What to Do About Pica - A Game Plan:
Pica Eating Disorder can be a passing fancy in toddlers or a deadly addiction and anything in between those points. Thus, we need to use a common sense approach to look at pica and ask for help from the approriate professionals.
Complications:
1) Pica has caused constipation (aso a sign of sexual abuse in some children), intestinal cramps, pain, bowel obstructions, inflammation, gastrointestinal perforations, and infection produced by ingested parasites (can be fatal).
2) MALNUTRITION - Amylophagia can cause weight gain in the presence of malnutrition, a confounding phenomenon - the starch provides calories without nutrients. Amylophagia during pregnancy can look like gestational diabetes and must be considered in the differential diagnosis. Compulsive ice eating can decrease the absorption of nutrients by stomach and intestines and cause malnutrition.
3) Eating lead-based paint or mercury-content paper can result in poisoning.
For a commonsense Game Plan to help you or your loved ones, incuding all the details, access the link above and follow it step by step.

Why Do Women Have All the Luck?
Why Do Women Have All the Luck?:
A reader writes in:
"Why is it that women on average live 10 years longer than men and yet men are expected to work for longer, giving them less retirement fun time before they die?”(sic)
Reader, your question implies that:
1. Men work a greater number of years on average than women,
2. Women live 10 years longer on average than men,
3. Men have fewer years total available to them for enjoyment,
4. Men enjoy fewer years than women of happiness in retirement before death ,
5. Women enjoy an unfair advantage of longer lifespan and less work than do men,
6. Men should not have to work so long,
7. Women should be punished, not given a natural advantage,
8. Someone should be able to fix this.
The original premise is erroneous and the answer will hopefully stop spam sellers. Click the link for the counterpunch.

A Fine Romance
Valentine's Day is coming up in about a month and some people are becoming tired of attempting to think up ways of celebrating the day. Others would simply like to chuck the whole event and go hide somewhere, like some of the stars of these entertaining romantic comedies on British television --
Dame Judi Dench and Sir Geoffrey Palmer are hilarious in several years of As Time Goes By and its reunion movie. Before than, Dame Judi starred with her own husband Michael Williams in A Fine Romance about the romantically challenged.
This might be the year to celebrate Valentine's Day differently, with a funny yet heartwarming film that will remind you that we are all human. See more wil some video clips and a whole episode at:

Film Review: Leap Year (2010)
Leap Year, starring Amy Adams and Mathew Goode, is an engaging family film with some bite and surprise to it. The whole family can enjoy it together, but the language and the sheer oceans of alcohol consumed in it might lever the rating up to PG-13 from PG.
I liked the fact that the whole audience seemed to be laughing out loud quite often during the showing, and so was I. The film also has an uplifting moral without being preachy.
The plot is hilarious - a young professional woman livign with her boyfirned for 4 years (we never see a love scene between them, however) is disappointed in not receiving an engagement ring for Valentine's Day and flies to Ireland after him to propse on Leap Day, February 29. The weather and transportation are all dead set against her doing this and each delay is more humorous than the last.
My pastor states that all delays are from God and in this film, maybe they are just so. Whomever they may be from, He has a sense of humor. Irish legends and misquoted superstitions add a layer of hilarity to the already slapstick proceedings. By the time a viewer leaves the film, he feels pretty happy, Recession or no.
I will say that I noticed something about the audience in the matinee slot I saw the picture. This was that it seemed to be one of the most obese audiences I have seen in the MidWest. Being good at calculations, I found that 75% of the audience was in the obese category at least, that about half of these were women, with an overlapping half of the 75% (men and women) having to be over 150 pounds overweight. Though few children were in attendance, one eight-year-old girl caught my eye, because she was over 25+ pounds overweight already.
What's happened to the MidWest during the Recession of 2008 - 2009 or '10? It seems to have gained more weight, and not all form the Holiday Fortnight or 12-day. This cannot be good for for their health and will give the new Healthcare Plan from Washington a run for its money in the near future.
