Is there someone that can help me with these illnesses?
Can you tell me what type of diseases that can be spread by mosquitos, tics, or other insects? I am looking for something that I heard about that is rare and many doctors misdiagnose it as dimensia or Alzheimers. Please give me a list. Anything that you know would be very helpful?

Blue light?
Well, I don’t intend this as a statement.
However, Belgian and Brit scientist (Liege & Surrey) kinda mapped the parts of the brain which are stimulated by… light. In short and very abruptly put, exposure to blue light makes you smarter (there were already known uses of this frequency in skin diseases treatment) and there already are preoccupations for utilizing blue light emanating electric bulbs in offices etc.

My question is – this stuff is relatively new but it seems to gain territory on the scientific fields. If someone would have talked about it let’s say ten years ago, would he have been labeled as… just a fool? I mean, come on… light is just light, how could it have any influence on the brain?
First, what does the use of blue light skin treatment have to do with blue light stimulating a certain part of the brain? There are two different things at work here, so you can’t say blue light is magical and has many applications. The mechanism which causes it to be effective as a treatment of skin conditions could be quite different from that which is causing certain parts of the brain to be stimulated.
Second, according to the links you posted, the blue light doesn’t make you more intelligent or smarter, it decreases fatigue. This could have a very useful application in keeping drowsy people awake, but there’s nothing magical to it.
I see no problem with light having an influence on a person’s alertness. It could be as simple as light=daytime=wake up or no light=night time=go to sleep. I fail to see how this is anyway parallel to seeing some current paranormal claims as dubious (if this is what you’re getting at).

DNA technology has many medical applications. I need help confirming the correct answer…?
Which is NOT done routinely at present?
a) prenatal identification of genetic disease genes
b) introduction of genetically engineered genes into human gametes
c) production of viral proteins for vaccines
d) production of hormones for treating diabetes and dwarfism
e) genetic testing for carriers of harmful alleles
I think it is B but need to confirm it! Thanks tons!!

Is it true that people with image-related disorders are just psychologically/mentally weak?
By image-related disorders, I’m talking about eating disorders and illnesses like Body dysmorphic disorder(an OCD-like disorder revolving around obsessing over one’s flaws)
This one girl told me that people like that are just too mentally weak to let appearance issues affect them, insecure and need to toughen up to realize that they’re beautiful. I don’t think the average person can last in my shoes dealing with what I had to go through for many years. Why can’t people understand that these illnesses won’t just easily go away and that we do work like HELL to overcome it? It’s a disease of the mind.
Doesn’t genetics, brain structure, and chemical imbalances play a role as well? I don’t see how anyone can be so heartless and ignorant to label someone with eating disorders or BDD as being mentally weak when there are hereditary and neurological factors involved.
Or do you think I’m just fooling myself and realize that I’m just a weak person with BDD. 
People like the girl you describe can’t related and therefore will have a biased opinion about ‘image’ disorders. Unless of course it hits close to home. Maybe she or someone she knows is not as strong as how she believes people should be.
I think a good percentage of people who judge others are just projecting what they don’t like about themselves.
You’re right, a whole lot factors into who and what we are. Back to Nurture vs Nature, I think it’s both. Studies have shown that it is pretty much impossible to reproduce the same ‘environment’ even with twins to produce the same effects on a person.
This means that none of us can say “I know what you mean”, because we don’t. The trials we go through in life are what makes us uniquely strong in the life we live. A weak mind (heart) is one that judges.
I also believe that you can overcome anything you put your mind to. I overcame allergies. I decided to do and did. Somethings don’t happen over night, you just start walking in the direction you want to go and before you know it you will have reached you goal, and not even realized it until after the fact.
It’s kind of like that trip you can’t wait to go on and it’s a year a way, the next thing you know it’s over and you didn’t notice the time passing.
Alzheimer’s Disease : How Does Alzheimer’s Affect the Brain?
My Brain and my Heart are in conflict. Do I pursue her?
Ive met this girl that is VERY attractive, and EXTREMELY interesting. Shes really cool and we have a lot in common. We have talked for a long period of time and I like her but… she is sick. She has a degenerative disease, incurable thus far. I keep on wobbling back and fourth from pursuing her or not.
The fact is that I am afraid. I don’t want to fall in love and then have her leave me… alone. Of course it is most likely that we would simply date, break up, and then move on. But there is always that chance that we would become attached together and we would love together… but we wouldn’t grow old together.
Is it worth the risk? I know the old clique “its better to have loved and lost” but… I’m not in love yet, and I have other girls I have interest in. There’s just something different about this one… What do I do?
Please tell me what disease; e-mail if you would.
I could answer this much better.
