Q. I check out some the best baby monitors recommended by consumer report, but most of them are a little expensive then I expected. Well, I'm hoping for something that is affordable and has crystal clear sound. Any idea?
A. I also vote for Safety 1st:)
At first, I was thinking to get a Phlips DESC baby monitor for my wife, but it's too pricey for me at that time. Anyway, after much research, I don't think you can find any better deal then this Safety First High Def Digital baby monitor for paying less then $80.
It is even better then my previous Graco iMonitor baby monitor(pretty good and cheap too). There are no static sound and the channel is pretty clear even though I have cordless phone and wireless network at home. Hope this help:)

Is it worth it taking Accutane?
Q. I have a next appointment on Tuesday. My dermatologist is going to prescribe me Accutane because I have tried everything out there, but yet I still have cystic acne which are leaving me bad scaring. I was wondering, is it worth it? My boyfriend is really iffy about it, but he will support me with my decision. Appreciate it if past users or current users of Accutane will answer. Thank You.
A. Accutane is a highly controversial drug yet incredibly remains the industry standard for severe acne. Swiss drugmaker Roche Holding AG, manufacturer of Accutane, has spent most of this century in court defending itself against lawsuits from people whose health has been irreparably damaged by this menacing drug.
Roche has lost six out of six lawsuits and was recently ordered to pay $25.16 million in damages to an Accutane user who developed inflammatory bowel disease as a result of the drug. Due to generic competition and the exorbitant cost of defending personal injury lawsuits, Roche stopped selling the drug in June 2009.
However, the generic form of Accutane (isotretinoin) is equally deadly and remains available in the marketplace under the names Claravis, Sotret and Amnesteem. More than two million people have taken Accutane, despite the fact that it is known to cause depression, suicide, inflammatory bowel disease, and 100 percent guarantee of birth defects if taken by a pregnant woman.
In 2004, brain scans showed that people taking Accutane suffer a 21 percent decrease in frontal brain activity, the part of the brain that plays a critical role in mood and social interaction. These brain changes may explain the depression, suicidal and aggressive behavior, and psychotic reactions reported by some Accutane users.
Even official regulation policy acknowledges the real danger of Accutane. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned physicians and consumers about reports of "depression, psychosis, and rarely suicidal thoughts and actions" related to the use of Accutane. Patients using Accutane reported to the FDA that these psychological symptoms improved after stopping Accutane therapy, but worsened with re-start of the drug.
In light of this evidence, the labeling of Accutane was changed to strengthen the warning about its risk for causing depression. Isotretinoin now has the strongest warning available for any drug category�and given a FDA Pregnancy Category X rating..
If you are taking isotretinoin and become pregnant, you are virtually guaranteed to be damaging your baby. Accutane is extremely teratogenic (causing damage to a fetus).
According to the Mayo Clinic: "Isotretinoin is associated with severe birth defects, so it can't be taken by pregnant women or women who may become pregnant during the course of treatment or within several weeks of concluding treatment. In fact, the drug carries such serious potential side effects that women of reproductive age must participate in a Food and Drug Administration-approved monitoring program to receive a prescription for the drug."
In addition to teratogenic and psychological adverse effects, Accutane (isotretinoin) users have reported the following negative effects:
Increased levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in your blood
Headaches and brain swelling
Damage to skin & mucous membrains
Premature epiphyseal closure
Development of inflammatory bowel disease
Pancreatitis
Increased liver enzyme levels and liver damage
Disturbance of your central nervous system
Hyperostosis (excessive bone growth) and demineralizaton
Damage to your eyes including cataracts
Heart attack & stroke
Erectile dysfunction
Siezures
Neutropenia, agranulocytosis, & rhabodomyolysis
Hearing impairment
Allergic vasculitis
If your doctor is prescribing this, he must either be a real HACK or have some other agenda for doing so. It is NOT a last resort. There are many root causes of acne you need to look at that can be very effective. Doctors "Treat symptoms" and do NOT practice real health, only "MAKE BELIEVE HEALTH" by prescribing drugs.
You can get rid of "Cystic acne" with a natural regimen in weeks without drugs. It hits the problem at it's roots, not just "Treating the symptoms" like doctors are trained to do by prescribing drugs.
good luck to you

What baby monitor is best?
Q. We live on a busy highway. Lots of trucks pass by daily and I am concerned about interference from their radios. I don't however want to spend a fortune on a baby monitor. Can anyone suggest a good one that's not too expensive? TIA
A. If you'll go to the Consumer Reports website they have all kinds of articles on the best baby monitors in correlation with price. Good luck!
Does anyone know what the best ovulation test is? Where do you get them from.?
Q. Me and my husband are trying to have a baby. I have one child that is not his so know we are trying to have one of our own. He has no kids at all. So we want something that is very good.
A. Well, you have a few options--
The best (my opinion and that of consumer reports) is the Clearblue line of tests. Their regular ovulation test kit, you get 7 tests for a little under $20. 1 kit usually does you for 1 cycle. They have digitals that cost about $30 for 7 tests but they are much easier to read. Clearblue also has a fertility monitor--about $150, worth it if you think it will take you a while to get pg, but you also still have to buy sticks for it-$45 for 30 sticks.
Check out ebay for some really good deals on ovulation tests. The cheapie ones may work well for you, so you may want to buy a few and try them out.
Also, I've used the anser brand--$11 for 7 tests and they work pretty good too.
The third thing, and I'm sorry if this isn't exactly what you are looking for, get a thermometer and chart your basal body temps (www.fertilityfriend.com)--a thermometer costs about $7 so very cheap!
