Natural Body Building knowledge base
i want to get into natural body building. do you think i should get off my birthcontrol pill? there's not a whole lot of research on how the pills effect women who want to get into body building but from what i know of physiology...elevated estrogen levels do NOT make good conditions for maximum muscle hypertrophy (i.e muscle growth) because estrogen and testosterone work homeostatically (i.e when one is high the other is low to maintain some sort of balance). what's your opinion? experience?
Natural body building limit? I've been training for a couple months now and I've seen some great gains but I'm just wondering how far I could take it. I'm not into competing or anything like that but I'm just curious how big someone can get naturally. Also who is the biggest natural?
I am trying to teach my son (11 yrs old) the difference between natural body building and steroid use...? any one know where I can find some GOOD sites to compare the 2 different body types...those that take steroids and those that don't...He looks at John Cena as a hero and I'm trying to explain that these men and women are on drugs...(the whole Benoit thing didn't phase him) One of the reasons as to why I don't want him watching this crap is because he tries to pull these moves on him 4 year old brother and 10 year old step brother...and anyone else that walks in the house, including the dog...I am trying to explain to him that these guys aren't naturally big and didn't get big like that just working out..he tries convincing me that John Cena is no bigger than my husband!! I'm like...um...yeah he is! my husband has a naturally muscular physique, with a few years of working out...years...now these wrestlers go from 190 lb wimps to 310lb power houses in 6 months (exaggeration I know but not by much)..Any sites? I've already tried googling and got no where...Help??? is it too late to change that "him" to "his" 4 yr old brother....??? LOL...hit submit before I edited... FYI...the point of this question isn't about body building...it's more of trying to get him to understand that the wrestling world that he so looks up to is actually fake and dangerous. And, I'm trying to do this first by showing him the difference in natural muscles and steroid use muscles...he thinks John Cena has the ideal body for a man...he doesn't understand that he's on steroids...he knows why steroids are bad but he sees these wrestlers as natural...so I need some sites that have pictures of both so I can show him the difference so he'll get off this pro-wresting kick and I can rest assured that he's not going to pull these moves on everyone and everything...I need to Unglorify this!!! And I don't know how!!
Natural Body Building? I'm 22 6"5 and 310 lbs. I'm obese i know. But with the economic crunch, and the fact that i'm a college student about to go to seminary, I cant afford a gym. Can anyone tell me of some good exercises to do that don't require much money and preferably (no dumbbells or weights) I need to loose weight and keep the muscles that i already have. Plus tone them and build them using my own body weight. I would think that because i am overweight i would be able use my weight as an advantage. I'm open to pretty much anything. Please be detailed. Websites would also help. Thanks in advance everyone!
How do I get involved in women's competition body building? I am a petite woman who is interested in getting more information about body building as a competitor. I don't mean Arnold size big, but I'd like a look with well defined muscle groups...something more natural looking. Do you know of anything out there? btw, I live on the East Coast, Maryland DC area.
Building a natural swimming pool? Any body know anything about building a natural swimming pool? I want to build one but my backyard is about a 40% slope - just wanted an idea of how I could accomplish building one on a slope. I'm in the US where most people don't know about them, so I'm pretty much on my own. Oh - and can't I put in a waterfall, instead of an air pump?

help getting body mass? hey guys, I'm a 16 year old male who will be a senior in high school next year and i need a little help. My natural body build is really small, right now I'm 5 '10 and 116 pounds, my 8 year old little brother weights almost as much as I do and we can almost fit into the same shorts. School has just let out and I have decided to devote my summer to gain some body mass. Obviously I want most of it to be muscle so I got a membership for the local gym and am going to be going to it regularly. on top of that im going to eat a crap load of food and make sure and get plenty of sleep every night. the basic plan i was thinking of was working out monday through thursday at the gym, doing a card deck workout on friday, running a couple miles on saturday, and then doing nothing on sunday. some people say you should only work out like 2 times a week but i really need it and i have nothing better to do anyway. im pretty inexperienced when it comes to this stuff so id really appreciate any input :)
Can your body build a tolerance to fiber? I take fiber pills every day. I use to take 2 and it seems like I needed to increase the intake to stay regular. Now I take 3. They are 100% Natural psyllium seed husk. I was wondering if your body builds up a tolerance and if you need to increase your intake? Or should 3 be enough for ever?

Does anyone know anything about natural herbal remedies vs prescription medications? I have gone to a couple of chiropractors who both are into body building and both prescribed me natural supplements to take the place of my prescription medicines, such as Zoloft & Vytorin for cholesterol. In place of the Zoloft they said St. John's Wart and instead of the Vytorin it was some kind of fruit pectin something. They said that the pharmaceutical companies take the natural herbs and strip them down to make the prescription medicines. Is this true???
(Garnier Summer Body) What am i doing wrong ? I brought the lotion version a couple of days ago. This is the one that moisterises your body and 'should' build a natural looking tan. However after using this for 4 consecutive days i have not hardly seen a result. I have noticed on the browner parts of my body, like my arms it has chaged very very slightly. I read lots of reviews on how much of a great product this is but i havent had that effect yet. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong, or is it just the lotion. Please awnser. Fanx You. x x :D
could it be possible for my body to produce alot of natural protein that builds muscles? I been working out and eating right for the last 3 months and have lost around 30 pounds. Recently i started doin tae boe approx twice a week and have found that i am building muscles to the extent that i can see alot of definition in my legs and arms. Although i have been told that when a woman does weight training it will take alot of weights to build muscle and not to worry about bulking up, But in my case i have only done taeboe like 3 weeks (6 sessions) and find that im buidling muscle ,, mind u i would rather have muscle than excess skin. was just curious as to why is this happening in my body. Hope i make sense ,any answers regarding this question would be greatly appreciated :)
I'm starting to use Jergens Natural Glow Body Lotion but I'm scared!!? I am currently using Fake Bake Tanning Lotion but I think because of the large amount of DHA in it, I'm allergic. I noticed that if i use gradual tanners, they don't bother me but if I use something that tans me overnight, I itch like crazy. So now, I'm using Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer (the fair one, since I'm pasty white) to start building a tan OVER the Fake Bake tan, since my face is starting to lose some color. I figured it's good to start now rather than later. I just don't want to turn orange. Have you found that you turn orange when using this lotion? I'd especially like to hear form fair-skinned people, as even the most raved about lotion has turned me orange. Can I use the body lotion on my face? I plan on going out and getting the face lotion tomorrow but for now I've been using the body lotion on my face. I just don't want it to clog my pores because my face is really looking good right now pimple-wise. Thanks!
Can body building be unhealthy? I see a lot of body builders look like they "over do it" in my opinion. Like look at this dude: http://z.about.com/d/bodybuilding/1/0/X/2/HugoAtHomeGym.JPG He is really big, and looks a lot like the dude from 40 year old virgin, but his muscles look human and natural. This dude on the other hand: http://i.b5z.net/i/u/230085/i/Ronnie_Coleman.jpg Does not look healthy In my opinion. It is not natural to be that big with muscles, and I think it is actually quite creepy. My question is: Is it actually healthy to be like the second dude? I know exercising is good, but that seems a little over done.
Does working the larger muscle groups in the body increase testosterone, & capacity for muscle-building? I've heard working the leg muscles will increase my gains in my upper body & all-around, because of a gain in testosterone from working these larger muscles. In the past I've only done major resistance training in my upper body, being mostly content with my lower body since I'm an avid hiker & fairly active person. & my gains have been moderate but steady ( 30 lb's over 5 years ) I'd like to hear some educated answers from people with either very communicable personal experience or knowledge in physiology or exercise physiology. I do NOT want advice on raising testosterone by any un-natural or supplemental methods.
Are any of you in to body modification? Body modification is simply manipulating the natural processes of your body in order to reach a desired result .....the most common forms are Tattoo Piercings Body Building Tanning I have tattoos and I lift weights cause I want my body to look a certain way.. what about you all
How can I build a slim and slender body? Before I left for college, I was about 5' 7" and weighed about 135 lbs after not working out for a month (so i'm guessing this is after i lose my muscle). this is my natural body state, with no exercise and eating whatever i want as much as i want (my metabolism is really high). so when i came back for winter break, i now am an inch taller and 155 lbs. i've been working out, doing about half hour workouts on a cycling machine 2 times a week and weight lifting once a week, and most of the weight i gained is muscle, but i don't want to have a built body, i'd rather go back to being slim and toned. what is the best way to diet and to work out to achieve this? o btw, i'm almost 19, and before i left for college, i was in a sport that i participated in about 2 times a week, which is the exercise i stopped for a month before i left.
I'm interested in Female Body Building, I'm out of shape & would like to pursue this.? What would be the most inexpensive way to start. I've got to make some changes in my life to improve my health and since I've always held an interest in this, to me it's a natural pursuit... financially though I'm not able to afford much. I know I need to start slowly though since I'm like way out of shape. Where do I begin, without going into debt? Please don't post answers trying to sell me crap, 1 I won't buy them 2. That is against community guidlines
Why do people tend to see birth as risky versus a natural normal function of the female body? I mean you could choke at every meal you sit down to but you don't always have a CPR or Heimlich specialist sitting with you for every bite. You are more likely to die in a car wreck but people keep driving... The female body was built to carry a baby and deliver a baby. OCASSIONALLY things go wrong. But for the majority of healthy women with heathly pregnancies and babies, why do they need to see a specialist like an OB/GYN, when a midwife is just as qualified for a normal birth!??? Kimi: So, someone who sees a midwife care less about their baby???? Mom of 6: Actually that is not true. The "technologys that have advanced the outcomes for mom and baby are thus: Hand washing The ability to do a blood transfusion and Antibiotics Read Birth: A Suprising History of How We are Born by Tina Casidy I ABSOLUTLEY AGREE WITH THOSE WHO SAY IT IS PERSONAL CHOICE. The question is are you making an informed one? You can have just as good of outcome in a hospital with an OB as you do at home...But the odds are against you. I hope that everybody has good births and safe birth. But homebirth is NOT a selfish choice. K M: My argument is that OB's are a specialist...They do not just deal with pregnancy and birth they deal with womens health...cancer etc...There time is much more valuable. Most people see a primary care physician...Who can help with most anything normal...BUT IF something goes wrong THEN he refers you to a specialist...Like an Ear, Nose Throat, Oncologist, etc... A midwife is like the primary care ...They see you for normal things...If you need a specialist for a high risk pregnancy by all means see one, but why do it if you don't have to. Birth accounts for 60% of all hospital revenue...That means for normal women to have normal deliveries the cost is higher, and you pay more for health insurance...Ob's only show up to catch anyway...A midwife supports you the whole way!!! Potblack... Childbirth has never been a leading cause of death for women...I would like to see that study. Until the early 1900's c-section was a leading cause of birth deaths because they didn't have sterilized equipment or know much about anesthesia, or use it for that matter. As far as cost and c-section rates I am talking about the USA! You can read all this info in these books: *Born in the USA by Marsden Wagner, *Birth: A suprising History of How We Are Born by Tina Cassidy, *Obstetric Myth Versus Research Reality by Henci Goer, *The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth By Henci Goer, *Birthing From Within by Pam England & Rob Horowitz, *Pregnancy, Childbirth & The Newborn by Simkin Whalley and Keppler, *The VBAC Compainion by Diana Korte, *Childbirth Without Fear by Grantly Dick-Read... Yes I have read all those books and more and sited them off the top of my head. Go to Youtube and watch the trailers for these two documentaries: Pregnant In America http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3WWNKurKjA The Business of Being Born: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DgLf8hHMgo I am not saying you cannot have good outcomes at a hospital, I realize many, many do. And YES absolutley homebirth IS NOT for everyone...I just wish people knew the facts...
Healthy weight-gaining protein powder? I took muscle-milk naturals for a long time but was deterred by the amount of saturated fat in it... I switched to Jay Robb, but it was not enough calories (zero fat) are there any natural body building formulas that are natural but really help to build muscle?
Does living in cold climates build up natural immunities to illnesses? I'm an 18 year old guy and I moved to Canada when I was 3 where I lived for 2 years. In kindergarten, all they ever did all day was make us play outside in the cold for hours on end(negative temperatures most of the time including the wind chill factor). To this day, I eat nothing but junk food yet I don't get sick ever, I wear shorts in the cold and don't feel cold at all, and my doctor said that my natural body temperature is exactly 98 degrees instead of the regular 98.6. Does staying out in a cold climate really build up immunities to illness?
Looking to get into the field of personal training...? That pretty much explains it. I dated a guy who participated in natural body building shows and worked at a supplement store... it kinda stuck with me. Now I have this huge passion for working out and learning more about supplements and their results on the human body... But I'm kinda at a lost at how to turn this in to a career!! My family open'd a gym in my hometown so I thought... theres a start. Plus I have the intrest and determination to get this done. If I could get pointed in the right direction that would be great!! I'm sure I need certified so if anyone has information about college courses I could take that would be a BIG help!! I'd love to correspond with anyone who has answers! Thanks! :-)
How do I get rid of all those toxins in my body? I always hear about how terrible it is to have built up toxins in your body. I hear that the toxins come from just about everywhere (The polluted air, the chemicals in food..etc..) I always see different kids of pills and drinks that you can take to "clean out your body" but I really dont want to spend money on any of those pills...(I tend to have bad reactions to certian things..i'm very prone to headachs, etc...).. I'm curious about natural ways to get rid of toxins. Different fruits and vegetables that are good for such things. I'm sure drinking water is good (which i drink A LOT of...I ONLY drink water actually, I dont like juice or sodas..) .. I'm trying to lose weight (I'm about 70lbs overweight. I'm only 19 years old...I'm currently forming a much healthier lifestyle)..I hear that too many toxins can prevent weight loss.. What are some other ways to get rid of these toxins? any information on this topic would be helpful too..
Is my body natural? Well first of all I sit on the computer all day and do homework or play games so I wouldn't say I'm a nerd.. I go out with my gf to the mall sometimes. But like every once in a while I take a ten mile walk, which happens like a few times every 3 months. I play basketball almost never, same with football, I usually play a lot more in the summer. I don't do any exercising or whatever, the most I do everyday is walk to my next class at school, we don't have PE cause it's an Academy for smart people... So I'm 15 5 foot 9 inches, I'm not fit I have a fairly slim build, but not hella skinny, I kinda have a six pack except it's not extremely fined tuned, it's just like a 1.5 inch bump going out without he muscle outlines, I have a fair bit of a muscle and I run hella fast even though I don't run at all. My dick is about uhhh 6.7 to 7 inches long. So is this normal, average ya'know. I've been called lazy a lot x]
Is there anyway to get any lee-way on the Army weight requirements? I noticed for my height the weight requirement is about 208, and I right now weigh about 260. Before when I was in better shape, dieting and exercising I was able to lose a lot of weight and stay fit. It was very difficult to get too much under 240 just because of my genetics of weight problems, and my natural body build. I'm a little concerned because I know I can get healthy and lose a lot of weight, but getting to weigh that much while still being able to stay healthy at the same time may not be realistic.
Which is the Best Test Booster on the market that actually work? I have done research on wesbsites that sell natural test booster supplements that increase testosterone levels for body building, and came to a conclusion that most out there are just to get your money. Does anybody know what are the best test boosters that i can buy? I would like to hear from people that have used supplements and helped them achieve there goals! Any suggestions??? Thanks

(For Boxers) What kind of excersizes should i do to increase the size of my chest? So ive been boxing now for about 4 months and ive got a pretty well built body. I work out every day starting with a 3-4 mile run. After that I usually start working on the bag and then do push-ups and sit-ups. Usually 2 sets of fifty. after that i would start doing training with a partner. I don't have money to buy a bench or weights or machines and i don't plan to since i want to build natural muscle instead of build it on machines since i've heard that the harder youve worked to aquire muscle the more strength you really have. Now although my body is well built i seem to be lacking chest muscles and in matches it makes me feel like I'm being downsized since i appear to be smaller or skinnier. In case it helps with anything I'm 15 and weigh 120 pounds hoping to become a boxer in the featherweight division. if anyone could give me tips on what exercises I could do to increase the size of my chest muscles it would really be a good help.
What is the best Natural (NO steroids) muscle mass building program out there? I don't care if it's a book format or ebook. What I'm really looking for is how to cycle your workout routine for an entire year so you don't overtrain and the body doesn't get used to the exercises. Nutritional information would be a bonus but is not a must. Thanks. I am mainly looking for routines and how to set them up. I appreciate your answers, but I have been lifting for over 4 years now and have been there and done that with creatine and protein. I know that you do not necessarily need either of these to get huge. I know many exercises, I just don't know how to incorporate them into week/month long routines and then how to switch up either the exercises or reps/sets-this is what i'm really looking for.
Is natural/organic products actually bad for you? The chemicals and such in everyday products... it seems like our body could get used to them and build up a tolerance to them. If you baby your skin abd body so much with "all natural", won't it go into shock when it encounters something with chemicals in it?

Natural Body Building? Hi just wondering if it is feasible to attain a good physique without using any of the protein shakes or creatine for example? I want to work out, eat healthy diet, and be more muscular than the average guy. I don't want to be Mr Universe! By doing weights without bodybuilding supplements, can I hope to achieve a really good physique? Comprehensive answers greatly appreciated. I'd just like to add that anyone who takes anabolic steroids is a complete fool. You will permanently mess up your body! I say this not from experience but from the science that is available to read up on the internet! I also had a very bad personal experience with creatine monohydrate. I beleive it caused my ulcerative colitis, but that is another story. I am therefore very cautious about what I put in my body now.
I was thinking about experimenting with opening my skin and body boutique? I know how to make all these skin and body products from scratch (shower gels, lotions, body butter’s, milk bath’s, even perfume), my aunt is opening a boutique in Vegas, I’m in Orlando, but she says I should try it from home first like her and build up a clientele. What do you think? I mean I love this kind of stuff. I even work on the wkends in bath and body works because I love aromatherapy and things like that and I usually sell $500- $800 worth of merchandise on a slow day. I was thinking my stuff would be better because its all 100% natural, 100% vegan. What do you think? I'm not thinking about opening a boutique like right now, I was thinking more along the lines of making couple of my products and passing them around at work and see what people think. See who comes back and ask for more. Then sell from my day job, I'm an Admin. Asst. in a very large firm over 2000 employees here at the office.
Proof in the Bible that Jesus' Body "Might" Still be on earth!? According to Christians their Faith is Built Upon the fact that Jesus Had to have Resurrected, If someone found Proof that Jesus didn't resurrect then believing in the Bible and, well . . . God Himself, would be pointless, right? Well I have found a passage in the Bible that Suggests Jesus' Body Might still be on earth, AND that He DID resurrect! 1 Corinthians 15:44 "NKJV" "It is sown a natural Body, it is raised a Spiritual Body. There is a natural Body, and there is a Spiritual Body." When Put with the Other passages around it you can see that it is Talking about death and resurrection. It also Talks about Jesus' Death and Resurrection. And i know that some of you will be wondering "Why then did they not Find the Body of Christ in the cave?" Well my only answer to that is that in one of the Books that the church removed from the Bible back when Constantine was emperor It said that the Apostles removed his Body in fear that the roman soldiers might try to steal it. So what do you think?
Do you think that the younger generation is losing their natural immunity? I watch the news and hear of outbreaks of illnesses in young children. Things that were never heard of in my day of being a child. Is it possible that with all the sanitizing and germiciding parents are doing now a days is causing a weaker immune system in children. I have been very healthy my entire life, and my mom didn't do all the sanitizing and such. We didn't have purel and other sanitizers for the hands. All we had was good 'ol soap and water. With all the germs being killed before they reach the body, doesn't that causes suseptability? Since the immune system hasn't had a chance to fight it and build up antibodies against it?
What is Low blood pressure,? What are some solutions to this problem? My mom "says" she has/had low blood pressure, and what she does to "Help" her blood pressure and keep it stable is take Guinness (stout beer), she says it’s a "tonic" that helps her body build blood, and that’s why she drinks it! But she drinks at least one Guinness a day! And I think it’s more of an addiction she has, but she says it’s for "medicinal purposes”. I think its all BULL SHI-T So does this Guinness-stout actually help her, and how does it help her, please explain! Or if you think you have any relative information about Stout, low blood pressure, tonics or any thing related to me finding a reason why she doesn’t need to drink one Guinness a day or even drink Guinness period! Even if you know other drinks, natural foods/fruits/vegetables or methods of helping her! Please let me know! You will be rewarded some how! Cant a regular Malt help?
How come none of the Natural Born Thrillers broke through midcard status to become a top roster wrestler? http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/n/natural-born-thrillers.php They had all the talent, size, and got early pushes in their careers. Shawn Stasiak was a third generation wrestling start built like a body builder but ended up as MEAT lol. Sean O Hare was close to 300 lbs of muscle and still did the Seanton Bomb which only Jeff Hardy was able to do as well. Chuck Palumbo had the charisma and size but after a fued with Curt Henning only saw success in tagging. Reno had some innovative moves and a unique look. Mark Jindrak seemed to be getting a push as the refection or perfection then disappeared. Johnny the Bull was built as well and very strong even having a brief stint in WWE. "Above Average" Mike Sanders was the only one that I would have not forseen being a major wrestler by now but he could have even been a good cruiserweight or manager. What happened?
Am I a gay man ? In a locker room, I always wanna come close to a guy and smell his body? When this idea comes to my mind, I always feel excited. I am excited when I sniff in the natural body smell of a hunky men. I also dream of putting my hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. It sounds amazing to me. However, I NEVER DO IT because I respect myself and others. . Only in my fantasies I can't help looking at other guys ( especially the well-built one ) in a locker room. Some of them give me a smile when they know I am looking at them. One of them even show of his biceps. He pointed at his bicep and said "Hey! Boy. Isn't my bicep amazing ? You can do it as well. Start working out " . I feel very nervous and excited when I saw him showering. "What a great body! Nice and smooth ". I thought Some of the guys even gave me cute smiles when they know I am watching them. They said " Join us. Young men " I seldom find women attractive. I am 22 year old already. Am I really a gay man ?
Any big (natural guys) know a sure fire approach to building muscle mass? I'm looking for experienced advice that has come from trial and effort, from big guys...not fitness model types, and nobody on or having ever used steroids, as to how you trained from small or average to where you are today....what works? Do you warm up, or not, ....if so... how, and in what number of sets, reps, and weight increments until you max in that exercise....do you warm up for each exercise, or only if it's a completely different muscle group, ie...chest/calves. How many body parts trained each day and how do you group them? How many days did you/do you train per week, and what muscle groups on what days, with what exercises? I'd appreciate any clarification on schedual, routine, and scheme. Thanks
What happens to the body when one takes supplements of .......? a product that activates macrophages and natural killer cells, and digests protein compounds? The supplement I am taking is called Protease Plus (in case anyone has heard of it), and is a full spectrum of plant-derived trace minerals that activate enzymes. I'm trying to build up my immune system, I trust in the product, I just want to know what is going on inside me. Thank you :)
Are any types of protein powder necessary to become "buff"? I recently went to VitaminWorld, and I was really intimidated by the amount of protein powders and all the different vitamins they have in them. I have just began body-building, but just to look good and stay fit, not for competition. Is protein powder really necessary to have a good-looking body, or can I do fine all-natural? Are there any negative side effects to any protein powders?
Natural protein sources that I can put into a shake to drink.....? I am looking to increase my intake of protein for body-building. I want to put it into a shake which I can drink. I do NOT want egg whites. I do NOT want soy. I do NOT want whey protein. I do NOT want meat/fish etc. (especially not in a shake!!!) I am seeking a purely natural source and NOT something you can buy in a tin, jar or as a chocolate bar from the food store. Can you suggest a purely natural source of protein to assist in the building of muscle mass? bolo.......... i didn't say that i am currently taking whey. i am NOT taking whey at all....and i haven't started having shakes either. My original question is asking for protein sources for when i DO start having shakes in the future
Strange question about drawing/psychology/Physical body? this is going to be a difficult question and strange question. My major is fine arts. I love to draw and go to life drawing classes. I noticed there are individuals who can "sense" form and "life" when drawing life models. I am one of those indivduals, and I can sense it very well, hence I have a natural ability to draw. I also am into weight lifting because I am extremely scrawny. After working out I notice the next day I tend to have a lessened ability to draw. I also notice my thoughts are extremely still, let alone "race" any more. Is this due to my body producing more testosterone during the muscle building recoveries? Also I notice over all as I keep building more muscle I am some what less able to "sense" drawing. If I was to keep up with my goal of gaining muscle would that destroy my visual capabilities as an artist? For now that frightening phase has passed and I can draw well again. (Psychologists Please) Does my physiological body structure interfere with my head?

Fellow Muslims(ONLY): do you have a description? Of what the prophets looked like. Escpecially, Prophet Mohammad(pbuh). I heard a few things about what he look like, such as that he had a six pack, muscular build, he also had a natural body smell that smelled like perfume because of his purity, he never had white hair at old age except for 17 hairs on his beard. but I want know more websites would be good too. Thanks!!! Fatima: yea about the six back, It just impressed me, since I been trying to get that for like 5 years and can't be successful. He has it without working out. it's pretty impressive. I sent you an IM. Sorry, typo "pack" not "back".,
Bio Help, Please... I just don't know.? 1. Which type of lipid stores extra energy and is liquid at room temperature? fats oils steroids waxes 2. The human body has natural steroids, a type of lipid. What is the function of steroids in the human body? They store extra energy in the body. They build cell membranes. They carry chemical messages throughout the body. They prevent water loss from the body. 3. A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that has polar and nonpolar areas. On both sides of the membrane are aqueous (water-based) fluids. What is an important function of the phospholipids in the cell membrane? The phospholipids help the cell maintain its internal aqueous environment. The heads keep water away from the tails. The phospholipids produce waxes to keep water out of the cell. The polar areas of the phospholipids give the cell a po
Dudes! What female body type do you prefer? I just don't get why many people think that gangly, boyish looking, spindly leg, Skeletor looking models are so beautiful. That stereotypical media image of beauty causes natural women, that are built just fine, to feel like they are too fat. I personally like a woman with meat on her bones, and all her jiggly bits intact. To each his own. What type of woman do you prefer? How was I not specific dude? I asked what body type do you prefer. Unless you have never been with a woman before, so I guess you don't understand. So this is for you, o.k. ? 1.do you prefer, skinny girls 2.Average girls 3. Voluptous girls 4. Really heavy set girls 5.Short Girls 6. Tall Girls 7.Understand now????? Thank You Willy Chan (Pokemon Master) and Jennifer G, I see unlike that other girl who called me a pig, you understand that I was actually defending the natural body shape of real women who are self concious about their weight because of the media and the images rail thin unrealistic models. Excellent pic np1415. Now that's what I'm talkin' bout Willis!! I agree Dan. Working out and being healthy is important. Being athletically thin and being anorexic are 2 different things.

Are any types of protein powder necessary to become "buff"? I recently went to VitaminWorld, and I was really intimidated by the amount of protein powders and all the different vitamins they have in them. I have just began body-building, but just to look good and stay fit, not for competition. Is protein powder really necessary to have a good-looking body, or can I do fine all-natural? Are there any negative side effects to any protein powders?
Building lean muscle mass on a budget and w/food allergies? Any tips on foods to build lean muscle mass for someone who can't afford crazy supplements and has allergies to whey and cow's milk? I take soy protein w/goat's milk, eat lots of eggs, fish, nuts, etc, and lift weights 3-4 times a week. Been doing it for about a year and have plateaued at about 190 lbs. and 19-20% body fat for the last 6 months or so. I increased workout intensity and weight and gained more strength, but no mass. I can't afford all the pills and powders and stuff at GNC, nor am I convinced of the effectiveness of many of them anyways. Are there any natural (and affordable) steps I can take while avoiding dairy and whey?
Im gonna start working out. I want a Brad Pitt - Troy body. Can you help me with this workout and diet? I want a body like that because before he started working out he had a body like mine is now and now he has a body that is not too big but also not too small. I'm a 17 year old guy 6'1" 135 lbs. and I have never worked out before. I found the workout that he did to train for his role and I would commit to the 7-month workout that is recommended. I also saw how this workout does not focus on the legs too much which is why many people dis-like it so much, but I have no problem working on my legs after I achieve an upper body like that of Brad in Troy. I want a body similar to his in the movie because the results show proportion and definition without being overly-muscular; just slightly built. It says that he was on a high-protein, low-carb diet. Which foods would be considered high-protein, low-carb? I also wanna add that I do not want to take any kind of pills, shakes, etc. I want this to be all natural. www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-47006.html

Methyl-E for 16yr old? My 16yr old son is not speaking to me because I refused to buy for him this new product Methyl-E for body building. My arguement with him is this: They have had to take all of the other supplements off the shelf because of the steroidal nature though the label says "natural" and you have to be 18 to purchase. I am afraid since his body has not completed growing yet, this will have an adverse affect on his growth, glands, hormones. I found out he had taken XMass and something else before and his behavior was very violent. I am at my wits end. Can anyone help me?!

Anyone gotton facial implants? I've always been self-concious about my jaw and chin; they're practically non-existent and look completely out of balance with the upper half of my face. After some serious consideration, I've decided I think I'm ready to get plastic surgery and "fix" it. However, I really don't like the idea of getting plastic surgery! Getting cut open, the blood, the healing... eww. Before I take the plunge, is there anything "natural" left I can do to increase my jaw and chin size? I just turned 22, and can my jaw/chin still grow? If I take up body building, will that encourage it to square up? If not, has anyone here had their jaw/chin surgically enhanced? How was it? What can I expect?
genetics??? everyone knows nate robinson rite?? is his vertical leap all natural or did he get it from working out? cuz his achellis tendon is not that long and his legs look more like body building legs that basketball player legs. also, he mentioned that he got his vert from genes. but it kinda of skeptical cuz being born with a 43.5 inch vert is pretty crazy.
Smell is important for reproduction: why do people use fake smells in products and put them on their bodies? It is scientifically proven that natural body smell contains DNA chemical signals. This aids reproduction i.e. if your partner smells amazing it is because their DNA is strong where yours is weak. This POTENTIALLY helps build a better child. Artificial insemination? Not a good idea without meeting the donor. This goes for farm animals. This being a fact, why do people cover themselves in fake smells such as perfume, aftershave? Why do they use washing powders, soaps, sprays,etc with fake smells to hide natural chemical signals if smell is scientifically proven to be essential? I know that bad body and house management can lead to problems. These can mostly be avoided by regular washing, etc. But maybe the increase in some health problems is because of genetic defects encouraged by covering chemical signals that clearly have a legitimate purpose. I know some people are going to be offended by the scientific evidence and my raising the issue, but I'm telling the truth. Sorry!!!! Congrates to hunting and Lindsey7 for their stupid answers. To those that think perfumes get peoples' attention, they must be a bit shallow apart from the fake smell they apply. Why else would people ignore them.
1. Under what theoretical orientation do you think Miner is operating in his interpretations? What evidence su The anthropologist has become so familiar with the diversity of ways in which different people behave in similar situations that he is not apt to be surprised by even the most exotic customs. In fact, if all of the logically possible combinations of behavior have not been found somewhere in the world, he is apt to suspect that they must be present in some yet undescribed tribe. The point has, in fact, been expressed with respect to clan organization by Murdock (1949: 71).[2] In this light, the magical beliefs and practices of the Nacirema present such unusual aspects that it seems desirable to describe them as an example of the extremes to which human behavior can go. ¶ 1 Professor Linton [3] first brought the ritual of the Nacirema to the attention of anthropologists twenty years ago (1936: 326), but the culture of this people is still very poorly understood. They are a North American group living in the territory between the Canadian Cree, the Yaqui and Tarahumare of Mexico, and the Carib and Arawak of the Antilles. Little is known of their origin, although tradition states that they came from the east.... [4] ¶ 2 Nacirema culture is characterized by a highly developed market economy which has evolved in a rich natural habitat. While much of the people's time is devoted to economic pursuits, a large part of the fruits of these labors and a considerable portion of the day are spent in ritual activity. The focus of this activity is the human body, the appearance and health of which loom as a dominant concern in the ethos of the people. While such a concern is certainly not unusual, its ceremonial aspects and associated philosophy are unique. ¶ 3 The fundamental belief underlying the whole system appears to be that the human body is ugly and that its natural tendency is to debility and disease. Incarcerated in such a body, man's only hope is to avert these characteristics through the use of ritual and ceremony. Every household has one or more shrines devoted to this purpose. The more powerful individuals in the society have several shrines in their houses and, in fact, the opulence of a house is often referred to in terms of the number of such ritual centers it possesses. Most houses are of wattle and daub construction, but the shrine rooms of the more wealthy are walled with stone. Poorer families imitate the rich by applying pottery plaques to their shrine walls. ¶ 4 While each family has at least one such shrine, the rituals associated with it are not family ceremonies but are private and secret. The rites are normally only discussed with children, and then only during the period when they are being initiated into these mysteries. I was able, however, to establish sufficient [504 begins ->] rapport with the natives to examine these shrines and to have the rituals described to me. ¶ 5 The focal point of the shrine is a box or chest which is built into the wall. In this chest are kept the many charms and magical potions without which no native believes he could live. These preparations are secured from a variety of specialized practitioners. The most powerful of these are the medicine men, whose assistance must be rewarded with substantial gifts. However, the medicine men do not provide the curative potions for their clients, but decide what the ingredients should be and then write them down in an ancient and secret language. This writing is understood only by the medicine men and by the herbalists who, for another gift, provide the required charm. ¶ 6 The charm is not disposed of after it has served its purpose, but is placed in the charmbox of the household shrine. As these magical materials are specific for certain ills, and the real or imagined maladies of the people are many, the charm-box is usually full to overflowing. The magical packets are so numerous that people forget what their purposes were and fear to use them again. While the natives are very vague on this point, we can only assume that the idea in retaining all the old magical materials is that their presence in the charm-box, before which the body rituals are conducted, will in some way protect the worshiper. ¶ 7 Beneath the charm-box is a small font. Each day every member of the family, in succession, enters the shrine room, bows his head before the charm-box, mingles different sorts of holy water in the font, and proceeds with a brief rite of ablution.[5] The holy waters are secured from the Water Temple of the community, where the priests conduct elaborate ceremonies to make the liquid ritually pure. ¶ 8 In the hierarchy of magical practitioners, and below the medicine men in prestige, are specialists whose designation is best translated as "holy-mouth-men." The Nacirema have an almost pathological horror of and fascination with the mouth, the condition of which is believed to have a supernatural influence on all social relationships. Were it not for the rituals of the mouth, they believe that their teeth would fall out, their gums bleed, their jaws shrink, their friends desert them, and their lovers reject them. They also believe that a strong relationship exists between oral and moral characteristics. For example, there is a ritual ablution of the mouth for children which is supposed to improve their moral fiber. ¶ 9 The daily body ritual performed by everyone includes a mouth-rite. Despite the fact that these people are so punctilious [6] about care of the mouth, this rite involves a practice which strikes the uninitiated stranger as revolting. It was reported to me that the ritual consists of inserting a small bundle of hog hairs into the mouth, along with certain magical powders, and then moving the bundle in a highly formalized series of gestures.[7] ¶ 10 In addition to the private mouth-rite, the people seek out a holy-mouth-man once or twice a year. These practitioners have an impressive set of paraphernalia, consisting of a variety of augers, awls, probes, and prods. The use of [505 begins ->] these objects in the exorcism of the evils of the mouth involves almost unbelievable ritual torture of the client. The holy-mouth-man opens the client's mouth and, using the above mentioned tools, enlarges any holes which decay may have created in the teeth. Magical materials are put into these holes. If there are no naturally occurring holes in the teeth, large sections of one or more teeth are gouged out so that the supernatural substance can be applied. In the client's view, the purpose of these ministrations [8] is to arrest decay and to draw friends. The extremely sacred and traditional character of the rite is evident in the fact that the natives return to the holy-mouth-men year after year, despite the fact that their teeth continue to decay. ¶ 11 It is to be hoped that, when a thorough study of the Nacirema is made, there will be careful inquiry into the personality structure of these people. One has but to watch the gleam in the eye of a holy-mouth-man, as he jabs an awl into an exposed nerve, to suspect that a certain amount of sadism is involved. If this can be established, a very interesting pattern emerges, for most of the population shows definite masochistic tendencies. It was to these that Professor Linton referred in discussing a distinctive part of the daily body ritual which is performed only by men. This part of the rite includes scraping and lacerating the surface of the face with a sharp instrument. Special women's rites are performed only four times during each lunar month, but what they lack in frequency is made up in barbarity. As part of this ceremony, women bake their heads in small ovens for about an hour. The theoretically interesting point is that what seems to be a preponderantly masochistic people have developed sadistic specialists. ¶ 12 The medicine men have an imposing temple, or latipso, in every community of any size. The more elaborate ceremonies required to treat very sick patients can only be performed at this temple. These ceremonies involve not only the thaumaturge [9] but a permanent group of vestal maidens who move sedately about the temple chambers in distinctive costume and headdress. ¶ 13 The latipso ceremonies are so harsh that it is phenomenal that a fair proportion of the really sick natives who enter the temple ever recover. Small children whose indoctrination is still incomplete have been known to resist attempts to take them to the temple because "that is where you go to die." Despite this fact, sick adults are not only willing but eager to undergo the protracted ritual purification, if they can afford to do so. No matter how ill the supplicant or how grave the emergency, the guardians of many temples will not admit a client if he cannot give a rich gift to the custodian. Even after one has gained and survived the ceremonies, the guardians will not permit the neophyte to leave until he makes still another gift. ¶ 14 The supplicant entering the temple is first stripped of all his or her clothes. In everyday life the Nacirema avoids exposure of his body and its natural functions. Bathing and excretory acts are performed only in the secrecy of the household shrine, where they are ritualized as part of the body-rites. Psychological shock results from the fact that body secrecy is suddenly lost upon entry into the latipso. A man, whose own wife has never seen him in an excre- [506 begins ->] tory act, suddenly finds himself naked and assisted by a vestal maiden while he performs his natural functions into a sacred vessel. This sort of ceremonial treatment is necessitated by the fact that the excreta are used by a diviner to ascertain the course and nature of the client's sickness. Female clients, on the other hand, find their naked bodies are subjected to the scrutiny, manipulation and prodding of the medicine men. ¶ 15 Few supplicants in the temple are well enough to do anything but lie on their hard beds. The daily ceremonies, like the rites of the holy-mouth-men, involve discomfort and torture. With ritual precision, the vestals awaken their miserable charges each dawn and roll them about on their beds of pain while performing ablutions, in the formal movements of which the maidens are highly trained. At other times they insert magic wands in the supplicant's mouth or force him to eat substances which are supposed to be healing. From time to time the medicine men come to their clients and jab magically treated needles into their flesh. The fact that these temple ceremonies may not cure, and may even kill the neophyte, in no way decreases the people's faith in the medicine men. ¶ 16 There remains one other kind of practitioner, known as a "listener." This witch-doctor has the power to exorcise the devils that lodge in the heads of people who have been bewitched. The Nacirema believe that parents bewitch their own children. Mothers are particularly suspected of putting a curse on children while teaching them the secret body rituals. The counter-magic of the witch-doctor is unusual in its lack of ritual. The patient simply tells the "listener" all his troubles and fears, beginning with the earliest difficulties he can remember. The memory displayed by the Nacirema in these exorcism sessions is truly remarkable. It is not uncommon for the patient to bemoan the rejection he felt upon being weaned as a babe, and a few individuals even see their troubles going back to the traumatic effects of their own birth. ¶ 17 In conclusion, mention must be made of certain practices which have their base in native esthetics but which depend upon the pervasive aversion to the natural body and its functions. There are ritual fasts to make fat people thin and ceremonial feasts to make thin people fat. Still other rites are used to make women's breasts larger if they are small, and smaller if they are large. General dissatisfaction with breast shape is symbolized in the fact that the ideal form is virtually outside the range of human variation. A few women afflicted with almost inhuman hypermammary development are so idolized that they make a handsome living by simply going from village to village and permitting the natives to stare at them for a fee. ¶ 18 Reference has already been made to the fact that excretory functions are ritualized, routinized, and relegated to secrecy. Natural reproductive functions are similarly distorted. Intercourse is taboo as a topic and scheduled as an act. Efforts are made to avoid pregnancy by the use of magical materials or by limiting intercourse to certain phases of the moon. Conception is actually very infrequent. When pregnant, women dress so as to hide their condition. Parturi- [507 begins ->] tion takes place in secret, without friends or relatives to assist, and the majority of women do not nurse their infants. ¶ 19 Our review of the ritual life of the Nacirema has certainly shown them to be a magic-ridden people. It is hard to understand how they have managed to exist so long under the burdens which they have imposed upon themselves. But even such exotic customs as these take on real meaning when they are viewed with the insight provided by Malinowski [10] when he wrote (1948: 70): ¶ 20 Looking from far and above, from our high places of safety in the developed civilization, it is easy to see all the crudity and irrelevance of magic. But without its power and guidance early man could not have mastered his practical difficulties as he has done, nor could man have advanced to the higher stages of civilization.[11] ¶ 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REFERENCES CITED Linton, Ralph 1936 The Study of Man.

Most men let it rip..the ladies though, seem to hold it.........? while to pressure builds. How do y'll handle the gas when it becomes unbearable and wants out? I do know women who sneak em out. God, that is so gross!! And, unbearsble to behold. So, what to you do? Go to the rest room and peel the paint, or what? A lot of guys think it is their territory and they own it, so it doesn't matter even when there is volume to be heard. It just becomes a natural body function for them.

why are humans always trying to mimic the natural existence of things? Do you feel, what we know today, is all we were programmed to know, due to our enviroment, and the way we percieve things around us. Like for example, humans built houses to protect them and shelter them, to me this is an example of the human body, the other part, its there to protect the rest of organs. And humans put windows on their houses, thats like the human eye, and human put window "Cealings" on their houses, this relates to the human eye lids...roof on the house, human hair. ETC. humans built guns, if you look at how a gun is shaped, its like a male penis shooting..too graphic? i know not all things are like this..for example. televisions, computers, books....but when you think of it, we are actually growing each generation, cause we think of new things, rather than what we see around us. like before, everyone didn't think, they just looked around, and assemble their life based on what, they already understood..now we're pushing beyond that..so yea. i wasted 5 points askin

Homosexuality? 1rst of all homosexuals arent evil. Bad people are evil. You dont have to be gay to be a bad person. You should try to not mistreat others based on bias as well are humans even the religious intolarent ignorant types. homosexually is not natural, but even if it were natura thatl doesnt mean its healthy. I mean aids is all natural yet aids is not healthy to have is it? being overweight can be considered natural but that doesnt mean its healthy is it? runing away from problems / fear is natural but that doesnt mean its healthyl is it? The whole point of a species is to reproduce and make offfspring in order to survive. Homosexuality confuses people on this and makes them forget there biological purpose is to spread thespecies and keep reproducing. homosexuality can also confuse children, family roles and some how people actually get confused thinking they were made to be the a man if they are a women or a women if they are a man. even though nature intended them to born a man and a women and theres no defects in being a man or a women. Nothing wrong or unhealthy. learn to accept the way you are made. I mean look at micheal jackson. he tried to become more caucasian looking even with the extra laser surgery and look how he turned out. Didnt come out so good did it. .Also what about when gay men go to bathrooms in public. They seperated female and male bathrooms never because it was to help prevent sexual molestation and rapes. But if gays like the same sex then how would you prevent them from sexually molesting each other in public bathrooms places. thought about that have you? Homosexuality would also conflict with many traditional beliefs and cultures. Hetro sexuality helps a nations population grow to produce more people and workers for the nation. What would happen if too many went to homo sexuality and they werent enough straight people to reproduce? would that mean we would have to buy our new offsrping from other countries? just like how we go into debt buying things from other countries like china for instance or japan. Tell me how homosexuality will help benifit a nation over hetrosexuality and then i might accept the idea more. Homosexuals can always become straight if they wish too so they can benifit the nation even better. I dont mistreat gay people because they are human beings 1rst and homosexuals second. but i just severely disagree with the idea of homosexuality. i just dont understand what would homosexuality do to help benifit the human specie. gay people can always change if they want and be straight. People where biologically made to be staright and theres no bad consequences of being straight. Why wont people accept being straight? Diversity in sexual peference doesnt benifit anything either because it wont help benifit the survival of the human species. Homosexuality also wont help promote creativity and education. Maybe homosecuals because people help promote creativity and education. But homosexuality doesnt. Also there is no such thing as being gay in human beings biological because i had gay friends that turned straight before and they are straight people that turn gay. So it is a choice, not biological. If it where biological in humans then that would mean you would have been gentically made to be gay. Also there is no proof that homosexuality in humans is gentic related because they are many cases where gay people had children naturally and there off sping dont come out gay alot of times. To blame choices/decisions on gentics sounds like they are scared to admit to people that they can change and choose to be homosexual. Also phyisical characteristics and race is not the same as sexual pefernces. because theres hoomosexuality in all different types of people. Homosexuality is an idea and choice in human beings. Not a gentic biological thing in human beings. it could be that animals also do homosexual acts because they enjoy it also and not because there bodies are built for homosexuality. Because All species are perform asexual reproduction and/or sexual reproduction to survive. Asexual is when it duplicates itself witout having sex with other life form. Sexual is with sex with another life form of a oppisite sex to reproduce and in fact help reproduce with more diversity. So the mix of different races is supported by hetrosexual acts not homosexual acts. Straight sex benifited the diversity of race.So our biological purpose infact is to help promote diversity so that they will be enough different types of humans to ensure that at least one type of human can be adapt to future changes and perserve the human specie. Homosexuality doesnt contribute anything in genetics, survival and culture. Morales contribute to culture, culture contributes to education, and education contributes to creativity as well as knowledge but not homosexuality. If a whole species turned out to be gay then how would the species carry on and reproduce? I dont hate homosexuals i just wish the changed there sexual peference the way nature intended it to be. I dont think its good to againts the natural cycle of how the human specie was able to keep its existince. Theres no defects in beings being hetrosexual so why wont some people accept it? i mean every person is genetically built to be hetrosexual anyways and it is they way that human kind was able to pass live on and make offspring. What if a person had a mutation to be aids resistance or even aids proof. Then the person turned out to be gay and never had a child. The new genes that could have helped the human race benifit againts health problems would be completly gone already.homosexuality slows down the process of evolution and does not benifit us biologicly in anyway either. Im not trying to be harsh or anything but why do people choose to ignore these basic common sense facts? Also like i said i dont hate gay people because they are human beings 1rst and homosexuals second. But why do they choose to ignore these facts. Is it because they take there personal pleasure more important then the potential future consequences wether they go un noticed or noticed? A bad experience? where they around a gay enviorment or influence when growing up? what is it? did they actually brainwash themselves to belive they were born gay? did media brainwash them to think they where born gay and cant change it? i have gay friends who turned straigt and they are straight men who turn gay. why dont people choose to ignore these things? Also natural is what natural is. look it up to find out what it means if your not sure. Also i dont believe theres no such thing as "normal people" because people are all unique in there own way. "Normal people" goes againts the fact that all people are unque and different from each other. People might just be a little more unique then others and stand out more wether they be gay or not. so to say im judging gays as not "normal" is just you prejudging me and what i think. Also homosexuality wouldnt help benifit the world from over populating. Personal responsibility would. You can have alot of homosexuals but if theres still straight people having like 10 kids per family the world will probably still be over populated. People need to take personal responibility, get eduacted even if it means having to find this knowlede for yourself. And becareful on having kids. You can have sex and not have kids. Thats why they invented condems and birth control and stuff. Homosexuality wouldnt do anything because it wouldnt change the fact that people are still irresonsible about sex and the consequences of having kids. Even if get pregnant you can have abortions and if you let your religion prevent you from having an aborion because you may not be ready for such a task financially and just the know hows then thats your fault. Dont let tradition block you from being able to adapt and live better off in the world. Things change and tradition tends to stay the same alot. In order to sruvive and adapt to obsticles and situations you need to be felxible and being too tradtional will not allow you the flexibility to be. Also dont listen to those religious guys. They take things too literal. the bible is just a symbolic way to represent the evil and good in all creatures God and the devil . They take artistic writing, metaphores, and similies too literal and forget that the stories arent important. The lessons behind the stories are. what do you guys think about homosexuality whats your opnion about. I dont treat homosexuals bad because they are humans like I said but why wont they admit they can change and that they are not born gay. I have know people that wher egay and turned straight. Theres straight people who turn gay. This is a choice not genetics. Theres cases when gay people had kids for whatever reason and there kids dont become gay. What is wrong with being straight why cant you accept that your made literally to be hetrosexual. Theres no defects in being hetrosexual. ... some of you people havent even read what i wrote carefully.. READ THE WHOLE THING IF YOUR GUNNA CRITICISE ME! and that was a copy and past eoff my own opnions about homosexuality so i dont see why you are concerned about me copying and pasting off my own thoughts and writing. Its not like im playjerizing My question is what do you guys think about homosexuality, i just wanted to show you guys my perspective on it also. people choose who they want to have sex with so they choose if they gunna have homosexual sex( sex with a same sex) or hetrosexual sex ( 2 oppisite sex partners have sex). Them being actracted to certain people have to do with how they think and what they value. Things dont just happen for no reason. Also about the stds, obviously the majority of the world is hetrosexual and not homosexual. So obviously that would be like comparing 16 hetrosexuals to 1 homosexual statistic. Homosexuals pass off stds just as bad as hetrosexuals do. its just that they are obviously more hetrosexuals. Remeber hetrosexuals where accused and stereotyped for aids also. High number of gays had aids just as as well as high numbers of hetrosexuals having aids and other stds also. Remeber i said that homosexuality wont solve over population problems and pregancy problems. Personal responsibiliy would because as long as they are alot of irresponsible straight people when it comes to sex then they will be over population problems. They are many ways to prevent pregancy and theres even abortion but some have a problem with putting down a passed down belief so that they can ix a problem and benifit themselves better off in the real world. homosexuals were accused of the aids steroetype i just noticed i made a mistake. Chinavagabond you seem like the only person that actually read my question and points i was trying to make, even if you dont agree with me. unlike all these aother people they didnt read all of it which i can tell because they are saying nonsense that i explained about in my writing.
If you've used GABA? Did you feel effects right away, like the next day or was it a slow build up? Or a little of both? I'm feeling a little of both. I felt better the next day, and after about a week feel 50% more relaxed than I did prior to taking it. (If people are reading this who haven't used it, GABA is an amino acid known as your body's "natural valium")
Is masterbating a good practice ? i have asked a question "why ejaculation is happening ? " i got some answers which all mean: answer : Nocturnal emission is a natural process. It is the body's automatic venting of built-up excess semen. Release of semen through intercourse or masturbation will alleviate the problem. is that a effective way to get relief from Nocturnal emission ? will it have any side effects ? is it a good practice ? is that a healthy practice ?
Is it bad that I workout extremely hard until my muscles give out? The way to build muscle is too exceed your natural limits, forcing your body to adapt and make more muscle cells. Is it logical for me to workout as hard as my body will let me to gain maximum strength or could this be potentially bad? I just started working out so it hasn't done anything bad to me so far except for some really bad soreness but I know that comes with starting up weight work. To help clarify, I didn't do this extreme workout the very first day; it has been a couple of weeks of moderate work before I started this.
Why is there is difference between the religion (belief) and its practice ? Why is there is difference between the religion (belief) and its practice ? We do something, where as our holy scriptures says something else. When we don’t abide by our religion, there’ a “guilty consciousness” is created, and our sense of guilty shows up. We start blaming ourselves – “what the hell are you doing “ ? In spite of this, we do the same again. Why is this so ? The answer is :- The body of human being is built by nature, controlled by nature, and its thought and feelings are natural. It is the aspect of body. There is a soul in the body also, which was completely a part of nature before. Now, it is going ahead in the direction of ‘conscious’, but till now it could develop itself to the consciousness only. It has not been released from natural wishes. It has not proved the real itself yet. Confusion is there in it, for it tries to press for autonomy sometimes, and comes under the custody of nature sometimes. And, as long as it doesn’t win over the nature, it can never get the autonomy. The nature will make it dance to its tune till then. The autonomy stage is a revolt against nature. It is trying to become a master to itself, because as long as remains under the rule of nature, its responsibility for both the grief and happiness in an equal proportion is a must. But, the “I” in their bodies is not accepting to it, doesn’t want the responsibility of grief, wants joy only. Religion is the directive elements of pros and cons, which motivates us to become a self reliant “ I ”. Keeping the dignity of that “ I ” in mind. Religion is standing against the nature. It doesn’t want to bow against the nature. It doesn’t like the slavery under the nature, because it doesn’t want to be the part of miseries, whether or not is it deprived of the joy. For the greed of getting happiness, it doesn’t want to embrace the miseries. It doesn’t want to be the part of miseries, it doesn’t want to embrace the miseries. It doesn’t want the support of nature. It wants to be self reliant. When it is unable to become self reliant, it prays ‘god’. It is the experience of our religious personalities that only god is elf reliant and we have to take the shelter of God to relieve ourselves from the miseries. The religion says – it is wicked to steal. Still you don’t hesitate to steal. The body (nature) motivates to steal but the religion for the satisfaction of “ I ” and for self dignity, prevents you to do so. Nature doesn’t want to spare the taste in the cream of stealing, it wants to enjoy every kind of taste. Where as the religion wants to lives on the ‘pure entity form’, where both joy and grief is missing. It is because, it doesn’t want canning for the result of the “ cream ”, derived from stealing. Thus, the kind of ‘coat’, the religion has stitched for the soul, doesn’t fit the body. The body has a different size, a different type of greed, and the soul is separating itself from this trouble. It is trying to made itself free from it, because the feeling of miseries has gone beyond tolerance. There is a dual existence in every human being. One is “I” or soul, another is its body. Animals and other normal creatures have body only. They don’t feel get the dilemma. They live their life at ease. They enjoy both the feelings of happiness and grief in an equal way. But, where the “I” comes, there starts the dilemma. Like this the human being is in a big dilemma. It wants to get away from the body along with its all senses. The religion is made keeping the account, not the body. That is why, there is a difference between deeds and the speech. The body doesn’t listen to the soul. But, one day the soul will over the body, and will come to the neutral form. It will get away from the grief and joy and will become stoic. It is possible for the human being. In my view, effort is required beyond this also, to finish off that “I” That will be its prime stage. But, it is matter of controversy as- how far it is proper to discard happiness for the fear of the miseries. The decision is personal. I can’t impose your decision on others. Those who are of less soul and more body will have different one. Those, who are of less body and more soul will have different needs. And those, who neither have a soul and nor have a body, will have an unique decision quite different from others, because the needs of he body is different from that of a soul. And those, who neither have a soul nor have a body, do not have any ‘need’ It is a ‘zero’ stage, lack of joy- grief, dignity or indignity. NOTE:- The soul has two parts. One is positive (+ve) another is negative(-ve) But, in totality the body is negative (Neutral). It is greedy of consuming everything. It carries no moral values. Therefore it is called negative.
Difference between an elastic jumper and a strength jumper, how do you know which one you are? An elastic jumper is an athlete who can jump high and doesn't have to hit the weights for strength in his legs. He's that real skinny looking guy who can dunk or jump high with ease. Strength jumpers are the type who have do the squats, calve raises, etc. they have to build strength in order to get up. Plus when they jump or run it looks like they're stomping hard when they run or jump. Perfect Example: Dominique Wilkins an elastic jumper. Karl Malone and Shaquille O' Neal strength jumpers. How can you tell if your body is made natural to jump high and run fast without strength training. If you're an elastic jumper, stretching for flexibility and speed training is the key. What do you see improvements more in flexiblity progress and speed training or strength training?
Since when did thin become the standard on which health and beauty is based? I'm not a chubby chaser per se', but I find it amazing how most of my friends will just fall all over women who look like Ms Aushwitz circa 1945 with fake boobs.Suffice it to say that there are some women who have a naturally ectomorphic build and look great, but speaking on a purely sexual level, they don't do anything for me.on an aescetic level, I think women who starve themselves lose the natural character their bodies would have if they would just be themselves.And since when is looking like your gonna dry up and blow away healthy?People alays equate thin with healthy, but aren't there very definite dangers to being underwieght? how long will it take before people stop being offended by density?Your thoughts please...
Why Statutory rape is STUPID!? I had sex when I was under 18, and I was emotionally, physically and mentally ready for it, want to know how i know? coz i did it and I have no regrets and I'm happy now, the same as a person who would of done it after 18. You can't speak for ALL girls or guys who have sex under 18, yes its true, some aren't ready, but some are, and regardless, the PUBERTY PROCESS STARTS FOR A REASON!! our hormones tell us to....guess what? have sex. or did you miss out on that little tidbit of information in sex ed? so no matter, what are own personal opinions are, what legal systems we built, what holier then thou attitudes we adapt, we can't compete against something bigger then ourselves, which is the NATURAL WAY, our bodies tell us to do something for a reason, and its as simple as that. I think statutory rape is a RETARDED law and alot of GOOD people go to jail who don't deserve to, to try and restrict something like sex and put in a box with rules and regulations is tampering with nature.
this is interesting,i know they are long people's but their good! this also is a mother in law thing! lol? Subject: FW: [Fwd: Fw: THE BANANA] There may be some truth in this one The Banana Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!! This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anaemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fibre, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan. Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%! Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!" PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit!
Why have churches sold out to the government? Obtaining Corporation Status (501c3) is Against God The word "church" is not meant to refer to any physical building, but refers to the worldwide body of believers in Christ. The word "church" (ecclesia in Greek - called out ones) does not refer to any organization, no matter it's name or legal status. Keep that in mind when reading this article. It is time for Christians to wake up and turn back to God. We need to turn to the Lord and repent of our sins that we have committed against Him. We need to ask for forgiveness of tolerating idolatry that removes His Sovereignty over His Church. To see that the Church is in grave danger we must have a clear understanding of what a corporation is. We also need to realize what the courts have ruled about corporations and that a corporation has no rights, only privileges, granted by the "estate." To become a corporation removes the authority of the Lord over a corporate church and puts it under the bondage of man's law. According to man, The State is Sovereign over its Corporations 1. "A corporation is a creature of the state. It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain special privileges and franchises and holds them subject to the laws of the state and the limitation of its charter. Its powers are limited by law. It can make no contract not authorized by its charter. Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation. There is a reserved right in the legislature to investigate its contracts and ascertain if it has exceeded its powers" (Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43) 2. "[A corporation is] an artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state. An association of persons created by statute as a legal entity.... The corporation is distinct from the individuals who comprise it (shareholders).... Such an entity subsists as a body politic under a special denomination, which is regarded in law as having a personality and existence distinct from that of its several members." Black's Law Dictionary West Publishing Company, 1991; 6th Edition, page 340. 3. "A corporation derives its existence and all of its powers from the State and, therefore, has only such powers as the State has conferred upon it. Power is used here to mean the legal capacity to execute and fulfill the objects and purposes for which the corporation was created, and the source of this power is the charter and the statute under which the corporation was organized." Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 796. A corporation derives its existence and all of its power from the State. The church on the other hand was created by and is the body of Christ. We belong to Him and we are subject to Him and His Laws. The source of any church's power is supposed to be the Holy Spirit; it's authority to function solely from God. 4. "Corporate existence is a privilege granted by the sovereign upon compliance with specified conditions" Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 931. . 5. "Corporations are not citizens.... The term citizen... applies only to natural persons... not to artificial persons created by the legislature" Paul v. Virginia, 8 Wall. 168, 177; see also the Opinion of Field, J., in the Slaughterhouse Cases, 16 Wall.36,99 The Word of God teaches us that Christians, His Holy Church, are citizens of the household of God (Eph.2:19). 6. Every corporation has obtained a charter from the State of Incorporation. This charter is simply permission to exist given to the corporation (by the State!) without which, its operations would be considered illegal. In addition to the charter are the articles of incorporation: "The objects or purposes for which a corporation is formed are expressly stated in its articles of incorporation, which delineate in general language the type of business activities in which the corporation proposes to engage" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 798. 7. "Instances of non-profit corporations are educational institutions, athletic clubs, library clubs, fraternities, sororities, hospitals, and organizations which have exclusively a charitable purpose" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 789. (Note: The purpose of the church is not "charity," nor is it's purpose exclusively charitable. Charity should be a function of every church, but is certainly not it's purpose. Offering worship to God, evangelism to the lost, and the fellowship and equipping of the saints are among church's exclusive purposes. (gm) The Lord is Sovereign over His Churches : Jesus is the Head of the Church, not man Paul compares the special relationship of Christ and His church to the God giving relationship of man and wife. What can be closer or more special then this? Would you bring another person into your marriage to control it with worldly principles? I hope the answer is no. Then why would you bring in a "fictitious entity" no less created by the state and man i.e.: corporation, to run and regulate something that belongs to the Lord? The relationship with Jesus and His Church belongs to Him alone. He is the Head of the Church and as such He governs it with His Laws, Principles and Directions. After all He is our King and is Sovereign over His Church. To become a corporation in effect divorces the church from Christ. We also commit idolatry by putting something before Him. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Christ is the Saviour of the body (the church); not the state. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. The church is subject to Christ not the state. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Christ has purchased the church with His own blood. The State can give nothing for the church and should give nothing to the church. 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. The church should be holy and without blemish, to mingle the church with the state/worldly system is to bring spot and wrinkle to the church because of what the state/world does and says, homosexuality, abortion, adultery and many other things are acceptable, they pass laws making them that way. This goes against God; should the church be partakers of that? 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: The Lord nourishes and cherishes the church. Throughout history the state has tried to destroy the church. It still does through legislation trying to control all aspects of the free and corporate church. 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. The church is a living organism with a living head and body. Therefore the church is not a religious organization. It is possible to be a religious or charitable organization without being a church. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. The church is to be joined unto Christ. In Matthew Jesus used the word cleave. I do not see that the church is to be joined to Christ and the state. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. He speaks of the relationship that the church is supposed to have with Christ. One that is supposed to be holy and true. One, that's with each other without interference, blessed. Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church Christ is to be all things to the church. He is in Charge and Head of the church not the state. The state is under His feet, it is the footstool of the Lord why put it ahead of Him? 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. KJV There are more Scriptures that would support that Jesus is the sole authority over the church. Most of us Christians know this and believe this. I challenge my brothers and sisters to find them. Study them, to see if the Truth is being brought forth. Jesus Christ Should Be The Head Of The Church - Why Then Incorporate? Many people for some reason think that a church has to. This is far from the truth on a few different levels. Here in the United States of America a church does not have to incorporate at all to be recognized as a local body of believers. (Not sure why they would want recognition from the state anyway.) I know some of you are thinking "Well, Romans 13 says..." Most of us have been taught that whatever the government says, goes. Wrong! If the government passes a law that interferes or contradicts one of Gods law we are not bound to follow it. There are examples of this in the Bible ; we have all heard the story of Daniel and the lions' den. To think Christians are bound by the laws of men, when it comes to the work of the Kingdom, is just stupid. If this were the case
