Why is there so much angst about man boobs. If you truly have Gynecomastia, then boost your testosterone level with a supplement, shot or cream. When you get your hormones back in balance, then your man boobs will go back to looking like a man’s chest. Right? Wrong.

There is no “Easy Button” in life. This includes losing your man boobs. But not just that issue, almost all health issues cannot be solved by simply adding a vitamin, hormone, mineral, whatever… You must go to the root cause and ascertain why your body is lacking that vitamin, hormone, mineral or whatever.

After you find out the why, then it is important that you solve the source problem and not just paint over the rust…

In the opening paragraph I suggested that we just add testosterone to the body thereby tipping the balance in the direction we desire. Unfortunately when we do that we signal our body that we have more than enough testosterone and our very efficient body then shuts down all natural testosterone production. As you can conclude, we now have created an addict. Because if you stop the augmentation of testosterone, there is no natural production to maintain the correct level.

It has been often stated that Gynecomastia symptoms occur when there is a hormone imbalance: too much Estrogen, too little Testosterone. Why is there an imbalance? Either the male body is making too much Estrogen or too little Testosterone. Which is it, or is it both?

A small tangent here, sometimes… the most effective strategy is to trick your body into believing a situation, then your body will respond and fix the issue by itself.

Another tangent – we do not want to disturb the balance of the body because all things relate to all things. If you push in one direction with pharmaceuticals or surgery, then you knock the body out of balance. The body reacts. Often it overreacts and the result is another imbalance now with a different issue. This continues indefinitely because you never addressed the source of the first problem and ‘convinced’ your body to solve it by itself.

Back to man boobs. What we need is something which will do one or all of the following:

Tell the male body that there is too much estrogen, then the male body will depress the production of estrogen. Tell the male body that there is a shortage of testosterone, then the male body will increase the production of testosterone.

The recommended long term solution is a diet and exercise program which creates the environment within the male body which stimulates natural testosterone production.This solution is not an Easy Button as I said earlier. It is certainly not impossible or difficult, but it does require persistence and discipline.

The closest thing to an Easy Button is called a Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The Tribulus Terrestis herb causes the body to increase production of LH which starts the chain of events which ends in more testosterone and a more normal hormone balance in the male body.

This herb actually has beneficial effects for both men and women.

If you are trying for a baby, chances are you will find out you’re pregnant sooner than if you weren’t. That’s because trying to conceive can be a nervous wrecking journey that turns you into an addict on testing long before the famous 2 weeks wait (after the ovulation) is over.

If you weren’t trying, you will probably find out when your period is late.

However, if your period is late and you:

* Are sick/nauseous,

* Need to go for a wee more often,

* Feel your breast tender and sore,

* Find more discharge on your underwear,

* Become aware of a strange change in taste,

* Are more tired than usual,

* Are constipated,

or some would say:

* Dream of babies and start looking for babies or baby-related stuff,

it’s probably time to buy yourself a pregnancy test and use it.

All home pregnancy tests detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in urine. If you get an early pregnancy test, it can give accurate results for a less concentration of this hormone in your urine. If you get a usual pregnancy test, you might have to wait up to four days after your period is due to get an accurate result.

Once you find out you’re pregnant, you can calculate your due date based on the first day of your last menstruation, by using our Due Date Calculator. You can change your status to “Pregnant” now and follow the progress of your baby with our Pregnancy Week by Week. Your priority however should be to contact your GP about it. He/she will advise you if anything needs to be done, based on your health history. He/she will refer you to a midwifery department that will provide the antenatal care for you throughout your pregnancy. They will probably invite you for a short visit to confirm your pregnancy and take an extra test that shows the concentration of glucose and nitrates in your urine.

Sometimes, a very light “spotting” of your underwear with blood is normal, however, if you feel it’s more than this, contact your GP or midwife straight away.

Teen chat rooms are a common form of computer addiction amongst our teenagers. There are many reasons why youngsters turn to this form of socialising, which can also be, potentially, very dangerous. Thankfully, with the massive media coverage outlining the dangers of chat rooms and meeting with strangers, many of our teenagers are now aware of the dangers involved. It is with these dangers in mind, that we as parents, must stress to our children and ensure they are aware of the possible dangers involved in meeting up with strangers.

As with other forms of computer addiction, teen chat rooms offer a degree of anonymity and the chat room addict can be who he or she wants to be. More often than not, chat room addicts start off with just a break from the routine of daily life. Studying, research, projects, assignments, etc. As time progresses and more chat room friends are added to the list, it becomes very hard to stay away from the computer. Different time zones mean staying up late or getting up early to meet with chat friends from other parts of the world.

Just one or two hours a day in the teen chat rooms is fine by any normal standards, but when the addict is spending the best part of the whole day in the chat rooms, that’s when it is time to start taking action and limiting the time spent at the computer. We, as parents, owe it to our children to take the necessary steps to reducing their time spent at the computer. From personal experience, it is not always possible to make your child understand that it is in his or her own best interest that you are doing what you are doing.

There must also be a hard and non-bending rule that personal information is not given out in teen chat rooms. It will be extremely difficult for the chat room addict, who is totally engrossed in the conversation, not to respond to an innocuous question such as “what is your last name?”, or “can I call you on the phone? What is your number?”. It is best to stick to your chat room name. Anything personal which is given away, innocently, in a chat room could result in them being identified. Again, this is knowledge gained from a personal experience. My teenager was once asked the name of his pet, he told them. It was the answer to his secret question. The account was stolen, the password changed, the address was found and his friends were sent abusive messages. Thankfully, nothing happened with the address. With regards to giving out a telephone number, you only have to go to Google, type in a telephone number and a name and address will be given, unless it is unlisted, of course.

Stay away from putting your photo as your avatar in teen chat rooms, it is best to put a photo of your pet, or better still, a picture of your favorite film star. Also, it is best not to give your exact location. For instance, the town you live in. It is much better to put the nearest large city as your location.

This article is not meant to alarm you. It is only intended to warn of the potential dangers that a chat room addict can face in teen chat rooms.

Remember, not everyone in teen chat rooms are teenagers!

I have been a cigarette smoker for over 40 years.

During that time I have smoked ten’s of thousands of cigarettes and spent thousands of pounds, ruined my health and all for my craving for the drug nicotine.

Yes I am an addict, addicted to nicotine.

Over the years I have tried and failed to give up my addiction many many times.

Just some of the methods I have used to try and help me stop have been:-

•    Hypnotism, it just did not work on me.

•    Patches, I am allergic to them, I come up with big red sore marks when I put them on.

•    Gum, made my jaw ach and could not find a flavour I liked.

•    Inhaler, this just burnt my tong and I wanted a cigarette as soon as I put it down.

•    Snuff, Now I really liked this one, there are many flavours and textures but you can look a bit funny using

it all the time in the 21st century and yes it does make you sneeze and it’s not too pleasant having to blow your nose all the time.

Now I know that all of the above have worked for other people, but not for me.

So at the age of 58 I had given up giving up!

Even though smoking cigarettes may one day kill me.

Then six weeks ago my wife bought me a Electronic Cigarette Kit.

I knew that she had wasted her money but I had no choice but to try it.

Within two hours I had changed my mind!

It feels just like smoking a real cigarette you get (smoke) vapour from the electronic cigarette, that you inhale as if it were smoke.

To me it was just like changing my brand of cigarette, all smokers have done that.

It now looks as if I don’t have kick my nicotine habit to be able to live a “normal” life.

No Fire means No Smoke!

Nothing is burnt when you “smoke” an electronic cigarette only a vapour is created.

When you breathe out it’s similar to your breath on a cold and frosty winters morning, you can see it as you breathe out but then it instantly disappears.

No real smoke means that I can get my nicotine fix when and where I want to.

My first stop was down at my local pub. It was great to wipe that smug smile off the faces of the non smokers.

There was me enjoying my vice without having to go outside and stand in the freezing cold.

And don’t forget the smoking ban in Airports. Yes I can use my electronic cigarette even there.

Then there is shopping malls, the work place and even company vehicles, ahhh!

No real smoke means, no smell, no passive smoking, no smell on your clothes.

So I have got some of my freedom back.

I can “smoke” every where!

That should be enough reason for me writing this but here is the Real Biggy!!

THE SIDE EFFECTS of an electronic cigarette

I can breathe freely again!

I was smoking 60 cigarettes a day.

My morning smokers’ cough could last two minutes and really began to hurt. Sometimes I felt as if there was a steel band around my chest.

The tars and toxins in the tobacco smoke were making me feel ill.

After six weeks of not giving up and using my electronic cigarette I feel great.

No morning cough, the steel band has gone and I sleep better.

I am not a doctor and I have not been to one but I know my own body, as I have had the same one for 58 years.  

I can now breathe deeper and walk further than I could a few weeks ago.

From 60 cigarettes to 2-4 refill cartridges a day – just how much tar is NOT going into my lungs every day?

Smoking is not smart or clever but if you are like me and don’t really want to give up,

you really should give an electronic cigarette a try.

One thing I have forgotten to mention…I am saving a fortune!!

Enjoy your Vice
