If your baby has HIV get them started on treatments as soon as possible it can cut their risk of dying down to 4 percent. I know that if it was my child I would do everything in my power to keep my child alive and out of pain. They are to be my whole life. Hopefully this will save many babies lives.

Biggest danger for hunters? Heart attack, not stray bullet
URL: http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/10/27/hm.hunter.hazards/index.html
This is an important topic to me because I have family and close family friends who go hunting every season. I've grown up around hunting and it just seems natural to me. It never occurred to me that they could possibly not come home. The thought of even getting hit by a "stray" bullet never crossed my mind; nor did the thought of them getting a heart attack while hunting. I just hope that the next time I see them after going hunting is in a casket.

I took the test and it said I would live to be 78. I was surprised cause I don't think I'll live that long. But it tells me that I could live to be 114 years old, if I really tried. I think that is wayyy to old to live. I wouldn't be able to handle living to be 114 years old.

I think that everyone should get the HPV shot. It lowers your rate of getting cervical cancer. Its a scary thought to women to get cancer. I must say that from having close women in my life dying from breast cancer HPV is scary too.

I thought I was bad enough as it is always washing my hands, and now I can see myself even just being more into cleaning my hands and everything all day.

Everyone needs sleep, it re-energizes the body so that you can function the next day and if you don't sleep your completely lost.

My massage on 9.23.2008
My massage on 9.23.2008 was alright. It helped me get relaxed and clear my head, but it didn't help my back in anyway. I still have back pain in my lower back and my right shoulder. I felt that when getting my massage that the pain could of been relieved if they actually took their time and put a little bit more effort into the massage knowing that the muscles would be tight.
Massage therapy may have immediate positive effect on pain and mood for advanced cancer patients

It is shown in studies that there is improvement in pain and mood, immediately following treatment was greater with massage than with simple touch. Massage may also interupt the cycle of distress also. This may help patients feel better even when they are at their worst.

Not just women can get breat cancer. It may be more rare in males than in females but everyone should be cautious of what is going on. Males usually find the cancer when it is more dangerous. It is easier for males to find the tumor then females and the males tumors seem to be larger. Hopefully there is more tests done and more information released to the public so people can become aware of things that may happen to them.
