I have a 5 3/4 year old son. He is totally addicted to salt. I catch him hiding and just eating it from the shaker. I have to hide it. Could this be a sign of a deficiency or a medical problem?

Hi everybody! Why do almost all people wait until they get a serious medical problem to start living healthy? I’ll give you some examples of what I mean in the form of questions. Why does a smoker start stopping to smoke after smoking for 50 years after they find out they got terminal lung cancer, such as emphysema? How come an alcoholic stops drinking after they kill somebody on the road while driving drunk? Why do sexually promiscuous people all of a sudden start living healthy after they get a terrible, incurable STD, like HIV/AIDS? Another example could be why do people deal begin to finally deal with their obesity and being overweight after the doctor tells them they now have heart disease or diabetes? People are weird and procrastinate by nature in my opinion. Any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

. asked:


I want to eat at least 12 carrots a day, and drink at least 3 cups of carrot juice a day, for a period of one year. This is an experiment to see how it makes me feel. I know from past experience with eating this amount of carrots that it will give me carotenosis.

So, would I be more likely to develop a medical problem if I have carotenosis for a year or longer?

Jaycee asked:


I’m in desperate need of a wheelchair and I was wondering if anybody can refer me to a Medical supply place that takes MadiCal in Southern California? I tried Golden Valley and Core Products but both have ditched me. I tried this place called the Sun but they don’t take MediCal because they’re new and only been around for 6 years. Anybody know of some other places? They have to be able to take MediCal not Medicare. Maybe somebody can give me some info? It’ll be much appreciated!
Maybe have a phone number or address to contact them at?

curious asked:


I was interested in buying some professional grade medical supplies for myself, IE saline drips and whatnot, and couldn’t find if it was legal to purchase them in Maryland since I’m not a registered doctor.
