Q: If I am planning on doing a small fundraiser, should I contact the charity first?
I’ve been thinking about raising money for CODA (Central Ohio Diabetes Association) and JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) by shaving my head. Kind of like a “How much will you pay me to shave my head?” then giving the money to the two organizations. Should I contact these organizations beforehand?

A: Yes, you should contact them beforehand. First, if someone wants to verify that you are truly collecting money for them, then they have the real answer. 2nd, before you decide, you should have a $ amount in mind. Will you shave your head for $5? What if no one really cares if you shave your head or not and you only get a little money? I think that perhaps the shaving of the head could be a part of the fund raiser, but not the whole thing. How much do you realistically think you can get for shaving your head? Will it be enough to share with 2 such large organizations? Consider joining another fund raiser or donate to a local group. Think out your options before you speak publicly.

I also volunteer for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
I have good public speaking skills. I am speaking at an ADA event talking about diabetes and my experiences.

So,,, Chances? SAT too bad to get in?

A: You have an amazing GPA, but you’re right in that your SAT/ACT scores don’t match up. If I were you, I would study my butt off this summer, and retake them in the fall. You do have three more chances for each test.

Q: Does milk really suck? Or is it nutritional?
We are the only mammals besides cats who drink milk after infancy. The odd thing is that after infancy, instead of continuing drinking our others milk, we drink cow milk.
On milksucks.com it tells you how keeping your bones strong are easier than you think, and milk isn’t required to do the job. In fact, there is an article on why milk and dairy products WON’T help you maintain healthy bones.
Got Breast Cancer? Milksucks.com says this:
Consuming dairy products is linked to an increased risk for breast cancer because dairy products are high in fat, animal protein, and hormones, each of which increases cancer risk. Since the 1980’s, study after study has linked dairy consumption to a high incidence of breast and other cancers. Women seeking to minimize their chances of breast cancer should avoid milk, other dairy products, and meat.”
What about heart disease?
Milksucks.com says: Since the early 1970s, study after study after study has implicated cow’s milk and other dairy products as a cause of heart disease and clogged arteries. One researcher, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn from the Cleveland Clinic (the top-rated heart clinic in the U.S.), makes people “heart attack-proof” by putting them on a vegan diet (check out his groundbreaking paper in the American Journal of Cardiology, August 99).

Do you or your teens have acne?
Will drinking milk make you greasy, grimy, and pimply? Some doctors suspect that the fat, animal protein, sugar, and hormones in milk irritate the skin, causing break-outs.

Dr. Jerome K. Fisher conducted a clinical study of 1,088 teen-age patients over 10 years and reported to the American Dermatological Association that milk was a principal contributor to some patients’ acne. Dr. Fisher found that their acne tapered off as their milk consumption did.

Are your kids sick?

Cow’s milk is the number one source of allergies in children, and research links consumption of dairy products, including cow’s milk, to colic (stomach cramps), autism, chronic ear infections, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1 or “juvenile-onset” diabetes), acne, obesity, flatulence, constipation, mucus, and a variety of other ailments.

So the question is:
Is milk as good as we think it is?

A: i don’t know. i am open for info
i notice i get sick when i drink milk i don’t drink it any more. that is a wonderful question
