    how well does crest whitestrips work?

    basically the same as if you get a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide and mix 50% of it with water like the packaging says. Also, there is a small chance, just like the whitestrips, of developing mouth cancer, since the HO2 is a free radical and basically those little atoms are like pool balls...

    Best multivitamin?

    I like the whole foods multivitamins...where they actually crush food down into little pills. You can get them with no iron too. Whatever you do, stay away from synthetic vitamins like Centrum. Comes from a man, bad. Comes from Nature, good!

    Big problem with lack of energy

    The process is a bit detailed for a quick post, so here are some links: "A muscle cell has some amount of ATP floating around that it can use immediately, but not very much -- only enough to last for about three seconds. To replenish the ATP levels quickly, muscle cells contain a high-energy...
