Question 1

does body wrapping help lose weight?

Accepted Answer

No not really: You may loose water weight but no real change will take place in your actual body mass. To loose weight you must expend more energy than you take-in through your diet. Minimize the amount of carbohydrate (bread, soda, alcohol, pasta, potatoes, corn); maximize the amount of fiber (vegetables) and protein (lean meat, beans) in your diet. At the same time exercise (walk, run, bike, swim).

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Well : If Madison stay around room temperatures they're generally fine if they get a little warmer they can get weaker if they get too hot they can become ineffective. If they're too hot they degrade and are not effective at all

Question 3

i'm cold to the touch yet wrapped up in blankets. i'm not sick or with fever so what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Metabolism: It sounds likely you are either anemic or hypothyroid.  I suggest you go see your doctor soon.

Question 4

my right leg on the calf n the back feels ice cold. i have it wraped in a blanket. ?

Accepted Answer

This sounds: like "false" temperature "signals" to your leg from nerve fibers irritated in your back (specifically L4-5) 
Although its unusual for JUST the Temperature fibers to be iritated it is the only condition which occurs to me!

Do you have back pain?
Any injuries???
Hope this helps!

Question 5

if you sleep with plastic wrap wrapped around your belly will it help you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Not really: When you sweat, the weight returns when you hydrate.

Question 6

my daughter has a fever. i already gave her a bath in some cold water and wrapped her up. what more should i do?

Accepted Answer

What other symptoms?: Fever is common in children and is usually viral and self-limited.  Does she have any other symptoms?  How high was the fever?  Are there any people around her that have a fever too?  I need more information to help you.

Question 7

i broke my big toe a couple days ago. my foot is wrapped and in a boot. my toes are cold. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Toe: Make sure booth is not too tight, okay to  remove booth a few times a day. If still cold as compared to other toes, see doctor.

Question 8

hit in temple with a 22oz hammer 3 days ago/immediate headache that wrapped around my head very painful but subsided after a few hours/soft lump an inch above my right ear painful to touch/and opening jaw hurts still 3 days later?

Accepted Answer

: Appears you experienced a closed head injury causing a local hematoma above your right ear, and this should resolve over the next few weeks, but will be tender over the interval.  Do wonder if you also injured your jaw concurrently.  Might check with your dentist.

Question 9

is it possible for you to lose belly fat by wrapping an ace bandage around your stomach?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Not likely.  The best way to lose belly fat and fat in general is to use up more calories than you consume.

Question 10

i had a cold with high fever congestion no cough but now i'm sick again with severe head pain, swollen glands congestion and productive cough. how do i relieve the head pain tylenol (acetaminophen) doesn't help its in my face wrapping around head?

Accepted Answer

MD: With the magnitude of your symptoms including "high" fever, I think a visit to your MD is in order.
