What is the Chinese herb Xiao Yao Wan used for?

2009-10-13T22:49:00.001-07:00

Answer:
It is used to sooth the liver, strengthening the spleen, and nourishes the blood to restore normal menstruation.

Just for clarification, Xiao Yao Wan is a multi-herb formula, not a single herb. As to the formula functions, the first respondent listed them dead-bang on. I would also suggest seeing an acupuncturists, or TCM herbalist before starting any Chinese herbal formula to insure you are taking the correct formula for your pattern diagnosis.

What is the best way to treat chronic constipation naturally?

2009-10-13T22:49:00.000-07:00

Like a good dietary program, or some products that can be used or taken daily and long run. Thanks!
Answer:
Yes pupa.parva, you correctly have noticed, if you have a health diet - you kill problem with constipation naturally. Constipation is mainly due to poor eating habits, insufficient exercise, not getting enough fiber and not drinking enough water. Yes, constipation is quite uncomfortable and most everyone knows when they have it.One way to help get things moving is to increase your intake of potassium through eating foods it naturally occurs in. You remember your grandmother telling you to eat prunes to relieve constipation, right? Well that is because prunes are high in potassium!Potassium works wonders on the walls of the colon and helps to stimulate peristaltic action which makes your bowels move. It also helps to clean out layers of mucus and dried fecal matter that have built up along the colon walls. Other foods that contain potassium include: tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, kale, sesame seeds, wheat germ, brewers yeast, pineapple and cauliflower. Also you should include eating more fiber which is found in fresh fruit (bananas, apples, papaya, grapes and oranges), fresh vegetables, whole grains and pulses. You should drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water each day or juice. And exercise.
Jason Homan

EATING PLENTY OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, DRINKING ALOT OF WATER AND EXERCISE.

try eating 2 apples a day..include more fibre in your diet; whole wheat bread, prunes, dates, coffee has been known to help as well...but don;t ever over do it (especially with commercial kind), when it comes to laxatives or your body will become dependant on them.

Constipation is most commonly caused by a diet that is low in fiber, but can also be caused by drinking too much milk (more than 12-16oz/day), not drinking enough water or waiting too long to go to the bathroom.
Moderate exercise (such as walking) is also important.

I would recommend changing your diet to include whole grains, along with fresh veggies and fruit. The roughage/fibre in the whole grains will train your colon to start getting rid of waste more efficiently.
It is going to be a little uncomfortable when you first change over, so you may want some charcoal or other meds to help relieve gas.

I have the same problem. I use aloe vera juice at night and mornings 1 desertspoon. I also have bran cereal for breakfast. plenty of fruit through the day and water is important as is exercise. I also make sure i have salads and vegetables. kiwifruit at night before you retire works wonders. good luck.

take a 1/4 cup of warm milk and put in 2 tablespoon olive oil. drink that early in morning before anything. in 3-4 days your chronic constipation will go away and stay away as long as you use that. ( its not much oil and most of that is not even absorbed0

the first answer is very good. and also look for the source of you constipation it will be good to consult to a doctor if is chronic.
since the cause is very important.

add fiber to your diet gradually. try oatmeal for breakfast, and add more fruits and veggies to your diet. what helps me most is to drink plenty of water every day -- i try for 3 liters per day. it really does help!

Fiber and water.
Also take a supplement of Magnesium.
Best to get your fiber via the food you eat. Bookstores offer books that list the calorie, protein, carbohydrate, and fiber content of most foods.
Start drinking plum juice, prune juice, unfiltered apple juice, or pure cranberry juice. Eat high fiber cereal daily.
Limit the amount of cheese and rice that you eat. Limit the amount of processed flour, processed sugar, corn starch, and gelatin that you eat

Work your way up to eight prunes a day with plenty of water, and you will not have constipation anymore. And it is cheap too. Good health does not have to be magic or expensive. Almost anyone can enjoy good health.

Try to eat food reach with Magnesium, or just have a magnesium sulphate as an additives

Eating lots of fruits and vegetables and adding Braggs apple cider vinegar 3 times a day. Eating prunes daily will help also. Oh and drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.

Less animal protein, increase fruits and vegetables, a decent brand of yogurt (doesn't have to be activia, check the label for active bacterial cultures) and white grape juice . . .but no more than a glass a day or you'll be sorry!

I eat very clean and this also happens to me! but I have found 2 products that work very well! they are both natural(ingreds) pure safe beneficial and botanically based. I use . figure 8 daily detox tea, and also their herbal colon cleanse both of these products are mild and phenonomal!

Lots of whole grains, water. Flax seeds will do the trick too. If you're feeling adventurous-try castor oil (a tablespoon every half hour for 2 hours)-just keep close to the toilet.

I had constipation all my life, but ever since I started drinking coffee because of working midnights, it totally got rid of it and now I tend to have the opposite problem. Also a high fiber diet is good for helping constipation.

Triphala is a fantastic Aruyvedic herb that helps with constipation.Begin each morning with a cup of hot water on an empty stomach. This stimulates peristalsis, the intestinal movement.Eat plenty of lightly cooked veggies for fiber. Raw veggies can upset the digestion more. Rolled oats are also helpful. Avoid milk and beans; the former contributes to constipation and the latter is a difficult fiber to digest and makes it worse. Basically, you want to consume soluble fiber--veggies, grains; and avoid insoluble fiber (beans, raw leafy veggies, bran, skins of fruit). Re-introduce insoluble fiber once your digestive tract is happy again, and see how it goes.

Try prunes. Also drink alot of water and try raisins,figs,apples, and berries.

The same way a mathematician does...with a pencil.

Eat organic high fiber and raw fruits and vegetables. I drink a large amount of water within 1 hour (about 11/2-2 litres and eat sunseet prunes. It takes care of it within 2-4 hours. Although the prunes are gassy its still a excellant remedy.

Forget about special products and pills. First, just increase your fiber intake by eating lots of wholesome fresh foods and cereals. If you get your fiber intake to 25gms a day for a month, you'll most surely see your problem disappear... you'll lose weight and feel great. If that doesn't work, then see a doc, as something serious may be amiss.

I have just started chapter 16 of Doctor Colbert, MD: "The Seven Pillars of Health". He has many best seller books available. Many of your local department stores have his book for sale.
Wal-Mart has it. The whole 1st section is on water and it's benefits to our lives and diet.
I recommend his book to learn about your health and diet. Knowledge is power - get powerful; read.

Of course, eating more fiber is great. But if you want a really good, natural constipation remedy, try psyllium husks is capsule form. They help add moisture to your stool and become easier to pass. Check out http://www.realhomeremedies.com... and click on the constipation link on the left for more info.

The constipation had happened due to the improper digestion. So please go to the root cause and try to correct it. Here are some tips which will modify your digestion. Please ensure your breakfast at right time- between 7am and 9am. Don't take any snacks, fried items, soft drinks in between main foods. Take lunch between 12.30- 2.00. Can you have a tea at 4 o' clock. Please finish the supper before 8.30. Go to bed at 10. If you took a heavy food at any of these schedule, please wait to get an hungry feeling before next food. Please drink lot of boiled water in between food. Go to the toilets at right time.
Drugs- Triphala is a good ayurvedic drug. You can try some patented drugs like Anuloma DS two at bedtime, Cap Herbolax 2-0-2, Tab Avipathikar 2-0-2, Cap Balasudha 0-0-1, Hridyavirechana leha one teaspoon at bedtime.
Remember there is a fire burning inside your stomach and that one is one and the only lord of our health. So please ensure it is always lighted. If more fire woods are put , it will turn off. Then we should carefully light it like lighting a lamp in storm. Take small light foods in intervals and try to improve your digestion. When ever you are not getting good appetite, take some fruit juice and finish eating. Wait for the call from stomach for another food. Till then, don't give any more stuff to the poor stomach. Remember, the light inside the stomach is our lord. According to ayurveda, it is our life.

any symptoms that become chronic are typically due to some underlying problem. it's important to treat constipation with good diet and fibre intake but you should also consider looking into what is causing it in the first place. In Chinese Medicine this is typically due to some kind of heat disorder and may be accompanied by redness in the face, drt mouth, throat, thirst, dark urine or possibly nausea and vomiting. an acupuncturist may help relieve symptoms in the long term, encourage bowel movement, there are also some good chinese herbs that he/she could give you.

Increase water intake and Prune Juice.

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc鈥? Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc鈥?YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!

What is the best way to stop smoking and tobacco in general?

2009-10-13T22:48:00.003-07:00

I have a dual dependency. I started chewing tobacco when I was14 cause all my friends did it, and smoking I started at 28 off and on. Now I feel its out of control at 35. Give me the low down on quit tobacco programs please if you have experience with them.
Answer:
I totally agree with Nurse 22. Chantix. It's amazing. When you start smoking, the cells in your body are altered. Chantix changes your cells back to the way they were before you ever began tobacco use. I was really sceptical until I tried it. I was a HEAVY smoker - all of a sudden, I would realize I had gone 10 hours without smoking and not even missed it. Talk to your doctor about this - it's by prescription only. But the success rate with it is higher than anything else out there by far!! Good luck to you and you're making a GREAT choice!!

Call the Quitline and join a Quit Smoking Clinic.A Yahoo search for "Quit Smoking Clinics" will tell you much more. A search for Quitline might also help.

Chantix! I work in a pharmacy and everyone that has completed the medication therapy along with counseling program they offer has been successful! You must complete the full three months with chantix that includes the starting pack and two continueing packs for it to be 100% effective anyone that has only done the starter pack (one month) ends up going back to smoking

Switch to nicotine gum to get off the chewing tobacco. Or go on the nicotine patch and chew your favourite flavour of gum. Or suck on a good lollipop or candy.I found the patch helped me immensely. The trick is to keep your hands busy as well. Get some worry beads to fiddle with in your hands. Or one of those soft squeegie forms to press with your fingers and palms. When you get the urge to have smoke, make yourself wait five minutes, and do something else. The urge should pass. If you are still finding the urge to be unbearable, see a doctor. You may need some medicine in the form of pills, that will help control the urges your brain is fighting. Remember that the nicotine habit is just as hard, if not harder to beat, as cocaine. You may find it takes more than one try to quit.Good luck.

Sorry, have no answer to this. But you should check out the added detail to my question that you answered, and maybe check out my other questions periodically. I'll have another that may interest you in about five minutes.

What is the best way to quit smoking?

2009-10-13T22:48:00.002-07:00

I have tried cold turkey but that didn't work is there any suggestions?
Answer:
Congrats on trying to quit. That's great!
First, I think, you have to tell us how long you have smoked, how old you are, how much you smoke and your sex. Yeah, that matters too.
Without knowing all of those things, I think the best way is for you to find out how it feels like when you quit. Do that by quitting. Go as long as you can. When you absolutely can't stand it any longer, force yourself to hold off. When you are about to die, make note of how you feel. Make note of what is forcing you to want a smoke. It will be unique to you alone.
Once you know that, the next time you try to quit you will be ready for it. Then try again, and again, and again. All of a sudden you will get it.
It took me 4 months of failure before I got it right. It was the most horrifying thing I ever did. I must have failed 100 times, but each time I learned more about the feelings, the emotions I would have and the "ugly" I would feel and I would try to figure out how to address it. Some time I got it right and sometimes I didn't.
I smoked heavily for over 30 years and I've been off the cancer sticks for 3 years now. I pray you have not smoked for so long, but even so, I'm no better than you, and I did it.
You can too! Go for it.NEVER STOP TRYING!!!!

hot turkey.

I DONT KNOW ..WHEN I QIUT ..I WILL LET YOU KNOW

well for me it was cold turkey that worked .but my husband used the patch and it worked real good for him it eases the nicotin withdrawl

Stay away from them. Throw away all of your cigarettes.
Don't buy more. Take pills to stop. It has already damaged you though. You can't really change the past.

cold turkey!!

I dont know either rhoda... If you ever find the answer to HOW TO QUIT SMOKING... Get it patended, You'll be a Billionaire!$$$ that nicotine is something. one person at my work quit by hypmotism.. I quit for 8 months once, %26 started again. I used the patch then. I guess you JUST CANT HAVE ONE. SAY NO.

Try to keep yourself less-stressed because some people tend to light up whenever they are.Avoid other smokers because its easy for you to reach their box and light up.Have a supportive non-smoker to support and keep you off lighting up. Make sure its someone you'd spend the effort to really listen to - rather than someone you're not.Know the scientific and solid facts about smoking: knowing that you will get lung/throat cancer, heart failure, promote your own liver failure, rotting skin (especially around your toes and feet), cataracs (eye disease), terrible breath, killing loved ones near you slowly (actually killing them faster than you kill yourself) with your smoke [in other words: secondhand-smoke] - its a matter of whether you really care to quit or not.Last but not least... learn how to quit from the heart, if you love yourself enough to live longer you will know that every cigarette you dont light up will increase your chances to live longer... before you practically end it abruptly yourself.

DO NOT quit cold turkey. It is like a dieter cutting out all junk foods - you will binge. On cigarettes.Here are some tips.1. Chew sugarfree gum. It keeps your breath smelling good and you can buy it at the dollar store. Mint candies are good too. My dad tried eating candy when he stopped smoking and he put on some weight...try low cal alternatives2. Stay active. Walk, swim, dance, just do something to get your mind of that nicotine.3. Find the reason that drives you to smoke and find an alternative for it. Stress? Take a long hot soak in the tub or something. Bored? Uh, find something to do. 4. Find hobbies that keep your hands busy, like knitting or drawing, read books, etc.5. Keep tobacco related products out of your house. If someone else lives with you and won't keep their sh*t out of sight, make them stash it.6. Think about all the time it wastes. Let's say hypothetically you smoke five cigarettes a day and take about five minutes for each one. That is twenty five minutes gone every day, almost 3 hours gone in a week, half a day every month, about six DAYS every year. Seriously, that is a lot of time vanished from your life, not even counting the time you may have shortened your life expectancy.7. Volunteer somewhere. It will take your mind off your problem. For example if you help out at a food bank it will suddenly seem more trivial stressing about cigarettes when people are hungry out there and worried about where their next meal comes from.8. Keep a journal. Keep track of your smoking habits. It may help you find out what sets them off. Sometimes writing about it helps you forget about it. Write down how many cigarettes, if any, you had that day, or what you did to avoid smoking.9. Whenever you feel like buying cigarettes, take the same amount of money you would spent and put it in a jar or the bank or something. Once the money adds up to a nice large amount, a pack of cigarettes doesn't seem quite so appealing. It is also a bit like bribing yourself. :)10. Maybe you can donate some of that money you waste on cigarettes to organizations helping people dying of lung cancer, which is the boat YOU may be in if you keep this up.

For me quitting cold turkey works, I quit almost a year ago and haven't pick one up since. But in the past I've tried to quit many times.and always failed. You know how you say "oh I'll quit after this pack" ..does not work. So you have to reallly want to quit. Think about all the benefits you will gain from quitting write them down. Tell yourself everday what poisons your putting in your body and that it does not deserve it. Keep a strong mind and quit when you are truly up for it.

do scare ta-tic work on you?there's a lot of different meds to help,but i don't like the idea of taking meds to stop smoking?most hospitals have smoking sensation classes for free,try quit assist on-line or Phillip Morris.com, ask your doctor?hypnotist worked on my mother, shes been a non smoker for 30 years now, but you must really want to quit for it to work,for me i had an aneurysm and dadurning surgery had a stroke because i smoked, it was enough to scare me, doctor said if i smoked or was around a lot of second hand smoke I'd die, now i cant even stand to be around someone who smokes, they smell so bad, there clothes, house and car all smell.smoking can cause you to age earlier and faster , your teeth-usually get nasty, and to kiss, how gross!!!my aunt lost her leg because of smoking. I've had friends get copd and lung cancer, go to the hospital check out all the patients who are there because of smoking.and think of all that money you could still have if you quit, i know its not easy, i waited way to late to quit, but i tried, and that's what you must continue to do, keep trying, never give up trying,i wish you the best of luck, so never give up!!!!!!!!!

you have to want to befor you can .i mean really want to and they say cold turkey is the best of corse i dont want so i couldnt do it

What is the best way to quit smoking?

2009-10-13T22:48:00.001-07:00

I have smoked for 14 years and its not helping me but hurting me for the worse
Answer:
Visit a "quit smoking" clinic if such places exist.

Forget the 'I don't want to smoke' and replace it with a 'I want to be healthy' attitude. This will cause you to want to make lifestyle changes in all areas of your life.Your addiction is psychological and physiological. Guilt seems to work in a circular fashion- drawing you back to the activities you want to avoid and each time you try and 'fail' you push yourself even further into the smoking corner, making it harder to give up!Fill your life with positive activities such as running, and swimming. As you cut down on your smoking you'll actually FEEL the physical health benefits of giving up smoking.

I successfully used the Nicoderm CQ method. I smoked 2 1/2 pax for years. I've now been smoke free since 1998. They are very good at cutting the cravings while weaning your body off the nicotene.

cold turkey. Do it at a time when you are not likely to have a lot of stresses from work, moving house, etc.

commit cherry lozenges read package instructions!

Make up your mind to quit and do it. No one can do it for you. You will be improving your health by stopping that dirty stinky habit. How'd I do?

cold turkey, smoked for 12 years, quit just like that. just sucked getting drunk makes you want a cig bad.

Cold turkey is the only way. If you try and step down your amounts, you will have a bad day or moment and say "what the hell!"
You have to not only want to quit but almost hate the habit with a passion.
I did it cold turkey myself been off of it for 5 years.

There are many ways to quit but the best way is to just quit. In 3 days all the nicotine will be out of your body but you will still struggle with the addiction of the hand-to-mouth habit. Don't replace it with food. What I did was take a drinking straw (just a plain white one the same size as the McDonald's one), cut it the length of a cigarette, stuffed it with a cotton ball and left it in a clean ashtray by the phone. One was in my car, on my deck, and in my purse. Whenever you really crave one, you simply "smoke" it. I used this crutch for about 2 months and then gradually tapered off. Remember you are like an alcoholic with cigarettes, you can't even have just one. You will find that the longer you go without them, the less you will miss them. You might also change your habits...don't go to a bar, don't play cards with friends, don't go on break with smoking friends, etc. You need to break the habit as well as the addiction. Good luck. It works.

This may sound crazy but you did not take any pills are wear any patches to start smoking so the best way to quit is the same way you started just quit. Go cold turkey!

Get your doctor to prescribe Chantix. It is like the magic pill. I have been taking it for three months now. I have tried to quit in the past with other methods only to fail. Chantix takes away almost all of your withdrawal symptoms. The only withdrawal symptom that you really have to deal with is your mind and that even diminishes easier than you think it will, due to the fact that your body is not going through nicotine withdrawls your mind doesn't keep saying "smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke". Really, try it you will be surprised. The first week you take it you are to continue to smoke. Even during that first week when you are only taking half the dosage your urge to smoke drastically decreases. Good Luck

What is the best way to improve your immune system?

2009-10-13T22:48:00.000-07:00

What should a person eat regularly to improve their immune system?
No powders or potions please!
Answer:
Echinacea helps boost the immune system by close to 50% along with tomatoes which are high in antioxidants but both are pretty much useless when cooked as it boils away there effectiveness as with any herb or vegitable there are many out there yes garlic is a good one also go down to a book store and buy a book on herbs and roots lots of info one i have is encyclopedia of herbs i found at barns and noble

Garlic (not fully boiled) will help a lot. 5 to 10 Neem leaves (fresh) taken in empty stomach in the morning help also.

No single solution, but in general eating plenty of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables should help you.

Sources of anti-oxidants reduce the level of free radicals in your system. This is proven science. Free radicals are active chemicals which cause damage to your body and health. Sources of anti-oxidants are best natural since artificial and concentrated forms can be just as harmful as free radicals. Fruit and vegetables are the best sources along with tea (the drink).
Many claims are made about immune system boosters and some are more valid than others, try some different things, many claims are totally unproven and there is even treatments which recommend exposure to substances which attact the immune system to prevoke a response and thus strengthen it, most notably naturopathy, which has been discredited because concentrations of the stimulants are too low to be effective.

I would say antioxidants too. They help to slow down the aging of cells. They help to prevent cancer and repair damaged cells. Doing all these will improve immune system. Antioxidants can be found in a rich variety of foods such as apples, broccoli, grape seed, etc.

What is the best way to heal operated wound aside from fish & hard boiled egg?

2009-10-13T22:47:00.002-07:00

my friend got operated in the stomach 4 times. the doctors kept the wound(4-5 inches)open %26 allows to heal. she is a strict vegetarian %26 wanted to know of vegetables that will help in fast healing of the wound.
Answer:
In Homeopathy CALENDULA(Marie-gold) is known to heal and cure deep gashes and wounds and surgical incisions like magic. It is available in ointment form or you can buy it in Q(Mother Tincture) potency and mix it in any unscented non medicated moisturizer and apply it to the wound and it cures without leaving a visible scar. Totally amazing results. To read more about this gem of a remedy please click the link :- http://homeoint.org/books/boericmm/c/cal...Take Care and God Bless.

soy beans have the most protien in them.

By chance is your name Borat?

Just make sure she eats well, and keeps healthy. There is no magic food that will help her heal quick. It's important that she is careful with how much she eats obviously because her wound is sensitive to stomach expansion (depending on the location of the wound).

In practice, we find that many vegetarians are deficient in complete proteins and minerals.Is she vegan? She won't be getting colagen from eggs then, or complete protein from milk products.Assuming she is in fact vegan, it's best to really be diligent about food combining and get that complete protein, and possibly look into a liquid mineral supplement, because even if she's eating all organically grown, there are only a few farms in the US that have properly restored their minerals to the overfarmed lands they got for cheap.Good Luck... :)

Broccoli, spinach, turnip greens as far as builidng bodily recuperative and functional abilities. Assume your friend is on "drainage" mode and cannot apply cocoa butter or other topicals to the area to promote healing as the wound is still open. You mentioned fish and eggs which translates she is a moderate rather than a strict vegetarian which would exclude dairy products altogether. In such a case, yogurt, cottage cheese and body building "elixers" such as "blender magic"
could be incorporated. Used to give my mom (Pancreatic cancer) the following: 1 egg, 1 banana, 1 yogurt (8 oz) 4 oz apricot or peach nectar as often as she would drink it. You can delete the egg if your friend is hard core vegan or lie about it in her best interest as eggs are protein or you can up her protein with cheese, peanut butter, beans, your choice here.

Vegetarian patients with wounds will need to have their menus revised to incorporate a variety of nuts, grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and beverages. Snacks, such as nuts or a whey protein nutrition bar, add to the daily protein content of a diet.Vegetarian diets may also be low in vitamin D, calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and zinc.1 Therefore, a multivitamin supplement may be needed to ensure that 100% of the daily requirements are met and that deficiencies are avoided.

I heard Reiki is good as an extra source of energy especially before and after surgery. Good luck!

WhAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET SCAR TISSUE OUT YOU FEMALE ORGINS i USE TO HAVE PID?

What is the best way to get rid of a bladder infection besides cranberry juice?please help!!?

2009-10-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

Answer:
Blueberries provide the same anti-infection protection as their cousins cranberries.which also seems to prevent them.
eat mushrooms daily because they boost the ability of your immune system to combat infections.
taking vitamin c helps acidify the urine, which prevents bacteria from clinging to the bladder and causingUTC.it has a powerful antioxidant to help fight infection, take 1000milligrams of c along with electrolytes such as potassium.
eat some garlics too (antibiotics) and make sure to drink plenty of water, and reduce you sugar intake.

drink a lot of water too

well... u could c your doctor and he could give u some antibiotics..

Antibiotics.

See a Doctor

The absolute best product is called D-Mannose. it is a supplement available online or at the Vitamin store or whole foods. it works really fast and is about 10 times stronger than cranberry pills. Solaray makes a good one for 21 dollars.

Cranberry juice will only change the PH of your urine, Making it harder for bacteria to grow, but it wont kill bacteria. You need to see a Doctor for a urinalysis and antibiotics.

If you have symptoms (painful urination, dark urine), then you need to start drinking a TON of water. I mean at least 2-3 quarts a day. Just have a water bottle in your hand at all times and keep sipping until your urine starts running clear. It's going to take awhile. Cranberry juice has cleansing properties for your urinary tract, but it doesn't replace water. If you actually have an infection though, you will need to be treated with an antibiotic to get rid of the bacteria, or it will only get worse. And it can get worse in a hurry. Something as simple as Amoxicillin will do the trick, or maybe Macrobid, which is meant for UTI's. Make sure you FINISH the medicaton; those UTI's can return in a New York minute. Good luck.

antibiotics, they will turn your urine orange for about 2 weeks but it's completely normal

Take 1 ounce of uva ursi from the health food store and soak in a half gallon of cool water overnight; this is called a maceration. If you make a hot tea, you will have a very high tanic acid amount that could give you a stomach ache.Uva Ursi is not an antibiotic for other parts of the body, just the urinary tract. When it passes through the Kidneys, it turns to phenolic acid; very powerful! Drink 1/2 cup of the strained tea every few hours for 5-7 days, even if symptoms abate.Continue with the cranberry juice, as molecules from the juice attach to receptor sites along the urinary tract and block the bacterias ability to attach itself the the walls of the urinary tract. Good Luck!

Sometimes you do need antibiotics. They do have their uses. Just don't forget to take acidophilus or Ultraflora to replace your good bacteria after taking the antibiotics.

Bladder infections are generally caused by the bacterium e.coli. Cranberry does not cure an infection, rather it may prevent one. There are several natural products that may help, but it depends on how long you have had the bladder problem. Oregano Oil capsules, Neem capsules or Grapefruit seed extract capsules may kill the bacteria. However it you have waited too long you will need to go to your MD and take an antibiotic. If you have these often, then taking a good quality cranberry extract capsule will help to prevent a recurrence.

Asparagus is very helpful in relieving the discomfort - even canned asparagus. Heat a small can, eat, and then drink the juice. This really helps a lot. If it's a true infection, you will probably need antibiotics . Once you're healed, though, add asparagus to your diet more often, increase your water intake and take Cranactin (liquid) for maintenance.

What is the best way to flush your system of thc by over the counter methods?

2009-10-13T22:46:00.003-07:00

Answer:
magnesium citrate oral solution saline laxative =]
you'll bee poopin all day ahah

take a powerful laxative and a ultivitamin + lots of water to replace lost fluid.
The body will be depleted of minerals and vitamins so the vit tablets will replace this. The laxative will dehydrate your body so the water will clean you and rehydrate you.
If youve been smokin it for years then its in your fat cells and i suggest that you do this then totally lower your metabolism by doing very little so your fat cells are not being utilised, which will keep them shut and not releasing thc from them.
You might put on weight if you do that though.

What is the best way to ease depression with out pills?

2009-10-13T22:46:00.002-07:00

I've been depressed over some time now and I want to move on in life without the butden of stress and depress
Answer:
You should see my doctor. He is amazing! He will help with almost any problem you have.www.bmtheals.com check out the website and see what you think.

Exercise helps reduce symptoms of depression and a healthy diet couldn't hurt! Spend time with family and friends that you feel better around and (if at all possible) avoid those who are negative. If you are currently under the advisement of a doctor and are taking prescribed medicine...PLEASE consult your doctor before discontinuing any meds!

I, myself suffer from severe depression. I do not takes pills unless it gets really bad, like time to be put in the hospital. Best thing to do is stay away from people that have negative thoughts and talk negative all the time. Find some one to talk to about your problems. Some one that you can trust that will not go behind your back and talk to others about what you have told them. If you have to find a stranger that will listen to you. Depression is very hard to deal with. I try to keep to my self most of the time, when it is possible, but that is not really a good ideal to do that. Depression is a very serious thing.

Depression is a serious illness and requires the proper care.
You can go the medical route which would include counseling and medication. The 2 seem to both have good outcomes.
You can also try some over the counter supplements that may help as long as you are monitored by a medical doctor and counselor.
Some supplements cannot be taken with antidepressants and you should ask your pharmacist before taking them.1. 5 hydroxytryptophan take 200 mg at bedtime
2. B complex vitamin daily on a full stomach
3. Threonine 40-50 mg/day
4. Serine 20mg/day
5. Selenium 20-30 mcg/dayYou can also have a lab test you and see why exactly your "brain chemistry" is or may be unbalanced and they can develop a product to help re balance you.
The lab is called Sanesco. www.sanesco.net
Good Luck

I had a second bout of depression this past Jaunary and I was on an herbal antiderpressant (no side effects!!) for 2 months...The depression VANISHED once I started eating raw. Fruits and veggies...and taking supplements to build my immune system.I agree with other poster.EXERCISE!! All the studies show it increases the happy endorphins in your brain!

Two vitamins I would recommend to you is
B-Complex and Stress Relief Complex

Depression is a nasty creature, it is very quiet and creeps up on you before you know it. Some of the other suggestions were very good, exercise, good dietary habits etc. However, depression is actually mostly a state of mind, in most cases it is because a person feels powerless to resolve the problems in their lives. When you have the answers to your problems you usually feel empowered. It also can be brought about because of hormonal imbalances. One remedy that might be helpful is Bach Flower Remedies which is generally used for emotional problems. Flower essences have been exceptionally effective for a wide range of emotional/spiritual imbalances. You should find a nice amount of information online about flower essences and they can be purchased in health food stores or on line. Peace.

I suffer from chronic diabetes for 5 years and for the last 3 years I have been using green clay and green tea. They work great for me. Check these sites:
http://biorganic.ifrance.com/biorganic/c...
http://vitaminhouses.com/guia/ingles/nut...

Go to health food store %26 buy a mineral called "Chromium Picolinate". It helps dramatically lower blood glucose.

You have to wear a special type of sock. Stay away from sugary foods. There is a certain sugar I'm sure you heard of Splenda. Then you would have to make sure you eat on time so if you have a steady job its good to tell your Manager/supervisor that you have to go at a certain time.
They have a special kit that you could now use so that you don't have to keep giving yourself those shots.

Raw food diet. NO COOKED FOODS. Will eliminate any symptom of diabeties.

If we offered you a miracle remedy that cures "sore throat" would you buy it? Certainly you would. You won鈥檛 find it in a Pharmacy but at the Grocery Store.Try 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.

Warm drinks only soothe a sore throat.
What I do is suck on a zinc tablet, you don't have to keep it in your mouth till it is gone, I do it till it makes my tummy queasy and then spit it out.
It heals throat tissue on contact.
It has never failed for me, except for one bad case of strep throat.

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...

Lemon %26 Ginger Tea works well for me

My husband swears by vin brule (hot red wine with cinnamon and cloves). We also often do hot milk or tea with honey -- but these are really only temporary remedies that make your throat feel better for a short period of time. They don't really improve the condition behind a sore throat.Our family takes an immune booster called Immune Alert that we love. We take one every day and have noticed that we rarely get sick and when we do the symptoms are mild and we get better faster. It's a natural product, not a medicine, made from a baker's yeast extract -- and there is a lot of science that shows that it works. Much easier to prevent an illness than to cure after the fact! (If you start taking once you are already sick you can double up the dose and you should feel better faster.)

1 Tablespoon of Honey
Juice of 1 lemon
Grated Quarter of an inch Ginger
200ml Boiling waterPut all ingredients in a jug, then add the water. Stir and allow to inmfuse and cool to a drinkable temperature. Pour through a tea strainer into a glass and drink.

What is the best thing to use to get rid of migranes?

2009-10-13T22:45:00.002-07:00

Answer:
Nothing seemed to help mine much after they were full blown. I didn't find much help with any of the meds they gave me other than the one time I got a shot of narcotics. They were getting ready to put me on daily preventitive meds but I could tell stressful days set me off so I would take 2 extra strength tylenol or something OTC w/ breakfast to hope it would prevent and I have been preventing most of them since. When I start seeing spots if I immediately take something OTC it helped but if it got full blown it didn't.

yoga and botox

2 Excedrin's

Tylenol usually, but see your doc and find out if something else is wrong okay.

i don't get them but my mom using a pill called imitrex
go to migranehelp.com
for more information

Excedrin Migraine works pretty well if you don't have a prescription. The mixture of acetaminophen and caffeine work really well and really fast. I usually take this when I can feel a headache coming on. I also use a heating pad or take a hot shower and let the water beat on my face. I haven't had any luck with regular over the counter pain killers such as aleve or tylenol

the natural way is to use the pressure points on your hand. squeeze between your thumb and your pointer and the headache will subside.. you can also use chocolate the caffeine in the chocolate helps.

As weird as it may sound, I find that whenever I get a headache, it's due to low blood sugar or something like that. What I usually do is I just drink a soda or eat ice cream or something, then I start to feel better. A nap helps too.
That works for my mild headaches. However, an actual migraine is usually caused by an actual disease or injury. If you experience migraines often, I would suggest going to a doctor.

Ice pack. My husband suffers from migraines and that is what he uses. You need to find out what is causing those
migraines. My husband had a tumor growing on his pituitary gland. Lucky for us it wasn't malignant. That was causing most of his migraines.

Limit Your caffeine intake and drink lots of water.

There is a medicinal herb called Feverfew that has relieved the migranes of many people. You can grow it in your garden or in a pot. From http://www.holistichealthtools.com/heada...Feverfew: Hope for Fewer and Milder MigrainesIn the past 20 years, the leaves of feverfew, a short bushy member of the daisy family, have been used to prevent migraine headaches as well as fevers.Feverfew was mentioned in Greek medical literature as a remedy for inflammation and swelling, as well as menstrual discomfort. The name "feverfew" is derived from the Latin for "chase away fevers." Beginning in the 16th century, it was used by British herbalists for the treatment of fevers and rheumatic aches and pains. During the next few hundred years, the herb fell into disuse among herbalists. In the last two decades, however, use of the leaves to prevent migraine headache has led feverfew back to popularity with herbalists and healthcare practitioners who use phytotherapy.Because of the popularity of feverfew in Great Britain and increased medical research, the active component of feverfew is now well understood. Feverfew was found to contain a range of compounds known as sequiterpene lactones (STL). The most important STL in feverfew is parthenolide. First isolated in 1960, parthenolide comprises up to 85% of the STL content in feverfew.Proper concentration of parthenolide in feverfew extracts is critical for the effective treatment and prevention of migraines. A critical consideration in commercial feverfew products has been consistency in parthenolide content. Standardized feverfew extracts, developed in the last few years, are manufactured to insure a minimum parthenolide content of at least .2%. Consumers buying feverfew products should seek those with a guaranteed parthenolide content.How Does Feverfew Work?Even though a lack of consensus remains about the exact cause of migraine headaches, recent medical research and drug development have focused on the role of platelets and the release of substances they contain. Platelets, which are a normal part of the blood and involved in clotting, appear to behave abnormally in migraine sufferers.Platelets appear to over-aggregate prior to a migraine and then release a substance known as serotonin. Serotonin, in turn, causes abnormal blood vessel tone (primarily dilation) noted during a migraine attack. Inflammatory substances are also released locally during a migraine and probably contribute to the severity of an attack.Feverfew, and specifically parthenolide, act to inhibit over-aggregating. More importantly, is their blockage of serotonin from platelets as well as the production of inflammatory substances. The cumulative result is a normalization of blood vessel tone and a reduction in the severity and frequency of migraine headaches.Use of Feverfew for MigrainesMedical interest in feverfew arose in Great Britain after the publication of a story in Prevention Magazine in 1978 that related the success a certain Mrs. Jenkins had in using feverfew for her migraines. After suffering with migraines for over 50 years, Mrs. Jenkins found relief after consuming feverfew leaves for ten months.The first clinical study examining the effect of feverfew on migraines begin with migraine patients who had been using feverfew for several years prior to the study. Seventeen patients were enrolled and divided into one of two treatment groups: feverfew (50 mg per day) or placebo (an inactive substance). The eight patients staying on feverfew experienced continued successful management of migraines over a six-month period. The nine patients that were switched over to the placebo had an almost three-fold increase in migraine attacks over the same period of time.For the long-term treatment or prevention of migraines, individuals should use feverfew continuously for several months to as long as two to three years. Clinical experience has indicated that four to six weeks of treatment with feverfew is usually required before results are noted.Feverfew is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation or for children under the age of two years. Persons on drug therapy for migraines should consult their healthcare practitioner before using feverfew.

Awesome homeopathic remedy...called Migra Spray.Took away a vicious headache I had in 90 seconds. I dont go anywhere without it.

Warning Biased Opinion
Acupuncture can be great for migraines and any good acupuncturist will give you some handy tricks to get rid of them on your own. If you have been getting them for some time it is usually a warning sign that something else is wrong with the body and your acupuncturist can often use the exact location or source of the pain, as well as what time of day they generally occur to diagnose the problem and hopefully get rid of it for good. You should start paying attention to what particularly aggrevates the headaches (emotions, light, particular smells/tastes etc), as well as occurence patterns (time of day/night) and where the pain seems worst and mention these to the acupuncturist before treatment.

well as a CPhT i have heard of a new(still in testing) that the drug imitrex and naproxen sodium will be combined to make an expensive treatment...dont know the harm of taking the two together.good luck I have bad headaches myself

I suffer from migraines also. I haven't had a really bad migraine in a while since I have been taking Vitamin b. I usually get the bottle that says vitamin b-50. But on the rare occasion I do get one the best thing you can do is lie in a dark room with no sound and get a sandwich bag of ice and put it on your forehead. I know it sounds weird but it really works. You get headaches when the blood vessels in your head expand and the blood rushes through too quickly therefore you get the pounding in your head. The ice shrinks the blood vessels and slows down the flow of blood. Try it and let me know how it works for you.

Migraine Headaches can be defined as a paroxysmal ailment, accompanied by a severe headache, generally on one side of the head, and associated with disorders of the digestion, the liver, and the vision. It usually occurs when a person is under great mental tension or has suddenly got over that state. Persons who suffer from migraine headaches have a particular type of personality. They are intelligent, sensitive, rigid, and methodical, and tend to be perfectionists. A migraine headache comes on suddenly. The head and neck muscles, reacting from continuous stress, become overworked. The tight muscles squeeze the arteries and reduce the blood flow. Then, when the person relaxes suddenly, the constricted muscles expand, stretching the blood vessel walls. With each heart beat, the blood pushes through these vessels and expands them further, causing intense pain.Pain on one side of the head
There is a definite pattern of a migraine headache. The pain is on only one side of the head and often radiates from the eye. The right side of the head may be affected in one attack and the next time, the concentration of pain may be on the left side.
A short period of depression, irritability and loss of appetite
Migraines are usually preceded by a short period of depression, irritability and loss of appetite. Some persons get migraine attacks daily; others, every month or every two or three months; and still others, only or twice in several years.Pounding pain, nausea, and vomiting
The main symptoms of migraines are a pounding pain, nausea, and vomiting. The blood vessels on the affected side of the head become prominent and pulsating.
Numbness or weakness in an arm or leg, or on one side of the faceMigraines gives a fair warning before striking. The patient sees flashes of light or black spots or only parts of the objects in front of him. He may also feel numbness or weakness in an arm or leg, or on one side of the face. Sometimes the numbness may affect both sides of the face tongue and the entire mouth, making the speech slurred and difficult. As the headache develops, disturbed digestion becomes a marked feature.Migraine relief using Grapes
Migraine relief can be obtained from the juice of ripe grapes and is an effective home remedy. It is said that King Jamshed of Persia, who was very fond of grapes, once stored the juice of grapes well packed in bottles and made it public that the bottles contained strong poison so as to prevent others from taking it. It so happened that the king%26#92;'s wife was struck with migraine and having obtained no relief from any treatment, decided to end her life by taking this so-called 鈥榩oison鈥? She took it several times in small doses and contrary to her expectations, it gave her great relief instead of killing her.Migraine relief using Niacin
Niacin has proved helpful in relieving migraine pain. Valuable sources of this vitamin are yeast, whole wheat, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, nuts, sunflower seeds, liver, and fish. Vitamin I complex tablets containing 100 mg of niacin can be taken for the same purpose.Relieving Migraine using Cabbage Leaf Compress
An ancient folk remedy for relieving the pain of migraine is a cabbage leaf compress. A few leaves of the vegetable should be crushed, and then placed in a cloth and bound on the forehead at bedtime, or when convenient during the day. The Compress should be renewed when the leaves dry out.Migraine treatment using Lemon Crust
The crusts of lemon have also been found beneficial in the treatment of migraine. These crusts should be included into a fine paste in a mortar. The paste should be applied, it plaster on the forehead. It will provide great relief.Natural Migraine headache treatment using Vegetable Juices
Carrot juice, in combination with spinach like, or beet and cucumber juices, has been found beneficial in the treatment of migraine. In the first combination, 200 ml of spinach juice may be mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice to prepare 500 ml or half a litre of the combined juices. In the second combination, 100 ml each of beet and cucumber juices may be mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice.Migraine relief diet
Fasting on orange juice and water
It is essential to undertake a thorough cleansing of the system and adopt vitality-building measures. To begin with, the patient should resort to fasting on orange juice and water for two or three days. If the orange juice does not agree with the patient, juices of vegetables such as carrots, cucumber, and celery may be taken.
Avoid foods like white flour products, sugar, tinned or preserved foods, etc
Foods which should be avoided are white flour products, sugar, confectionery, rich cakes, pastries, sweets, refined cereals, greasy foods, tinned or preserved foods, pickles, condiments, and sauces.All-fruit diet
After the short juice fast, the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for about five days, taking three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits.Well-balanced diet of seeds, nuts etc.
Thereafter the patient should follow a well-balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits. This diet should be supplemented with milk, yoghurt, buttermilk, vegetable oils, and honey. Further short periods of the all-fruit diet may be necessary at intervals of a month or two, according to the requirement of the case.Eat frequent small meals, Copious drinking of water is essential.
The patient should eat frequent small meals rather than a few large ones. Overeating should be avoided. Copious drinking of water is recommended.Take warm-water enema to cleanse bowels
During the initial two or three days of the juice fast, a warm water enema may be taken daily to cleanse the bowels.
Hot bath, cold compress applied to headA hot fool bath, fomentation over the stomach and spine, cold compress (4.5%26#92;JC to 15.6%26#92;JC) applied to the head, and towels wrung out of very hot water and frequently applied to the neck will go a long way in relieving migraine headaches.Plenty of exercise and walk in fresh air is essential
The patient should also take plenty of exercise and walk in the fresh air.

I really like flintstones chewables (or the generic store brands). I think they absorb better than the hard tablets that you swallow. It really gives me a lot of energy, and I think it helps my mood a lot, too.

I've been taking an immune booster Immune Alert for about the last year and have been amazed by the results. The main ingredient is an extract from baker's yeast that works to get the components of your immune system more ready to fight over the germs, virus, bacteria, etc. that you encounter in everyday life.My whole family has been taking it (me, my husband and 2-year-old son) and we love it. My son thinks the cherry chewable tablets are candy!! He started day care this year and while all the other kids are home sick all the time, the worst he has had is the sniffles. It's strange with a product like this because you don't really realize it is working until you look back and realize that the whole winter has passed and you weren't sick. You should check out their website -- www.immunealert.com. Unlike other similar supplements that people just think work, this one actually has scientific research to back it up. And it's all natural. Give it a try -- they are offering a free trial now so don't miss out.

I take Pure Aloe 450. It keeps me regular and really detoxes my system.

There is no certain one that is better then the other. You need them all. I take extra Vit. C and B6 for certain things. I try to eat good fresh stuff!

I like all natural multivit/mineral supplements, calcium, magnesium, B6, and probiotics. The combination works to alleviate migraines, restless legs, pms, mild depression, fatigue, etc.
I would like to include more flax seed oil and omega 3 in my diet as well but just don't want to take the supplements. You can only swallow so many pills. :)

Please bear in mind that we all have different nutritional requirements.However, I generally advise that everyone should consume:-1) Glyconutrients
2) Antioxidants
3) Multivitamin and mineral - and not a cheap one, those are just synthetic junk that flushes through your system without doing any good

In today's marketplace, there are only a few pharmaceutical companies that supply isolated chemicals (vitamins and minerals) to thousands of supplement companies worldwide. Yet, packaging and marketing is what truly separates these products. The ascorbic acid found in one company's product is the same ascorbic acid found in another company's product, and another, and another. Yet, these companies will all tell you that they have the "unique" formula, justifying their mark-up on price. Fancier packaging, greater advertising, higher or lower costs, does not change the undeniable fact that the product inside the bottle is from the same source. USP, or United States Pharmaceutical grade nutrients are all isolated fractions, synthetically made in pharmaceutical labs. This segment of the market is more than 95% of the supplements on the market worldwide. If you travel to Europe, to Britain, they will call "USP" nutrients "BP" nutrients. Take the cover off of the book, the contents are the same. Keep in mind that there are only a handful of pharmaceutical companies that supply the isolated nutrients throughout the world. Chelated Supplements- A small step above USP in terms of effectiveness, these end products are still not as found in nature. In example terms again: Ok, you give Michael Jorden another teammate, but just 1, you give Babe Ruth another teammate, but just 1. These two players may have a better chance in the game over an isolated player alone, but in competition in the real world, these incomplete teams are simply that, incomplete, therefore can and will not perform the same job as the complete team, as with in whole foods. Whole Foods- There are truly only a few companies that are selling whole food supplements, and an even smaller percentage of these companies that are using Re-Natured锟?nutrients. Re-Natured锟?br />
nutrients are in a class all by themselves. In their unique manufacturing process, The Grow锟?Company supplies the nutrients to the plants as they are growing, hence the name Grow锟?Company. This is what separates Grown By Nature from any other Whole Food Supplements out there, the incorporation of Re-Natured锟?nutrients. The benefit results in "Fully-Satisfied" fruits and vegetables during the Re-Naturing Process. What good is a whole food if it's lacking the essential vitamins and minerals from the beginning because the soil had been depleted? Please review the soil depletion page as well. If you have any questions as to what companies supply Re-Natured锟?br />
nutrients, please let us know and we will provide you with that information. Re-Natured锟?is one of a few trademarks used to describe these phenomenal nutrients. We use "Re-Natured锟?because that is the name most often quoted in the studies.

I don't whether you heard fo ITV or not, but they specialize in the sale of all natural whole food supplements. I am a firm believer in natural supplements as they do not included any synthetic vitamins or minerals. Check out the site and see what interest you. I personally take the sea vegg, vitassential, E8, Veggie Cal and the supreme Greens.www.itvventures.com/twalker

What is the best stuff to use to surely pass a drug test?

2009-10-13T22:45:00.000-07:00

Answer:
dont do drugs... you will pass every time!

dont take drugs ********

go to GNC and ask for a colon cleanser about a week before your drug test, drink tons of water and you should be fine, it worked for me! good luck

Eat lots of poppy seeds. ; )

Poppie seeds are the best way I know of.

synthetic urine depending on if they watch you or not, can buy at any smoke shop comes with temp gauge and hand warmer to get it up to temp. if they watch you i'd start pounding the h20 i also heard niacin works but will make you all red and itchy. or have someone piss for you.

GNC sells "body" detox drinks. They run from $20 to $40, but they are worth it. I caution you on the color you choose...it stains your tongue. Also, they taste like s*** but they work.

time and time alone is the best,I had to give a drug test once a week so unless you live in my ex home state California,you'll need 31 days to pass pot, most other drugs are out in a week, these are safe zones, best stay off the stuff. This coming from a 51yr young ex heroin addict,who was on methadone for 25 of those years.

The best way to pass is to abstain before taking one. If it is a urine test, 3 days is usually all that is required unless you use heavily. Drink lots of fluids and not just water (it will diluted your urine too much). Drink pop, coffee, tea, energy drinks, whatever, along with lots of water. You'll spend a lot of time in the loo but you may be able to flush your system in time. I'm not so sure about the poppy seed thing (didn't Myth-busters do an episode on that?) but I do know some companies test for golden seal and other herbs that are supposed to work. Seems to me that poppy seeds would make you test positive for opiates, I don't know, I don't remember the Myth-busters results.. Anyway, the lots of liquid thing worked for me a couple of times but I only use occasionally (socially) and nothing heavy, good luck.

umm i wouldn't suggest listening to those 2 about poppy seed the myth was confirmed on mythbusters and apparently a woman successfully sued a company for not hiring her after she got a false positive on a drug test because of eating poppy seed bagels that morning

I have no problem passing a drug test. My Secret is to pass the drugs up because they will get you in the end. Talk to some of your elders and some of those people who you think are really square, see if you can find out their secrets.

What is the best source for lowering cholesterol?

2009-10-13T22:44:00.003-07:00

After trying the Omega-3, I have been told that Red Rice Yeast, flaxseed oil, Co-q 10 and Niacin are also effective. Aside from diet and exercise, which of these are better at reducing your cholesterol?
Answer:
Except for CoQ10, they all are very good to lower cholesterol. But recent studies have shown pretty excellent results in lowering cholesterol with patients using organic flaxseed oil (full spectrum = all terpenes compounds included). This oil is far more superior than omega3 itself. The reason is that in order for the cells to use omega3 properly, without forming excess of free radicals, it requires the presence of omega6 and omega9 in a healthy ratio. Flaxseed oil comes with the three of them coreectly balanced already.I use a lot of flaxseed oil in combination with garlic, bromelain and OPCs to get the best results in lowering cholesterol fast. The only way this combination will fail is if the cholesterol problem is an endogenous one--but that's rare.Good luck! :)

I have not heard of these used in that way. Extra niacin makes me itch and have a facial rash. I lowered mine from 218 to 160 in 6 mths, eating oatmeal, and oatmeal products, reducing fried foods, increased my exercise a bit. Good Luck.

Omega 3-6-9 and flaxseed oil

eat less than 30 gm of fat a day, take fish oil caps every day about 1500 mg

Stay away from the red rice yeast, the side effects equal those of the statins drugs. Too dangereous to mess around with.

avoid foods that have cholesterol, anything that has trans fat and hydrogenated oil.
exercise very important and eat some raw (1)garlic and onions every day, do some research and you'll see the great benefits of eating them.
hope this help.
ps: omega3 are found in salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts but eat them with moderation.
use only cold press olive oil and canola oil that's it!!

Try a bowl of oats, oatmeal or oats based muesli every morning. Supposed to reduce your cholesterol level.Try a Yahoo search for"high cholesterol" + causes + treatment (OR cures OR remedies) and see what you get.

OMEGA IS 2 MUCH MONEY use zocor%26lt;simvastin%26gt; CHEAP

Homeopathic Treatment to Lower High Cholesterol Levels : -1.PHYTOLACCA 30X

Yes, supplements such as Omega-3, inositol hexaniacinate, pantethine, and guggulipid can be effective in lowering cholesterol. Supplements for lowering cholesterol should be used as a part of an overall plan that includes diet and lifestyle changes.You can Clean Out Your System. Plan an occasional system cleanout day where you consume only fruit and vegetables. The high water content of fruit and vegetables facilitates the spread of their valuable nutrients through your body and helps flush out the wastes that have built up from eating the wrong foods.

What is the best remedy (herbal or otherwise) for psorias around the eyes?

2009-10-13T22:44:00.001-07:00

Answer:
Psoriasis: A chronic skin condition, psoriasis presents as an overproduction of skin cells..most commonly on the elbows, knees and scalp where dry and scaly patches can be seen. Homeopathy has been used successfully to treat this condition but it can take a long time to clear as the sufferer will often have had it for a long time.Psoriasis has been successfully treated and managed by Homeopathic remedies.Psoriasis requires detailed specific prescribing of the "right" homeopathic remedy.Below are only some of the remedies that can be prescribed, please note how important the individual symptom picture is. Only when all symptoms, aggravation or amelioration are taken into consideration can a specific homeopathic remedy be selected.A further consideration is given to the potency of the remedy.Arsenicum album - Psoriasis with itching and burning, and it is worse for cold and scratching. The skin is very rough, dry and scaly.Arsenicum iodatum - Dry, scaly, itchy skin with scales that peel off easily, leaving the raw surface exposed. This remedy often suits emaciated and elderly women.Berberis aquifolium - Pimply, rough and scaly skin with eruptions appearing on the scalp extending to the face and neck.Borax - Skin is unhealthy and any injury suppurates easily. The Psoriasis is not as bad in the cold weather.Chrysarobimum - There is dry, scaly eruptions especially around the eyes and ears.Petroleum Rectificatum - Rough, thickened skin which may crack. Fingernail and toenails are also affected, and sufferer finds it much worse in Winter. Lycopodium - Styes on lids near internal canthus. Day-blindness. (BOTHROPS.) Night-blindness more characteristic. Sees only one-half of an object. Ulceration and redness of lids. Eyes half open during sleep.

If the eyelid is involved, this can be cleansed with a solution of tap water and baby shampoo used once or twice daily. A washcloth is then used with gentle rubbing to remove excess scale. Emollients should be applied. Potent cortisone around the eyes should be avoided as this can lead to glaucoma or cataract. The inner lining of the eye can also be involved with psoriasis. This is called conjunctivitis. This is a very sensitive area and your ophthalmologist should be consulted for treatment. http://www.yourskindoctor.com/psoriasis.
And if you find green clay, a natural remedy, mixed with green tea, put it around the eyes. Check these sites :

If we offered you a miracle remedy that cures "Psoriasis" would you buy it? Certainly you would. You won鈥檛 find it in a Pharmacy but at the Grocery Store.Try the Natural Cures for Psoriasis.Psoriasis is one of the most stubborn skin diseases. It is a chronic disease characterised by thick, red, silvery, scaled patches of skin. This disease affects both sexes equally and usually first appears at the age ranging from 15-30 years, although it may appear at any age. It is, however, rare in infancy and old age. Psoriasis is not contagious.Causes: Psoriasis involves an abnormality in the mechanism in which the skin grows and replaces itself. This abnormality is related to the metabolism of amino acids, the protein chemicals which are nature鈥檚 basic building blocks for the reproduction of cell tissues. Heredity also plays a role in the development of psoriasis, as it tends to occur in families. About 30% of the patients have a family history of the disease. The factors that aggravate and precipitate the outbreak of psoriasis are injury to the skin in the form of cuts, burns, minor abrasions, changes in the seasons, physical, and emotional stress, infections and use of certain medicines for the treatment of other diseases.Treatment: Since psoriasis is a metabolic disease, a cleansing juice fast for about seven days is always desirable in the beginning of the treatment. Carrots, beats, cucumbers and grapes may be used for juices. Juices of citrus fruits should be avoided. The warm water enema should be used daily to cleanse the bowels during the fast. After the juice fast, the patient should adopt the diet of three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits, with emphasis on raw seeds and nuts, especially seasame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and plenty of organically grown raw vegetables and fruits.All animal fats, including milk, butter and eggs should be avoided. Refined or processed foods and foods containing hydrogenated fats or white sugar, all condiments, tea and coffee, should also be avoided. After noticeable improvement, goat鈥檚 milk, yogurt and home made cottage cheese may be added to the diet. Juice fasts may be repeated after four weeks on diet. Vitamin E therapy has been found effective in the treatment of psoriasis. The patient should use this vitamin in therapeutic doses from 200 to 800 I.U. a day. It will help reduce itching and scabs. Lecithin is considered a remarkable remedy for psoriasis. The patient may take six to nine lecithin capsules a day - two or three capsules before or after each meal. In the form of granules, it may be taken four tablespoonfuls daily for two months. It may thereafter be reduced to two tablespoonfuls.Too frequent baths should be avoided. Soap should not be used. Regular seawater baths and application of seawater externally over the affected parts once a day are beneficial. The hot Epsom salts bath has proved valuable in psoriasis. Three full baths should be taken weekly until the trouble begins to subside. The number of baths thereafter may be reduced to two weekly and finally to one. The affected areas should also be bathed twice in hot water containing Epsom salt. After the bath a little olive oil may be applied. The skin should be kept absolutely clean by daily dry friction or sponge.In many cases, psoriasis responds well to sunlight. The affected parts should be frequently exposed to the sun. The daily use of a sunlamp or ultra-violet light are also beneficial. Cabbage leaves have been successfully used in the form of compresses in the treatment of psoriasis. The thickest and greenest outer leaves are most effective for use as compresses. They should be thoroughly washed in warm water and dried with a towel. The leaves should be made flat, soft and smooth by rolling them with a rolling pin after removing the thick veins. They should be warmed and then applied smoothly to the affected part in an overlapping manner. A pad of soft wooden cloth should be put over it. The whole compress should then be secured with an elastic bandage.The use of mudpacks in the treatment of psoriasis has also been found highly beneficial. The packs are made by mixing the clay with a little water and applying to the affected areas. After the clay has dried, it is removed and fresh pack applied. Mudpacks are eliminative in their action. They absorb and remove the toxins from the deceased areas.The patient should undertake plenty of regular exercise in fresh air, especially exposing the affected parts, and deep breathing exercises. He should avoid all nervous tension and should have adequate rest.Hope this helps, Good Luck.

A whole house water filter would do the job.

I did lots of research and found Aquasana to be the best filter. We use it for our drinking water and shower head. They also have full household systems. The problem with those is that the water is still traveling through all of your internal plumbing, so if you have issues with that, its not as good as getting it direct from the filter. Aquasana is having a huge sale until the end of the month too, and they have great customer service. I've used them for about 3 years.

What is the best natural remedy for thyroid problem?

2009-10-13T22:43:00.002-07:00

specifically for hypo %26 hyperthyroidism.
Answer:
If you are asking about both hypo and hyperthyroidism, I assume you are not about to treat yourself.Both hypo- and hyperthyroidism can be very serious (life threatening) conditions, so need to be taken seriously! There are many natural forms of treatment that can assist in management of thyroid conditions.Many herbs can be used to help manage symptoms, and others can help tone the thyroid. The herbs chosen depend to a large extent on the cause of the condition eg iodine deficiency/autoimmune/pituitar... problem etc.Hypothyroidism:
Fucus versiculosis (Bladderwrack) is the main herb for an underactive thyroid. Nettle seeds can also help.
Liver herbs such as Milk Thistle, Dandelion, Globe artichoke can help by increasing liver metabolism, which generally helps metabolism.
Globe artichoke can help the hypercholesterolaemia common in hypothyroidism.
Yellowdock (Rumex crispus) can help the associated constipation.
Exercise and avoiding brassica vegetables are important.
Skin brushing before showering can help
Increasing warming foods like chilli, ginger, cinnamon can help increse metabolic rate, and help that feeling of being cold.Hyperthyroidism:
Bugleweed is the herb most commonly used for hyperthyroidism.
For the symptoms:
Motherwort for anxiety and palpitations.
Lemonbalm for the digestive problems and nervousness.Withania is used for general toning of the thyroid.The presentation of thyroid conditions is quite varied, so for best treatment, would need to know the symptoms, not just the condition.I hope this helps adn wish you all the best.

it depends on the base cause.

YOGA

I dont know how anyone can treat themselves hemeopathcally from a hormonal inbalance. I definately wouldnt try it. Its dangerous to let those conditions go, there is a risk of heart problems.

These are very, very serious conditions. A hyperthyrpid can cause lasting damage to the cardiovascular system among many other things. Homeopathic medicine is for things like allergies and the sniffles, not for serious hormonal disorders.

Hi bradv, marine phytoplankton has come to be known as thyroid health food. The electrolytes and nutrients marine phytoplankton possesses are what the human body needs to control metabolic rate. Another natural supplement for thyroid support showing positive results in studies is the juice of the go-ji or lyceum berry from Asia. The fruit is seen as an immunomodulator - it can balance abnormal responses in the body and is seen by many as a natural treatment for thyroid problems.Are there any vitamins that can be take for thyroid support? Well, kelp is a combination of vitamins, minerals and supplements and has been said to work well in the treatment of thyroid problems. If you are on thyroid medication, be sure to take a good multivitamin with minerals and a few grams of Vitamin C everyday. Vitamin A is also very essential for the treatment of hypothyroidism as enough of it must be present in the body to enable the gland to absorb enough iodine.

Even if you are intending to take some natural remedies for a thyroid problem, you really must speak to your doctor first. Otherwise you could do more harm than good.Get referred to a specialist so that you have a proper diagnosis. Then, as well as any medication you are required to take, you could also take some natural remedies with it - but do tell your doctor so he can check that none of these would interfere with the medication.Thyroid problems can be serious; don't treat it lightly.

Some of the answers here scared me. I have been diagnosed with hypoadrenalism, over 5 years ago by my Endocrinologist. Initially he prescribed Cortef which I never bothered taking. Instead I went to 2 different Homeopaths and tried several things and have spent hundreds on all kinds of stuff. Well, I don't think the stuff I took hurt me per say, but I do believe that I should have taken the conventional route first in my case. Now I am worse off than I ever was and I am going back to my Endocrinologist. I believe Homeopaths are good when you are healthy to begin with. But thyroid issues are very complex and you could get hurt by not addressing it properly.

lavender helps, for meds lunesta

There are many approaches you could try. It's hard to be precise when you don't give any details about the sort of insomnia you are suffering from. If you can get hold of some herbal sleeping tablets, these are sometimes very useful. They won't knock you out the way conventional sleeping pills do. Ideally, you want something containing at least two of the following three: avena sativa, passiflora and scutellaria. If the suggested dose doesn't help, go up a little bit. If that still doesn't do it, try taking two doses, one a couple of hours before the second. Some people have trouble sleeping because of a high core temperature. If that is the case (hard to know except by trying out the cure), then take 20 minutes vigorous exercise about 6 hours before going to bed. This will raise your core temperature, and there will then be a reaction to a cool temperature at the right moment for you to sleep. Alternatively, try a hot bath about 3 hours before bed.Cut out drugs of all sorts and junk food. If getting to sleep is the problem, eat a high carb meal about 2 hours before bed. If staying asleep is the issue, eat biscuits, bread or cereal at bedtime.Relax for a couple of hours before bed time. Have a cool room. Use ear plugs and heavy curtains if sounds or light could be interfering with sleep. Experiment with how your bed is placed - you may find you sleep better if you are aligned in a particular direction..It may be that bottled-up anger or depression is the underlying reason for your insomnia. Counselling or psychotherapy will be the way to go if this is the case.Sleep well!

Its not really directly for insomnia, but it helps.Melatonin.Melatonin appears to have some use against circadian rhythm sleep disorders, such as jet lag and delayed sleep phase syndrome. It has been studied for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and sexual dysfunction. A study by Alfred J. Lewy and other researchers at Oregon Health %26 Science University found that it may ameliorate SAD and circadian misalignment,[25] but as of 2006 it is known to affect the timing of endogenous melatonin production, raising the risk that it can exacerbate both clinical depression and SAD.[26] Basic research indicates that melatonin may play a significant role in modulating the effects of drugs of abuse such as cocaine.[27]I used to have horrible insomnia, up for 31 hours commonly. with little sleep inbetween. then i started taking it and my sleep regimine and habits straightened out and now im normal :]You can find it at health food stores, walmart, etc.

As has been mentioned, it would help to know what kind of insomnia you are experiencing and if you know some probable causes.Passion Flower is best for "brain chatter" where you just can't get your head to stop problem solving. Lots of folks get help from Valerian Root, although it can cause vivid dreams. If it is mild insomnia, German Chamomile flower tea can take the edge off. California Poppy works well if you are nervous and fidgety.You might look for a formula that contains several things, sort of a "shotgun" approach. Herbs, Etc. makes one like that, in a liquid extract, that I've heard lots of good feedback about. It's called Deep Sleep.Especially if you fall asleep but wake up in the middle of the night, I would recommend you cut out all caffeine by 2 or 3 P.M.

Medicine can mean both drugs and natural ones. I would encourage you to use more of natural remedies rather than drugs for insomnia.Here are some remedies and methods that can possibly help you:
1. meditation
2. music
3. drink warm milk before going to bed
4. no TV or reading just before hitting the bed to avoid mental stimulation
5. melotonin.

Answer:
The medical term is hemorrhoids or varicose veins.If we offered you a miracle remedy that prevents "Varicose Veins" would you buy it? Certainly you would. You won鈥檛 find it in a Pharmacy but at the Grocery Store.Try the Natural Cures for Varicose Veins.Veins are thin-walled vessels through which the impure blood is carried back to the heart. They usually have valves which regular the flow of blood towards the heart. Varicose veins are a condition in which veins become enlarged, dilated or thickened. Varicose veins can occur in any part of the body but generally appear on the legs. The veins of the legs are the largest in the body and they carry the blood from the lower extremities upwards towards the heart. The direction of circulation in these vessels is largely determined by gravity. Though there are no mechanical obstacles to blood-flow, it is usually the incompetence of the valve which leads to an increase in intravenous pressure. Varicose veins have an unsightly appearance and can be dangerous. A blood clot within a large, greatly dilated vein may breakaway and move toward the heart and lungs, causing serious complications. Varicose veins are about thrice as common as occurrence in women as in men. This disease is rare in rural undeveloped societies.Symptoms: The first sign of varicose veins is a swelling along the course of the veins. This may be followed by muscular cramps and a feeling of tiredness in the legs behind he knees. In some cases, the normal flow of blood towards the heart may be reversed when the patient is in an upright position. This results in venous blood collecting in the lower part of the legs and the skin becomes purplish and pigmented, leading to what is known as varicose eczema or varicose ulcers. Both conditions cause severe pain.Causes: A varicose condition of the veins results from sluggish circulation due to various factors such as constipation, dietetic errors, lack of exercise, and smoking. Standing for long periods and wearing tight clothing's can also lead to sluggish circulation. Pregnancy may cause varicose veins due to increased pressure in the pelvis and abdomen, which slows down the flow of blood from the lower extremities to the heart. Women usually suffer from this condition in the early years of childbearing. Obesity can also cause varicose veins.Treatment: For a proper treatment of varicose veins, the patients should, in the beginning, be put on a juice fast for four or five days or on all-fruit diet for 7 to 10 days. A warm water enema should be administered daily during this period to cleanse the bowels and measures should be taken to avoid constipation.After the juice fast or all the fruits-diet, the patient should adopt restricted diet plan. In this regimen, oranges, or orange and lemon juice may be taken for breakfast. The midday meal may consist of a raw salad or any of the vegetables in the season with olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Steamed vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, turnips, cauliflower, and raisins, figs, or dates may be taken in the evening. No bread or potatoes or other starchy food should be included in this diet, or otherwise the whole effect of the diet will be lost. After the restricted diet, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet with emphasis on grains, seeds, nuts, vegetables and fruits. About 75 per cent of the diet should consist of raw vegetables and fruits. All condiments, alcoholic drinks, coffee, strong tea, white flour products, white sugar, and white sugar products should be strictly avoided. A short fast or the all-fruit diet for two or three days may be undertaken every month, depending on the progress.Raw vegetables juices, especially carrot juice in combination with spinach juice, have proved highly beneficial in the treatment of varicose veins. The formula proportion considered helpful in this combination are carrot 300 ml. and spinach 200 ml to prepare 500 ml of juice.Certain nutrients, especially vitamin E and C have also been found effective in the treatment of this disease. The patient should take vitamin C in a therapeutic dose up to 3000 mg and Vitamin E in therapeutic doses from 600 to 1200 IU daily. This will relieve him of pain and leg cramps associated with varicose veins.The alternate hot and cold hipbath is very valuable and should be taken daily. The affected parts should be sprayed with cold water or cold packs should be applied to them. A mudpack may be applied at night and allowed to remain until morning. A hot Epsom-salt bath is also very valuable and should be taken twice a week.Precautionary Measures: The following precautionary measures will help prevent varicose veins and ease symptoms if the disease has already developed:When on a long plane or train trip get up and walk around every half an hour. If on a long trip by car, stop once in a while and get out to stretch your legs.
1. When you are reading or watching television, elevate your feet and rest your legs on a chair or stool.
2. Mobility helps general circulation. Walking is beneficial as the movements of leg muscles help push the blood upwards. Swimming or walking in deep water does much the same thing. The great pressure of the water against legs helps move the blood up the veins and protects against stagnation.
3. Sleeping with feet raised slightly above the level of the heart helps the blood flow away from ankles. In case of serious troubles with varicose veins, the bed should be raised by placing blocks of six inches height under the posts at the foot. This is, however, not advisable for person with heart trouble.
4. If confined to bed, movement of feet and legs should be encouraged to help keep circulation moving youthfully.
5. Round garters should never be worn. They cut off the venous circulation, thus raising pressure in the veins and increasing the risk of varicosities.
6. Elastic girdles should not be worn continuously, especially when seated for a long time, such as at a desk, or during a plane, train or auto trip. The girdles bunch up and hamper the return flow of blood.
7. Pregnant woman should wear elastic stockings and lie down occasionally during the day. Getting up soon after delivery is also helpful in blood circulation.
8. These easy-to-follow flex-exercises are beneficial as they ease the cause of varicose veins and thereby relieve the resultant symptoms. Sun bathing and deep breathing exercises are also helpful.Certain inverted yoga postures such as viparitakarni, sarvagasana, and shirshashana are beneficial in the treatment of varicose veins as they drain the blood from the legs and reduce pressure on the veins. They help to relax the muscles and allow the blood freely in and out of the lower extremities. Padmasana, gomukhasana, vajrasana, and shalabhasana are also beneficial.Hope this helps, Good Luck.

What is the BEST Laxative?

2009-10-13T22:42:00.001-07:00

I took Phillips but it seemed to just "puff" my poop and that didn't help. What do you suggest? Sorry for the crude-ness.
Thanks
Answer:
Try prunes or prune juice

If you need to go, and you want to clear out your system, get liquid fleet suppository and mix it with something bubbly like 7up or sprite, then drink the entire 8 ounce glass in less than 15 minutes. It'll blast through you so stay near the toilet.Afterwards your colon will be clean and happy, and your stool should be too.

Well, first of all, a proper diet will keep most people "regular",
but, for a complete cleansing of the colon, I have used Magnesium Citrate. Be warned if you drink this, don't make any plans for that day. Stay home and prepare yourself. This natural element will clean out the lining of your colon. Food will attach itself to your colon walls just like sludge in a car, so, a complete cleansing will do wonders for you. Eating foods rich in fiber is always good for keeping things flowing smoothly, but if you want to try something else, a friend of mine, who is also into natural health, recommended this laxative called "Next to Nature". below I have provided their website, which by coincidence is currently offering a free sample, so maybe check this out. I have not used it myself, I eat a lot of fibrous foods, but my friend says it's a great product.Oh, if you decide to do the Magnesium Citrate flush, get the citrus flavor, %26 chill it in the frig. This makes it taste better. The cherry flavor is awful. 1/2 a bottle will do the trick, but for a complete cleansing go ahead %26 drink it all, it's not that bad.Good luck, %26 I hope everything comes out okay.http://www.nexttonature.com/

Try a little psyllium powder (found in your health food store) mixed in with your cereal. (Colon Cleanse is one brand.) All psyllium is, is extra fiber. Another good fiber is flax seed bran or oil. With either of these, start off with a very little and work up. This stuff is very powerful. Oh, and drink a glass of water with it. That ensures that the fiber does what it needs to do.Water solves so many problems--headaches, constipation, etc. etc. etc.

Herbal Fiberblend by AIM. That has fiber and herbs in it. The fiber softens the blockage while the herbs help to move it out. This is by far the best I've ever used. I wouldn't take psyllium without taking an herb or something to help move it through because it could add to the blockage if your intestines are "sluggish." The Fiberblend's not really a laxative - it is a cleanse. I'm telling you this because if a laxative didn't already work, another over-the-counter may not also and if you keep taking them you could really mess up your system.Eat only fruit and prunes for a day or two (especially if you use the Fiberblend, it will really work well).Unfortunately you have to order the Fiberblend. I haven't seen any in the stores that work like that. If you don't want to order it, triphala is a good herb that moves your intestines. But it might take a couple days, because it, too, is more thorough. Good Luck!

Prune Juice its natural and effective...Ouch! Good Luck

There is no such thing as good weed. what there is is ignorant people.

Thinking weed is bad is proof positive that you have been brainwashed, if it weren't for weed I wouldn't be here right now, it is an excellent tranquilizer if you don't have a paranoid personality. I'm partial to the funkadelic kind, aka cronic. Any is better than none!

This is an old nurses' remedy for throat problems that is very effective...Mix equal parts warm salt water (about 1 tsp), hydrogen peroxide, and antibacterial mouthwash. Gargle every few hours. It will help get rid of any drainage that could be irritating the throat as well as kill any bacteria/virus that could be attached to the throat wall...and mouth of course. Don't surprised to see some bubbling going on...that just means the hydrogen peroxide part is doing its job.People's Vitamin C needs are higher when sick, so take lots of Vitamin C throughout the day...not just one capsule. You can't overdose on Vitamin C, but if you notice you are having some diarrhea, that usually means you are taking as much as the body can use and it is starting to flush the excess out...so just back off A LITTLE in your total daily dosage until the diarrhea stops.Edit: I almost forgot...If you have no problems with alcohol...for medicinal purposes..."sweating out a cold" does work. This is an old wives' remedy, but I can attest to it's benefits. Make a hot cup of tea, add a little honey, lemon and a shot of whiskey (or other hard liquor). Wrap up in warm clothes and/or a blanket and prepare to sweat...a lot. Technically, this creates an artificial fever that creates an environment that is not conducive to bacteria and/or virus. I've seen many people take this recipe, go to bed feeling bad and wake up feeling fine.

warm water with salt do gargle

Ajowan is best home remedy for throat infection. It is ant-inflammatory and antipyretic.

Eating a boiled egg with black pipper powder also cures the cold. Besides this home remedy it is advisable to attend a doctor and get medicines prescribed. Get well soon.

What is the best herb to clean colon ?

2009-10-13T22:41:00.001-07:00

Answer:
Any kind of fiber is good...i don't know about any herbs, but try...fruits like apples, peaches/apricots, oranges, kiwi, plums, prunes, pomegranate, grapefruits, etc or drink fruit smoothies (Try Bolthouse Farms brand, or Odwalla, or POM (pomegranate juice, available at most grocery stores). Vegetables like spinach, carrots, celery, lettuce etc will clean you out pretty well too.
Yogurt is great for good digestion and immune system.
Also drink lots of water, as this helps your digestion

Not sure but I think prunes are okay for that but citrate medicine works best although it has such a tangy taste...

I use FLEET, which is just a saline solution, you can buy at the drugstore, over the counter, and in fact I used it the other day, and it really works, and it works within an hour. I used this before I had a colonoscopy, and it does clean out the colon, totaly. I use a half bottle, mixed with water, and in 30 minutes, the damn broke. It works very good.

What is the best ginseng you can take there seems so many?

2009-10-13T22:41:00.000-07:00

Answer:
An adaptogen helps the body adapt to stresses, whether they be mental or physical. It is in this area that all three ginsengs excel.
Chinese or Korean Ginseng
(Panax ginseng) is what most of us think of when Ginseng is mentioned. Indigenous to the forests of northeast China, Manchuria and Korea, Panax Ginseng comes in red or white varieties with red considered more warming and potent. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is a "Chi" tonic (vital energy or life energy force) and adaptogen with an affinity for the spleen and lung meridians. Modern scientific studies indicate Panax Ginseng stimulates the immune system; has anti fatigue, anti stress, anti tumor, anticancer and anti-aging properties; balances blood sugar levels; enhances mental performance and memory; lowers cholesterol; strengthens the heart muscle; and protects against radiation damage. Panax has had a notorious reputation as a sexual rejuvenator which studies give some credence to; albeit not to the degree of its reputation.
American Ginseng
Panax quinquefolium is indigenous to the eastern woodlands ranging from Georgia to Quebec and was used by many American Indian tribes. Ironically, American Ginseng is highly sought after in China, while Americans chase after Chinese. While having much the same adaptogenic qualities of Chinese, American is believed to be of a more "Yin" nature, cooler. What this means is that American Ginseng is excellent for the high-paced, stressed, not enough time culture that we live in. While still energizing the system, American Ginseng calms the central nervous system, quiets the brain and lowers blood pressure. Also because of its more Yin nature, it is generally better to use on a day to day, long term basis than Chinese. In my opinion American Ginseng is one of the best tonics for all-around health and vitality, particularly well suited for the world we've created.
Siberian Ginseng
Eleutherococcus senticosus, cousin to Panax ginseng, is native to Siberia, Japan, Korea and China with the Siberian grown being the highest prized. As with its cousins, Siberian Ginseng was traditionally used to promote longevity and general health. Research, mostly from Russia, confirms its abilities to increase mental and physical performance; stimulate the immune system, increasing phagocytosis; increase circulation and vasodilation; and to increase the benefits of medical radiation treatments while lessening the negative side-effects.If still confused, here's an overly simple guide I use for Ginseng. Korean Ginseng is best suited for long-term tonic and recovery, as well as support for your immune system. American Ginseng is for regular daily use, specially suited for energetic personality types. Siberian Ginseng is excellent for endurance and stamina; and well suited for athletes.

Red ginseng is the best gienseng to take because it has the best effect on the human's body.

A short answer to your question:
I use Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) very sparingly - it gives one the energy to get through the tough spots, and is very powerful, however it takes its toll if used too much.
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) is great for treating ADD/ADHD
Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is my favourite. It is stimulating without being too stimulating (unlike Korean ginseng), and helps build stamina and strength. It is very well researched, and the research has shown that people taking Siberian ginseng at the beginning of winter don't have as many sick days as the control group.None of the ginsengs should be used when you have an acute infection.

Korean Red Ginseng is the best.
Panax Ginseng is a different root, it is white and grown quicker and far less potent.
Korean Red is more expensive but it is the best.
A close runner up for second if grown right here in the U.S. in Wisconsin, it is simply American Ginseng.
Don't be fooled by labels. Terms such as "pure", "genuine", "standardized", etc., don't mean anything unless the product has been made from the root of a MATURE ginseng plant, grown under proper conditions and processed correctly. It takes about six years for the Ginseng root to reach maturity, %26 if it is processed %26 packaged prematurley, it doesn't have the same potentsy.
Also, try to get the least amount of fillers as possible, these are the inactive ingrediants.
The more pure Korean Red Ginseng per capsule, the better, but, also the more expensive. Don't be cheap when it comes to your health.Good luck.

It depends on what you want the ginseng to do; Different Ginsengs for different issues. If you really are interested in Ginseng and its many uses, and types check out the link below

What is the best full body cleanse recipe?

2009-10-13T22:40:00.003-07:00

Do they really work? A friend has recommended Hulda Clarks Liver cleanse. The problem is I am 30 to 40 pounds over weight. (was 65 pounds). I lost 25 pretty quick now I am 'stuck'. I walk 2 miles a day fast, I do a 35 minute work out. I eat like a bird. Lots of salad, little to no carbs. Haven't lost an ounce in weeks! I feel better but I want the pounds OFF. My friend says a body cleanse might help kick the weight loss back into gear? I am 44, 5.6 and weigh 193. I need to get at least 30 more pounds off to feel comfortable. Will a body cleanse help?
I tried a body cleanse from the health store and I noticed NO difference in anything.It was called 'Total Body rapid cleanse by Renew Life. Was a waste of money from what I can tell.
Answer:
It is very normal to plateau during stages of weight loss, and very disheartening! Just keep up your commitment. Things that help include lemon juice in warm-hot water every morning (like a shower on the inside) - for the first week just have one large glass of hot water with the juice of up to half a lemon (or lime - not orange) first thing. then if you can, go for a walk. Follow with a vegetable juice, preferably carrot, parsley and celery. then have a good breakfast with some protein, but no processed foods. Eat fresh fruit and veg, preferably no meat, but some fish is OK. Definitely no chicken (growth additives to their food make it hard to lose weight if you eat chicken). Cut out dairy. Nuts and green veg will provide the calcium you need. Eat enough to satisfy you, but don't eat if you are not hungry. It is important to eat enough so that your body doesn't go into "starvation mode" and store everything, ie keep up your metabolic rate.Before meals have a large teaspoon of psyllium husks mixed in water - the psyllium acts like a broom through the gut, and also fills you so that you won't eat so much.From the second week on, start each day with two large glasses of warm water and lemon juice. (2 glasses the first week can make the cleansing process too fast, resulting in headaches and a feeling of nausea)As a general rule: breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper - what you eat at night you tend to store on the hips, but starving yourself just makes it easier to gain weight.Make sure you drink lots of water!! Add some lemon juice to help make it more palatable if you want.Before going to bed each night, spend 5 minutes imagining yourself slim, trim and terrific!Well done for getting as far as you have, and good luck with the remaining weight loss. Keep healthy and happy with who you are.I hope these tips help and wish you all the best.

alright trust me with this eating less doesnot help since your metabolic rate( the rate you burn food) slows down if you eat less it is better to have lots of small meals rather than few big ones that way it keeps your metabolic rate high constantly also having lots of water keeps it up and having water or grapes over 2-3 days can cleanse your body of wastes and make a small loss of weight (only by drinking water constantly). finally being overweight does not mean you are obease it can sometimes be quite innaccurate since muscle is heaver than fat.

In Yoga there r certain processes that cleanse ur total body but if ur a amateur u must do it under guidance and supervision
Go to a reputed Yoga center and undergo these processes they r called they r Sanskrit names
KUNJAL
SHANKHPRAKSHALAN
The former cleanses ur respiratory tract and the other ur digestive tract

You've hit a slope in your diet; This is totally normal. You're body is taking a "Rest" so to speak. You can try a body cleanse, which may help, but from my experience, if you eat a normal diet for a few days and then go back to your diet-your metabolism will kick back in. You've been depriving your body of carbs-which it needs for energy, so kick in a few carbs and then slowly take them back out of your diet. This should help you get back on track. Good Luck

I have heard really great things about the Master Cleanse or the lemonade diet, outlined in a book by Stanley Burroughs (it's just a little thing I bought at Barnes and Noble for $7). The essential idea is that you drink only a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne powder for 2 to 10 days (the book recommends 10).Lemon juice is supposed to be one of the most nutritionally pure and complete foods you can have.
Maple syrup provides you with enough calories in simple form to not feel disgustingly hungry and also has a bunch of minerals.
Cayenne is supposed to loosen the plaque in your intestines to get them all cleared out and healthy again.I tried it but to be honest I was totally unprepared and it ended up being a waste of time because I ate pizza within 24 hours. The juice is a little nauseating - if you decide to do it I would recommend putting a pinch of cayenne in a bit of lemon juice and shooting it rather than putting it your whole bottle of juice - it will be much more pleasant this way!Go to this site http://therawfoodsite.com/mastercleanse. and/or the bookstore to see the actual book - it's a very convincing plan that I would like to try again someday. The best part is that unlike the prepackaged cleanses you can buy from the store, you know exactly what you're putting in your body!

Cleansing does work, but it has to be more than a week (at least a month) and you really need to eat right during it. The Master Cleanse is a good start but from what I've seen people gain the weight back right away. I don't know if it can help with plaque, maybe at first.I used to be overweight and had a really hard time even with diet and exercise it didn't work. I lost weight when I cleansed and did a series of colonics at the same time.Afterward I did the "Buns of Steel, 2000" Step aerobic work out 5 times a week. My body never really responded to a work out before I cleansed. I only tried this because after my cleanse (for 2 months) I had a lot of energy. I'm glad I did because my body responded more than before. Now I do the "Sound Mind Sound Body Boot Camp" DVD by David Kirsch. I could only do 20 minutes at first but now I do all except the stomach workout because of back surgery. I see great results (I'm 45).Below I gave a website that has a diet outlined for a weight loss cleanse. Good luck to you.

There is no one type of recipe that is best. Each recipe can possible help you target a different part of your body that requires detoxification. Yes...definitely, a body cleanse can help kick start the weight loss once again.

Never try eating less. For one week, have the same thing every day. Take a little milk thistle in the morning and at night, and drink lots of green tea. To get your metabolism back up, eat lots of grains and wheat. I recommend an organic granola cereal, which can be purchased in the health food section of any store. Munching on snow peas, spinach and other simple plants can help wash out your system too. A very easy thing to do, though it doesnt have very good results, is just try and cut down on the fat for a while, and still take the milk thistle and tea.

What is the best cure for gum disease?

2009-10-13T22:40:00.002-07:00

Natural type cures are preferred
Answer:
Poor oral hygiene -- including improper brushing, flossing, or rinsing -- is the leading cause of gum disease. Other precipitating factors include a high-sugar diet, lack of vitamin C or other nutrients, and smoking (the chemicals in tobacco smoke harm gums and teeth). In addition, certain medications can make gum disease worse because they inhibit saliva production, which helps wash away bacteria and sugars. Genetic factors likely make some people particularly susceptible to gum disease. Women seem to be more prone to gum problems during pregnancy and menopause because of hormonal changes. Diabetes and other chronic diseases that can lower resistance to infection also increase the risk. Floss at least once a day and brush at least twice with a soft-bristle brush. It is important to use the proper technique, including brushing the tongue, which collects the same bacteria that stick to your teeth. If you're not sure you're flossing or brushing correctly, ask your dentist or dental hygienist to show you how. Plan to spend five minutes or so each session. Limit your intake of sweets and sticky carbohydrates -- or at least brush as soon as possible after eating them. These foods can accumulate in gum spaces and pockets, particularly in older people, who tend to have more exposed roots in their teeth. See a dentist at least once a year for a professional cleaning -- or more often if you have a problem that needs special attention. Try natural toothpastes and mouthwashes containing the herb bloodroot. These supply an antibacterial substance called sanguinarine that helps reduce and prevent the accumulation of dental plaque -- the first step in gum disease. Make a chamomile tea mouthwash using 2 or 3 teaspoons of herb per cup of hot water. Steep for 10 minutes, strain, and cool. Use as a daily mouthwash or gargle. Commission E, a noted panel of health experts in Germany that reviews herbal supplements, officially recognizes chamomile as an effective gargle or mouthwash for the treatment of gingivitis. How Supplements Can Help - Various supplements -- used together -- can help heal sore and bleeding gums. Benefits should be noticed within two weeks. People at high risk for gum disease can also take them on a long-term preventive basis. Vitamin C/Flavonoids : 1,000 mg vitamin C and 500 mg flavonoids twice a day. Coenzyme Q10 : 50 mg twice a day. For best absorption, take with food. Vitamin E : Break open a 400 IU capsule; rub contents on gums. Alternate with folic acid/vitamin C treatments. Folic Acid Liquid : Dip swab in liquid; apply along gum line every other day. Follow up with vitamin C powder. Alternate with vitamin E gum treatment every other day. Vitamin C Powder : Using 1/2 tsp. powder, brush along gum line every other day. Alternate with vitamin E treatment every other day. See your dentist if you experience red, swollen gums or loose teeth. It may save your teeth.
Have your teeth professionally cleaned if you haven't done so in the previous year.

Best cure is antibiotics... don't know about natural treatments...
Good Luck

the natural remedies include,
rubbing the teeth with tea-tree oil, use a good quality, organic one if u can, Dessert essence is a good one, %26 good health shops sell it.
"...CoEnzyme Q10 - has become the leading supplement that holistic dentists prescribe for the treatment of gum disease. There is still very little clinical research to support this, although Japanese researchers reported that giving gum disease patients 60mg a day for eight weeks brought about dramatic improvements. Take at least 60mg and not more than 100mg..."http://www.whatreallyworks.co.uk/start/q...taking a good quality multivitmain (if u have repeated bleeding gums) as this also indicates lack of Vitmian C, increasing your intake of it will help
http://www.whatreallyworks.co.uk/start/q...
also, see this artilce:
http://www.whatreallyworks.co.uk/start/q...

Brushing, flossing, swishing with hydrogen peroxide and spitting REALLY kills germs (I do it before I go to bed) added bonus, teeth whitening :)

Don;t use anything other than natural. Eating apples can help, the bacteria in cheese helps. Brushing at least 2 times a day and flossing!! eating parsley too is good for a lot of ailments.

Talk to a local dentist ASAP.While gum disease can be attributable to many things such as diabetes, stress, and medications, the fact is that the majority of Americans who are afflicted with gum disease have nothing more to blame than a combination of poor dental hygiene, poor nutrition, and tobacco use (if you are a smoker). Gum disease is no laughing matter folks. It is a very serious and unnecessary risk to your health, not to mention your smile and ability to chew solid food into your twilight years.The early stage of gum disease is gingivitis, where the gums redden, swell, and bleed easily, yet can be reversed with professional cleanings and proper dental hygiene. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis. Periodontitis is much more of a threat, and with time, plaque can spread below the gum line, creating a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and toxins. These toxins produce a chronic inflammatory response that cause the tissue and bone that support the teeth to be broken down and destroyed. Gums will separate from the teeth, forming pockets which can become infected by the already present bacteria. Ultimately, if no action has been taken, the resulting bone loss and infection will call for the tooth to be removed in the afflicted area.Sadly, gums cannot regenerate themselves, and the bones that hold your beautiful teeth in place will not reform. But, if caught soon enough (before your teeth fall out of your head), gum disease can be stopped dead in its tracks, pockets will close up, gums will become toned and healthy, and the former threat of bone loss will no longer exist.For a good article "Bleeding Gums" visit:

What is the best cure for a hangover?

2009-10-13T22:40:00.001-07:00

On oprah Dr. Oz said sometihng about curing a hangover I missed it. It was suposedly the best thing and works almost instantly.
Answer:
Do not have an alcoholic drink in the morning as a cure for a hangover. Another drink does not help and may only make your hangover worse.路 Some people think that having a cup of coffee will help to drive away your hangover. NOT TRUE. Avoid coffees and any other caffeinated beverages as they can cause you further dehydration.路 Take Vitamin C as it may increase the rate of alcohol breakdown in the body.路 Alcohol causes dehydration, so drink plenty of water. Also drink fruit juices and tomato juice.路 Bouillon soup or sports beverages (i.e. Gatorade) may help replace depleted salt and potassium.路 Try a cold pack to relieve headache pain.路 For a headache, take acetaminophen unless you have known liver disease or drink heavily and, therefore, may be at risk for liver disease.路 Alcohol consumption can irritate your stomach lining so avoid aspirin and ibuprofen since they may only serve to increase this irritation.路 For an upset stomach, try an over-the-counter antacid. Peppermint and chamomile tea may also help.Prevention of the hangover in the future
路 Never drink on an empty stomach. Food helps to absorb some of the alcohol and aids the body in digesting it faster.路 Try to eat starchy foods to slow down the alcohol absorption.路 Limit yourself to less than 1 drink per hour.路 Try to alternate your alcoholic drinks with nonalcoholic beverages such as water.路 Stick to non-carbonated drinks as carbonation can speed up the alcohol absorption.路 Try to avoid sweet drinks (and sugary foods) while you drink. The sweet taste of the drink can make it difficult for you to judge how much alcohol you鈥檙e actually consuming.路 Be sure to choose drinks with low levels of congeners (light drinks such as white wines, gin, and vodka) 鈥?these are additives that are found in alcohol that increase your risk of a hangover. Dark-colored drinks (such as red wine, bourbon, and rum) have higher levels of congeners and should be avoided as often as possible.路 Drink lots of water before you go to bed.路 Get plenty of rest.

Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

鈾? : ^)

DUHHHHHHH DON'T DRINK

Tomato juice (drinking) one full l,arge glass.

Citrus fruit juices %26 lots of water.

Get a 7-up and pour it into a glass. Add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and stir. Drink it all. and then drink another glass of water right behind that.Do not drive as the alcohol in your system is still probably at an unsafe level to do so, if you drank enough to have a 'hangover.

I've often heard that taking Tylenol before you start drinking will drastically reduce or even eliminate hangovers. The only sure fire way is to stop drinking. Hope this helps.

What is the best colon cleansing product? Dr. Natura? Bowtrol? Master cleanse??

2009-10-13T22:40:00.000-07:00

I was told that Dr. Natura was good, and after seeing the pictures on the website, I believe it. But I just read that Bowtrol is better... And last year "master cleanse" was the best.. somebody help me so I dont go wasting my money!! Thanks!
Answer:
Spend your money on something you want that makes you feel good about yourself. There is absolutly no need to cleanse you bowel. All the products do is cleanse your wallet of excess cash. Think about it for a minute. Your body is a wonderful organism that is perfectly capable of taking care of itself. How could the human race have existed for millions of years if it depended on some airhead to develop a special formula to "Cleanse" the colon. All this started years ago by Dr Kellog in order to get people to come to his health spa and spend their money. Its been working for many others in various forms ever since.

you would have to ask your doctor about it. people are biased and narrow-minded

Before I cleansed the first time, I asked my doctor and he told me he didn't know an the answer because, as a doctor, he was trained in pharmaceuticals, not herbs.So I did it myself. My favorite is the Herbal Fiberblend by AIM because the powder form (not the pill form) doesn't have senna in it which can be very addicting. I included a website below where you can learn about how to choose a product.

Iternal cleanser capsules by Tianshi are very good in colon cleansing as well as alleviating chronic diarrhoea

For colon cleansing products, I think most of them have their own pro an cons.. Cellular Research, Dr. Natura, Dr. Schulze, Enuvia, Health Plus, Nature's Secret and Oxy-Powder are quite among popular among the industry. Tips: Before you go for colon cleanse, the best thing would be going for juice fasting for 3- 5 days or eat a diet high in fiber and drink your recommended amount of water.http://www.cleansecolonblog.com/... is a blog that review colon cleanse product, colon cleanse home remedies and more.

I tried Master Cleanse and it worked so well. I lost a lot through the cleansing process. And strangely my body felt healthier than ever.

What is the best alternative to cure dormant gentile herpes (on pennies). if u know Doctor in Bombay pls.infm.

2009-10-13T22:39:00.002-07:00

i have a genitile herpes on pennis for about 3 years, it comes up once in a year %26 subsides after allopathic treatment. now my docter adviced medication for one year for complete eradication,
i am looking for a good alternative treatment %26 a alternative medicine doctor in bombay. please advice %26 give information.
Answer:
There is no cure for genital herpes. Anyone who says there is, is lying.

There is no cure for herpes, and learn ot spell PENIS right!

If your doctor has some treatment that eradicates the herpes, go for it. Usually it is difficult to completely eradicate. Most alternative treatments work on managing the condition, although homoeopathics may actually cure it in some people. Herbally, we use St John's wort and lemon balm to help kill the virus, and herbs like andrographis and echinacea to boost immunity so the body can deal with the virus better.Avoid peanuts and chocolate as these feed the virus. Take lysine regularly, and increase the dose at the first sign of an outbreak. Vitamin C and zinc also help your body fight the virus.Please avoid sexual contact when you have an outbreak! (To protect your partner)I wish you success in your quest for a cure.

dormant means it is not active, and herpes is a virus that live in your body forever, it will show signs and symptoms when your immune system is weakthere is no way that you can cure it, you can only take medicine to make the diease less servere

Contact Dr.Ranawat, an ayurvedic doctor at Borivli. He will guide and treat you properly. He is not expensive but you may have to take 15 days avance appointment. His phone number is 28955502.

Try homeopathy for complete cure.

What is Strontium Citrate and what are its uses?

2009-10-13T22:39:00.000-07:00

My doctor, a Preventative Medicine Specialist put me on Strontium for my osteoporosis. I want to understand why.
Answer:
Strontium is one of many trace minerals essential for
bone health. It is a divalent cation and is transported
through the body using many of the same transport
molecules and receptors as calcium. Recent research
has highlighted strontium’s potential to support bone
strength and health.Uses For StrontiumBone Support: Strontium supports healthy osteoblast
differentiation and helps to keep osteoclast activity in
balance. Additionally, strontium supplementation supports
healthy collagen formation by osteoblasts, enhancing
bone tensile strength. In a multi-national, prospective
two-year placebo-controlled trial with 353 women,
strontium supplementation maintained healthy vertebrae
integrity as well as healthy bone mineralization. A
three-year placebo-controlled, double blind study with
1,649 postmenopausal women, indicated that a strontium
salt supported healthy vertebrae composition and was
well tolerated. In a preliminary analysis of a three-year
placebo-controlled, double blind study of 5,091
postmenopausal women, strontium supplementation
promoted healthy hip bones.RecommendationsPure Encapsulations recommends 1–3 capsules per day,
in divided doses, with or between meals, away from
calcium-containing foods or supplements.Potential Side Effects Or PrecautionsSince strontium is absorbed using calcium transport
mechanisms, strontium supplements should not be
taken at the same time as calcium supplements or
calcium-containing foods. While supplementing with
strontium, adequate calcium intake should be maintained.
Strontium supplementation may be contraindicated for
individuals with impaired renal function as altered excretion
may have an effect on strontium accumulation and bone
deposition characteristics. If pregnant or lactating, consult
your physician.

Strontium is a common element which is naturally found in your bones. Studies show supplementation with Strontium in it’s various forms is well tolerated and completely safe. Strontium lies directly below calcium on the periodic table of elements and that makes calcium, strontium and magnesium all in the same chemical family. They are all naturally occurring metals which easily form into stable salts like calcium citrate, magnesium citrate and strontium citrate (used in Strontium BoostTM formula). They also form carbonates, sulfates, lactates and ranelate.As an alkaline earth element, strontium is similar to calcium in its absorption in the gut, incorporation in bone, and elimination from the body through the kidneys. Strontium is naturally present in trace amounts with around 100 micrograms in every gram of bone, so when you supplement with strontium you are simply making more of this element available for incorporation into your bone
A 2004 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that it may be at least as good a treatment for osteoporosis as currently available oral drug therapies including Fosamax (alendronate), Actonel, (risedronate), Evista (raloxifene ),and the injectable hormone Forteo (teriparatide).Post-menopausal women normally lose about 1% of their bone per year, but the Strontium studies are showing 3 year bone growth of 8.1 %! These exciting results were published in large phase three study that followed two other very positive multinational strontium clinicals. In this most recent study, 1,649 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who had had at least one vertebral fracture were randomized to receive either strontium ranelate or placebo for three years. Both groups also took calcium and vitamin D with the strontium to achieve these amazing results.Several forms of strontium are available in the market, but strontium ranelate was used in the study because it was not a common form and hence patentable. Once patents are granted, it is protected so that it makes it worthwhile for a drug company to invest in large clinical studies. Strontium Ranelate has become a new prescription drug called Protelos®. Expect to hear more about this Strontium “drug” in the future.
Fracture rates of the spine are reduced 41%, again favorably comparable to the pharmaceutical agents. In women over 70 years old, data shows that hip fractures are reduced by 36% and vertebral fractures are reduced by 59%. The conclusion by the author-experts assembled from France, Australia, Italy, Poland, England, Hungry, Germany, Denmark, Belgium and the USA was this: “Strontium ranelate given orally at 2 grams daily appears to reduce the risk of vertebral fractures rapidly, effectively and safely among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.”

What is sasaaka asan?

2009-10-13T22:38:00.003-07:00

sasaka asa to reduce fat arround waist line
Answer:
=2

I think you got the Asana wrong. Ardhamatsyendrasana: This is the half position of Matsyendrasana, which is named after the great sage Matsyendra. Sit erect on the ground, stretching your legs in front of you. Insert your left heel in the perineum, keeping the left thigh straight. Place your right foot flat on the floor, crossing the left knee. Pass your left arm over the right knee and grasp the big toe of your right foot. Grasp your left thigh from the rear with your right hand. Turn your head, neck, shoulders and trunk to the right bringing your chin in line with the right shoulder. Maintain this position for a few seconds, gradually increasing the duration to 2 minutes. Repeat the same process on the other side for the same duration.This asana exercises the vertebrae and keeps them in good shape. It helps the liver, spleen, bladder, pancreas, intestines and other abdominal organs, and also stretches, and strengthens the spinal nerves. This asana is beneficial in the treatment of OBESITY, dyspepsia, asthma, and diabetes.Hope this helps, Good Luck.

What is reiki?

2009-10-13T22:38:00.002-07:00

Answer:
An energy healing art that, by coincidence, I am going to be attuned to tonight. The other poster told you the basics, I will post a website for you to look at...It mysteriously works and no one was as surprised as I was, so much so, I felt I should learn how to do it...

Reiki (霊気 or レイキ, Reiki? IPA: [ˌreɪki]) is a form of spiritual practice, often compared to faith healing, proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual diseases. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in early 20th century Japan, where he said he received the ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands as well as gestures in the air, which they say will channel "healing energy" (ki). Practitioners state energy flows through their palms to bring about healing.

What is Pulsatilla and Caulophyllum? Is it okay to take when pregnant to induce labor? Where can I find it?

2009-10-13T22:38:00.001-07:00

I know its a bunch of questions, but I read that you can take Pulsatilla 1m and Caulophyllum 200c to induce labor. I'm 39 weeks, 2 cm dilated, 65% effaced, and the baby is at 0 station (or engaged). I'm so miserable and looking for home remedies to induce. This is the only time I've heard about these meds or whatever they are, so if they are safe, where would I find them? All answers are welcome. Thank you!!
Answer:
Hi girl2woman,
Pulsatilla is a homeopathic remedy said to be most suitable for shy, hypersensitive people who tend to feel warm rather than cold. You not needed these product.But, Caulophyllum is a small genus of perennial herbs in the family Berberidaceae. Common names for plants in this genus include Blue Cohosh, Squaw Root, and Papoose Root. As hinted at by its common names, this plant is well known as an alternative medicine for inducing childbirth. Yes, these are said to stimulate the start of contractions.Here are safe ways to induce labor and finally have your baby:
1. Walking. Walking stimulates the muscles in your uterus and may stimulate contractions.
2. Tea with Thyme. That tea with thyme has induced labor for many women.
3. Basil and Oregano. That herbs can stimulate labor contractions.
4. Raspberry Leaf Tea. It stimulates contractions.
5. Nipple Stimulation. This odd method causes oxytocin, which in turn makes your uterus contract.
6. Relaxation exercises. Relaxation exercises have been known to relax the woman into a state for labor to start. You can find a variety of relaxation exercises online.It should be noted (again) that none of these ways should be used unless the pregnant woman is near her due date. More than likely they will not work anyway unless the baby is ready to be born. You can give nature a little nudge but not likely a giant push, which you would not want to do anyways.

What is one way I can unite my split personality?

2009-10-13T22:38:00.000-07:00

Answer:
Try being honest with yourself and then try the help from a good reputable psychotherapist in your area.

Make them sit side by side and hold hands; singing "Kum Ba Yah" may help as well.

funny i did an essay on dr jekyll and mr hyde read this:My way of ultimatley concluding this book is that there is always a hope never look at the negatives no matter how cruel it may be always look to the positive. Jekyll died in my opinion because he lost hope, never lose hope is the final message of this book or you might end up like Jekyll. The words resonate through the horrors of life but it is true, have compassion and reach deep in your heart (mind whatever) and do what you think is right and live happy. Always turn bad into good. Turn darkness to lightness and you will be saved and be happy. So as I reach my conclusion I would like to say that it is up to you to decide what is the cure for your Hyde, is it hope, wisdom, compassion, or love?

I don't want to be irresponsible with your question, because you deserve more than a pat answer. For starters, have you been evaluated by any professional? Or, just emotionally betwixt and between? I am a wellness and lifestyle coach. I'm a proponent of holistic healing, which requires patience, and a sincere desire to journey with the seeker (you); as oppose to medical solutions. I practice natural health since 1980 and and utilize natural non-invasive approaches to healing, although in the end it's the chemical imbalance being addressed. Wellness requires addressing the whole person (spirit, mind and body).What's not indicated is what's meant by your usage of the term "split personality". Is it an analogy; or an inconsistency in thinking; a genuine disorder, i.e. schizophrenia? To better assist you, kindly contact me via email and let's explore your options. For starters, how is your diet? Nutrition plays a major role in wellness, since nutrients (and not) are absorbed into and transported by bloodstream throughout your system. The lack of trace mineral deficiency creates an unhealthy environment, particularly in the brain. The Organic, Liquid Mineral Nutritional Supplement (Body Balance) contains over 120 nutrients including minerals (trace minerals) once only available through medical providers, addresses these needs. The product is manufactured by Life Force International and testimonies span the globe of numerous benefits (including reverses in condition and or total deliverance). This isn't a cure-all, just a significant nutritional option and it's Certified Organic, Kosher and Halaal approved. Do you exercise? If so, what is your practice? How do you spend your time? And what do you keep your mind on? You may benefit from a Wellness program, etc. I look forward to hearing from you and I care. Let's take a journey and get the two of you in harmony.Ta-ta for now and Abundant Blessings to you, JewelP.S.: Body Balance is 99% absorbable and provides cellular support to help one's body address its' health needs... I love this product! It's been good to me! :)

What is klonopin and what are the side effects?

2009-10-13T22:37:00.002-07:00

Answer:
Klonopin is useful alone or as an adjunct in the treatment of the Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (petit mal variant), akinetic and myoclonic seizures. In patients with absence seizures (petit mal) who have failed to respond to succinimides, Klonopin may be useful. Neurologic: Abnormal eye movements, aphonia, choreiform movements, coma, diplopia, dysarthria, dysdiadochokinesis, "glassy-eyed" appearance, headache, hemiparesis, hypotonia, nystagmus, respiratory depression, slurred speech, tremor, vertigo. Psychiatric: Confusion, depression, amnesia, hallucinations, hysteria, increased libido, insomnia, psychosis, suicidal attempt (the behavior effects are more likely to occur in patients with a history of psychiatric disturbances). Respiratory: Chest congestion, rhinorrhea, shortness of breath, hypersecretion in upper respiratory passages. Cardiovascular: Palpitations. Dermatologic: Hair loss, hirsutism, skin rash, ankle and facial edema. Gastrointestinal: Anorexia, coated tongue, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, encopresis, gastritis, hepatomegaly, increased appetite, nausea, sore gums. Genitourinary: Dysuria, enuresis, nocturia, urinary retention. Musculoskeletal: Muscle weakness, pains. Miscellaneous: Dehydration, general deterioration, fever, lymphadenopathy, weight loss or gain. Hematopoietic: Anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia.

minnor traqulizer. the side effects are numerous but depend on the amount taken the length of use and interaction with other medications.
the drug is used to treat anxiety

Klonopin (clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine similiar to Valium and Xanax. It is usually prescribed for excessive anxiety, though it is used for a whole lot of different things.The biggest side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, and disorientation. Alcohol will magnify these effects. It's very important not to drive after taking it, at least until you know how it affects you. It also carries a significant risk of psychological dependence, so it should not be used except under the care of a doctor.One more thing: In the US, Klonopin is a schedule iv controlled substance. It is a federal crime to possess it without a prescription.

An Rx given to epileptic conditions in some case and other disorders. One side effect is bladder control. Your doc should be able to fill you in, but a pharmacists knows more about drugs, ask them. Klonopin is not spelled right in your question, confussion is also a side effect.

it helps to relieve anxiety. some side effects are loss of appetite, loss of sexual desire, better sleeping, and a feeling of calm. it is addictive though, so it's hard to get off of...

Its also the top of the line compared other benzodiazephines such as valium,xanax diazepam.Better because it is time release; instead of hitting you hard right away then fading after a few hours, which can sometimes lead to worse anxiety,klonopin releases gradually in your system and stays for a longer time.Not only can you function more normally, but you will have an easier time tapering off, or quitting altogether.There are higher chances of bad addiction with the others if used for more than a few weeks.Its also about 5 times stronger than some of the others(diazepam)dont let that intimidate you due to its time release nature, its much more gradual...in a word, its smoother.
Its also a muscle relaxant.
It can be used in conjunction with anti depressants to treat depression, as anti depressants sometimes make people anxious intially.
It can be used to treat epilepsy.
It is also used to help people addicted to stronger drugs(Heroin,cocaine) as a transition drug to help them with the severe withdrawl symptoms that come with quitting.
The most common side effects are drowsiness, some short term memory loss, some motor function impairment.

water

drink a whole bunch of water...my tummy hurts often and a big glass of water usually dilutes the acid and makes it better...and water is just good for ya anyways.

A teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda mixed with a glass of water.

I would have to say a teaspoon of baking soda with 1/3 cup of water. Hold nose and drink! it works for me.

anything with a "basic" pH. or in other words, dont put anything in your stomach that is acidic. Milk is good, orange juice is bad. bread is good, a lemon would be bad. im sure u get the idea. I dont know if u consider "Tums" medicine...i definitely dont. but thatll help u a lot. if u go for pharmaceuticals eventually, ask your MD about Protonix, worked wonders for me.

papya..the enzymes help digest the food.you can have it fresh or juice or dried. They all work!

drink a table spoon of vinegar, it may burn going down but will fix your problem. also chewing gum will also help. The researchers say gum chewing stimulates the flow of saliva鈥攚hich is less acidic than fluids that are churned up in the stomach during digestion. Saliva soothes heartburn by neutralizing acid in the esophagus.

eating foods that are not rich or fatty.take a mylanta. strictly speaking its just calcium carbonate, and not strictly a medication at all.

A teaspoon full of bicard soda in a galss of water. does the trick everytime.

Hi, there is an undeniable connection between the occurrence of acid stomach and diet. Everything in your body has a delicate balance. The human body is a miracle of systems that maintains just the right conditions to keep everything running smoothly. One of the most important things you can do to cool heartburn down is to avoid certain foods. In many cases, just changing the diet is all that is necessary to control acid reflux.Most health care professionals recommend a low-acid diet consisting of more alkaline or basal foods, you can eat leafy greens and broccoli, lean cuts of grilled meat, egg whites, low-fat cheeses like feta, apples and bananas, multi-grain breads, and low-fat salad dressings are good choices. Foods such as chocolate, foods with a lot of extra cheese, tomato sauce or catsup based foods, onions, chilies, caffeinated beverages, fatty or fried foods, alcohol, mint, and citrus fruits have been known to aggravate digestion, acting as catalysts for acid stomach.Simple, reasonable modifications in your eating habits can do wonders for quelling acid reflux, not to mention improving overall health.In rare events, when I have acid stomach, I make tea. I mix together equal amounts of aniseed, peppermint and lavender and make of this tea. I use:
boiling 2 陆 cup distilled water
I pour this water over a teaspoon of the herbal mixture
I let this tea sit for 3- 5 minutes
then I strain the tea and add a little bit of honey.
I place this tea in a thermos
With this tea I get relief of acid stomach by leaps and bounds,
Jason Homan

Bragg's apple cider vinegar (with mother culture). Take 2 Tbsp diluted in 8 oz of water. Add 2 Tbsp. RAW honey to sweeten, if desired.Alternatively, there are some excellent homeopathic remedies. Reflux-Away and Antisid are two brand names available at most good health food stores.

My husband suffered for years with acid reflux and such. The treatment that I finally got him to try has helped him deal with it for years now. He drinks 1 cup of cool water and eats either a few olives or a few slices of pickle. It is simple to explain acid neutralizes acid and the water helps dilute the stomach acids. Worth a try for anyone and cheaper than those nasty antacids

try a slice or wedge of lemon or lime...sprinkled with salt. seems to neutralize the acids.

vinegar and water. when your stomach needs acid, it tells you by making you burp up acid. try it!! what do you have to loose? have a salad with italian dressing with your meal and see how your stomach reacts. This works-really!

Know the Natural Cures for Gastritis/Acid Stomach.Causes: The most frequent cause of gastritis is a dietetic indiscretion such as habitual overeating, eating of badly combined or improperly cooked foods, excessive intake of strong tea, coffee or alcoholic drinks, habitual use of large quantities of condiments, sauces, etc. It may sometimes follow certain diseases such as measles, diptheria, influenza, virus pneumonia, etc. Most often it also results from worry, anxiety, grief and prolonged tension. Use of certain drugs, strong acids, and caustic substances may also give rise to gastritis.Treatment: The patient should undertake a fast in both acute and chronic cases of gastritis. In acute cases, the patient will usually recover after a short fast of two or three days. In chronic condition, the fast may have to be continued for a longer period of seven days or so. In the alternative, short fasts may be repeated at an interval of one or two months, depending on the progress being made.The fast may be conducted on fruit juices. By fasting, the intake of irritants is at once effectively stopped, the stomach is rested and the toxic condition, causing the inflammation, is allowed to subside. Elimination is increased by fasting and the excess of toxic matter accumulated in the system is thrown out.After the acute symptoms subside, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for further three days. Juicy fruits such as apple, pear, grapes, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, peach and melon may be taken during this period at five-hourly intervals. The patient can thereafter gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely: (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables, and (iii) fruits on the following lines :Upon arising: A glass of lukewarm water with freshly squeezed lemon and spoonful of honey.
Breakfast: Fresh fruits , such as apples, orange, banana, grapes, grapefruit or any available berries, a handful of raw nuts and a glass of milk.
Mid-morning snack: One apple, banana, or any other fruit.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables, two or three slices of whole meal bread or whole wheat chappatis, according to the appetite and a glass of butter milk.
Mid-afternoon: A glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice or sugarcane juice.
Dinner: A large bowl of fresh salad of green vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, red beets, cabbage, cucumber with dressing of lemon juice and cold-pressed vegetable oil, all available sprouts such as alfalfa seeds mung beans, fresh butter and fresh home-made cottage cheese.
Bedtime snacks: A glass of fresh milk or one apple.The patient should avoid the use of alcohol, nicotine, spices, and condiments, flesh foods, chillies, sour things, pickles, strong tea and coffee. He should also avoid sweets, pastries, rich cakes and aerated waters. Curds and cottage cheese should be used freely. Carrot juice in combination with the juice of spinach is considered highly beneficial in the treatment of gastritis. 200 mL of spinach juice should be mixed with 300 ml. of carrot juice in this combination. Too many different foods should not be mixed at the same meal. Meals should be taken at least two hours before going to bed at night. 8 to 10 glasses of water should be taken daily, but water should not be taken with meals as it dilutes the digestive juices and delays digestion. And above all, haste should be avoided while eating and meals should be served in a pleasing and relaxed atmosphere.Coconut water is an excellent food remedy for gastritis. It gives the stomach necessary rest and provides vitamins and minerals. The stomach will be greatly helped in returning to its normal condition if nothing except coconut water is given during the first 24 hours. Rice gruel is another effective remedy in acute cases of gastritis. In chronic cases where the flow of gastric juice is meager, such foods as require prolonged vigorous mastication will be beneficial as this induces a greater flow of gastric juices.From the commencement of the treatment, a warm water enema should be used daily, for about a week, to cleanse the bowels. If constipation is habitual, all steps should be taken for its eradication. The patient should be given daily a dry friction and sponge bath. Application of heat, through hot compressor or hot water bottle twice in the day either on an empty stomach or two hours after meals should also prove beneficial.The patient should not undertake any hard physical and mental work. He should, however, undertake breathing and other light exercises like walking, swimming, and golf. He should avoid worries and mental tension.Hope this helps, Good Luck.

What is ginkgo biloba?

2009-10-13T22:37:00.000-07:00

Answer:
Gingko biloba is an herbal supplement that is sold over-the-counter mainly to increase mental acuity. The elderly generally take gingko to help improve their memory. Gingko causes vasodilation, which opens the blood vessels, and improves oxygen circulation throughout the body. It also helps with glucose utilization (turning sugar into energy). However, it also acts as a blood thinner, because it inhibits platelet aggregation, and should be used with caution in people on anticoagulant (Coumadin, Warfarin) or acetaminophen (aspirin) therapy.

It is an herb sold in health food stores for less than $10. It has been reported to restore certain types of hearing loss in the elderly. Other people it causes them to hear chirps and whirring noises while they take it.The herb is made from one of the oldest tree species on Earth, the ginko biloba tree.

its an herb that is supposed to keep your mind sharp and help with memory

Ginkgo biloba is an herb that comes from one of the oldest tree species. It has been used for thousands of years in Asia and is currently prescribed in Europe for various ailments. Forty ingredients have been identified but there are two main ones: terpenoids and flavonoids. These two ingredients are antioxidants or substances that interfere with compounds that damage or even destroy blood cells.It is mainly known for its role in improving circulatory problems and memory. It's primary function is to dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow. So for example, if a person is having problems with blood flow to the legs (intermittent claudication), Ginkgo may be beneficial. It has been studied in dementia and Alzheimer's patients and has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain thereby improving mental function. It has also been studied to help reduce certain retinal problems in the back of the eye. Damage to the retina may come from diabetes and macular degeneration -- both can lead to blindness. Ginkgo has also been used for asthma, bronchitis, sexual dysfunction, fatigue and tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

heya Jim,Ginkgo biloba is one of the most well researched herbs in the world and is full of antioxidants and flavonoids. Ginkgo supports healthy circulation to both the brain and extremities of the body. Studies suggest that this traditional Chinese remedy is capable of improving cognitive function as demonstrated by increased mental sharpness, better concentration, and improved memory.Hope this helps and have a happy day!!Carrie =)

What is epsom salt used for?

2009-08-08T17:58:00.002-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:57:00.003-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:57:00.002-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:57:00.001-07:00

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

2009-08-08T17:57:00.000-07:00

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)?

2009-08-08T17:56:00.003-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:56:00.001-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:56:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:55:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:54:00.002-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:54:00.001-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:54:00.000-07:00

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 alcohol used for?

2009-08-08T17:53:00.002-07:00

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.

What is a safe dosage of acepromazine?

2009-08-08T17:53:00.001-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:52:00.003-07:00

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

A headache is a condition of mild to severe pain in the head; sometimes upper back or neck pain may also be interpreted as a headache.

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?

2009-08-08T17:52:00.002-07:00

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 cure for a high createnine?

2009-08-08T17:52:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:51:00.003-07:00

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.

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

What is a good, healthy toothpaste?

2009-08-08T17:51:00.002-07:00

Answer:
Tom's of Maine has great personal care products, including toothpaste.I believe Crest also has a line of organic or natural toothpastes now too.I personally use Crest Pro-Health.

any commercialy available toothpaste will be ok ..(as long as from a well known company) if u looking for natural healthy alternatives try meswak tree they are like small barks which u cut alittle bit from top and it forms a brush ,, really good stuff..

colgate original or the one with mint flavor

I like Crest Pro- health. makes my teeth feel clean. I think it was great adverting that they put health in there.

Tom's of Maine. I use it with autistic children who tend to swallow as they brush.http://www.tomsofmaine.com/toms/dept.asp...

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.
Jason Homan

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?

2009-08-08T17:51:00.001-07:00

What is a good way to get rid of hiccups?

2009-08-08T17:51:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:50:00.002-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:50:00.001-07:00

..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?

2009-08-08T17:50:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-08-08T17:49:00.003-07:00

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 .

Jason Homan

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?

2009-08-08T17:49:00.001-07:00

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.

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.

What is a good alternative treatment for Formaldehyde and Glutaraldehyde poisoning?

2009-08-08T17:48:00.003-07:00

Answer:
A liver clense should be in order now that the affected person's system is poisoned! Try activated willow carcoal. If you are in a live or die situation...try your local E.R. at once!

alternative ? or treatment.try the center for poison control.

If you want to detoxify, do what the hospitals do for detoxification - raise your glutathione. This will detoxify your whole system and it is the way your body is designed to get rid of toxins. Don鈥檛 use NAC to do this, like they do, it has nasty side effects when taken in quantities sufficient enough to do the job. Take a product called Immunocal 4 to 6 times a day for 10 days. This will eliminate most toxins out of your system, including what it is patented for - reducing the side effects of radiation.God bless

What is a dry room spa treatment?

2009-08-08T17:48:00.002-07:00

Answer:
At my business, a dry spa treatment doesn't require a shower or water to take off. We offer a salt glow in a dry room setting. The salt mixture is taken off by a hot damp towel as you lay on the table. Treatments like a mud bath, or mud wrap would be very messy. Treatments like that are usually done in a "wet room" where it is very easy to help the client wash off. It's usually a room with a cement floor and a water friendly table.

Hi herapyhands, on how much I know, it is over 90 minute treatment be performes in your room or on your private lanai, includes a 60 minute massage using aromatherapy Citrus Massage Oil or aromatherapy Stress Relief Massage Oil, Sea Salt Peppermint Foot Scrub, Scalp treatment using coconut, kukui nut and jojoba oils, eye pillow, Hawaiian hot stone bags, and a choice of relaxing music, 30 minute facial massage including facial exfoliation, honey mask, warm hydrating towels, fresh cucumber slices over the eyes, finishing with an application of Hazelnut oil with essential oils of Frankincense, Myrrh, and Rose to hydrate and rejuvenate your face. This a very popular massage for relaxation and stress reduction.

What in your opinion is the best hangover remedy?

2009-08-08T17:48:00.001-07:00

help me.cause i'm damn sloshed ;p
Answer:
Most of a hangover is dehydration and the rest is vitamin/mineral loss, so drinking lots of water and taking a multi-vitamin/mineral pill is a good idea.

an ice cold miller/bud light :)

Room temp water, greasy food and lots of sex!!

I have a regimen... Advil/tylenol before bed w/a glass of gatorade. Then the same again when i get up. If puking starts... Jello before it sets-up and it's still warm dilute some and drink. It may come up, but that will be the last time, I promise...

If you already have the hangover it's too late, if not and your still drinking then before you go to bed take 2 asprins and lots of water, the more water the better to dilute the alchol.That will prevent the hangover most times. It depends on how much you drink vrs. the water you drink!

The quickest way to shake off a hangover is to have a few drinks. This is called a hair of the dog. Don't get too carried away and overdo it because then you will get another hangover.

Take chaser plus b4 u drinkhttp://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?pro...

What herb(s) would help with a hormonal imbalance?

2009-08-08T17:48:00.000-07:00

I'm wanting to avoid going to a dr. as much as I can so I'm wanting to know any kind of herbs that are good for balancing hormones for a woman. And are Saw Palmetto, and Black Cohosh good for it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
Answer:
Evening Primrose Oil or Agnus Castus. Saw Palmetto is more for prostate trouble and black cohosh is reported not to be of benefit for menopausal symptoms and should carry a warning. Agnus Castus is known as 'the women's friend'. The extract acts on the pituitary gland to balance hormonal fluctuations, so is helpful in the treatment of a wide range of disorders, inlcuding PMS, painful periods, menopause (particularly the relief of hot flushes), polycystic ovaries and some other causes of infertility,and loss of libido. It is also effective in stimulating lactation in nursing mothers.

Meno Cream is THE best, and I have tried a lot of different herbs.
http://www.walgreens.com/search/search_r...Contains wild yams derivatives, grapefruit seed extract, omega threes, and vitamin E.The FDA made them change their packaging and said they could not advertise that this helps menopause and pre-menopause symtoms. It is great. I cannot live without this cream. You just use a dab on the wrists and it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Red Clover and Wild Yam.

Wild Yam, Red Clover, Damiana, Soy isoflavones

To recommend and herbal remedy I would first need to know more details.. What is the particular hormonal problem and other conditions that may exist.. there are some Essential oils that mimic hormonal activity and can be quite useful, such as Clary Sage.. but please keep in mind that
as women age, their levels of progesterone decline and contribute to osteoporosis,increased risk of breast and uterine cancers, mood swings, depression, and many other conditions. Estrogen levels can also decline and increase women's risk of heart disease. Replacing these declining levels using topically applied progesterone ore pregnenolone creams may be the most effective way to replace and boost declining hormone levels. Pregnenolone may be especially effective, as it is the precursor hormone from which the body creates both progesterone and estrogens..

You should think about going to an experienced and qualified herbalist; that way you will get the herbs that are specific to your hormone imbalance.

a combination of black cohosh, red clover, soy isoflavones... must be in a good dosage. My friend took women's choice from herbalife and the husband loved it because she is no longer irritable...etc. You can get them through me because i am a distributor. (this is not a scam... read the truth at www.herbalife.com)

There's one product that is quite effective. It's a cream called Pro-gest. It helps balance your body and can calm your moods and help ease your monthly changes.
I know it's not an herb but it is a natural remedy.
The company that makes it is Emerita.
I tried all the other things the others are talking about and none of them helped. Pro-gest worked the first time I used it. Then I told my friends about it and they tried it and now they all use it.
And I only use 1/4 tsp. a day so it's really very cost effective.

Black Cohosh is great for menopausal symptoms or hormonal imbalance that causes you to have hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, sleeplessness. Estroven is sold over the counter, it is a blend of herbs, with black cohosh being one. Estrablend, is the Walmart version.

Take ayurvedic tablet Shatavari 2-0-2 with milk.

What hormones are out of balance for you? Black Cohosh was prescribed by my nathuropathic doc for my mom's low estrogen. My body stopped making it's own hormones so I am on 5 bio-identical NATURAL hormones and other supps. One supp that chilled my mood was 5-HTP..I take 100 mg 2x per day. Low progesterone is my main problem.I would REALLY encourage you to call herb shops in your area. I did an evaluation with them and found out I had some severe defieciencies, which they gave me supps for.

Cordycep Sinensis. It is a kind of fungi used at least 2000 years ago by the Chinese. It has many medicinal properties such as, balances hormones thus stablising emotions, improve lungs and heart functions,strengthens male and female reproductive organs, increases sperm count, anti oxidant effect, improves pineal glands function thus improving memory. It also helps to prevent breast n uterus cancer which is caused by imbalance of hormones. I am a gano consultant and I combine Cordycep with Gano in my treatment. The herbs I use is cultured in Malaysia and distributed in 85 countries.

i dont have an answer but i thought you'd like to know that i am experiencing the same thing. major anxiety/mood issues and i know its my hormones cause my hair and skin are really bad and i havent had a period in over a year. just stopped taking birth control cause someone said that was what was causing the imbalance but so far (only a week off it) no changes...good luck to both of us!

What happens when you smoke menthol cigarettes & drink alcohol while taking homeopathy?

2009-08-08T17:47:00.001-07:00

Answer:
Menthol is an antidote in homeopathy, in what ever form. Cigarettes by themselves reduce the effect of homeopathic medicines so does alcohol. Stop both if you want the medicines to take effect on your body.

about the same as if you didnt take the homeopathy

the bigest thing is that you increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by about 1000% cut out the cigarretts avoid smoked meats, and keep your teeth clean and live to a ripe old age.

The same thing that happens if you smoke menthol cigarettes and drink alchohol after having a glass of water, because that's all homeopathic 'medicine' is - water.

What happens if a girl takes viagra/male enhancement?

2009-08-08T17:47:00.000-07:00

i wonder...
Answer:
she gets a giant woody, i wouldnt risk it dude

if you find out let me know i am interested in doing it too lol

they keep a ***** for 4 hrs

nothing may increase the blood.may also **** up hormones.

Nothing but a headache.

I have heard women take the stuff to get aroused or they make a pill in a female Viagra form, it's intent and purpose is to stimulate your desire for sex.

It causes the same kind of increased blood flow to the same general area. It creates a significant level of arousal and Viagra is often "abused" where the pill is split and the man and woman each take half. The FDA doesn't endorse this because "E.D." is considered a condition which Viagra treats and there's not "condition" it's treating in a woman which means that, by definition, it's an inappropriate use of the drug.

A girl doesn't need to take viagra.Female pill is "flibanserin" - German drugmaker Boehringer Ingelheim didn't set out to create a Viagra-like drug for women. The company was simply trying to develop a fast-acting antidepressant. But what they did see surprised them. Like all companies working on antidepressants, Boehringer surveyed patients in its clinical trial to assess dampening of libido, a well-established side effect. Far from complaining about a drop in sexual desire and arousal, many of the women in the trial reported a surge. Boehringer has placed a big bet on flibanserin. The company has launched four major clinical trials, involving 5,000 women in 220 locations, with the goal of applying for FDA approval in 2009. Drug development is never easy, however, and flibanserin faces a tougher road than usual. There's an ongoing controversy about whether or not a female analog to erectile dysfunction even exists. In October, the Endocrine Society issued guidelines cautioning that sexual dysfunction, if it exists at all, may have nothing to do with any "defect in the woman's physical sexual response system."

What forms of alternative therapy would you recommend for emotional problems?

2009-08-08T17:46:00.000-07:00

Answer:
none -until you have had a full evaluation by a physician who has ruled out a medical cause for your symptoms.

talking it through, role playing, art therapy, etc.

Look into Occuptional Therapy. The root of many of your problems might be in sensory dysfunction.

Check out fhu.com. They are the best resource for dealing with all forms of emotional problems.

Exercise~! Yoga! Healthy Diet~! Meditation~!

a psychotherapist they can use drugs but often view drugs as not the cure but a band-aid while the real healing is going on in therapy. depending on your emotional problems there are many complementary therapies. proper diet and exercise and getting sun are the easiest ways to help with some issues as well as nutritional supplements. many might advocate st johns wort but it will actually cause your body to excrete medication faster which is bad if you want the medication to be there for a treatment of another problem. you should always consult with your pharmacist about any interactions. Journalling can be a good thing so you can get it all out and talk it over with yourself on paper. also getting involved with a group of some kind can help. you may want to put down what emotional problem you want help with and perhaps we can taylor our answers better.

i suggest you find inner peace. this may sound weirdest to you but honestly, the eventual loss of inner peace makes anyone distressed to the point of disaster.read inspirational books especially those about God and his relation to you. recognize your worth as a person, and most importantly as a son/daughter of God after which you will realize you don't deserve treating yourself or others cruelly.i have no idea what emotional problem you are experiencing right now. but i can assure you that it's only a matter of changing perspectives. see things objectively and listen to the voice inside you.

You did not specify what type of emotional problems.You see your emotional problems is hidden in the area called the soul.It is like a computer and gets fed since you are an infant, you might not even remember but sometime mothers/fathers/teachers or whoever is close to you will deposit some vegetative emotions, which is most of the times lies, into your soul area.Eventually you have become the product of their (the aforementioned) ignorance commends which you now have to deal with. Your emotional problems was then indirectly caused by people's ignorant words spoken into your life.What you need to do is called reprogramming like with a computer.How do you do that by getting yourself a focus point or a point of reference in other word the truth. The word of God says you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.So reprogram your soul area with God's Word, which is the truth and you will be set free.I strongly advise that you attempt to see a Godly Counselor for emotional problems needs to be dealt with just like physical illness

By alternative therapy for psychological situations I understand you are referring to Neurolinguistic Program (NLP), floral therapy, reiki, or any of those yogi techniques from Asia. I say so because alternative medicine or therapy is an umbrella to cover all sorts of mystical and quasi-medical modalities imported from Orient, and these comprise the sum of what you'll find there. The best alternative I would dare to recommend professionally is Christian Wholistic Psychology which is practiced by well-rounded educated christian individuals, and whose approach to emotional or psychological problems is very broad and non-dogmatic (because psychology sciences are full of scientific dogmas).

Talk to a therapist. Try St. Johns Wort. It helps with mood changes.

I suppose you probably alright seen a doctor or someone qualifed enough to tell about what your asking.. so it be ridiculous for me to tell you to go see one if you already did so! Therapy: Reiki, meditation, extreme emotion problem
hypnosis! Of course herbal teas might be all you really need: Chamomile, Valerian, St. Johns Wort, Hawthorn,
just one of these teas will help control emotions. Side effect is they may make you feel a tad sleepy! Avoid coffee if you have emotion problems. There is a tea that tastes almost like coffee which is called Morning Brew!

What sort of emotional problem do you have ? I would highly recommend Homeopathy for not just emotional disorders for everything, works like a charm and totally without any side effects or complications and perhaps the most affordable form of treatment. Feel free to email me if you need any help regarding Homeopathic Medicine.Take Care and God Bless !

1. Find out the root cause of the emotional upset and not just treating the symptoms on the outside.
2. Aromatherapy is very effective and therapeutic for nervous psychological problems by calming, relaxing and uplifting moods.
3. Treat your body to a relaxing aromatic massage which will result in your body producing more endorphins(happy hormones) to feel good.

in my country we use often emotional body therapy and an other alternative is kinesiology but i don't know of the first form is availeble in your country

I would suggest energy therapy such as EFT. EFT (emotional Freedom Techniques) is a drug free therapy that you can learn yourself - so you don't have to keep going to see a therapist.It is easy to learn and you can download a free manual from the EFT site. It really works extremely well on all sorts of problems, both emotional and physical.You can find out more from the web sites below.

What foods contain vitamin B?

2009-08-05T22:47:00.002-07:00

Answer:
As a general rule, it is well known by nutritionists and naturopaths like me that every thing green --specially leaves-- contains more than 60% of all the vitamins B there are.Cereals --if in wholesome state-- are also rich in B vitamins.But the "best" sources of B vitamins are: 1) the small intestine--because there are some co-factors therein which actually convert those substances, or precursors, from food, that will ultimately become one of the B complex; 2) the liver--because it is where most of the B vitamins are stored, to be used when necessary and recycled (some of them) when their inventory is low.Good luck! :)

Whole wheat grains. Like 100 percent whole wheat bread. Cereals.

Bananas, potatoes, tuna, green veggies.

WHICH B-vitamin are you asking about?
B1?
B2?
B3?
B5?
B6?
B12?
Folate?
Biotin?
Choline? (a "conditional B-vitamin")

Hi Angel kis,
Vitamin B1 Helps release energy from carbohydrates and nervous system function. Their sources are: Brewer's yeast, wheat germ/bran, whole-grain cereals.Vitamin B2 Helps release energy from foods. Essential for healthy eyes, skin, nails and hair. Their sources are: Whole grains, brewer's yeast, torula yeast, wheat germ, almonds, sunflower seeds,cooked leafy vegetables.Vitamin B3 Needed for nervous and digestive system functions;essential for protein and carb metabolism. Their sources are: wheat germ, rice bran, nuts, sunflower seeds, brown rice.Vitamin B6 Helps form red blood cells. Important for normal reproductive processes and healthy pregnancies. Their sources are: Brewer's yeast, bananas, avocado, wheat germ/bran, soybeans, blackstrap molasses, cantaloupe.Vitamin B12 Helps form red blood cells.Prevents anemia Their sources are: sunflower seeds, comfrey leaves, kelp, bananas, peanuts, raw wheat germ.
Also Look article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/vitamin...
Jason Homan

The only B vitamin that is not found in green veggies is Vitamin B12. There are several myths that B12 is found in tofu and some vegetable products but chemical assays prove otherwise. B12 is only found in animal products so vegetarians must supplement or eat fortified foods to get B12.

Wheat Flour, Apples, Biscuits, Milk Solids, Mango, and other season fruits

What food promote tapeworms growing in the body of humans?

2009-08-05T22:47:00.001-07:00

Answer:
In humans, tapeworm disease is most commonly caused by one of three tapeworms species: the pork tapeworm, the beef tapeworm, and the dwarf tapeworm. Tapeworm infection is caused by the ingestion of tapeworm larvae or eggs. Tapeworm or usually ingested through food, water or soil contaminated with human or animal feces.Larvae are usually ingested through undercooked pork or beef. For example, improperly teated sewage containing tapeworm eggs may be used to fertilize pastures, which in turn infects pigs or cattle grazing. Inside the animals intestines, the eggs develop into pea size tapeworm larvae that are deposited in their tissue. The larvae can be passed on to humans who consume the meat.As the tapeworm enters your system it migrates to your intestines, where it matures into an adult and can measure up to 50 feet and can survive up to 20 years! Some tapeworm attach themselves to the walls of the intestines and can cause mild irritation while others may pass through your stools and exit your body.

They will eat what ever you eat. Matter of fact they will try to eat every thing you put in you. They eat and grow.

Tapeworms aren't eating the food.They're eating you...or at least blood products.So you eat food which allows you to manufacture more blood cells, which provides the parasite with food.

What food can be added to the diet, as a natural laxative?

2009-08-05T22:47:00.000-07:00

For instance it is rumoured oranges are useful?
Answer:
Wheat Germ or Flax Seeds. Both can be added to just about anything and they have no negative taste. I put both in smoothies and Wheat Germ on my yogurt when I have a late night snack craving. They are also insanely good for you. Try these. You can buy them in just about any store, and flax seed, you'll want the whole seeds, not the oil. Plus they are pretty cheap. Both under 5 dollars.

Figs, but be warned - don't eat too many!

Liquorice and chewing gum are laxatives! Not sure about chewing gum but liquorice is natural, you used to be able to buy it in chemist shops.

Bran
prunes

The old classics are prunes choclate and oranges and figs

if you eat move fruits and or vegetables along with any kind of beans and also whole grain breads or cereals like oatmeal etc.

I've never heard of oranges having a laxative effect. Dried fruit does, though. But you can easily overdo it, and get wickedly painful cramps if you eat too many raisins or prunes at once.

well, for me, it's any kind of steak. thats why i dont eat it very often.

chicken curry and fried rice with two bottles of cheap red wine

Prunes...easily the best!

prunes!!

Any high fiber foods will help. So will adding hot spices to whatever you are eating.

Flax seed oil can't be beat.

Prunes, figs, chocolate, oranges, and anything high in fiber, especially bran.

prune juice

Prunes are the best natural laxative...

flax seed/milled. put in anything from salad to yogurt.

weetabix, prunes, figs, wholemeal bread with added bran.
oranges are useful but too many can have the opposite effect.

well-dried or fresh apricots will work wonders, almost as good as prunes ,also apricot nectar
good fiber in the diet, and i aslo find coffee ,esp certain kinds make me go. make sure you drink enuf water.

Lettuce, but that also is a diuretic
Onions,
Raspberry leaves, which can be used to make a tea.
Prunes,
Coffee
Oats,
Bran
Dark Green veg
Pears
Garlic

im sure you now this but anyway: prunes, turmeric, linseeds, figs, curry, coffee, liquorice.... just dont take them all at once :) good luck and if you still cant go buy ortisan

One of the best natural laxative is banana, which is very high in fiber and potassium. Bran and prunes are also very helpful and has been used for ages.Aged garlic (Kyolic) is also a good laxative and have many other healing properties.

coffee, papayas, prunes, sweet potatoes, cherries

As well as the suggestions already offered, here are a few more hints to help deal with constipation:A large glass of warm water with the juice of up to half a lemon first thing in the morning, followed by carrot, parsley and celery juice. Reduce dairy products, wheat-based products (including bran - use rice bran or oat bran, not wheat bran)Increase water consumption (can add lemon juice to make it more palatable), and exercise (even deep, abdominal breathing can help)Eat lots of fruit and vegetables and minimise processed foods.Abdominal massage - making sure you go up the right hand side, from right to left just under the ribs and down the left hand side.Minimise tea drinking. (Tea is astringent and reduces intestinal juices)Eat bitter foods before meals eg grapefruit, rocket, endive (all our aperatifs are bitter) - bitter tasting foods stimulate the production of the hormone gastrin, which turns on the digestive system, secreting more bile which acts as a natural laxative.Take a large teaspoon of psyllium husks in a glass of warmish water, with another glass of water, before bed.Hope this helps.

WATER!

Prunes.
Any fresh fruits/veggies act as fiber.
Avoid bananas.

coconut juice from a young coconut

When I eat cooked millet everyday I have found that it keeps me very regular. I've found when I eat red meat I am constipated.

Grape Nuts, beans (all kinds eaten regularly), corn, peas, nuts, oatmeal, salad, apples (with the peel). All will work to keep you regular. Pears, cherries and tomatoes with the skins on can help, too.You can also buy Shaklee's Herb Lax which is all natural and will keep your colon very healthy and keep toxins from building up on the colon wall which contributes to colon cancer.Everyone is different so what might work well on one person may not work as well on another but the apple with the peel should do a good job as it acts like a roto-rooter in your colon and will prevent diverticulitis. My niece can drink tons of orange juice and have no problems with her bowls but if I drink too much, I end up with diarrhea.You also want to be careful about getting too much of these in your system or you could end up with colitis and end up having to go to the doctor to get it under control. Be sure and eat bananas to keep potassium in your system anytime you hae diarrhea, just don't eat them too often (although they don't work on me like they do some)Many good suggestions on here ~ see what works best for you.

a couple of teaspoons of coconut oil will do the trick every time in a natural non violent way. Make sure though that its not hydrogenated, but the good stuff from Hippocrates Health Centre Australia 07 55302860. don't know about oranges but trust me this oil works and has other wonderful beneifits. Look into it, you won't be sorry.

What feng shui tools can I use to divert bad energy?

2009-08-05T22:46:00.003-07:00

I share an office with an unpleasant co-worker, and it has created a very negative energy. What are some simple things I can do in my office to help? We sit with our backs to each other (the only way the office can be arranged) and there is a dividing wall that our backs face. I have a window to my left (it is to the right of her). To my immediate right is a door into another office (a VERY pleasant office with good energy) and kitty-corner to that is the door to the hallway.
Answer:
To improve harmony and auspicious chi within your work area, try using/placing a Tibetan Harmony Mandala near your work desk. Image of it here: http://www.smilingbamboo.com/prodbyviewd...Additionally, you might want to check your auspicious/inauspicious directions which are dictated by your Kua number. That way, you can know whether to remedy or enhance a certain spot/direction you are facing: http://www.smilingbamboo.com/feng-shui-k...Hope this info helps!

tape a mirror to inside of a drawer that faces her back..
Stick a line of red tape in the same drawer (color masking tape with a red marker).
Put a small bell on your desk and ring it when it gets to unpleasant. (it can just be a very tiny one so that you don't disturb others).
Try putting a plant on your desk, Tape a green triangle under your phone.
take a salt package and discreetly put it around your work area.
(salt repells negativity).
Obviously if anyone sees you doing this stuff they will react kinda oddly. But try to find a time when no one is around.
Good luck.
Blessings

I agree with the other answerer about a mirror - this will bounce back any negative energy and vibes back to your co-worker. Another discreet thing you could use would be a fairly good sized purple amethyst crystal - it could be used as a 'paper weight' but in effect is actually excellent for absorbing negativity. I would also recommend visualising a blue or purple wall of protection around you each day - this will only take a minute, and just do it first thing in the morning - it will be in place all day and I promise, it really works! Good luck.http://www.moonslipper.com/fengshui.html...

What exactly is it about bee pollen that gives one energy?

2009-08-05T22:46:00.002-07:00

Answer:
And if you believe bee pollen is excellent, one should use Royal Jelly, the food of the Queen.

Bee pollen is among the oldest known dietary supplements. Its use as a rejuvenator and medicine date back to the early Egyptians and ancient Chinese. It has been called many things, from a fountain of youth to an "ambrosia of the gods." The Greek physician Hippocrates, sometimes called the father of modern medicine, used it as a healing substance 2,500 years ago. It is rich in vitamins, especially B vitamins, and contains trace amounts of minerals, elements, amino acids, and enzymes.The pollen is composed of 55% carbohydrates, 35% protein, 3% minerals and vitamins, 2% fatty acids, and 5% other substances. It contains very small amounts of many substances considered to be antioxidants, including betacarotene, vitamins C and E, lycopene, selenium, and flavonoids.

What exactly does "standardized herbs" mean?

2009-08-05T22:46:00.001-07:00

I'm looking for an alternative method for menopause systems. A friend is pushing a website on me that sells herbal products but I do not see any mention of "standarized". How important is this?
Answer:
Standardized herbs guarantee a certain amount of the "active ingredient" of an herb, or are the "active ingredient" isolated from herbs. The problem is that a single herb has hundreds of ingredients that help to make the herb medicine more effective and free of harmful side effects. Many of these chemical constituents are not even well understood by science, but still play a role in the plants healing attributes.You would do better to look for high quality herbs that are artfully combined by a knowledgeable herbalist, otherwise, you are just one step away from pharmaceuticals. You may have a qualified health care professional trained in herbs that can give you advice in your community.

Standardized herbs are more trustworth for providing with a consistent "dose" each time you use them. Standardized herbs are usually alcohol extracts and some freeze drying methods allow for standarized processing. In contrast, bulk herbs are as random as nature itself (or at least as seemingly random). That doesn't mean that have no value but certain herbal effects may be harder to control if you're dealing with bulk herbs.Ground, capsulized herbs are generally of a poor quality. They are very convenient but the grinding process exposes them to too much oxygen.

contrary to popular belief, it is bad.It takes a specific chemicals and alters it so that the same amount is in each dose as plants may vary in the amount they have; however, it is bad because herbal plants that have been traditionally used for centuries work because they work synergistically with other chemicals and nutrients in the plant many of which have not been discovered yet..When one alters God's perfect formula contained within the plant they alter how well it works and lose important side chemicals.I recommend a company who does not believe in standardizing herbs such as St John's wort, and uses the full plant as nature made it. Two great companies are herbpharm and the formulas of Dr Richard Shultze. Be sure to not use capsules as they are the worse way to take herbs, Use an herbal tincture as they are most absorbable and easier to take than teas and also pull more pytochemicals that cure and prevent disease from the herb. Also only use organic or wildcrafted herbs (as found in the wilds) as these have 7-10 times more important chemicals than the cheaper for the manufacturer conventional herbs.Best--Dr Richard Schulze ( herbdoc.com ) extremely potent see his piece why our herbs are the best.2nd best making your own. It is easy.using bulk herbs or fresh herbs..for how (plus fabulous other videos by him) go to google videos and type in Richard Schulze (about page 3 or 4) there he shows how to make herbal tincture it is very easy and they will be ten times better than 98% of the things on the market3. herbpharm brand..very excellent company found at many health food stores/co-ops and onlineps--left out of the video above is to finish put a cotton cloth over a pan gather up like a hobo bundle after pouring contents of the formula in twist a few times and squeeze out all the liquid into the bowl. Then put in a glass jar like a mayo jar or whatever and be sure to label with the contents immediately. Put an expiration date 5 years from the date squeezed (but Schultze has tried formulas 75 years old and found them just as good. I go over the 5 years myself. Place in a dark place or put in a paper bag or paint the outside of the bottle or use brown or blue glass as light harms it. Take some and put in a tincture bottle (usually blue or brown 1 or 2 ounce bottle with an eyedropper top and label, The dose for a 150 pound person is 2 dropperfuls (60 drops) for a 150 lb person 3-5 times a day depending on severity of the condition. For smaller people and chilfdren and pet and overweight people (like 300 lb pereson would double and 75 lb person would cut in half) use clark's rule.Also for menopause see Schulze's products as they excellent

What exactly are the contents found after a colon cleanse?

2009-08-05T22:46:00.000-07:00

theres a website: blessedherbs.com that show some really gross photos of what people have pushed out after doing one of their colon cleanses. i wonder what exactly is in that gross stuff. also, do u think its for real?
Answer:
The waste in your colon... and the amount of weight you can lose with a colon cleanse depends on how much matter is left in your intestines. The average person has 5-20 pounds of matter, so you can lose a decent amount. For colon cleansing home remedies, the best thing would be going for juice fasting for 3- 5 days or eat a diet high in fiber and drink your recommended amount of water.
For colon cleansing products, Cellular Research, Dr. Natura, Dr. Schulze, Enuvia, Health Plus, Nature's Secret and Oxy-Powder are quite among popular among the industry. http://www.cleansecolonblog.com/... is a blog that review colon cleanse product, colon cleanse home remedies and more.

As long as there is nothing looking at you, you are OK.

It is an accumulation of toxins and chemicals that we inhale and ingest everyday and our bodies are not capable of eliminating. They accumulate in our cells (especially fat cells) and remain stored for an indefinite length of time causing health problems. It is also worms and parasites.Check out the "picture gallery" at www.drnatura.com. This is the product I used. I did the colonix and detox for 30 days. I can honestly say that I didn't pass anything unusual but my girlfriend who used the same product said she did pass these ugly things. I guess you never know until you try!

What ever happened to Neal Deoul? Did he die of his own Prostate Cancer?

2009-08-05T22:45:00.002-07:00

Answer:
No.The unexpected struck in January of 1999. As the case against Deoul unfolded in court, Deoul himself was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.It was a shocking and ironic development that would put courtroom testimony about alternative cancer therapy to the ultimate test -- and expose how badly tilted the scales of justice can be in the so-called "war against cancer."While prosecutors and defense attorneys battled, Deoul quietly and confidently turned to Cesium %26 T-UP concentrated aloe, his own products, for treatment of his prostate cancer.His doctors were shocked. They protested loudly and predicted the worst if Deoul continued to refuse surgery, radiation and other standard therapies.Instead, Deoul's PSA plummeted. His condition improved taking his own medicine.Deoul's Battle:
In Deoul's case, the measures of prostate cancer activity in his body dropped dramatically after completing the Cesium/ T-UP treatment regimen.When he was first diagnosed in January of 1999 his PSA level was 8.1 complicated by a Gleason score of 7. The two numbers combined indicated a highly aggressive prostate cancer.But by October of that year, after treatment, (i.e. 3 Cesium pills per day for six weeks) his PSA dropped to 3.7. No other therapies were used.Meanwhile, Deoul continues to lead a completely normal life. He has not suffered the scarring of surgery or the debilitation of radiation - or devastating side effects like erectile dysfunction or incontinence.Unfortunately, Deoul's successful treatment in the real world was not mirrored in the courtroom. A Maryland Administrative Law Judge found Deoul and T-UP, Inc. guilty of violating Maryland's consumer protection statutes.
