With all the current talk about swine flu, it is time to consider bolstering my immune system so if I do get sick, I’ll recover faster. I know a good diet is important, but what besides vitamins is a good idea?

I am tracking my paternal grandmother’s ancestry and have hit a roadblock. I’d like to do dna testing to see, but I’m not sure which test would give me the correct results-admixture? Also, does it matter if it’s a female or male descendant who does the test? Since they’re expensive tests, I want to make sure we do it correctly! Thanks!

I just read from another question I asked that omega-3 fatty acids is good to take if your pregnant, but to be careful about mercury levels. Do omega-3 fatty acid pills have any mercury in them? Can I just have my wife take those pills instead of eating fish?

I have been trying to find a site that would explain it to me, but I have not had any luck. I just need to understand the basics of omega and delta shorthand notations for fatty acids. I can go from there. Website/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Can I boost my immunity while being pregnant?




I work in a Children’s Hospital and I am 5 months pregnant. I am around sick kids all day in my clinic and was wondering how I could possibly boost my immunity so I won’t get sick so often. Over the past couple weeks I have had 2 ear infections and now my chest is congested, nose is stuffy, and I am coughing so much that my throat hurts let alone my chest. Is there anything I can take to boost my immunity that doesn’t cost a fortune?

I was in an accident and severed three tendons in my forearm as well as damaging the nerve. Physical therapy was never really suggested by my surgeon and I was not given any instruction on what to do while my arm was in a cast for 6 weeks. Is this normal? Everything I have read encourages physical therapy about a week after surgery for injuries to flexor tendons.

there’s no vaccine to either. people die from both. not everyone who has gotten swine flu has died. most people who have died from the disease lived in impoverished areas, were very young or very old and their bodies weren’t strong enough to fight off the disease, didn’t have enough money to take care of themselves properly, or had poor hygiene. Is there really much of a difference between the swine flu and the regular flu? Are people worrying too much over the swine flu?

I ended up finding a kitten and taking him home. No one claimed him so I decided to find a home for him. I want to get him fixed before adopting him out. Since I found him, I’m fairly sure he hasn’t had any vaccinations. Would I be able to get vaccinations right before getting him fixed? Thanks for any help!
