How do you get rid of marijuana from your body?
Wait for six months, don't use, and be patient.
Nothing else is effective.
Why is it when you eat store made lunchmeat you feel sick?
There might be some sort of enzyme you're missing. It might be a good idea to figure out what is causing these symptoms since it might be indicative of something else. Most of the time, its something simple, easily remedied and more beneficial to treat the underlying cause.
It could be indicative of a gallbladder issue http://www.drhoffman.com/page.cfm/140
Now, if its a meat allergy, you might find hidden meat allergens in things like marshmallows, candies, ice cream, jello, vaccines (rashes when you get shots?). You could also be allergic to meat, the additives or any number of things. Have you guys tried additive free meat? That might be it.
Not generally. Stress, however, lessens the effectiveness of the immune system, which predisposes us to catching some of the illnesses that can cause laryngitis.
Laryngitis is itself not contagious, but if the condition is caused by a contagious illness, such as bronchitis, strep throat, or influenza (the flu), those can be transmitted. Sometimes, however, people can develop laryngitis just from overusing the vocal cords. In that case, it cannot be transmitted.
If you have it, you should rest your voice; do not speak if you can help it, but don't whisper because that'll actually irritate your vocal cords more. If you only have laryngitis, you probably don't need bed rest, but if you try to continue your activities and find you actually feel terrible, heed your body and rest!
Stay hydrated. Fluids are definitely important. Don't drink anything that irritates the throat!
If you have the type of laryngitis that comes from another illness, such as influenza (the flu), bronchitis, pneumonia, or strep throat, you should not only be on bed rest but under a physician's care. If you have a bacterial infection you probably need an antibiotic, but viral infections are not treatable that way.
If you have the type of simple laryngitis that comes from overuse of your voice, resting your voice and sucking on cough drops or hard candies or even Sucrets (but read the label first!) will help, plus things like popsicles and ice cream.
But one caveat: if you suddenly find you are having severe difficulty getting your breath in, and have to struggle to get enough air, go to your nearest hospital ED, because, though extremely rare, that condition would be a life-threatening emergency. Very rarely, the laryngeal tissues can swell sufficiently to block the windpipe, or, even more rarely, the epiglottis (located just above the larynx), will become inflamed too and block the breathing passage (windpipe, trachea). If you suffer from asthma or have a very narrow windpipe, this can complicate things.
Take care of yourself and you'll soon be well.

Why one side scrotum is larger and hang lower than the other?
This is actually the normal situation. One testical will assume the majority of the work and will grow larger. This is a noticeable asymmetry but not terribly so. If one of your testicals starts getting really big it may be a sign of a hernia or of testicular cancer. Needless to say - pay a visit to your doctor for a check-up.
What can you eat to raise low blood pressure?
Increasing your sodium (salt) intake is the best way of treating a low blood pressure, short of hypertensive medication (which is unavailable in the UK, but available in France and some other EU countries). It takes quite a lot of salt to increase blood pressure, so there's no real need to worry about "eating too much of it". However it is quite an effective treatment - you should notice a benefit from adding (at least) an extra couple of teaspoons of salt to your diet, daily.
How do you get therapy without your parents knowing?

Is there self help for compulsive lying?
People mostly lie to get attention so my advice for you is find out who isn't giving you enough attention and talk to them about it.
Plan B- convulsive lying can be a hard thing to stop doing. but just take baby steps. like if someone asks you if that's your natural hair color, or someone asks if you are busy tonight. then you can start telling the truth about bigger things.
Plan C- check out the website compulsivelyingdisorder.com

Why is sexual acting out common in people with borderline personality disorder?
Acting out, especially sexually, is very common among those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It is related to impulsiveness, which may be due to a dysfunction in their frontal lobe. It also may be related to their efforts to avoid abandonment (which tends to be frantic and obsessive), their emotional reactivity (which may be due to increased activation of the amygdala), and it may be a way to try to combat the feelings of emptiness that are often a symptom. Unstable sense of self can also be an issue among those with BPD and perhaps this is a way for them to try to stabilize that.
How do you pass spirometry test?

How many law of attraction fans are there?
I am what you can call a "law of attraction fan". I have conducted a law of attraction experiment in which I tried to manifest one small desire of mine (like a packet of noodles or a guava) using the law of attraction.
Do you have any question related to the law of attraction? Has it affected your life?
Samuel Smiles was the father of the self help movement. In 1859 he self published the book Self Help which became a best seller the first year and by 1904 had sold a quarter of a million copies. A Scottish politician in Victorian England, he was a proponent of social and political reform.
His book centered around the idea that people must use their resources to better themselves rather than become accustomed to poverty by inaction. He advanced the notion that the poor could raise themselves from poverty into middle class by their own actions; a revolutionary idea at the time.
What do you do if there is no hope?
There is always hope. God gives us hope each and everyday. Even if you don't believe, try praying before you go to bed. Tell him about your problems and try to open your heart. I promise if you truly try to have a connection God will answer your prayers in some way or another. It might not be the way you want, but he will do something. The answer might not come as soon as you would like. Just remember, things could ALWAYS be worse. There's starving kids in Africa that are dying everyday. You should be thankful for what you have.
Answer:
Obviously there are situations where you aren't going to come out at the far end (mine disasters, terminal cancer. old age, submarine accidents and so on). It isn't going to matter what you do, nothing is going to change. So folks write notes to relatives if they have time or record messages in other ways. Some opt to kill themselves to conserve air or rations for others that are trapped with them, others steal everything they can for themselves.
Less serious cases which people describe as having no hope - recoverable sickness, job loss, marriage breakups, etc. - are not terminal and your own hard work and effort will see you through. Don't count on supernatural help. Professional counselling, police, EMT and friends are going to be more help.
Is picking and tearing at your calluses bad for your health and does it make them harder to go away?
It definitely makes them harder to go away because when you pick at the callus, it makes the skin want to defend even harder, so, therefore, the callus gets thicker and it's harder to get rid of. I'm not sure if it's really bad for your health, but it could get infected if you go too deep...
