Open Question: Is running three miles a day for a 51 year old safe for the heart?
A study came out that says vigrous exercise may increase you risk of heart disease (google & you will find it). I want to find out what you runners think about this, especailly those in my age range. Are you going to slow down?

Open Question: My dog just died earlier today?
Earlier today my 2 year old chihuahua died and we have no cause of death.She just recently went to the vet to get her rabie shots and she was doing just fine. Well this afternoon she was throwing up blood and wasnt able to stand and no muscle strength. Throughout the day she still was throwing up and was basically like a rag doll. Well toward mid day she was throwing up more and pissing blood and her skin was pale, rapid heart beat and strong breathing. She has been losing her fur over the last several month but she was as healthy as anything. We have 3 other dogs and they are all healthy we feed them 3 times a day and give them plenty of water,we bath them and we cherish are dogs. If there is anyone that can help me find out the reason and or disease and by what i said the symptoms of what my dog had please help me.
well by the time we knew what was going on with her it was to late to take her to the vet. All they would have done was put her down and i wanted by baby to die in my arms and its hard to think that she would have died from something.Toward poisoning we have no poison down he have a clean house and there is really nothing she could of gotten into she was my life.

Open Question: What do I do about my breastfed 8 month old?
My daughter has been breastfed since she was born, and still is. She never took formula, not even bottles. She only wants breastmilk straight from the breast.
So when my baby turned 6 months old, she was 15 pounds. Now she is 8 months tomorrow and she’s only still 15 1/2 pounds!!
My daughter has a heart murmur, so I took her to the cardiologist because of her slow weight gain, but she said her heart is fine.
She thinks that I don’t have enough breastmilk anymore (i pump and only get about 2 oz or 3 from each breast)
And since I’m feeding her solids now, I only breastfeed her about 4 times in 24 hours. She said that formula and breastmilk have lots of calories and that’s what keeps babys growing.
She said that she thinks my daugher is not getting enough milk, she says she needs more than 24 oz a day. Well, I think she’s only getting like 8 oz a day of breastmilk.
The thing is, I don’t have enough anymore. I am frustrated since she WON’T TAKE FORMULA. I am desperate, because the cardio doc wants her to gain weight in 1 month, and my daugther just won’t drink formula. Not even if she hasn’t ate in hours, she still won’t take it.
HELP??
She doesn’t like gerbers, or cereal either.
The only things she eats are home-made food and breastmilk.
lol, my daughter does drink from the sippy cup BUT ONLY WATER OR JUICE.. the thing is she doesnt like the taste of formula..
yea well since she was eating solids (not too much though), she got less hungrier for breastmilk .
but the cardio doc told me to only feed her a solid once a day, and feed her formula (or breastmilk IF I have enough) because she said that solids don’t have as much calories as milk.
She does wet her diapers about 6 times a day, and poops once a day.

Open Question: What are the chances of one parent having congenital heart disease of passing it onto their children?
Hello,
My husband was born with congenital heart disease (tetralogy of fallot), he is however an otherwise healthy 25 year old with no history of heart disease in his family background. I am a fit and healthy 24 year old with no background of heart disease in my family. I would like to know what are the statistics/chances that our children would end up being born with congenital heart disease?

Open Question: Muslims… Why has Allah set a seal on my heart?
Surah 2:6 “Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad ??? ???? ???? ????) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.”
Surah 2:7 “Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allah’s Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.”
It says crystal clear… ALLAH has set a seal. Allah himself has set a seal on my heart as a disbeliever. So I really should not feel bad that I am a disbeliever because it is not my fault.
Surah 2:10 “In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.”
It is clearly demonstrated in the Quran that disbelievers are blinded from truth and misguided by Allah himself. There is no other way you can put this. Some say it is referring to those who ignorantly time and time again deny Allah… But this is not specified. Even then, why would Allah give up on an individual?
If Allah is sealing the hearts of disbelievers, he is taking away their free will. That is not right.
I don’t mean to offend any Muslims, even though I’m sure I have. And if I have i’m sorry but I’m just expressing my thoughts.

Open Question: Medical Mystery- Just For Fun?
I think these are really fun so I’ve come up with a fictitious character, we’ll call him Patient A, and he has an illness. You get 5 questions to ask me, but I will give you information in the description.
Twenty-two year old caucasian male is brought into the hospital via ambulance after calling 911 complaining of sever fever, shivering, flu-like symptoms and joint pain. He is brought in with his friend, a twenty-three year old african american female. The friend explains that they returned from a semester-long trip overseas for their International Studies Program around a week ago. They were in several locations including England, France, Spain, China, Vietnam and several sub-Saharan regions.
Other symptoms:
Anemia
After being admitted:
-Nausea
-Extremely lethargic
-General feeling of malaise
-Headaches
Hints:
-Family history of heart disease, breast cancer and diabetes
-No other students on the trip are complaining of other symptoms
-He and the friend he came in with spent the entire trip together
-Was born in Germany and moved to the US several years ago
In order to win, you need:
A diagnosis
A test to confirm
A treatment or cure
Remember: If you have questions I will answer them. But you only get 5 as a team, so make them count.
Perfect job. You got it perfectly. I gave a big hint away with the joint pain and the Sub-Saharan visit.

Open Question: I several questions on michael jackson, of course because I’m a fan of his. Well 1. why michael wanted white?
kids?
2. why did michael name all his kids after his name, he even named his daughter paris, michael. He also named her after his mom katherine. Her name is “Paris kathrine michael jackson”. Also little Richie’s daughter was michael jackson’s god-daughter, and remember she played in a show with a girl name paris, I think that’s why michael named his daughter paris. And boy, he have both of his sons, prince and blanket with his full name. Is it that he tried to create “naturally born white” michael jackson’s, because he knew in his heart that he really was black and not white and achieved his goal through his kids?
3. why michael wanted that home alone child star “M. Calkin” the god-father of his kids? Is it because he thought of calkin of being a special white kid, then finually recieved special white kids of his own that he considered more special or just as special as calkin, that’s why he made calkin the god-father of his kids? Remember michael jackson is a very talented person and charming, but he has a lot of issues, I think I might of figured some out, at least it seems that way.
4. And why michael jackson never made mention of his girlfriends during the time he dated them or even after he dated them? He dated stephanie mills, she was a singer, people knew who she was, so why michael did’nt let the public know he dated her, also romonica morris, he did not let the public know about her either when he dated her in the 80’s, but he let the public know he was dating brooke shields in the 80’s. And he also did not let the public know he was dating shana mangatal either in which he dated in the 90’s. But michael had no problem with letting the public know about tatum o’neal or brooke shields. Is it because he did’nt want to be seen with black people on a personal level, it’s different having them in your music video’s because it’s just a video.
5. And do anyone know why michael jackson wanted to have white skin. I mean his skin was beautiful, it was just right, it was’nt black, to dark, but it was brown. And I don’t want to lie to myself, making myself believe michael had skin disease, because it’s a big lie, michael lies a lot, he said he only had two nose jobs knowing he was lying. And if he did have skin disease why all of a sudden he got it as an adult when he was in the process of getting lots of plastic surgery?, and his skin disease did’nt come in patches like real skin disease, it came as on e big whole from head to toe being one color changing from brown to white and whiter. The pictures you see in youtube claiming he had skin disease in trick photography. The slim nose and white skin is just to much of a perfect match of wanting to be white. Sorry for the lots of questions, but I’m a “real” big fan for years of michael jackson and it really hurts to see michael see his own race not so appealing, when all the talent he had came from his race. And to see how he thought of himself as looking better as the way he did before he died than the way he did in the 80’s during the thriller time and moonwalker time is just sicking to me. It really hurts, it really does to see michael disown his race. Sometimes it can be dangerous living on your own alone from your family, thats the perfect opportunity for demons to have conversations with you, at least they did in michael jackson’s case. You see the way he looked before he died, he made a big mess out of himself, he just should of stopped in the 80’s on the plastic surgery and never got into the bleaching stuff. He battled many demons.
