With all the talk about eating raw foods and their safety, I started wondering about the eggs I eat in the morning (either at home or in a restaurant).
I never thought of this, but the eggs can be considered partially raw, if they are "sunny side up" (yoke runny), right?
Is it safe to eat this type of egg, or do they need to be fully cooked ("over easy") or even scrambled?

I can not figure this out, and would love your thoughts!
I just read this story on Nigeria arranging marriages based on positive HIV-status. Basically, to stop the spread of HIV, the solution is to pair HIV-positive couples together (they can say "no" to a potential mate), in hopes they will no longer spread HIV to others.
Health experts are saying this is a bad idea, for so many reasons. The solution they seek is: wear condoms when having sex!

In the news today is an announcement from researchers who say that there is absolutely no correlation between Autism and the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. This is pretty huge in the Autism world, considering there are so many parents and parent advocates out there who believe otherwise.

My daughter has been having pains in her side which we suspect may be connected to her Ovulation. She is 13 and has been menstruating for about a year now. We took her to our Pediatrician but I don't feel confident they are well versed in this area to treat her.

I am cleaning out my medicine cabinet and drawers and want to know the best way to get rid of my expired prescription drugs. With the drugs in the water story from a few months back, I don't think dumping them in the water system is the best way to go. But putting them in the garbage doesn't seem that safe either. Any one know of the best way to go about this?

I have had my thyroid and hormones tested, but did not ask to have the free hormones tested. I have had surgery to fix deviated septum and used a cpap machine for mild sleep apnea. cpap machine made me more tired.

How do I know when I should use a heating pad on an injury vs. a cold pack? Do they do the same thing? Is heat better than ice for some injuries? Thanks.

My friend's daughter is having tubes put into her ears. What is this for? Is it painful, and how long are these tubes in place?

Well, I've tried two different types of life-jackets and swimsuits with floating-devices built in, and neither worked!
What have you used when taking your toddler to the beach? Around the swimming pool, he just wears swim diapers/swim shorts, but I'd like him to have something else for playing at the beach.
What we tried so far:
1. A full-out life jacket, with neck support..he was terrified of it and could not move. So, at the beach, this would be off more than on.
