Some people don’t get morning sickness, only food cravings, but I have a twin sister..who was pregnent, and had morning sickness, so if I were pregnant, would I get the same thing as her, or what? But when do they normally start to get the sickness?

Does public health care really work in Canada? Does it really work in Sweden? Why will it or will it not work in the US.

In my opinion Public Health only works in countries where the citizens really take care of themselves, and the system isn’t loaded down where people suffer from self inflicted problems, cause by smoking or poor diet.
I do believe I asked “WHY” is doesn’t work. Not whether it works or not. I agree that Public HC doesn’t work in Canada.
Exellent answer Mommanuke!

I just want a few simple ways to control morning sickness please.

I can understand that for some types of medication with a longer half-life that it may take time to build up in your system. But there exist some drugs with a very short half-life (e.g. buspar) that take weeks before they begin to take effect. Why is this? My best guess is that your body is ineffective at metabolizing the drug until it begins producing more of a certain enzyme(s)… any input on this would be appreciated as I’ve always wondered about this.

Ever since I started working at home, I have been brewing up five or six 10-cup pots of coffee per day, and drinking them throughout the day. If I work late, I might end up drinking over five gallons of coffee. My average is probably 3.25 to 3.5 gallons of coffee per day.

Undernutrition continues to be a chronic problem for many countries throughout the developing world. What are some of the health problems associated with undernutrition?

Public schools and colleges have certainly not killed private schools and colleges, so I don’t think a universal health plan will kill private plans either. And both are in the general public interest since contagious sick people infect others, and all sick working adults cost their companies money by missing work. Personally, I’d like to see taxes on unhealthy fats and sugars to help pay for health care. What are your suggestions?

My mother is severely mentally ill and has been in facilities constantly for almost 10 years. I am her legal guardian and there has been a mix up with her social security and now they will be turning funds over to me which have to be spent within 7 days.
