What is epsom salt used for?
Answer:
In 1618 a farmer at Epsom in England attempted to give his cows water, but they refused to drink it to due its sour/bitter taste. However the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The fame of Epsom salts then began to spread.Epsom salt was originally prepared by boiling down mineral waters at Epsom, England, and later prepared from sea water. In modern times, these salts are obtained from certain minerals such as epsomite.Medical use:Locally it may be used as a treatment of an ingrown nail. Oral magnesium sulfate, or magnesium hydroxide, is used as a laxative. Epsom salts are also available in a gel form for topical application in treating aches and pains. Intravenous use is broadening, as magnesium sulfate reduces striated muscle contractions and blocks peripheral neuromuscular transmission by reducing acetylcholine release at the myoneural junction, as well as other effects. Indications for its use are:* Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium concentrations in the blood)* Treatment (and sometimes prevention) of seizures in eclampsia, for which it is the most effective therapy.* In some cardiac arrhythmias, most notably in:
o Severe refractory ventricular fibrillation ("V-fib"), Pulseless ventricular tachycardia ("V-tach"), atrial fibrillation, and Torsades de pointes tachycardia* As a bronchodilator after beta-agonist and anticholinergic agents have been tried, e.g. in severe exacerbations of asthma.[1] In fact, recent studies have revealed that magnesium sulfate can be nebulized to reduce the symptoms of acute asthma (Blitz et al 2005). In the UK, it is commonly administered via the intravenous route for the management of severe asthma attacks* As a tocolytic agent, administered intravenously for the treatment of preterm labor: Until recently, intravenous magnesium sulfate was used extensively as first-line therapy in pregnancy to treat or forestall preterm contractions and preterm labor, but studies have shown that presumption of its effectiveness was unwarranted. Other, better tocolytic agents are now commonly used.* For treatment of acute migraine.* In the treatment of tetanus* In the management of pheochromocytoma* In maintaining and preventing amphetamine and methamphemine tolerance.* Can also be used in the treatment of acne, when used as a bath additive.[2]Epsom salts
Epsom salts* Recent (2004) research at the School of Biosciences, Birmingham University, UK has shown that both magnesium and sulphate are absorbed through the skin when bathing in 1% solution.[3]

Answer:
Definition of ChikungunyaChikungunya: An urban disease resembling dengue fever, seen mainly in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia, caused by an arbovirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. The most prominent frequent feature is severe arthritis. Chikungunya fever was first described in epidemic form in East Africa in 1952-1953. The virus is arthropod-borne (it is therefore an arbovirus) and belongs to the family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus. Human infections are acquired by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, and epidemics are sustained by human-mosquito-human transmission. This epidemic cycle is similar to that of dengue and urban yellow fever. Chikungunya fever is characterized by sudden onset, chills and fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, arthralgia, and rash. In contrast to dengue, chikungunya is characterized by a briefer febrile episode, by persistent arthralgia in some cases, and by the fortunate absence of fatalities. Chikungunya in Swahili means "that which bends up" referring to the stooped posture of patients afflicted with the severe joint pain of this disease. Pronounced chik-n-gunya with the accent on the first syllable.
http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.Consult a good Homeopath for treatment, Homeopathy works wonders in treating it.
Viral fevers spread through the bite of the mosquito. Chikungunya, also known as “stooping disease” causes fever and severe joint pain that forces sufferers to double over. Dengue, also known as “break-bone fever” causes flu-like symptoms, severe bone pain and internal bleeding.On Thursday, India's health minister attempted to ease widespread fears over dengue fever, saying action was being taken. "The situation is being controlled. There is no need for alarm. There is no need to be panicked," Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss told reporters after meeting with health ministers from four affected states.The blighted areas will be provided with more insecticide, "fogging machines" to spray it with, and testing kits, the minister said. "We have moved to coordinate efforts. In the next few days to come we expect the cases to reduce," the minister added.

What is chelation therapy?
Answer:
WHAT IS CHELATION?Chelating (pronounced key-layting) agents are substances which can chemically bond with, or chelate (from the Greek chele, claw), metals, minerals, or chemical toxins from the body. The chelating agent actually encircles a mineral or metal ion and carries it from the body via the urine and feces. HOW DOES IT WORK? Chelation therapy involves injecting chelating agents into the blood-stream- for the purpose of eliminating from the body undesirable substances- such as heavy metals, chemical toxins, mineral deposits, and fatty plaques (as in the arteries; the agent binds to the calcium in the plaques). EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) is an effective and widely studied chelating agent. It cannot chelate mercury, however, DMSA and DMPS, the chemicals which work intravenously to chelate mercury, are not approved by the FDA. EDTA is a synthetic amino acid amino acids, are the building blocks of protein. Chelation therapy with EDTA was first introduced into medicine in the United States in 1948 as a treatment for the lead poisoning- of workers in a battery factory. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Navy advocated chelation for sailors who had absorbed lead while painting- government ships and facilities. The FDA approved IV EDTA chelation as a treatment for lead poisoning. Physicians administering the chelation for lead toxicity observed that patients- who also had atherosclerosis (fatty-plaque buildup on arterial walls) or arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) experienced reductions- in both conditions after chelation.1 Since 1952, IV EDTA chelation has been used to treat cardiovascular disease. ORAL CHELATION FOR HEAVY METAL TOXICITY AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Human exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically in the last 50 years, however, as a result of an exponential increase in the use of heavy metals in industrial processes and products. Today, chronic exposure comes from mercury-amalgam dental fillings, lead in paint and tap water chemical residues in processed foods, and "personal care" products (cosmetics, shampoo and other hair products, mouthwash, toothpaste, soap). In today's industrial society, there is no escaping exposure to toxic chemicals and metals. In addition to the hazards at home and outdoors, many occupations involve- daily heavy metal exposure. Over 50 professions entail exposure to mercury alone. These include physicians, pharmaceutical workers, any dental occupation, laboratory workers, hairdressers, painters, printers, welders, metalworkers, cosmetic workers, battery makers, engravers, photographers, visual artists, and potters.
Chelation therapy is a chemical process in which a synthetic solution-EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)-is injected into the bloodstream to remove heavy metals and/or minerals from the body. Chelation means “to grab” or “to bind.” When EDTA is injected into the veins, it “grabs” minerals such as lead, mercury, copper, iron, arsenic, aluminum, and calcium and removes them from the body. Except as a treatment for lead poisoning, chelation therapy is controversial and unproven.Chelation therapy is performed on an outpatient basis; you usually do not have to stay in the hospital.
a controversial treatment for arteriosclerosis that attempts to remove calcium deposits from the inner walls of the coronary arteries.
Chelation therapy is a process involving the use of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. For the most common forms of heavy metal intoxication, those involving lead, arsenic or mercury, the standard of care in the US dictates the use of DMSA. This, in addition to other chelating agents such as DMPS and alpha lipoic acid (ALA), are used in conventional and alternative medicine.
Chelation therapy can help you remove heavy metal traces. Heavy metals can cause brain disorders and affect your mental function. You can also use homeopathy to help detoxify against heavy metals. Read this article to find out more

What is bladderwreaks?
i believe its an herb.
Answer:
bladderwhack is a sea vegetable (seaweed) rich in nutrients and a good source of natural iodine.and good for the thyroid and its conditions. Also weight loss due to its positive effect on the thyroid.
Yes you are correct.Bladderwrack, which is really a nutrient rich form of kelp, has been used medicinally for centuries. The main use of the herb has been for the stimulation of the thyroid gland as a treatment for obesity and cellulite. The high iodine content of the herb stimulates thyroid function which boosts metabolism. Because of the high iodine content bladderwrack should be used according to the directions and anyone with thyroid problems should consult their doctor. Start with 1 to 2 capsules per day.Bladder wrack should not be used in cases of hyperthyroidism or cardiac problems, or during pregnancy and lactation. Excessive dosage (many times the recommended dosage) may lead to hyperthyroidism, tremor, increased pulse rate and elevated blood pressure.

What is bisabolol?
this ingredient is added to one to my daily beauty treatment
Answer:
Take a look at this website.It should tell you all you'd like to know. :)
Bisabolol, or more formally 伪-(-)-bisabolol or also known as levomenol, is a natural monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol. It is a colorless viscous oil that is the primary constituent of the essential oil from German chamomile (Matricaria recutita). It is almost insoluble in water and glycerin, but well soluble in ethanol. The enantiomer, 伪-(+)-bisabolol, is also found naturally but is rare. Synthetic bisabolol is usually a racemic mixture of the two, 伪-(卤)-bisabolol.Bisabolol has a weak sweet floral aroma and is used in various fragrances. It has also been used for hundreds of years in cosmetics because of its perceived skin healing properties. Bisabolol is known to have anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.A structurally related compound known as 尾-bisabolol (CAS# [15352-77-9]) differs only in the position of the tertiary alcohol functional group.

What is better smoking weed or taking vicadin for cronic pain ..im a gulf war vet withperipheal neuro pathy
side effects of vicadin are more dangerous than smoking weed.My nuerological problems are leaving me in constant pain where i do resort to weed .Ive been dx with fybro myalgia,chronic fatigue,guillianne barre ,bells palsy, ptsd,tmj,rhumatoid athritis,shall i go on %26 on ..if u ask me id rather use something natural than something chemically prodused such as hydrocodone or morphine...let me live and die in peace.
Answer:
Pot has it's medical uses, I too smoke weed, but use it more to help me sleep better, to stimulate appetite as being in severe chronic pain, I simply don't get hungry. It also works great for muscle spasms and nausea. As for pain, I don't know that it works that great for it, other than as a muscle relaxant or minor pain. I take Methadone for pain management, with Vicodin mixed in on the days I have breakthrough pain. I would think with Rhumatoid Arthritis, you would need to be taking something to control inflammation. You don't say if you do or not. The Fibromyagia may respond to Valerian. This will also help with pain. It can be purchased in the vitamin aisle. Chronic fatigue is a symptom of the Fibromyagia, if you can gain better quality of sleep, you may find your fatigue ease up. The Valerian will help you get that sleep. Good luck, hope you get to feeling better.
Maybe you could see an acupuncturist? Mine works wonders on all kinds of pain.
First there is no bad or dangerous side effects of marijauna.hydrocodone is pretty pu55y cuz u have to take like 4 7.5s to feel it in 20 mins and it doesnt last long, Lortabs pwnn
Hey dude...
Lots of us are veterans...
Go see the VA Doctor..
Do not mess with your life any more.. You have done your part.Your first step to recovery is to admit that you have a problem.I for one am proud of you..God BlessDale
Well weed isn't a pain-killer so if it's about pain then stick with vicadin. With the shape you're it really doesn't matter about the side effects of anything. If you're trying to forget about your situation then smoke weed, by all means.
I'm sorry to hear about your condition %26 thank you for serving our country %26 the sacrifices you have made for us. If you need assistance then please call your local DAV office - they're a wonderful resource for vets like yourself who have sacrificed so much.
I agree with you about the natural part. Vicadins are awful and they make me sick. I hope you are where it is legal for pain otherwise you could be arrested for relieving your pain. Check out norml.org Morphine and Oxycontin were the only meds that helped my grandpa with his pain. Be careful.
Wow. That is a whole bunch of auto immune issues going on. I would recomend gentle yoga, you can get a video or go to a class. It helps me so much. I agree that marajuana is better than vicadin if it helps you. Don't stop using the VA though. You might want to talk to a Natropathic Doc, or a nutritionist. Food is a powerfull healer. Good luck, find your peace to live in, and thank you for serving our country.
taking vicadin because you won't be sent to jail
can you get accupuncture? i agree with you on the weed, but its illegal and it gets us in trouble, unless you live where its allowed?? ask a naturalist dr or healer.

What is better for killing germs? (hand sanatizer)?
Germ-x or Purell?
Answer:
Neither. Wash your hands well works better than anything.
Does not matter
They're made of the same exact stuff in the same exact concentration. You could buy hand sanitizer from the dollar store and it's the same stuff - it's all just packaged in different packages and under different names with different prices. Some are moisturizing, but it doesn't lessen the hand sanitizing properties, just dries your hands out less.

What is best for earaches, that can be done at home?
Answer:
When I was a little girl my mother used to heat a little olive oil in a teaspoon and pour that into my ear. Then plug it with cotton wool. It did wonders and is something I'll use for my kids too.
If you have nothing severe, an OTC ear syringe with olive oil (it's a kit) found in most pharmacies can do wonders. If you have a medical situation, depending upon what the doctor may find, if pain medication is believed to be helpful, ask them if Abiotic fluid (it comes in a bottle, of course) would be helpful for you. I was prescribed that at one time, and it worked wonders.
make sure no one in the household smokes.Not a scientifically conducted study, but I have noticed that people who complain about having kids with frequent ear infections are almost always smokers.I almost never hear of non smokers whose kids have this kind of problem, and my own kids stopped having them after we quit visiting in-laws who chain-smoked.
The microbes that cause earaches usually show up first as a respiratory infection in your nose or throat. All it takes is a little push鈥攜ou blow your nose, you lie down鈥攁nd the viruses or bacteria move into your eustachian tubes. These are tiny channels that connect your nasal passages to your inner ears. From there, it's a short trip to the middle ear and your eardrum, which is laced with sensitive nerve endings. The infection creates pus, which pushes against your eardrum, causing pain. It can even make the eardrum burst. Try these tips to take the ache out of your ear. Warm up to olive oil. A few drops of olive oil or mineral oil can provide temporary relief, says Clough Shelton, M.D., an associate clinical professor of otolaryngology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a member of the House Ear Institute at the University of Southern California. Warm it up like a baby's bottle under hot tap water for a few minutes. Test the oil first (it should be about body temperature) and apply it with an ear dropper. Make sure to use only enough to coat the inner lining of the ear, he says. Turn on the heat. There are two approaches for using heat to help relieve the pain of an earache. You can try setting a heating pad on medium and placing it on top of the sore ear. Or you can turn a hair dryer on the lowest warm setting and direct the warm air down the ear canal, holding the dryer 6 to 12 inches from your ear. Do not use the hair dryer for more than three to five minutes. Prop yourself up. You're better off sitting up in bed than lying flat on your back, says David Marty, M.D., a Jefferson, Missouri, otolaryngologist and author of the The Ear Book. Sitting up actually allows blood to drain away from the head so there's less congestion in the eustachian tube, he says. "That's why kids with an earache will quit crying when you pick them up and start crying again when you lay them down," he says. "It's not that they want to be held, it's just that they feel better with their heads up." Fill up on fluids. Drinking lots of water and juice not only helps soothe the symptoms, but repeated swallowing can also help clear your eustachian tubes, says Charles P. Kimmelman, M.D., professor of otolaryngology at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. Chewing and yawning are also good for clearing your eustachian tubes, he says. Try a vasoconstrictor. Over-the-counter nasal sprays like Neo-Synephrine contain the ingredient phenylephrine, which helps return your eustachian tube to normal functioning, says Dr. Kimmelman. "The spray shrinks down the lining of the nose and hopefully the region around the entrance of the eustachian tubes, allowing the tube to function better. If the eustachian tube returns to normal, you'll feel better," he explains. Don't use phenylephrine-containing nosedrops for more than a few days, and make sure you don't exceed the daily dosage recommended on the label. Overuse of nasal sprays can actually make the problem worse. Opt for a painkiller. Another possible temporary remedy for ear pain: an over-the-counter analgesic like Advil or Tylenol, says W. Steven Pray, Ph.D., professor of pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford. "Just don't fall into the trap of taking an analgesic and thinking because your ear doesn't hurt anymore, you don't need an antibiotic," he says. "The analgesic doesn't kill the organisms鈥攊t just controls the pain." Ask about antibiotics. Because a bacterial infection is one of the most common causes of earache, most doctors recommend taking antibiotics like Amoxil and Ceclor to beat the bug, stresses Dr. Pray.
Warmth and ear drops to clean the ear canals.Just ask you Pharmacist. If that doesn't work see a doctor. The pain could be a warning sign of something worse. And your hearing is a precious thing. Keep your ears covered outside in the cold.
Earache is the result of infection in the ear area. The middle of the ear is normally filled with air. But during a cold, fluid or mucus gets accumulated in the middle ear and may get infected by bacteria, which leads to ear pain. Even infections that affect the ear nerves can be a cause for earache. There are quite a number of reasons for the earache to occur, and all the symptoms have to be dealt with prompt medical care.Common Causes of Ear ache
Blockage in the ear tube (Eustachian tube)
Tooth infection such as abscessed teeth
Objects stuck in the ear
Damage to the eardrum
Sinusitis
Earwax
Arthritis
Ear injury
Tonsilitis
PharyngitisSOME HOME REMEDIES FOR EARACHES.#Sooth the ear with the warm, not the hot setting, of a hairdryer. Now be careful and make sure it is on the warm setting.
#If you puncture a piece of garlic and pour the juice in the ear it will help to take the pain away. Garlic has a natural antibiotic, so use it, and see if it helps.
#If the ache is from altitude change, just chew gum or yawn to relieve the pain.
# If you get it from swimming, usually called, swimmer's ear, just put some mineral oil in before going in the water. This should help the condition.
#The greatest pain reliever is the presence of warm, moist heat around the ache. A warm compress - such as a towel rung out in hot water and pressed against the ear, brings immediate relief.
#After you take a shower or bath; blow dry your ears with the warm setting of a hair dryer instead of rubbing them.
#Puncture a piece of garlic and pour the juice in the ear. Garlic being a natural antibiotic will help to take the pain away.
#Put some mineral oil (oil derived from a mineral source, such as petroleum, because it is inexpensive and rarely causes allergic reactions) in your ear before going in the water. Wear earplugs while swimming and avoid swimming in dirty waters.
#Warm few drops of olive oil in a spoon. Using the dropper, put 2-3 drops in each ear after the oil has cooled down. This will help relieve pain.
#Excessive earwax can also cause hearing problems and aches. Put a capful of hydrogen peroxide in each ear, let it set for a minute or two, and then let it drain out. One drop of alcohol after bathing can also prevent excessive earwax.
#A hot water bottle wrapped in a towel also makes a comforting pillow for an aching ear.
#Press a dual-purpose first-aid gel pack that you can warm up in hot water or the microwave on your ear. It will make you feel better.
#Warm up an oven-safe plate, wrap it in a towel, and rest your aching ear right on it. The plate should be warm and comforting, not hot,
#With the help of a dropper, pour warm mineral oil to soothe a sore ear.
#If wind bothers your aching ears, wear a scarf when you're outside, or stuff cotton, but avoid pushing it deep down from where you can not retrieve it with your fingers.
#If your ears hurt when the pressure changes, especially during descent and landing during an airplane flight, chew gum or suck on candy. The chewing or sucking will activate the muscles that send air to your inner ears, when you hear your ears "pop," you'll feel better.
#If chewing doesn't work, close your mouth, relax your cheek muscles, hold your nose and blow one nostril at a time gently until you feel relief.
#If the pain is bad and doesn't go away quickly, make sure you go to the doctor, he can give you an antibiotic to cure this problem.
#Grind a few Holy basil leaves and extract some juice. Apply 2 drops inside the ear.
#Boil 3-4 cloves of Garlic in some water. Mash them and add a pinch of salt. Wrap this poultice in a flannel or woolen cloth and place on the aching ear.
#For gripping ear pain just put few drops of warm onion juice and your pain will just vanish away in a jiffy.
I bought herbal eardrops for my son when he had a really bad earache. They were around $12 a bottle and you can probably find them in any health food store or health food section of your local supermarket. They are basically garlic...yes, garlic, and they smell like it too. BUT, and most importantly...the work! I put the drops in his ear, he went to sleep for a while, and when he woke up a few hours later, he felt much better, and his earache was completely gone the next day.
Here are some herbal remedies for ear infections.Healing herbs are great for relieving pain and inflammation. They also treat the underlying causes without the risk of side effects that antibiotics have. And they don't cause antibiotic resistance.Liquid extracts or tinctures are probably the best way to go with kids. You may want to avoid alcohol-based tinctures with kids. There are glycerine-based tinctures available which go down easy because they're sweet.Echinacea is a well-known herb for stimulating the immune system. It also reduces inflammation and slows the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. For a child who gets repeat ear infections, you may want to boost her immune system with echinacea and 500 mg of vitamin C a day. If your child develops diarrhea, cut back on the C.Note: Don't use echinacea for more than two weeks as it loses its effectiveness over time.Goldenseal is another well-known herb with antibacterial properties. It also soothes irritated membranes. Many times it's used in combination with echinacea. Give your child one dose of the liquid extract every two hours until his symptoms start to go away. Then cut back to one dose three times a day for a week.Garlic is almost the herbal equivalent of a wonder drug! It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungus. It's good for "swimmer's ear," as well as for ear infections. You can buy garlic oil or make your own.Mullein is great for earaches, and also for colds and coughs. This herb is a traditional Native American remedy. It not only relieves congestion and inflammation, but also has antibacterial and pain-relieving properties as well. You can buy mullein oil or make it yourself. St John's wort can also be used to relieve pain, and it's useful as an antiviral, and an antibacterial. Use a few drops of the warmed oil in the ear canal.Essential oil of lavender is soothing and also has antiseptic properties. Be sure to dilute it in an equal amount of olive oil to avoid irritating your little one's delicate skin. A few drops of this warmed oil blend can be dripped into the ear canal, or rubbed behind the ear to help an unhappy toddler fall sleep.Both peppermint tea and chamomile tea are soothing. They can also relieve pain and inflammation. Lemon balm tea is a potent antiviral. It's also good for colds and other viral illnesses, especially if your child starts drinking it at the first sign of sickness. It's lemony taste makes it go down easy, too. You can sweeten it with honey if your child is over a year old, or with stevia.
What is Ayurveda Medicine? Is there one in the Philippines?
Answer:
Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient system of health care that is native to the Indian subcontinent. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of the word 膩yus meaning "life" or "life principle", and the word veda, which refers to a system of "knowledge". Thus "Ayurveda" roughly translates as the "knowledge of life". According to Charaka, "life" itself is defined as the "combination of the body, sense organs, mind and soul, the factor responsible for preventing decay and death, which sustains the body over time, and guides the processes of rebirth."Doubt if you can get it in Philippines.
It is Indian traditional medicine, knowledge and culture. ~

What is and how do you cure protein in the urine?
Answer:
Protein in the urine is a result of your kidney's having damage and not functioning correctly. You correct it by going to the doctor and diagnosing what is causing the kidney damage.Under normal conditions a kidney should not be excreting protein. You should see a doctor to find out why yours are and make sure there is not a larger problem..
This can also happen when you are on a diet where you are eliminating most or all carbohydrate intake. If this is you, try adding some complex carbs (whole grains, etc.) back into your diet.
Protein in urine can occur for several reasons including intense exercise, fever, pregnancy and others. It can also be from kidney disease like nephrotic or nephritic syndrome. These are diseases where a person can lose a substantial amount of protein mainly albumin. In the case of kidney disease a transplant is often indicated.
Are you diabetic? Diabetic's show protein in their urine. You need to go to the doctor. By the way, how do you know, there is protein in your urine?
Your kidneys have the job of filtering your blood and sending the waste products out as urine. Most healthy people don't have significant protein in their urine (proteinuria). If you do, it usually means something is wrong. It can be a problem with your kidneys or another condition. Occasionally a person with this symptom can be healthy. So you can't cure proteinuria--you have to find and cure the underlying problem.Kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, and a host of other conditions cause this symptom.If you have proteinuria you should be seeing a doctor.http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/...
http://kidneydiseases.about.com/od/prote...
http://patients.uptodate.com/topic.asp?f...
Hi Cachita.
You need know that normally, protein is not found in urine when a routine dipstick test is performed. This is because the kidney is supposed to keep large molecules, such as protein, in the blood and only filter out smaller impurities. Even if small amounts of protein do get through, they are normally re-absorbed by the body and used as a source of energy.Some proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly. (For a 24-hour test: the normal value is less than 150 mg per 24 hours)If the kidney is diseased, protein will appear in the urine -- even if the blood levels are normal.Abnormal results may mean an increase in urine protein, and this may indicate: * Amyloidosis
* Bacterial pyelonephritis
* Bladder tumor
* Congestive heart failure (inadequately perfusing the kidneys)
* Diabetic nephropathy
* Glomerulonephritis
* Goodpasture's syndrome
* Heavy metal poisoning
* Lupus erythematosus
* Malignant hypertension
* Multiple myeloma
* Nephrotic syndrome
* Nephrotoxic drug therapy
* Polycystic kidney disease
* PreeclampsiaWhat your problem? Sorry, I not know. I would recommend a thorough examination by your doctor. This will help detect any developing health problems as early as possible.

What is anadrol?
steroid
Answer:
Oxymetholone (Anadrol), is a synthetic anabolic steroid developed by Syntex in 1960. Its primary clinical applications include treatment of osteoporosis and anaemia, as well as stimulating muscle growth in undernourished or underdeveloped patients. The drug was approved for human use by the FDA. However, later non-steroidal drugs such as Epogen were developed and proven to be more effective as a treatment for anaemia and osteoporosis without the side-effects of oxymetholone. The drug remained available despite this, and eventually found a new use in treating HIV wasting syndrome. While classified as a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act, it remains available via prescription as Anadrol (registered as a trademark of Unimed Pharmaceuticals.)Presented most commonly as a 50 mg tablet, Oxymetholone is the strongest androgenic steroid available. Similarly, it also poses the greatest risk of side effects of any steroid. Despite very low binding affinity with the androgen receptor, oxymetholone is highly effective in promoting extensive gains in body mass, mostly by greatly improving muscular water retention. For this reason, it is often used illegally by bodybuilders and athletes. Many athletes also use Oxymetholone as a method of protection for the joints under heavy loads. Due to the high water retention users experience from this drug, it similarly lubricates the joints and helps protect them from injury. Oxymetholone is widely considered by bodybuilders to have the strongest anabolic effect out of any oral steroid available; weight increases of 20 pounds in 2 weeks are not unusual of with this drug.The side-effects of short-term use of the drug itself include nausea, bloating, acne, and masculinising effects such as deepening of the voice, growth of facial hair and clitoral hypertrophy . In addition, oxymetholone is readily aromatized by aromatase to form a progestagen, and unless selective estrogen receptor modulators such as tamoxifen or clomifene are taken in conjunction with the drug, there is a significant risk of the appearance of estrogenic effects such as gynaecomastia over time. Because of its 17伪-alkylated structure, oxymetholone is highly hepatotoxic. Long term use of the drug can cause a variety of serious ailments, including hepatitis, liver cancer, and cirrhosis. It is very dangerous to take oxymetholone in high dosages for periods of time exceeding six weeks, and is commonly used by bodybuilders during the start of a steroid cycle to help gain mass and increase serum levels of androgens quickly.To further increase its effectiveness as an anabolic agent, bodybuilders typically stack (see steroid stack) oxymetholone with other anabolic steroids. Since it is already a very potent androgen, many users will combine it with drugs such as nandrolone, boldenone and testosterone to further their gains.That was from the first website link below....Hepatic: Cholestatic jaundice with, rarely, hepatic necrosis and death. Hepatocellular neoplasms and peliosis hepatis have been reported in association with long-term androgenic anabolic steroid therapy (see WARNINGS).
Genitourinary System:
In Men:
Prepubertal: Phallic enlargement and increased frequency of erections.
Postpubertal: Inhibition of testicular function, testicular atrophy and oligospermia, impotence, chronic priapism, epididymitis, bladder irritability and decrease in seminal volume.
In Women:
Clitoral enlargement, menstrual irregularities.
In Both Sexes:
Increased or decreased libido. CNS: Excitation, insomnia. Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Hematologic: Bleeding in patients on concomitant anticoagulant therapy, iron-deficiency anemia. Leukemia has been observed in patients with aplastic anemia treated with oxymetholone. The role, if any, of oxymetholone is unclear because malignant transformation has been seen in blood dyscrasias and leukemia has been reported in patients with aplastic anemia who have not been treated with oxymetholone. Breast: Gynecomastia. Larynx: Deepening of the voice in women. Hair: Hirsutism and male-pattern baldness in women, male-pattern of hair loss in postpubertal males. Skin: Acne (especially in women and prepubertal boys). Skeletal: Premature closure of epiphyses in children (see PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric Use), muscle cramps. Body as a Whole: Chills. Fluid and Electrolytes: Edema, retention of serum electrolytes (sodium, chloride, potassium, phosphate, calcium). Metabolic/ Endocrine: Decreased glucose tolerance (see PRECAUTIONS), increased serum levels of low-density lipoproteins and decreased levels of high-density lipoproteins (see PRECAUTIONS: Laboratory Tests), increased creatine and creatinine excretion, increased serum levels of creatinine phosphokinase (CPK). Reversible changes in liver function tests also occur, including increased bromsulphalein (BSP) retention and increases in serum bilirubin, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), and alkaline phosphatase.Is from the second link below........
Anadrol is considered by many users to the the single most potent steroid. Results are said to be extremely dramatic - as mentioned above, users may experience gains of up to 10 pounds in a period of time as short as two weeks. Extreme increases in mass - as much as 20-30 pounds for the novice user, may be seen in periods of time as little as six weeks, and on doses of anadrol as low as 50-100 mg. Although water retention is a big part of the picture when anadrol is used, this still adds to the overall size gains experience by the user as well as those in strength. The user should be aware that such dramatic gains in mass may put high levels of stress on the connective tissues. It is possible to gain mass too quickly.
an anabolic-androgenic STEROID used to treat ANEMIA.

It is a drug containining oxymetholone and is used in cases of anaemia to restore red cell counts..
"Anadrol is the strongest and also the most effective oral steroid. Anadrol has an extremely high androgenic effect which goes hand in hand with an extremely intense anabolic component. Anadrol is the U.S. brand name for oxymetholone, a very potent oral androgen. This compound was first made available in 1960, by the international drug firm Syntex. Since oxymetholone is quite reliable in its ability to increase red blood cell production (and effect admittedly characteristic of nearly all anabolic/androgenic steroids), it showed particular promise in treating cases of severe anemia. For this reason, dramatic gains in strength and muscle mass can be achieved in a very short time. An increase in body weight of 10 - 15 pounds or more in only 14 days is not unusual. This item is shown to have a much more direct effect on the red blood cell count, without the side effects of a strong androgen. "
This is an anabolic steroid.
I try to post an answer to all queries about them, in the hope that I might convince one or two of you lunatics not to do it! In the UK at least no steroids can or should be available without a doctor's prescription. They may not be illegal to take, but they do indicate a head in the sand mentality!It is fascinating to read the reassurances that there are no risks from anabolic steroids, displayed on sites that sell them. They have presumably never had a relative have an early stroke or heart attack.Side effects of anabolic steroids include : raising blood pressure,raising cholesterol, (both of which increase cardiovascular disease), physical damage to the heart itself, premature baldness, liver damage, the formation of breast tissue in males, liver damage, impotence, shrinking of the testicles and infertility. Women can become hairy, develop a deep voice, and growth can be stunted in adolescents. They also increase both aggression and depression.So if you would like to spend your life as a depressed, short bald guy with small testicles,boobs and impotence who has an heart attack, this is the way for you!

What is an alternative to deet spray for mosquitos?
Answer:
Avon's Skin-So-Soft. It's a wonderful insect repellent, and does not have DEET.
while deet is the best method to repel mosquito's, it also causes cancer in large doses. avon make skin so soft. the smell keeps the bugs away. i've used it and it works well.
Avon Skin So Soft Bug Repellant
Yes, Avon has a product called Skin So Soft. I've heard it really works good. I have never had much of a problem with Mosquito's. But, I have a relative who has West Nile. She is doing OK
Citonella oil. It is found in most health food and vitamin stores. A drop on the body works wonders.
You don鈥檛 have to sit back and just passively put up with insects, especially those that like to bite (mosquitoes, wasps etc.). Eat asparagus and your sweat will develop an odor that repels insects. Or apply lemon oil to your skin.If you are bitten, there are natural substances to soothe the irritation. Aloe vera has extraordinary powers of soothing skin disorders. It is available in forms for both internal and external application in most health and beauty stores.If you have one of these amazing plants growing at home, cut the tip off one of the leaves (the leaf will heal itself). Apply the pulp and juice to the itching or swollen area.Lightly boiled cabbage or leek makes an excellent analgesic poultice. Of course, if you are hiking in the woods, you might have a little trouble finding cabbage! Plantain also works well. Cut it and rub it to get to the juice then apply it to the affected area.Hope this helps, Good Luck.
What is Aloe 225?
I wanna know
Answer:
Aloe 225 is the resinous preparation of the skin of the aloe frond. This preparation of aloe is traditionally known for its cathartic properties (used to relieve severe constipation ).This is not a form of aloe which should be used lightly. The resinous portion of the aloe leaf can cause death in extreme cases because if you're not dealing with extreme constipation, the resulting "purge" can be very, very powerful.

What is all the fuss about pomegranate juice, why is it so good for you?
Answer:
Yes, it's good for you--lots of antioxidants. But it's also a lot of hype and marketing. You can read about how the founders of POM created research to make it sell at the link below. Cheers.
It has minerals and antioxidents. I think it also does something about burnin calories or digestive tract help or something dietary related. It's yummy too!
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/...It can slow down, and may actually reverse arterial and heart disease. This is one of mother earth's finest anti-oxidants.
it has good antioxidants, but i found mangosteen to be more effective. twice the anti oxidants, and the juice tastes awesome.
As long as the brand of juice you're drinking isn't loaded with sugar and preservatives, pomegranates contain a complex of potent antioxidants.
What is alcohol used for?
im doing a sci project on alcohol. and i wanna no what its used for ie ops and tht sort of thing.im in bottom set and rarely go to science soid like to no as much as u can tell mebowt
whats in alcohol tht damages ur bodywhat is it tht makes u outof control anythink usful plz.
Answer:
Alcohol is used predominantly as a preservative. It is also used as a disinfectant (e.g. alcohol swabs before an injection - this is usually isopropyl alcohol, not the sort of alcohol you drink which is ethanol).It can also be used as a fuel, eg methylated spirits, which is mainly ethanol with a bit of methanol (wood alcohol) added. Remember when fondues were trendy (no, you are probably not that old). Spirit lamps use alcohol as fuel.Alcohol is also used as a solvent. A tincture is something dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and water, e.g. tincture of iodine is iodine dissolved in alcohol and water. There are many things that will dissolve in alcohol, but not in water, and alcohol has the added advantage of being a preservative so the solution will keep for longer.Alcohol is what is in alcohol that damages your body. Alcoholic beverages contain a mix of substances that include water, alcohol (ethanol), plant extracts, sugars etc. It is the alcohol part that is the most damaging. Ethanol damages liver cells, causing fatty liver and eventually cirrhosis if taken in large quantities. It also can cause dehydration as it replaces water in your body. It damages nerve cells, including brain cells.
Sounds like your doing your own research on the subject and testing it out. Good on you!
Alcohol can be used as an anaesthetic in its purest form, also in the old days pour it down ones throat before surgery.
U are a dumb ***.
Removing womens underwear.
It sounds like you are talking about 2 different kinds of alcohol. There is rubbing alcohol, which is used to kill bacteria. And then there is drinking alcohol which sounds to me like you are already aware of.

It damages nerve cells, including brain cells.
Sounds like your doing your own research on the subject and testing it out. Good on you!
Alcohol can be used as an anaesthetic in its purest form, also in the old days pour it down ones throat before surgery.
U are a dumb ***.
Removing womens underwear.
It sounds like you are talking about 2 different kinds of alcohol. There is rubbing alcohol, which is used to kill bacteria. And then there is drinking alcohol which sounds to me like you are already aware of.
What is alcohol used for? Fun. A+ on your project.
What is a safe dosage of acepromazine?
for dogs and humans.
Answer:
You may not get many answers for this in alternative medicine category.I looked at Wickipedia and they said 0.25 to 1.0mg for a dog. Didn't say for humans. I would assume the dosage is based on weight and since most dogs don't weigh over 75 pounds, human dose (based on 150 lbs) would be about 2mg. As an alternative, you might want to use Bach's Rescue Remedy. It is safe for animals and humans and you really don't have to be exact about the dose. Our store has one customer who gives a pretty large dose to her skittish horses to get them to load into a trailer. A few drops (according to the label) works well on most people. Dr. Foster %26 Smith sells it for calming dogs %26 cats for travel. Available online or in all health food stores.

What is a quick home remedy for a severe headache?
My boyfriend has been dealing with a really bad headache for about a week or two and has been taking medication for it but nothing seems to work. I just want any other solutions to this problem any suggestions are helpful.
Answer:
He might want to consider seeing a Chiropractor - I never thought I would but he was a big help with headaches. Now I take Excedrin and lay down with an icebag at the base of my skull and it works great. Of course something long term needs to be checked out by your doctor. Hope you soon get relief.
sleep a lot...
I don't think a "quick home remedy" is what you should be looking for. A headache that lasts that long could be a sympton of a larger problem. Insist that your boyfriend see a doctor immediately.
If the main 'source' of his headache is pain over/around his eyes, on his face or in his jaw or upper teeth, it's probably a sinus infection.If the headache is sinus-based, I would suggest lots of steam, lots of hot drinks and stay away from alcohol, particularly beer (tends to bring out the allergens). Stick a wet washcloth in the microwave for 20 seconds and then lay it over his cheekbones. Also get a humidifier going.
A large glass of water.
I would suspect it is a sinus headache. Go buy him some allergy medicine %26 see if this improves his condition. Advil Cold %26 Sinus is good.
Taking too much drug medications can also create a condition known as rebound headaches. So he ends up not only failing to treat himself but with worse headaches than ever.It is a good idea to use natural methods of relieving headaches. I am a chronic headache sufferer and got to learn about several home remedies from a book. Here is a couple of them:
- take magnesium.
- feverfew herb
- changing sleeping patternsIn fact, I think your question is timely as the book is offered at a great steal right now. You can check it here at http://www.naturalheadacheremedies.com...
My headache cure is in three steps.1. take a pain killer with cafine (the migrane formmula of excedrin, Cope, Vanquish, Goody's headache powders are some examples)2. eat a chocolate bar3. drink a can of cafinated soda such as Coke.All three of the items have cafine (about as much as two cups of coffee.The cafine causes the blood vessels to restrict. When the blood vessels shrink, the pressure is relieved.
Take an headache tablet

Indigestion, improper bowel movements, constipation, alcohol, smoking, eyesight, too much computer, tensions, stress both physical and mental, contribute to headaches.Try to identify the cause and you will be able to treat it.
When a headache lasts this long your boyfriend should see a doctor because this may indicate something very serious. Please don't delay any longer.
First and foremost he should find out what is the root of the problem, either by seeing a regular doctor or by going to a holistic healer or acupuncturist. It's really important to treat the cause and not the symptoms. Second, for temporary relief a good remedy is to apply pure essential lavendar oil to the temples.

What is a pill called Roxy?
My friend is taking a pill that he calls 'Roxys' and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them. I found one at my house and I'm trying to figure out if this is what it is...? What is their real pharmaceutical name? What do they look like? Numbers, letters, color?
Answer:
Roxy's are short for roxycodon. It's an addictive pain reliever that is sold in the drug market. I hope he has a prescription.It can become really addictive.
This girl above me is right, but I've also heard that term used for Roxicet. It is also more widely known as Percocet (if you've ever heard the term percs) and is a mix of acetaminophen and oxycodone. It's a fairly powerful painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain, somewhat similar to morphine. Very addictive.They are most commonly white, sometimes round, sometimes that familiar pill shape. It depends on what the dosage is. If it is Roxicet, the number will most likely start with 5 4. If he takes them all the time, chances are he's got a bit of a dependency going. I've been taking them for years and I can't seem to stop. Just another thing to worry about. If he's hurting himself or the people around him (or her, I guess) talk to him about getting help. If he's not really hurting anybody, just kinda doing his own thing, leave him alone.And if you plan on taking them, have fun, be careful, and make sure you know what they are. Don't drink too much alcohol with them, it makes you nauseous and ruins the experience. Best wishes.
I have watched so many friends fall into this addiction. What people don't know is how the roxys affect the natural chemistry in your brain. So it's a lot of fun for those trying to quit. First off you struggle through the withdrawals, then you get depressed because your brain no longer provides those natural chemicals that have been sedated for so long, so the cycle begins. It can take a solid year for your body to balance the brains chemistry. So sad

What is a NATURAL hayfever treatment, that works?
Answer:
eat a spoonful of LOCAL honey - the pollen used should act as an immunization. but, that's only if you stay in the area, and it only lessens the symptoms, not eradicates it.
vitamin C is a natural antihistamine, and there is a product called Quercetin, the problem is it takes a while to build up, so if you started taking it now, and kept it up, it would be next season that you saw the benefits.
There is a company called Shaklee that deals in natural, non-synthetic vitamins. One of their products is Alfalfa. They use a potent alfalfa extract. Alfalfa naturally lessens the production of mucous, relieves sweeling and discomfort, and boosts the body's immunities toward allergens. Google Shaklee and read up on it or search for an alfalfa extract at GNC or a health foods store.

I did not just focus on allergies but improving my overall immune system. I did this by taking nutritional supplements twice a day, and I have had great results. The shakes I take contain a multitude of vitmains, minerals, and herbal supplements. The combinations of products and the bioavailbility allow my body to absorb and use the products to improve my general health. Allergies are never cured but an improved immune system hleps your body combat the allergins. If you need more info email me from my profile.
What is a natural cure for a high createnine?
Answer:
I am just wondering why you have a high creatinine. You have to find out what is the cause of your high creatinine. Creatinine, urea and urate all increase as the ability of the kidneys to filter fluid within the body declines. This is irrespective of the cause of reduced efficiency of the kidneys. I suppose that the most common reasons for developing raised creatinine levels will be when the filtration mechanism becomes gradually damaged by long-term high blood pressure and diabetes.I can't give you a natural cure for high creatinine unless you know the cause.
Hi Rodel D, High Creatinine level, it's excess creatine on your kidneys and the not ability of your kidneys to eliminate by-product of creatine. In addition, creatinine levels can fluctuate with age, race, sex, or body mass, therefore you need get from your doctor a creatinine test results.Most likely you need get changing your diet and start to drink enormous quantities of water until a problem has been confirmed by your doctor.

What is a home remedie for a sore throat and loss of your voice?
Answer:
Gargle with warm salt water %26 sleep with a vaporizer or humidifier running all night long in your bedroom.
Sip regular ol' tea, also. Not herbal! The tannic acid in tea soothes sore throats.
I love to use honey and lemon juice. The lemon juice will help heal (Vitamin C) and the honey will coat your throat to help the soreness. You can also add a little warm water to help soothe the muscles in you throat.
Melissa tea can help Great!
Honey and Lemon can help it too.
The above solutions are all good -- here are a couple of other thoughts:
1. Most people don't drink enough water -- if you drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, every day, you're much less likely to lose your voice when you get sick.2. A lot of hoarseness and voice loss occur when people who have nasal conjestion sleep with their mouths open because they can't breathe through their noses. If, when you start to get sick, you put some mentholatum around your nostrils, you'll be much less likely to get a sore throat in the first place, by helping your body to sleep with your mouth closed. I have really severe allergies and chronic respiratory illness, but sang professionally for years following the above advice.
Take one glass of water mix it with1tsp pepper, 1tsp turmeric, 1tsp garlic, 1tsp small onion, 1tsp ginger and 1tsp of sugar. Boil it until it becomes 1/2 glass; drink it while it is warm. More remedies available at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html...
salt and vinegar is the best you mix them together in the cup and you gaggle with it for a wall and do that antill you feel better and you can also eat row garlic at help to
Know the Natural Cures for Sore Throat.Sore throat refers to the inflammation of the pharynx, or back of the throat. It occurs frequently when a person has a cold or an attack of influenza. This inflammation may also involve the tonsils and adenoids if these have not already been removed. An irritating condition of the throat may range from the harmless to the potentially serious.Symptoms: In case of acute sore throat, the patient complains burning and dryness in the throat followed by chills, fever, and some hoarseness or laryngitis. The lymph glands along the sides of the neck may become swollen and tender. The back of the throat may become very red and even covered with a greyish-white membrane. The patient may find difficulty in swallowing, especially during the acute stage. There may also be postnasal discharge if the irritation has spread to the nasal passages. The patient with sore throat, caused by 鈥?Streptoccal鈥?germs suffers from high fever and sharp pain with swelling.Causes: Sore throat is mainly caused by bacteria or a viral infection. Many different kind of ailments can give rise to this condition. The most common of these ailments are common cold and influenza. Other diseases which can causes sore throat are tonsillitis, mumps, sinusitis, measles, and diphtheria. Even leukemia on rare occasions may lead to sore throat. Other causes of this disease are excessive smoking and talking, frequent use of voice as in certain professions like singing, acting, and teaching.Treatment: The patient suffering from sore throat should fast on orange juice and water for three to five days, depending on the severity of the condition. He should take orange juice diluted with warm water every two or three hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. during this period. The bowels should be cleansed daily with warm water enema. This should be done twice daily in more serious cases. A wet pack should be applied to the throat at two-hourly intervals during the day, and also one at night. The procedure is to wring out some linen material in cold water, wrap two or three times round the effected part, and cover with some flanner. The throat may be gargled several times with warm water mixed with a little salt. A hot Epsom-salt bath, taken daily during this period, will be highly beneficial.When the more severe symptoms subside, the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for three or four further days, taking three meals a day of juicy fruits such as orange, apple, pineapple, and papaya at five-hourly intervals. Thereafter he may gradually adopt a well-balanced diet, with emphasis on seeds, nuts and grains, raw vegetables and fresh fruits. The daily dry friction and deep breathing and other exercises should form part of the daily health regimen.Home Remedies: Certain home remedies have been found to be beneficial in the treatment of sore throat. One such remedy is use of mango (aam) bark which is very efficacious in sore throat and other throat disorders. Its fluid can be applied locally with beneficial results. It can also be used as a throat gargle. This gargle is treated by mixing 10 mL of the fluidextract with 125 mL of water. The herb belleric myrobian (bahera) is another valuable remedy for sore throat. A mixture of the pulp of the fruit, salt, long pepper (pipli) and honey should be administered in the treatment of this condition. The fried fruit, roasted after covering it with wheat flour, is also a popular remedy for sore throat.Betel leaves (pan-ka-patta) have proved beneficial in the treatment of this disease. The leaves should be applied locally for obtaining relief. The fruit of the betel tree, mixed with honey, can also be taken beneficially to relieve irritating throat cough.The bishop鈥檚 weed (ajowan) is valuable in treating sore throat. An infusion of the seeds mixed with common salt can be used beneficially as a gargle in acute condition caused by colds. The spice cinnamon (dalchini) is also regarded as an effective remedy for sore throat, resulting from cold. Coarsely powdered and boiled in a glass of water with a pinch of pepper powder and honey, it can be taken as a medicine in the treatment of this condition. The oil of cinnamon, mixed with honey, also gives immense relief. A gargle prepared from fenugreek (methi) seeds has been found very effective remedy for treating sore throat. To prepare this gargle, two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds should be put in a litre of cold water and allowed to simmer for half an hour over a low flame. It should be allowed to cool to a bearable temperature. It should then be strained and entire quantity used as a gargle.The leaves of the holy basil (tulsi) have also been found beneficial in the treatment of this condition. The water boiled with basil leaves should be taken as a drink and also used as a gargle in sore throat.The patient should avoid rapid changes in temperature like hot sunshine to air-conditioned rooms. He should avoid cold and sore foods which may irritate his throat. To prevent the disease, a person should avoid touching tissues, handkerchief, towels or utensils used by the patients suffering from sore throat.Hope this helps, Good Luck.
gargle with very warm and very salty water several times a day.usually you only need to this for 1 day
eat hot noodles or chicken soup

I've had great luck with Mentadent. The best part is that you can drink something right after using it and the beverage doesn't taste funky!
you know dear, the good healty one that u can buy it fom pharmacy not from super market. try signal2.
My dentist told me any toothpast will clean teeth effectively. For the healthiest teeth, make sure you brush your teeth for 2 minutes with a soft toothbrush and floss correctly.
use glister toothpaste as it is natural and it does good polish of ur enamel as it contains an ingredient call sylodent which is patenetd formula unlike other toothpastes in the market it does cleaning,whitening,remove plaques and cavities,shining together at the same time.its wonderful i tell you.contact gaurav my friend,he can provide you this toothpaste as its not available in shops.his no. is 9845623004.he is in bangalore.
Avoid any from China ; they found poison on several lots sold on the US. That's what happens when our retail stores buy cheap junk instead of quality.
The ADA says the Cogate Total is the best toothpaste on the market.
You can make your own tooth powder with bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate). This whitens teeth and my dentist tells me it remineralises teeth too.If the teeth need a bit of whitening, add some salt.To improve taste I add a few drops of peppermint oil, and I also add oil of cloves to act as a mouth disinfectant. Just a couple of drops of clove oil as it acts as a bit of an anaesthetic too - can give a numb tongue.I have a small bowl that I put the carb soda and salt in (about tablespoon of carb soda and a teaspoon of salt), and add a few drops of each of the essential oils, then mix well. I then dip my wet toothbrush into this, and brush with whatever the toothbrush picks up.I choose not to use many of the commercial toothpastes as they are full of sugar or artificial sweeteners, sodium lauryl sulfate etc.
Hi Nimbot, you just have to learn to explore and search for much safer products in your favorite grocery store.There are several toothpaste now available in the market that are all natural. Some of them are made up of fruit extracts and essential oils. These kinds of organic toothpaste do not contain sodium fluoride in them and other toxic chemicals found in the regular ones. Though they are made from different ingredients than the regular ones, do not discount them for their quality. These organic toothpaste also can whiten your teeth, freshen your breath, and eliminate teeth and gums sensitivity. You can also combine a little gel with a drop of miracle ii soap for a wonderful toothpaste.

The healthiest and the most natural is just plain salt. It doesn't taste all that great, but there's nothing in it to harm you.Rock salt is best "cos it's natural.The ancients realised salt was healthy for their mouths,and also made their gums strong.
What is a good weight reducing green tea?
Answer:
green tea is not going to dramatically effect your weightloss, meaning don't depend on it to help you lose weight. i drink green tea because of the caffeins and benifits such as anti occidents. you can always try wulong tea www.WulongforLife.com. also the hot water in most teas help to boost your metabolism which aides weightloss.
Yogi "antioxidant " green tea. It gets you moving AND i dare say i KNOW it is the best tasting green tea out on the market.
Green tea has many benefits, some wgt loss may occur, but not a significant amt. I use hoodia and it reduces my appetite and carb cravings, so it helped me reduce. Also there are some products out there called "slimming teas". BEWARE! Most contain senna, an herb that is a laxative and you will S*** till the cows come home, and may have horrible stomach cramps. LOL
Green tea just speeds up your metabolism which combined with the right diet and exercise will reduce your weight. But not green tea alone.
What is a good way to get rid of hiccups?
Answer:
For me and my family the Homeopathic remedy Nux Vomica 30C works every time a very handy remedy to have in your house for indigestion, over eating and IBS absolutely marvelous effects and I am not a doctor. I would suggest you visit a Homeopathic Practitioner.
Viva Homeopathy nothing works better.
Drinking something cold or eating something sweet!
Holding your breath.
put ur head upside down and drink a gulp of water
Bend forward and drink a little bit of water upside down.WARNING please try withe someone else
Drink 10 small gulps of water. My friend says that it has always worked for him!
Put a packet or teaspoon of sugar on your tongue. For some reason the sugar interrupts the cycle. It works every time for us. Good Luck I hope it works for you.
the best is to drink water an hold your breath one of my friends say the best way is jumping up and down and its worked for her!
This always works. Take a brown paper bag, close up the opening of it and make a hole in the opening with one of your fingers. Then, breath in and out of the bag with your mouth for about a minute, sometimes less. Your hiccups will be gone. This works because you hiccup when you have too much oxygen in your bloodstream. Breathing your own exhaled breath decreases the oxygen in your blood. If you don't have a paper bag, you can use a small plastic bag, just as long as you are re-breathing your own breath over and over.
I like to get a big glass of water and then drink as much of it as I can without taking a breath, (so basically the whole glass) Its almost always worked for me.
Hold your breath.
Swallow.
Drink water.
I have learned as I get older that sometimes the cure is more in your head. I used to drink warm water out of a plastic cup covered with a wash cloth, so I was sipping thru the wash cloth. I now try to relax and breath slowly, as I breath slowly I notice the hiccups getting further and further apart til they are gone. You may try quirky stuff and see what works for you. I grew up with a girl whos Mom would drink baking soda water. Ick, but it worked for her.
Try swallowing a spoonful of dry sugar or tell a practical joker you have the hiccups- A good scare always works.
Get a glass of water and a straw. put the straw in the glass of water with your fingers on your ears to block them drink the water threw the straw,till all the water is gone. Then take your fingers off of your ears and breathe, they should be gone, it works for me Good Luck.Drink all the water in one breath.
drinking water
The best way is to hold your breath on your chest until you can't hold it any longer.
What has always worked for me is to hold my breath and drink two gulps of cold water or orange juice
I haven't read the other answers yet. I'm sure everyone's already mentioned this one:A spoonfull of sugar...it will make hiccups stop INSTANTLY.It really works.
to take a soft stuff to insert into your nose hole and make itching till making a sneeze or almost making sneeze
This method is very simple but it works for me every time, and for everyone I've told it to. Breath as slowly as you can without becoming faint or too uncomfortable. Breathing at this slow rate, exhale all the air in your lungs, then inhale until your lungs are full and repeat. After a minute you can stop and the hiccups will be gone.
Take in a breath until your abdomen swells out as if you are pregnant
hold the breath for around 5 seconds
let out a little breath, then hold for 2 seconds, then let out a little more, hold for 2 seconds. then let out all the rest, and as you do so.. suck in your stomach..then return to normal, slow breathing. hiccups are a spasm of the diaphragm, so you have to "reset" the flow of the diaphragm ..
What is a good supplement to take to increase bowel movements?
I don't have the time to go thru a detox program, but I would like to take something that will increase my bowel movements. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't drink coffee. What about dandelion supplements?
Answer:
Dandelion root helps increase bile production (natural laxative) and helps some people. Other things that work a bit more reliably: yellow dock (Rumex crispus), black walnut (Juglans nigra) and anything bitter. Bitter foods including rocket, endive, grapefruit.Lemon juice (up to half a lemon) in hot water, first thing in the morning can really get things moving.Psyllium husks - 1 teaspoon in a glass of water or juice, followed by another glass of fluid before going to bed. The lemon juice and psyllium will also help detox gently.
COLACE
Nothing works better than cascara sagrada, senna, or large doses of Magnesium (not Milk of Magnesia--normal Magnesium).
Isabgol and triphala are the best laxatives and regulators of bowel movements. You can try these since there are no side effects. Just beware, isabgol and triphala are medicines to be used in constipated conditions. You have not mentioned anything about constipation, so I must warn you that you take them only if you have constipation. Eat fibrous fruits like bananas which help you in regularising your bowel movements. Drink lots of water.
Psylium husks, eating food with fiber (apples, bran cerial, granola, popcorn, etc), drinking more liquids especially water, etc.If none of this helps and you continue to have problems, ask your doctor check your hormone level because the pituitary gland at the base of the brain release six different hormones over your lifespan. and some of those hormones are precursors that help the rest of the endocrine system function properly.
just eat more food containing fibre.
Well.. the best way to really get rid of toxins in the bowel and colon are through an enema. It cleans you out good and will even put water back into your body.Read the directions on the kit...
Ground flaxseed is full of fiber and can promote bowel movement. You can eat it mixed with food or take it in capsule form.

What is a good remedy to put a person to sleep?
..Without sleeping drugs like ambium, lunesta, stuff like that.
Answer:
Try some melatonin caps. It is a naturally occuring chemical in your brain that makes your body want to sleep. I use it when I have meetings and stuff the next day that I need to be alert for. Also give yourself a few minutes at the end of every day to relax and clear your head. Turn the TV or radio and just be at peace for a while. This strategy work wonders.
what i do when i really cant sleep is i take advil or whatever. it makes you tired without messing you up
Try some melatonin over the counter..or chamomile tea or hot milk. Also a warm bath helps me relax.
warm milk! think about it

What is a good NATURAL way to fall asleep?
Answer:
eat honey as they say or lay in bed with a pet if no pet i`d do the honey!
i heard drinking warm milk before you go to sleep helps.
Stretch well right before.
Get tierd enough or if you can't sleep at night don't sleep all night and all day then when it will come 20:00 max. you will fall asleep for sure ... (these works if you can hold on not sleeping all day, of course, and you need to be active all day not to fall asleep use something like Red Bull energy drink or play some outdoor game ... or if your condition is far worse go see doctor...
If by natural you mean herbal compounds, then you have several choices. Valerian herb is a potent sleep inducer. You can buy it at a health food store or a hispanic grocery store. It smells pretty funky, but it is a very safe plant root that you chop up and soak in boiling water. You drink the tea and it makes you very sleepy within half an hour. Or you can go to the drugstore or health food store and buy melatonin - it is a natural supplement that induces sleep when taken each evening. Kava is another natural herb that can help. Chamomile tea is an excellent sleep inducer as well. There are many natural sleep inducers and you can find out about them by doing some research (see the link below). If you are talking about a non-herbal method - then i would suggest meditation or relaxation techniques - where you lay in a dark room and make your mind imagine a quiet, dark place with pleasant thoughts. If you think about/visualize laying in a calm field of grass or on a quiet beach for 15 minutes you will often fall asleep.
Two suggestions: One go for a short vigorous walk for 15 minutes and immediately lie down to go to sleep. Just like when we exert ourselves physically, we feel relaxed afterwards, so too here. BUT, don't do anything (such as reading, showering, talking on the phone, or watching TV) after the walk. Go right to bed. It really works.Second, in the evening, drink a cup of Roibbos tea. (from South Africa). It's very relaxing and has 20 times the antioxidents of Green tea, and no caffeine.Good luck,Dr. Frischman
If you can't get to sleep at night there are quite a few things that you can try. If you are not working out the extra exercise can be just what you ned to get to sleep at night. Not to mention all the other health benefit that go along with it.You could also try melatonin caps. It is chemical that occurs naturally in your brain and makes you want to go to sleep.You can also try meditation. Give yourself 10-20 minutes at the end of the day to just relax with your thoughts and clear your head. Give a few a of these a try and I'm sure you will find something that works for you.
Don't knock it til you try it.
You'll sleep like a BABY...!Take a medium size jar with an air-tight lid...now take 1 med. sized WHITE ONION dice it up and put it in the Jar, then press it down to squeeze out some of the juices from the meat of the onion.then put the lid on it tightly..{store it in the fridge. until your ready to use it.}
Now...about 35 minutes before your bedtime ...shake the jar vigorously then put the jar in your sleep area, remove the Lid and let the aroma fill the room until your ready to lie down, Close the Jar and put it back in the fridge. until the following evening. If you add them to your evening meal they will make you feel sleepy .If you have acid reflex problems from Onions, I recommend NOT LAYING DOWN for at least 1 hour ! Works Great...
Warm milk has triptophan in it, like turkey, so it naturally makes you sleepy. Chamomile tea is also naturally used for calming and relaxation. If you really want to amp it up, give yourself a warm oil massage on an old towel on the floor of your bathroom, meanwhile running a hot bath in which you have added a few drops of lavender essential oil and some epsom salts. Lavender is a very relaxing aromatherapy oil and epsom salts help to relieve any body aches. Before bed take a long super super slow, long inhale, pause, then exhale very, very slowly, repeat ten times. This is excellent for relaxation and also helps you sleep better.I'm getting sleepy just thinking about this! Sweet dreams!

What is a good natural herb you can take for a cold?
Answer:
EchinaceaIn the 1930s "Echinacea" became popular in both Europe and America as a herbal medicine. Echinacea has been popularly attributed with the ability to boost the body's immune system and ward off infections, particularly the common cold.This herb is sometimes used as a natural antibiotic and immune system stimulator, helping to build resistance to colds, flu and infections. It is thought to increase the production of white blood cells, and improve the lymph glands.
Ginseng and vitamin C, drink lots of water or juice.
You should take nothing for a cold except wholesome food. Let the cold run its course.
On the first signs of a cold, take Zinc and Vitiman C. Cut an onion in half seperate the onion rings put them in a bowl and cover them with honey, let it sit for 8 hours and take the onion out and take teaspoons of the honey when needed and if you have a cough, sip an ice cold coca cola classic.
Zinc.Vit. c , garlic, cod liver oil
A power full herb is Cats Claw. It has many immune system enhancing benefits.
colloidal silver is a great natural antibiotic though it cannot be used for more that 10 days, in ww1 and ww2 it was kept on naval ships just for that purpose because it would stay fresh in its containers , its also good for an immune system that is under stress, drink lots of fluids and vitamin c and e help build ur emmune system back up too. get well soon .

I have used a product called "Omega-3" for my 3 children. It is a combo of crushed flax seeds along with beet powder and some powdered superfoods. I tastes kind of nutty and they love it in their applesauce. (When they were about 3, they wouldn't eat applesauce without it.)It comes in a gold pouch and I usually find it in the supplement section of the health food store. I use it off and on to be sure their systems stay healthy.
I would buy a bunch of fruit leather snacks. they are all natural and are high in fiber snacks. you can get all different kinds of fruits. raisins, or other dried fruits like apricots and cranberries, cranraisins.

What is a good definition for Energy Healing?
Answer:
There are several different definitions but the one I like best is this; removing energy blocks in the body so that healing energy many flow freely to heal and remove the symptoms which are usually caused by anger, stress, fear, anxiety, depression, etc. EFT (emotional freedom techniques) works very well for balancing the body's energy system.
Working directly with the emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of this energy body, the healer affects the healing and release of blocked and distorted energy patterns, enabling the innate intelligence to operate freely, restoring physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
I'm not sure, but this website has a engerizing blend that may help
What is a good at home remedy for a sunburn?
Answer:
Kitchen Cabinet Remedies
Common kitchen staples can be great sunburn soothers. Press the following into emergency action.Cornstarch. Add enough water to cornstarch to make a paste, says Fredric Haberman, M.D. Apply directly to the sunburn.Vegetable slices. Some people get relief from thin slices of raw cucumber or potato, he adds. They feel cool and may help reduce inflammation on small areas. Apple slices may also work.Lettuce. A soothing homemade solution comes from New York City skin care specialist Lia Schorr. Boil lettuce leaves in water. Strain, then let the liquid cool several hours in the refrigerator. Dip cotton balls into the liquid and gently press or stroke onto irritated skin.Yogurt. Plain yogurt is both cooling and soothing, she says. Apply to all sunburned areas. Rinse off in a cool shower, then gently pat skin dry.Tea bags. If your eyelids are burned, apply tea bags soaked in cool water to decrease swelling and help relief pain, says Schorr.There are a whole bunch of easy to make remedies.
Goodluck to you!this site has tons of more remedies: http://www.mothernature.com/library/book...
Aloe.
cut a leaf from an aloe vera plant cut it in half and rub the inside over the sunburn. helps soothe the skin.
vinegar mixed with cold water
Natural aloe vera, right off the plant. I feel your pain, I have a nasty burn on my back right now.
Aloe Vera works great!
Sourcream, or natural yogurt. Just rub it on.
go on this web site www. civantskincare.com and buy there product it works i just order myself some
vinegar.its smells really bad, but it does lessen the sting some. Otherwise, my advice would be to go to the store and get some type of allow gel with lidocaine in it (or any type of "caine" meds in it actually)...that will take away a little bit of the pain involved...hope this helps. Also...do NOT take really hot showers. The heat will only draw moisture out of your skin and cause it to feel tighter and thus more uncomfortable.
This may sound goofy but use some Vineger..yes the cooking viniger used in salads,pickles...it dosnt smell the best but works WAY good..give it a try..good luck
Here is a recipe from my Practical Problem Sover bookSunburn SootherTakes the bite out of a mild burn4 tea bags
2 cups of fresh mint leaves or 1 cup of dried mint
4 cups of waterPlace all the ingreadients in a medium - sized saucepan %26 bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low %26 simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat %26 let steep 15 minutes. To use, strain the liquid into a jar, discarding the tea %26 the mint, and let cool. Dab the mixture on sunburned areas with cotton balls or a washcloth. Or pour the liquid into a warm bath water; then remove the tea from the bags and tie it, along with the mint, in a piece of cheesecloth and drop into the bath. Soak in the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat as necessary.Caution: For a second or third degree burn, consult your doctor.I am hoping that you will be able to get rid of your sunburn.
Aloe, Chamomile, Comfrey, Echinacea, Gotu Kola, Marsh mallow, Passionflower, St. John's Wort, Yarrow Apply to the affected area DO NOT INGEST without the supervision of licensed healthcare practictioner.
Also flush burns with cold water before applying the herbs.
take either real aloe vera or aloe vera gel without all the junk in it and sooth it on, rinse after 10 min and do it till the burn has stopped..it works wonders...most people just put aloe on and says it doesnt work but you have to rinse and repeat for it to let the heat out...hope it helps
lay in the bathtub with vinagar and it will pull the burn and sting out . it will sting but it works and will help more than you know.
