coverd. I have been using it for 4 years, their can be some side effects, headaches, sore boobs… but everybody is different.

Good luck

What is the absolute best way to prevent pregnancy during intercourse WITH A CONDOM?

What is the absolute best way to prevent pregnancy. Can someone please evaluate the chances of getting pregnant if the following are used:

1. Male condoms with spermicide (just incase)

2. Pull out before ejecuation

3. Birth control pills for 28 days (is this even necessary)

Please evaluate…or comment on how it can be improved…(or too much)

Answer

Chances of pregnancy is none if you are practising the three steps above together, no further enhacement is required; these three steps together is too much (as you said). If not broken during action condom is the best, with it pull out is not required, tabs creates hormone troubles to many, hence stick to the first option

Best way to prevent pregnancy when you want to make love?

What is the best way to prevent chances of being pregnant when you want to make love?

lets say

1.cleaning penis before wearing condom and wait for it to dry before putting condom on

2.using condom with spermicide(read something about this and it said spermicide irritates vagina and increases chances of breakage, so i shouldnt use condom with spermicide)

3. using lube to decrease chances of breakage

4. pulling out before ejaculation

what if i use all these steps. what are the chances?

THE ONLY chance of getting pregnant when using a condom is the condom breaking or slipping off right? thats what makes the 98%?

Answer

1) Use a condom. Every time.

2) She should be on the pill.

This gets rid of 98% of the chances of her getting pregnant… the 2% uncertainty comes from human error… just be careful.

What is the best way to prevent pregnancy after having sex?

What is the best way to prevent pregnancy after having sex? Today is the 5th day after having sex with my boyfriend. Is there any medicines (asides from pills, because pills will only prevent pregnancy if you take it right after having sex) that will prevent pregnancy???

Answer

It’s pretty much too late to do the morning after pill. All you can really do now is hope that you aren’t pregnant. In a few more days, go get a pregnancy test. If you’re pregnant, go see your doctor to discuss your options. If you’re not, thank whatever you believe in and promise yourself to be more careful in future. At least use a barrier method like condoms. What I do to be extra safe is I’m on the pill AND I use condoms. Your future is at risk here. You have to stay smart. Good luck, and I’ll be sending good thoughts your way!

Blessed be.

Is there any side effects from taking whey protein isolate?

I do not have diabetes but will taking whey protein damage my liver or my pancreas? Will it spike insulin levels or cause blood sugar problems. I understand that a big mac hamburger contains 30 grams of protein and so does a serving of whey so Im not concerned about any kidney damage. I just want a extra boost in energy is it safe>or is it even going to give me Extra Fuel i need?

Answer

There are side effects.

Firstly, large amounts of protein make blood more acidic. To neutralize the blood, calcium is drawn from the bones. Also, production of free radicals increases, so you should counter it with a lot of antioxidants .

Secondly, (this is not common knowledge, see Dr. Russel Blaylock’s books and website) any protein isolate contains exitotoxins similar to MSG that increase level of free glutamate in the body. Glutamate cause neurons to be super exited, and then die (very simplified explanation) The effect can be as devastating as Alzheimer’s in the far future or some health issues here in there in the near future - depending on what is the weak spot in your body. One person can get depressed for example, nothing would happen to another. So please use protein isolates with caution.

If you need energy boost, consider complex carbs (nuts/seeds/grains), they do not cause insulin spike because sugar gets into the blood gradually. And they contain plant protein. Almonds, for example, have a plethora of health benefits, and 21% of weight is protein. You may also consider using superfoods like maca , ginseng etc.

Hope this helps

What are the side effects of whey protein, if any at all?

I’ve been told its just protein, but I guess I look at it as a supplement and I get a little suspicious with supplements. I’ve also heard different things from different people so not really sure what to believe I guess. So, is there any side effects of whey protein? Any health risks, effects on penis size, etc? I did hear it can cause kidney problems if you take too much, but how much is too much? Thanks in advance.

Answer

No, you won’t get any serious side effects with whey protein. Actually, you won’t really get any, besides bulking up easier… About the kidney thing.. well it’s true that if you take more than like 60g at one time it could possible negatively effect your liver by overloading it, but as long as you take it in moderation (I never said don’t take 60g, I said don’t take a whole lot more..) you’ll be perfectly fine and very satisfied.

Side effects of whey protein?

Are there any short or long term side effects from taking whey protein?

Answer

Whey protein, are just that, protein - unlike some other types of supplements and drugs, whey protein supplements contain mostly whey and some other stuff like carbohydrates, calcium, some fats, and some fancy shimancy ingredients which really aren’t that special. So in other words, you can expect very little, if any side effects of taking whey protein supplements. Other than maybe gaining some lean mass, which is what you want. Also, there have been no documented side effects of whey protein, it’s just like the food you eat, causing no side effects.

Whey Protein - Any Side Effects? How long till it works?

I recently started using Whey Protein as a suplement for my workout plan. I use 1 scoop with milk in the morning and 1 scoop with water after my workout. How long before I start seeing any results? I’m pretty sure I can see a result after a week or so, but maybe it’s my imagination? =) (I got a pretty hectic workout plan, but it’s to be more firm, not for bulking up). Also, are there any side effects? I heard that it clogs, can mess up your kidneys etc. But as I can figure thats only if you over do it is a myth. I use bout 50 grams per day.

Thanks =)

Answer

Reading some of these answers is very comical. I don’t know why people post when they have no idea what they are talking about. Myth: Protein builds muscle. The fact is amino acids are responsible for muscle repair, it is true amino acids derive from protein, but certain types of protein contain different amino acids, so you cannot generalize protein. Myth: Protein damages kidneys. The truth is protein molecules are too large to be filtered through the kidneys, they are transported from the small intestine to the liver, where the liver decides to absorb them or send them on their way to be used elsewhere.

Let me help you out.

Taking protein will help increase muscle strength/mass. It is one of the few supplements that has been proven to work. Whey protein is a faster digesting protein, so I recommend taking it right after you work out. This get the amino acids into the blood stream and available for the muscles to grab. Casein is another type of protein powder you will commonly see. This is a slow digesting protein, so its going to give your body amino acids over a longer period of time. I would take casein protein right before bed or first thing in the morning. Milk has alot of casein protein and I like the fact that you mix whey(fast digesting) and milk in the morning. Of course, you have to eat a balanced diet, protein alone cannot build muscle. As far as i can tell you have a solid protein schedule and you should stick to it. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions. I enjoy answering questions in my field of research.

Whey protein for a sixteen year old???

hi there

i am 16 years of age and am 5 ft 5 iches tall,weighing 55 kilograms. I’m pretty lean and till recently had virtually no muscle on me.But over the last month I’ve been doing a hundred pushups a day, along with pull ups,squats,and crunches and have noticed that my body is getting toned.But now I need some mass in my body. Thing is,I am a vegetarian and hence my diet is limited.Also, I don’t do weights,coz I don’t want my height to get affected.I want to grow to around 5 ft 10 inches at least by the time I’m done with my growth.Now my question is…should I start using whey protein and continue my workout? Will it help me get more muscled? And does whey protein have any side effects like the dehydrating characteristics of Creatine? In short, can i start using whey protein soon along with a good workout? Will it help me get a better body? Thanks for your help.

Answer

Vegatarian?! enough with the nonsense!

If you want to grow then eat grain-fed lean meats like chicken and turkey. Also Beef and lamb are very high in protein. Eggs and fish are an excellent source of protein as well.

Stay away from Soy products as its an incomplete protein and your body does not digest the enzymes effeciently.

Whey will help. Take it AFTER your workouts. There will be no side effects to Creatine unless you are depriving your body of water. Thus you must drink more often than usual.

As for your workouts, you need to stress the muscles differently. Work out with weights (i.e. dumbells, barbells) and keep the reps down, anywhere from 5-10 reps per set for any given exercise. You will gain more muscle mass with low rep, high stress workouts.

There are no studies that confirm any side-effects that you mentioned.

As for ?llison response:

Soy protein IS an INCOMPLETE protein! They lack the sulphur bearing amino acids methionine and cysteine. The high-phytic acid in unfermented and processed soy (found in nearly all soy products) disrupts mineral absorption and can deplete your supply of zinc, magnesium, and calcium.

There is a reason why professional bodybuilders eat animal protein. Hormone injected animal products are obviously not good for several reasons that is why I suggested grain-fed, hormone-free meats.

What is the best vanilla whey protein powder?

I am looking for vanilla whey protein powder, but there is quite a lot of brands.

I would like advice from somebody who is hopefully a weightlifter with experience in taking protein powder to grow muscles.

Thanks.

Answer

Theres no such thing as the best one.

Technically the one with the best protein/carb - total product weight ratio would be the best, however at the beggining if you want to gain weight, I recommend the most cost effective one (best protein/carb - price ratio).

I use EAS which is top shelf, but it costs an arm and a leg.

Who sells the best 100% Whey Protein?

I am looking for a great product which can create lean muscle gain, tastes great and reduces fat. I have heard from friends and doctors that I do not have to spend a fortune either. Any suggestions?

Answer

Whey Protein is ideal for weightlifters, endurance athletes, and people who want to build muscle, because it is a fast-digesting protein that the body uses quickly to build and repair muscle. You’ll want to make sure you’re giving your body the protein it needs to build and rebuild lean muscle tissue. You also need antioxidant protection from harmful free radicals generated by intense and prolonged exercise.

Whey protein helps your body immediately build and rebuild muscle after exercise, while plant-derived digestive enzymes help your body process protein more efficiently. Nutrilite Whey Protein Powder comes in convenient, portable pouches with 25 g of whey protein in each serving.

Nutrilite Protein Shakes help you maintain lean body mass, with 25 grams of satiating protein your body uses to build and rebuild muscle tissue. You’ll also get antioxidant protection from harmful free radicals generated by intense and prolonged exercise, thanks to the exclusive Nutrilite C-Lenium Blend.

Nutrilite Protein Shakes have more protein than the competition, giving you more muscle-building power. Calories are equal to or lower than competitors, plus Nutrilite is the only shake here with no sugar, and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The fiber in Nutrilite Protein Shakes is comparable to Myoplex™ Lite, and far exceeds the fiber in CytoSport™ Muscle Milk™. If you’re watching carbs, Nutrilite Protein Shakes have the competition beat there as well. Power up with the right protein shake – made by Nutrilite.

You’ll love the creamy, chocolate fudge, decadent vanilla, and the sweet taste of strawberries and cream and feel confident that what you’re putting into your body contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

I hope this is helpful.
