DEAR DR. GOTT: Six months ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, for which I have been on Synthroid. My biggest concern is hair thinning, to the point of having to use a hairpiece and wig at times. Further, I have nightmares and want to know when they will stop.
I am on a diuretic and timolol for my glaucoma, Zocor for high cholesterol and Ativan for sleep. I'm also on a daily multi- vitamin, kelp, two fish-oil tablets, a 400 IU cod-liver-oil tablet, four calcium with vitamin D pills, magnesium, an 81-milligram aspirin, 1,000 milligrams niacin and echinacea. My doctor doesn't endorse vitamins, but I've taken them for 60 years. I'm told I look 55 and attribute that to good genes.

Dr. Dr. David Campbell, publisher of the "Alternatives" newsletter, said celery seed extract works consistently on gout Clinical studies using 34 mg. of celery seed extract showed significant reduction in pain after three weeks of use. Perhaps the Bible had the best answer in treating gout, with the olive leaf, which was referenced in the book of Ezekiel 47:12: "The fruit thereof shall be for meat and the leaf thereof for medicine. Olive leaf extract has been studied as a successful treatment for gout Supplements from the stinging nettle leaf plant, an herb that grows wild in temperate regions of world, has been used by European doctors to reduce uric acid build-up associated with gout.
Ninety-five percent of all gout patients are men over 30. The British Medical Journal published a 12-...

When a former Missouri football player sought four tickets to each of the Tigers' four Big 12 home games in 2009, he approached one of his friends still on the team.
The current MU player found a teammate whose far-off family did not use his four complimentary tickets, and an arrangement was made for the alumnus to be added to the pass list. The Tigers alum paid $400 to his friend on the team, who took a $100 cut before giving the rest of the money to his out-of-state teammate who parted with his tickets.

He coos, he digerdoos, he pole dances, he plays harmonica - without a harmonica - and he's funny, too. In his latest book of bold experimentation, "My Life as an Experiment" (Simon & Schuster), A.J. Jacobs, editor-at-large for Esquire, lives as a woman, becomes a human guinea pig, and otherwise provides an edutaining look at things we humans tend to hold dear - and then he turns it all askew.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: When my son was a teen (he's 35 now), he lost the tip of his index finger because it was frostbitten while he was on a camping trip. He was a saxophone player, and it affected his ability to play. What can you say about frostbite and its prevention? I know a lot of people who are ignorant about it. Can people become acclimatized to cold, as they do to heat? - R.P.
ANSWER: Acclimatization to cold is modest at best. It takes longer to get used to cold than it does heat, and the changes that occur are not great. One change that takes place upon repeated cold exposure is lessening of shivering. Experts aren't sure if this is good or bad. Shivering comes from muscle contractions, and those contractions generate body heat. It is true, however, that there is a slight enhancem...
