There is hope out there. I was in a research study that used a 2 week course of antibiotics that are usually used to treat travelers diarrhea. This has pretty much "cured" me of IBS. The generic name of the antibiotic is Rifamixin. It isn't FDA approved for this, but for other conditions. I'm a PhD Pharmacist Educator, so…

Enough meat to not look like a boy, not so much as to be 2 of you. There tends to a relationship between your outlook on the world (crabby vs roll with it), how much you like to "play" and how creative at play and the degree of worry over weight by the opposite sex, at least in terms of how men view women. I'll take…

This medication is an amphetamine derivative. It is pretty addictive and can cause psychosis type symptoms in many people. Bottom line: It's a very unhealthy crutch and I can't believe the FDA still allows it to be sold. (FYI- PhD in Pharmacy here with 29yrs of practice experience too.)

Give the kid a hug, tell him it's OK, rub a little dirt on it, don't make a major deal of the minor injury OR his reaction and he's ready to go back to playing. Neither the extreme coddling that I see too often or the also way too common macho man versions of dealing with this work. Note: I've 2 well adjusted young sons,…

That's horse hockey...I'm a liberal and I'm completely against Breathing trophies. I'm also again rich kids being born on third base and thinking they hit a triple, the conservative side of this coin.

In the same place as Snipe Hunting and Bigfoot Observing. For guys with menopausal wives it's about as common as those two other activities.

What you do is take the trophy and give it to the local Special Olympics for the kids who really do appreciate it, and who DO have a hard road ahead of them.

The "Trophy for Breathing" generation is a NIGHTMARE to teach in college. Too many have such unearned ego that they think they know everything. And heaven forbid you ask them to work hard. Go to Hulu and look for the SNL Skit "You can do ANYTHING". Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
