Answer to:
My teeth have been yellow ever since i was a kid--what is the cause of this? i am not a smoker nor a coffee drinker, i floss daily, and have my teeth professionally cleaned twice a year. could it have something to do with the fact that i'm asian?
It could absolutely 100% be because you are asian. Asian people have a more yellow pigment than caucasian people, not only in their skin but also in their teeth and eyes. Same with many Indian people, I have many friends who have this problem.

Sebaceous cyst. If they become a big problem they can be removed. But otherwise just leave them be if possible
Answer to:
I have recently put lots of weight on since having the contraceptive implant in my arm. It's been removed but the weight is still being gained. Do I have a disorder?
No, I would say its your hormones still being jolted around. I had the same problem with implanon. I also gained weight when I went off the pill.
But if you notice yourself gaining weight too rapidly, or developing acne or facial hair see the doc as you might have polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Also, as a side note... could you be pregnant?
(although i see it was posted july... maybe not...
Answer to:
How do porn stars perform anal sex so easily?
Well surely the same question must be asked about gay men or heterosexual couples that regularly do anal. But for the porn stars, I reckon half of them must be high in the first place!

Answer to:
Do men think women over size 14 are sexy?
Believe it or not, I think its often also SOMETHING to do with personality etc.
My husband adores me. I'm a size 14 (aus) and he has dated women that were bigger than me before, and also women that were a lot smaller. He is skinny, but I'd still love him if he wasn't. He is my best friend, my lover and everything else, and none of that would change if I gained 10kg, or lost...

Answer to:
If an alcoholic forgets everything due to a head injury, will he or she still be addicted to alcohol?
Yes. In addition to a social dependence, alcoholics develop a physical resistance to alcohol, and withdrawal from alcohol can cause tremors, hallucinations, sweating, nausea and vomiting, and perhaps most worrying, detox-related psychosis which may render the person violent or suicidal.

Answer to:
Generally, how much money do they usually give you for your blood plasma donation?
Really? They pay you guys?
I live in Australia, and we don't get paid anything for blood or plasma. We get a milkshake and chocolate and leave with the satisfaction of doing something good for another person. Although, that said, people don't pay for blood transfusions either. Thank god for Medicare!
Answer to:
I was just placed on oxycontin 20mg ER, how long will it take for me to notice the pain relief?
Depends on a few factors, such as your past history- whether you have used opiod-based drugs or alcohol regularly (this will decrease your sensitivity to the medication, meaning you will require more for an analgesic effect). 20mg is not a huge dose, I am assuming you have been ordered 2 daily (12 hours apart?) this is the dosing regime we use. You will notice the effect of the drug within...
Answer to:
What causes a person to be paranoid, scared, and having trouble differentiating real events form things you are afraid of? ( I already thought of anxiety)?
Well, if it is severe enough that your friend is really unable to differentiate reality from fantasy I would say paranoid schizophrenia. But if they are just generally scared of unlikely events, I would say maybe just a generalised phobia.

Answer to:
Why do some women get constipated more easily when they're on their period?
It works both ways, some women get more diahorrea on their period. The uterus and the bowel affect each other due to their close proximity. It can also be related to the hormones you produce during your period.
Answer to:
Is liptor bad for a man of 63
This question needs more detail. Lipitor is a drug aimed at lowering cholesterol, so that would depend on your levels. But its quite common to see people over 55 or so on it. At least at my work.
