Being high on pot is better than being sober?

Question 1
Being high on pot is better than being sober?...  I think so; If I could go my whole life on weed I would. That's how great it is. Its such a rush; it lifts my mood about 10,000 feet in a matter of minutes. Do you agree?

Answers
1)   unless you're getting the shit for free bro then live it up. If you arent... well get a job :P - Jake

2)   I agree.
Everything is better stoned. Food, sex, driving, just doing whatever, it's all so much more fun and more enjoyable. - dayonedopefree

3)   Careful though, that can also be the problem.

This is why its so habit forming.

Moderation is the key, to much of a good thing isn't good at all.

and remember what D.A.R.E. stands for..

4)   Trust me you can only smoke so much pot before it starts to get boring and expensive. It is best use it a few times a week instead of all day everyday. You will get higher and spend a fraction of the money. - HELP ME

5)   It is definitely fun but I wouldn't want to live my life high or anything. It would be too strange and I don't get the weed euphoria everyone else talks about...I wonder why. It is a good time though and I love eating and watching movies when high. I always get a lot of visual trips though so it can be pretty cool. - Katie

6)   WEed bein high is better - Ryan Dudeson

Question 2
What is the best way to stop smoking?...  How did you stop this damn habit. Which technique helped you most? Is there any good alternative medicine which will help me to stop smoking?

Answers
1)   it doesnt matter what product you use so much as it matters how many reasons you have to want to quit, the more reasons you have and determination the easier, that being said the thing that helped me the most was the gum, it gives you a good nicotine fix that kinda stings in a good way, i used it for just 3 weeks and was able to quit - liftinguy

2)   The best way is to remove the cigarette from your mouth, throw them away, don't buy more. And refuse cigarettes from others - KingCroesus

3)   I just stopped. Every cigarette you have just extends the addiction. Stay away from people that smoke and try your best not to be in areas that smell like smoke. You will feel sick for a week but it is worth it. I was addicted for 4 years and once i decided i didnt want to smoke and realized the damage it had done, i just stopped. It was hell for a few days, but it was worth it overall. Just be strong and stay away from smokers for a while. - HELP ME

4)   In my opinion, smoking is a self habit...and medicine is just temporary.

Anytime you feel like smoking, chew on gum :] - Skyhigh

5)   I smoked for 20 years and it wrecked my lungs (no cancer thankfully). I got so tired of Mistress Nicotine I just quit. When the going got really tough I used some nicorette gum, but a lot of people can't stand the stuff and if you chew it like regular gum it will make you sick. - Cranky Mechanic

6)   It was really east for me to quit smoking. What I did was smoked my very last cig at night before I went to bed and then when I woke up I didn't smoke at all that day. I haven't smoked since. - Bug

Question 4
What are some good home remedies for an upset stomach?...  I woke up today feeling queesy, but got up and went to class. In the middle of class, i started to feel sick and ran out to vomit. Been out all day because had class and rehearsal. Puked once more and had a little bit of diarrhea, but not severe. Just got home and havent been sick in a few hours. Now i just have a bad stomach ache, but dont feel nauseous

Answers
1)   sprite, 7 up or any clear pop
or water mixed with a little salt - chuck 1232

2)   dont know about home remedies but a product called ENO works wicked for this sort if stuff.
its in a little jar - a white powder you add with water an dit fizz's up in your stomach.

all supermarkets and local stores sell it

try it ! - koolspot

3)   Pepto Bismol - the yuky pink stuff.

Or mix 2 tablespoons of clear syrup in 1 cup of orange juice and then take 1 teaspoon full every 15 minutes until the nausia goes away. - Seven

4)   Sounds like just a little stomach bug or you ate something that didn't agree with you. And sounds like you're already getting better, too.

Have you tried eating anything? Even though your stomach HURTS, you should try a few bites of dry toast or saltine crackers. If it stays down (!) have a few more bites. And drink a bit of something, too.

It's entirely normal to have a stomach ache after an episode or two of vomiting/diarrhea. You CAN take Tylenol (or another pain reliever, though Tylenol is usually less likely to CAUSE stomach irritation) for the pain. - *Sombra*

5)   My mom always make hot tea for me and it always soothe my stomach. If not just hot water. Or any home made soup :]

Idunno but whenever I have stomach aches, i sit on the toilet for a really long time still I poop something out.

Hope you feel better!! ^___^ - Skyhigh

Question 5
an 8 week olo child, who is breastfeeding is constipated...what is an alternative to the doctor?...  

Answers
1)   Is the baby only taking breast milk and no other supplements? How often if the baby passing stool? Not all babies poop every day. A baby that is constipated needs to be seen by a public health nurse if you do not want to take it to a physician. There are other ways to stimulate a bowel movement but identifying the reason for the constipation is the first order of business. - Cynthia

2)   veterinarian, i know u think im joking but they know the same things doctors know too. Just ask them, they'll give you an answer. But would you really risk your 8 week old? Just see the doctor bro... - Jake

3)   If you have insurance, they may have a free nurse line you can call. Try calling the customer service number on your insurance card and they can direct you.

Some local hospitals might have free nurse hotlines as well, so you could try that also. - Goldbricker

4)   if there is something wrong with your child then dont even hesitate to go to the doctor. Would you rather it die and you save 100 bucks? How would you feel if you found out your parents didnt take you to the docs while you were an infant when something was wrong with you? And ofcourse how in te world do you know if your baby is constipated? dont they poop like 8 times a day?? - Ted Monroe

5)   What symptoms are you going by the say that the baby is constipated? Is he straining to pass
stool? How many dirty diapers is he having per day? Some babies only stool every 3 days.

One thing you can try is getting a rectal temperature. make sure to use lubricant and only insert the thermometer in the rectum about 1/2 inch. Once it's in, you can wiggle it around a little, then give him a little bit to see if it works. That does work for most babies, especially breastfed ones.

You don't want to give a baby a suppository or enema without consulting a health care provider. Especially in a baby that young it could indicate and intestinal or metabolic disorder. If it is a one-time occurrence, then don't worry, but if is a chronic problem he does need to be seen in a clinic. - twinkiesue

How many bowls are in a ounce of weed?

Question 1
How many bowls are in a ounce of weed?...  
ok a metal pipe kinda deep

Answers
1)   Depends on the size of the bowl. - Caroline

2)   Depends on the size of your bowl - Dunson41

3)   Depends on how big the bowl is. - I Bent My Wookie

4)   About 2 to 5 years in jail - MAN in a BOX

5)   i live in the UK if it makes any difference but we never measure it in bowls? and ive never heard the term bowl before, other than on the internet. tell me what it is and i may be able to estimate - aristocat

6)   Lolz. An ounce is about 28.3 grams. A gram is usually at least 3 big bowls, maybe more. So you'll probably get at least 85 bowls. If its a small bowl you can get up to maybe 5 bowls from a gram, so thats over 130 bowls.

Either way, an ounce is a bunch of bowls!

Unless of course you mean a bowl to eat soup out of. Then an ounce is 1-2 bowls, haha.

EDIT: A "bowl" just means the amount of weed you need to pack your pipe. Its different for every pipe. - Hector S

7)   Any ounce you get will (or should) weigh 28 grams. The .35 is dropped. It just makes the whole thing easier to deal with whole numbers. 8th- 3.5 grams 1/4- 7 grams, 1/2- 14 grams and so on. So if say your bowl can hold .5 gram and there is 28 grams to an ounce then you would be able to get ideally 56 bowls out of it. But thats not taking into consideration what quality of herb you are getting. If your getting some schwag that has a lot of stems and seeds that number will decrease. If you go with headies or some high quality stuff you have way more yield because there are no seeds and thinner stems and bigger buds. - SourMashIVXX

Question 2
Natural remedies for a toothache?...  My boyfriend is suffering from a severe toothache and he doesn't have neither the insurance nor the money to get it removed. I'm hoping someone can offer more natural, at home remedies to soothe his pain. We've tried cloves, and pain medicine with no avail. Please help.

Answers
1)   Okay the pain is almost certainly being cause by either an infection or a cavity where the nerves are exposed. Both of these require a dentist visit. An infection needs antibiotics and a cavity needs filling. It is expensive and unpleasant but there is no way around it. Toothaches simply don't just go away. Clove bud oil and pain killers are temporary solutions to help with the pain until you get into the dentist.

If he is in that much pain isn't worth it. I promise it will not go away by itself or with any medicines you have access to, natural or otherwise. - Emma Baird

2)   Someone once told me that if you have health insurance but not dental insurance when it gets bad enough you can go to the emergency room and they will pull it. - Pat

3)   This might not sound like the best alternative, but the only thing I can think of is for him to pull it out himself. It'll hurt like hell, but there really aren't any natural remedies for toothache.

He just has to do it quickly, then it won't hurt so much. - Jen Turner

4)   I would recommend unrefined salt (1-2 Tablespoons) & vitamin C (which will also help cut the saltiness & help the nerve also) in warm water & held in the mouth as long as possible. - Cindy in Texas

5)   As a purely temporary pain relief the only thing I found to help was Clove Oil. However, I bought a second bottle of the same brand some time later and it had much less effect.

when it did work it had a numbing effect which was heavan. This is also dangerous. Just because the pain goes does not mean that the problem goes away. The tooth needs to go. I've also heard that untreated dental problems can cause infections elsewhere in the body but that is hearsay and to be taken lightly. - Angelhil

6)   Cayenne pepper is supposed to be a natural pain reliever. Also as someone mentioned, nerves may be involved so actually b vitamins may help along with vitamin c but it might take a few days. But anytime nerves are involved b vitamins is the way to go. - Amy W

2)   Let's just say that you buy from the street and a cop pulls you over and finds the marijuana. If you show your ID you will be off the hook, however, for your friend? Not so lucky. - wushu151

3)   It's illegal for both of you. Not sure why it would matter though. I wouldn't let the law get in the way of acquiring my medicine. - Kevin

Question 4
what is the best herbal sleep aid?...  

Answers
1)   i found this quite useful,...

HOPS PILLOW FOR INSOMNIA

For a pillow about 32 x 23 cm:
4 handfuls dried hops flowers
4 handfuls dried lavender flowers
1. To dry the hops and lavender yourself, tie them in bunches and hang upside down in a well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight for 2 weeks. Alternatively, place in a low oven (about 100C) for 30 minutes or so until dry and crispy. Strip the flowers off the larger or harder stalks.
2. Put equal handfuls of dried hops and lavender flowers into a cotton pillowcase, and seal the end.

USE: Place the pillow under or beside your head to induce sleep. - orcat

2)   Herb, try Garlic. If you're into Amino Acids, try Tryptophan. - Narutonumberone

3)   WEEd - Terrence Johnson

4)   Do NOT smoke weed to sleep as it does not work. Some IGNORANT person left that suggestion.

Depending on your age... there are at least three products you can use to induce sound sleep for at least seven hours ... uninterrupted, natural products

Your Adrenal glands may be shot... again it depends on your age.

Your Melatonin may be low, again you age and lifestyle

Without knowing you or your age... Gaba is EXCELLENT
and
a comprehensive good product is by Source Naturals... Night Rest with Melatonin. Do not buy the one with Velarian Root. Go to Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage, Vitamin Shoppe ... all the best! - ALL_Truth

Question 3
Foods to cure headaches?...  or anything else thats not medicine
thats not food.. and im breastfeeding if that counts

Answers
1)   something delightful - John

2)   Chamomile tea works wonders. I struggle some days with headaches and god forbid a migraine but chamomile tea relaxes you and that combined with a dark room and a rest for an hour no more works wonders :) - Confused10

3)   Food Therapy:
Try having a cup of coffee, advises Fred Sheftell, M.D., co-founder and co-director of the New England Center for Headaches in Stanford, Connecticut. He says that caffeine constricts blood vessels and is an ingredient in many pain relievers.

In fact, studies show that having a cup of coffee or tea can boost the pain-relieving powers of aspirin and other such products by about one-third.

Juice Therapy:
"The most common cause of headaches are constipation and liver malfunction," says Eve Campanelli, Ph.D., a holistic family practitioner in Beverly Hills, California.

For those prone to headaches, Dr. Campanelli recommends twice-daily doses of apple-spinach juice for its gentle laxative qualities. "Mix one ounce of spinach juice into eight ounces of apple juice, and you'll never taste the spinach," she promises.

Once constipation has been cleared up, Dr. Campanelli advises getting the liver moving with a blend of 8 ounces of carrot juice, 1 ounce of beet juice, 4 ounces of celery juice and 1/2 to 1 ounce of parsley juice.

"Drinking this juice once or twice a day helps the liver filter out toxins more effectively, resulting in fewer headaches," explains Dr. Campanelli.

See your doctor if your headaches persist, she adds. - BatMan@Alt/Med

4)   Avoid cold items like curd, ice-creams, cold-water and cold-drinks. Do not use cold water for baths. Also don’t expose yourself to cold climatic conditions as this may aggravate your headache.
An easily available Indian sweet JALEBI, is of great help in headache. Immerse 2 to 3 Jalebis in a glass of warm milk for a few minutes, and then drink this mixture once or twice a day. - Saiprasad B

5)   Cannabis is the best,
but not during breastfeeding, it will pass.

How do you convince somebody that Homeopathy doesn't work?

Question 1
How do you convince somebody that Homeopathy doesn't work?...  All the evidence is against it. Clinical trials have consistently shown that homeopathic remedies are no better than placebos. The discipline is as flawed and outdated as Creation Science. So how do you persuade somebody it's a load of bull?

Answers
1)   Why would you want to? Even if it is a placebo (and I really do not agree with that) who cares if it works? - Jeroen Wijnands

2)   There are too many people who are just ignorant about anything to do with science. Otherwise seemingly intelligent people carry their ignorance as a proud marker on their sleeve for all to see.

Politicians, broadcasters, business managers all proudly state they know nothing about science or engineering. They don't say the same about the arts, they all feign interest and can BS about arts - just look at people like Melvin Bragg as an example of what I'm talking about.

Once people become proud of their ignorance and speak out about it, then it leads others to follow them. This then leads to the growth of any scammer willing to take money off people just because they sound plausible - even though it's a load of tosh. Critical thinking is not encouraged when it comes to engineering and science, yet if the same ignorance was shown about the arts eyebrows would be raised.

This leads to the growth of the anti-vaxers who are generally celebrities who should know better, faith healing, fake science in alt-meds, religion is also linked in hence the eastern mythical 'medicine'. I don't know what the answer is, just keep plugging away and keep on pushing known science and real knowledge to counteract the kooks and the scammers.

"Ummm yeah better not tell them about Charles Darwin's experiments about the effects of homoepathic remedies on the flesh eating droseria plant compared to plain water proving homoepathic substances do indeed have something in the water or the fact that Darwin suffered 10 years of extreme ill health and was back to full health after 16 weeks of treatment by a homeopathic doctor. Yeah better not tell those facts i think."

Utter BS!

All of Darwin's work is online now, and we can see exactly what he thinks about it in a letter he wrote after visiting a friend of his.

"You speak about Homœopathy; which is a subject which makes me more wrath, even than does Clair-voyance: clairvoyance so transcends belief, that one’s ordinary faculties are put out of question, but in Homœopathy common sense & common observation come into play, & both these must go to the Dogs, if the infinetesimal doses have any effect whatever. How true is a remark I saw the other day by Quetelet, in respect to evidence of curative processes, viz that no one knows in disease what is the simple result of nothing being done, as a standard with which to compare Homœopathy & all other such things. It is a sad flaw, I cannot but think in my beloved Dr Gully, that he believes in everything— when his daughter was very ill, he had a clair-voyant girl to report on internal changes, a mesmerist to put her to sleep—an homœopathist, viz Dr. Chapman; & himself as Hydropathist! & the girl recovered."

All this came darwin stuff came about from Dana Ullman who is a semi-regular poster on the JREF forums (go and check them out, they are fun) where he gets soundly trashed every time he rears his head. - Nitram

3)   When all else fails, try ridicule. The quacks hate it.

-------
EDITY: @redangel - thats not true, Darwin experienced many relapses of digestive and skin symptoms throughout his life after his treatment. In any case you have no evidence that the homeopathy helped him; correlation does not necessarily imply causation, we have no idea what his condition was, and Darwin always remained skeptical of homeopathy.

Altie appeal to authority FAIL. - Gary Y

4)   Ummm yeah better not tell them about Charles Darwin's experiments about the effects of homeopathic remedies on the flesh eating droseria plant that prove homeopathic substances do indeed have something in the water or the fact that Darwin suffered 10 years of extreme ill health and was back to full health after 16 weeks of treatment by a homeopathic doctor. Yeah better not tell those facts i think. - ƦєdAиgєℓ

5)   Do an overdose experiment. Take a homeopathic remedy and drink all of it in front of the person you're trying to convince. If there is something to homeopathy as quacks claim, then you should get bad reactions from an overdose. When you end up fine with nothing happening to you, that should hopefully convince someone that homeopathy is just water.

@Red Angel: Great anecdote! However, can it be more valid than the meta-analyses that showed homeopathy is not effective? That's all you alties can give anyway, anecdotes. - angrydoc

6)   You can't convince those who stubbornly believe that homoeopathy works, and scientific data are made up by the conspiring conventional medical establishment. But for those who are willing to step out of their boxes and be open minded you might use a two step approach.
First you have to explain to them that science per se in no way is biased against homoeopathy or any other alternative treatment. It is just a tool one can use too see if there is an effect or not. And then you can go on to present them with actual data. Both of these points are presented in an easy understandable way in a book by Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst titled "Trick or treatment". - JLI

7)   Force them to actually take a few chemistry classes.

Seriously, like religion, homeopathy will always exist. Evidence isn't important to these people. It does not matter how much data is presented to them, they are never going to change their position. - Rhianna

8)   There is really nothing to convice.
The only thing you convinced me of by asking this question is that you are spiritually retarded.

Of course it's your birthright to be spiritually retarded,
but why bothering other people with it?

Maybe try to find out for yourself why it irritates YOU?
That could be a key to solving your problems. - SmartAss

Question 4
What is good for ear wax?...  

Answers
1)   it feels gross (warning)

but it works and is recommended by doctors. pour a small amount od hydrogen peroxide in your ear. let it bubble in there a few seconds. till your head, let it pour out and dry your ear with a clean towel. it breaks up the wax. do that once a week - jenisisgrafix

2)   a heavy cold. - Nitram

3)   Ear wax should naturally exit the ear channel over time, but you're obviously having problems? Do you just feel its a problem or are you having hearing difficulties? Are you sure it's an ear wax issue?

If ear wax - there is no need to buy over the counter remedies... a few drops of (body temperature) olive oil will help soften and loosen ear wax. You can either keep your head to one side for 20 mins or plug the ear with a bit of cotton wool/tissue to prevent the olive oil spilling out.

All the best ear doctors will tell you NOT to use cotton-buds (Q-Tips) in your ears as this can often compound the wax and make it more difficult to remove naturally, not to mention the damage you can do to the ear drum, etc. - Maryanne L

4)   a while ago i was virtually deaf in one ear due to a build up of wax. so i went to the chemist and asked if they had a syringe, i told her what it was for and she gave it to me free. i went home and filled a bowl with warm soapy water drew the water into the syringe and squirted it into my ear while holding my head on one side over the bowl. this cleared the wax better than any over the counter drops you can buy. i just used a drop of ordinary washing up liquid in the warm water and it worked a treat. this is kind of what they do when you get your ears syringed. - Michelle

5)   Those little ear candles you can buy! - OLLY605!

6)   Either the suggestion for the warm water and liquid soap or the hydrogen peroxide will work fine, I would only additionally suggest a couple drops of oil (either mineral oil such as baby oil, or olive oil) in the ear a couple hours earlier to help soften the wax first. - Tink

Should I go to the Doctor?

Question 1
Should I go to the Doctor?...  Okay so i recently had a cold, my mom took me to the doctor to et some medication so it'll get better faster. Right now I feel that in a day or two it'll get better. Now she's telling me that I've got to go to the Doctor AGAIN! I told her there is no need because in a day or two it'll get better!

All i have is an itchy throat, no coughing and a little bit of snot. Should I still go to the Doctor? Or should I not?

Answers
1)   Don't bother, unless it gets worse. - Khade Lion

2)   no just rest - 123

3)   you should always go for a follow up appointment just so you are 100% sure... just because your gut says "im getting better" doesn't mean you actually are - Shaggy

4)   I think u shud obey your mom coz mom iz alwayz right - ruhkhshinda

5)   If it is just a cold, the doctor cannot do anything. There is no cure for the common cold. If you develop a secondary infection, like a chest infection then you will need antibiotics. But you would have symptoms - wheezy crackly chest, bad cough with sputum, fever, etc. - Gary Y

6)   Unless the doctor specifically asked you to follow up with him there might be no need to do so. Did your doctor tell your mother to bring you in for a follow up? What was the diagnosis anyway? - angrydoc

Question 2
has anyone used the power balance bracelet? does it work? is it also a scam such as irenew?...  has anyone used the power balance bracelet? does it work? is it also a scam as they say is irenew? which one is better? which one is real? please answer ONLY you have tried it yourself. Thanks!

Answers
1)   the claimed mechanisms as to how these "energy" products work go against basic human biology. in short it's a scam, your body doesn't respond to electrical currents by healing or anything like that, it can trigger muscle contractions but thats it, and i extremely doubt that the bracelet applies any energy let alone enough to do that.

and the problem with only asking people who tried it is that they aren't scientists, they only have one data point, "did i feel better" they don't know about weather or not the bracelet was truly effecting them, they just know "i put on the bracelet, and later i got better" but you could say that about many things. so simply looking for testimonials, isn't useful at all. a more useful approach is to look at the science, does the claims match what we have learned about how the body works? has the product been tested in a controlled, blinded, manner? and more often then not the answer for both is "No" - evirustheslaye

2)   Green Tea. - gangadharan nair

3)   Buying tea solely based on health benefit is not usually a good idea. Companies that sell lower grade or not fresh loose leaf and bagged teas typically market their teas as healthy, without providing important information like where it was picked, when it was harvested, etc.

As far as different types of tea goes, it depends on what you're looking for. You can read about the different health effects on wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_tea White, yellow, green, oolong, black, pu-erh all have some types of health benfits, but those benfits vary. As far as what's most beneficial, I'd lean towards green and white. green when you want caffiene, white when you don't.

All of these are good places to buy tea from. - Pek III: Return of the Pek

4)   Hi.

There isn't one tea more beneficial than the rest. It totally depends on what you need.

If you need to cut down on caffeine, then the best tea would be white or most herbal teas.
If you want more energy, than it's black tea or alfalfa tea.

If you want to lose weight, you want teas that boost your metabolism like oolong tea, and teas that supress appetite like acai tea.

If you want to cure a cold, elderberry tea is perfect. For liver function improvement, the best is dandelion tea.

The list is enormous... and possibilities imense. - Mary

5)   As well as green and white ordinary teas, rooibos tea and honeybush teas (from S Africa) are known to be pretty good antioxidant-wise too, and naturally caffeine free. And you can get green (unfermented) of these too. Have not personally tried the honeybush teas as of yet but really like rooibos teas.

The main antioxidants in rooibos tea (Aspalathus linearis) are aspalathin and nothofagin, lesser amounts of isoorientin, orientin and rutin.
The main antioxidants in honeybush (Cyclopia intermedia) include mangiferin, hesperitin and isokuranetin.
The main antioxidant in ordinary tea (Camellia sinensis), particularly green and white are epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), catechin, epicatechin, gallocatechin and epicatechin gallate.

These have some unique potential therapeutic properties in their own right. EGCG (high levels in Camellia sinensis green) tea is according to one study the more potent against lipid peroxidation. Aspalathin (high levels in rooibos tea) was the most potent free radical scavenger. For all, the unfermented (green) teas have the most antioxidants.

[you can use Pubmed ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ ) to view more abstracts pertaining to the various teas research, including specific antioxidants]
Cannot really comment on companies. If you are not sensitive to caffeine, you might like to incorporate green and white teas, and rooibos teas into your daily antioxidant intake..to get benefit from the unique antioxidant of each. All supermarkets sell these....including green and red (fermented) rooibos.

There are other teas, including the Chungtaejeon [Korean] tea.. You might like to do some research on the more unusual teas......which also includes the honeybush teas from S Africa. Of course there are the herbal teas and fruity teas too...these are available in all supermarkets.

Hope that is of some help or interest.

Question 4
Homeopathic cure for frostbite.?...  I got frostbite on a recent trip to (insert somewhere cold) and I need a cure. Some Doctors tried to take me to a hospital but that was just so that they could get money from the evil something company or grant something something.

Anyway. Ice and snow caused my condition and I know that Like cures Like in homeopathy. If something causes a condition it will also cure it.

My problem is I just can't figure out how to make a homeopathic remedy from those raw ingredients...Help?

Answers
1)   Take a gallon of the purest water you have. Take it outside into the cold. Shake the container of water (preferably open to the cold). Oh wait, the water froze. Damn it!


You should do quantum elbowology instead, it's super effective like a pokemon and the practitioners aren't tainted by the corrupt practices of having proof and disregarding feelings and shit. - angrydoc

2)   Very wise to avoid the hospital. I'd much rather lose body parts to cryogenic amputation than see the smug look on those doctors faces when they save a limb.

The homeopathic remedy for frostbite is scientifically proven to work better than anything, ever. Just ask anyone!

Take 40 litres of the same snow or ice that caused the condition, heat it up to body temperature, bounce it off an old bible a few dozen times, then immerse the afflicted appendage in the water while maintaining the temperature.

You will be miraculously cured through the power of homeopathy! If you don't believe me then try it next time you get frostbite, after all, what have you to lose? (Apart from fingers, toes, ears, a foot etc). - dave

3)   Unfortunately the overwhelming mass of evidence is that homeopathy is absolutely useless, having no more effect than a placebo. - Dr Frank

4)   Obviously, as like cures like you need to be swallowing specially prepared ice cubes. Add ice into pure water, shake as per requirements. Then take that and add into more pure water and repeat.

After 30 times you can then tip the vials into small trays and place in the freezer. When properly frozen remove and swallow 5 per hour for the next 2 weeks. - Nitram

5)   There is no homeopathic treatment for frostbite. I think you will find that in most cases the cure is amputation. - LillyB

Cranberry juice didn't help heading to the er but will it dilute urine and show no infection?...  I have been drinking cranberry juice not tons but enough to hopefully help with the pain. I have a long history of UTIs/infections. I also have a history of stones. I started drinking cranberry juice to help but I am concerned now that when they do the urine test it will be diluted and they will see nothing wrong. Will it still show infection?

Answers
1)   most likely you are gonna wait in ER for a while. If you had so much fluid in you then your bladder emties about every 15 minutes that is if you can pee normally. so by the time you want to give them a sample, it will not be diluted. the problem is that you may wash off the infectin by too much peeing. buy one of those over the counter thingy that can test to see if this is a UTI or not. it will save you some money and a trip to ER. hope you feel better. - medcenman

2)   im not sure about your case, but all i know is that cranberry juice is really good for you. It does help clean out your urinary system. i started drinking it to get rid of my bad acne and its working - Maggie

3)   Yes, ur infection will still show.... cranberry juice is suggested to drink n yes is great 4 u.... I drink it every chance I can..... but when I have a UTI if I drink anything except water including cranberry juice it makes my symptoms worse.... They used to b only pill on the market u could get over the counter for UTI's n it would clear it up... (believe it was called URISTAT... tha's all I use to use) the FDA has since removed it in the last 2 yrs... my quess is because it did work n the government wasn't happy that they didn't get a cut of the profits ... so they probably bought them out n removed it from market.... (this happens ALL the time in the USA ... it's striffeling really!!!) Now not only does AZO Standard NOT work for me but the box says it doesn't (only on symptoms not problem) n so did my dr the last time I had to get a script so Uncle Sam Could have a slice.....

Answers
1)   Regularry in its normal forms, no, but there are recephies with optional added codeine forms.

In some formulations, paracetamol is combined with the opioid codeine, sometimes referred to as co-codamol (BAN). In the United States and Canada, this is marketed under the name of Tylenol #1/2/3/4, which contain 8–10 mg, 15 mg, 30 mg, and 60 mg of codeine, respectively. - Dexxter

2)   They are separate. - Spike

4)   They are both to separate tablets.
normal paracetamol doesn't contain codeine. - Butterfly

5)   No, it's two separate drugs. They are both analgesics. Codeine is an opiate

Co-codamol is paracetamol and codeine combined. - Rhianna

6)   They're entirely different drugs. - vambo number six

7)   some do some dont. codeine is in co-codamol which are a stronger pain killer than paracetamol. ask the chemist before you buy or read the ingredients section on the box. - hyndsie

Paracetamol & usually 30 mg of Codeine as well.

The codeine constipates too, so increase your fibre in diet

Question 3
Fruit of knowledge.. could it be marijuana?...  I've studied drugs for a while, doing them, and watching others do them. I have a theory that being high allows you to consciously pick your sub-conscious apart, which has led me to great self-realizations, as well as realizations about others that I had before been ignorant to. Thoughts on the matter?
To Lesley, That could be considered partially true impart due to the increase in seratonin production making natural seratonin production slow down. It could be because I have adhd but for a while until i smoked weed the world seemed to go by in a flash of colors. I went about actions but never once stopped to ask myself why I did the things that i did, or what for. I'm sure a lot of people have had the same experiences, I'd like to hear about them.

7 minutes ago

And to Planet head, I actually feel the same way, though smoking weed seems to have a deadly outcome of being a mindless burnt out. Not sure if it's worth it in the end, or if its true that once a stoner, you're always a stoner. Then again our speculation of being less mentally fulfilled could be impart due to a change in conscious in which the ability lies there, but the will, or the known action to achieve it does not.
And to Hussain. I think the apple is just a metaphor for drugs.
Trajity, I'm the same way actually, it puts me into a sort of hypnotic state of mind where the world seems as mine, and mine alone, outside factors that normally delude consciousness seem to cease to exist, and my minds work is very observable, and becomes universal.

3)   You know... I think of the times I used to partake in this activity and my thought processes. I have been sober for some time and I feel as if my thinking now is no where near creative, open minded, or freely flowing as it was when I burned. I feel like my thinking was more productive then compared to now. It definitely depends on what other activities one participates in while they are high so...

I eating fruit and vegetable now everyday for two weeks and having bowel movement once per day which is improvement.

But how can I totally detox my digestive system and become healthy so I don't get bowel cancer?
I also eating Yoghurt so I get bacteria in intestine.

Answers
1)   drink water and tea
eat healthy - David Santos

2)   Drink a smoothie everyday, add yogurt and fresh fruits & vegetables. Drink a glass or two each day, more vegetables than fruits. - Seeya

3)   more water is good for that - Jeremy Grota

4)   You can't 'detox' your digestive system - that's just a marketing myth put about by so-called nutritionists.

I'm sure you already know what constitutes a healthy, balanced diet. If you stick to eating one, it helps to keep you healthy but there are no guarantees. - skepticat

5)   Drinking Water:
Drinking Water is instrumental in detoxification. Water flushes toxins and waste from the body and transports nutrients to where they are needed. Try to drink eight to ten glasses of pure water a day.

Baths and Saunas
Water is also useful externally: baths and saunas can help detoxification. Hot water increases blood flow and capillary action near the surface of the skin, causing faster release of toxins. The heat also increases sweating and opens up pores. However, you should make sure that the water in which you bathe is pure. You should also be careful because the hot water and detoxification effect could cause dizziness; if so, don’t try to get up. Many health practitioners recommend having someone in the house when you take a detoxification bath. There are a number of substances you can add to your bath to help the detoxification process.

Eating a Healthy Diet
Eating a healthy diet ensures that you get proper nutrition and also helps the cleansing process. Fresh, raw foods and grains ensure that you get the enzymes necessary to adequately digest your food. Avoid foods that contain additives or are nutritionally bankrupt. Avoid sugar, salt, saturated fats, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. Avoid meat, as animal protein puts a tremendous strain on the digestive system. You should also eat yogurt, as this helps maintain a proper bacterial balance.

Exercise
Exercising stimulates body systems so that metabolic efficiency is stepped up. This, of course, includes the systems that are integral to cleansing, such as the digestive system. It also strengthens the body and the mind.

Stress Management
Practicing stress management is important because stress affects us physically. It weakens the immune system and robs the body of important nutrients. Stress hinders digestion and the cleansing process.

Herbs, Fiber & Supplements
Using herbs, fiber, and supplements can be very important to a cleansing program. Many herbs facilitate the cleansing program and contribute important vitamins and minerals. Fiber "sweeps" the digestive tract clean and quickens the transit time of waste elimination. It absorbs toxins and escorts them out of the body. A probiotic supplement helps balance the good and bad bacteria in the digestive tract.

Fasting
Fasting has been used for centuries to cleanse the body. However, fasting can be harmful and should only be done under the supervision of a health practitioner.
Enemas & Colonic Irrigation
Using enemas and colonic irrigation helps flush toxins out of the colon. Enemas can be self-administered, but colonics should be done under the supervision of a health practitioner.

Preventing toxins from building up in the future should be ongoing. This is easily done by drinking pure water, eating a plant-based diet, exercising, and practicing stress management. Avoid environmental toxins as much as you can. Wear protective clothing or a mask when working with household or workplace toxins. - Gem

Instant cures for a sore throat?

Question 1
Instant cures for a sore throat?...  My throat is killing me. it hurts to breathe, no medicine is working, and I've been drinking cold Nestea Lemon Iced Tea and root beer (which hes help a bit). I want a cure that is easy. No medicine. Thank you soooo much.
-stabstab- DONT JUDGE ME
Wow. Chew cocain? Really? Im 13, why the hell would I have cocain?

Answers
1)   chew cocane leaf - the reaper

2)   whisky - MJ

3)   Seriously? Iced tea and root beer? Those will have a more negative effect than positive, just because of all the excessive sugar in them and lack of anything nourishing.

Drink something hot and more natural. Try warm apple juice (best thing I've ever tried) or honey-lemon tea (second-best thing). - Jon

4)   Iced tea and root beer really makes it worse in the end (you will see after a while). Theraflu is the best thing I have ever used for a sore throat, make sure you get the powder drink mix that you make into a hot tea. Drink hot liquids and gargle warm saltwater. If you have an infection in your throat, definitely do the warm salt water, that will kill the bacteria and heal any infection in there. I get tonsilitis once a year because my mom was to cheap to get my tonsils removed when I was a kid. You can't get them taken out when you are over 16 because it could kill you, weird right? I'm 21 and I guess I have to deal, I love these treatments so try them out! They definitely work! - Tiffany

5)   The best cure i have found for a sore throat is to gargle salt water. take some warm water and disslove alot of salt in it. then use it to gargle with. try not to really swallow any or atleast not much. i have often found this to work wonders. as the main cause of a sore throat is a bacterial infection and salt is an effective antiseptic. so it helps kill all the bacteria causing your sore throat - rocky

6)   haha the first guy said chew cocaine lol

mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 4 squeezed limes, and finish it all, you will be fine, can't believe people don't know this one! 10 points for me ;p - BIG MUSCLES

7)   Hello, I'm a doctor. Use naproxen. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to ----> http://usmdans21.notlong.com/AA3QLxF - Cristabel Yousef

Question 2
help, are there any supplements/vitamins or drugs I can take to gain energy?...  I am exhausted most of the time, I think I get enough sleep but I still feel so tired and I barely do anything but sit around and go on the computer. I am taking a multi vitamin, vitamin C, vitamin D and trying to eat enough protein, but it isn't cutting it. if you've ever used anything to gain energy, what was it?? thank you

Answers
1)   B-12 - greg p

2)   I recommend you to see ----> http://www.all-home-remedies.com
I hope that will resolve your problem, keep using answers.yahoo.com - Steve

3)   If you do nothing other than sitting on the computer, you will feel more tired because your body is too inactive to provide any mental energy, so that's something to think about.

As for vitamins, Vitamin D stimulates your brain to counteract lethargy. Vitamin A is used to actually get the Vitamin D out of the digestive system and into your body. And a lot of the Vitamin Bs can provide a healthy kind of energy as well.

Supplements are good, but getting them from actual fruits and vegetables are even better. Also, try getting more sunlight, as your skin naturally produces Vitamin D using sunlight as energy. - Jon

4)   Hi, if you are by any chance overweight or have a BMI of 29 or above, you can go to a diet doctor and be prescribed Phentermine. I was able to get them prescribed to me weighing at 155. So, you wouldn't have to be considered "medically" overweight to get them. It all depends on what doctor you have. Anyways, these pills give you SUPER energy. I have never cleaned so much in my life. So, if you aren't skinny (unlike me and most Americans) you will benefit in two ways from this pill. You will have lots of energy while losing some weight. I've lost 16 pounds in 2 months without changing anything. So, I definitely recommend these. :) My friend takes those Stacker energy pills. They work for her, but they never did anything for me. - Kim

5)   You could drink energy drinks, but those are horrible for you,and you crash. I would reccomend if you're in your teens about 10 hours a sleep a night at least and hour of physical excersize a day. eat good foods, and limit your screen time. - Derek Secord

2)   mix 2 tablespoons of honey with like 4 squeezed limes, it will do the trick buddy - BIG MUSCLES

3)   Anything cold and high in sugar is going to make you feel worse. Drink something hot and high in vitamins to help. The best thing that ever worked for me was hot apple juice. The next best was lemon-honey tea. - Jon

4)   Gargle with salt water. Tastes terrible but does the trick. - Outside of a Dog...

5)   Food Therapy:
Allicin, the compound that put the pungent odor in garlic, has antibiotic, and anti fungal properties that can heal many types of sore throats, says registered pharmacist Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., professor of nutrition at Pacific Western University in Los Angeles and author of Earl Mindell's Food as Medicine and other books on nutrition.

Take two or more cloves, crushed or whole, at the first sign of a sore throat and continue eating two cloves a day until your symptoms clear up, he says. - BatMan@Alt/Med

Question 4
Marijuana Question. Please Help?...  My friend suffers from extreme pain. She is in her late 40's and has weak lungs. The prescribed medicine she received for her pain do not help her and her doctor will not prescribe her anything else. We live in Illinois so medical marijuana is not an option but she wants to see if it will relieve the pain. Anyways, i was just wondering if the marijuana could help and due to her weak lungs, what would be the best way to use it?

Answers
1)   call ad octors! - Joe Joe

2)   there's a possibility that it might work and hospital make people inhale the weed from a vaporizer so she can do it. - William Andrade

3)   Cannabis has been proven to help with pain relief in many studies. so yes there is a good chance it could help her. and because of her weak lungs there are 3 ways to administer it. one would be to buy a vaporiser and use that, though vaporisers are costly and there is still a chance it can irrate her lungs,
the other way is to bake with it. just use any normal biscuit, cake, muffing etc recipe( biscuits are probably best because of there shelf life) and add cannabis to it. this way will have no affect on her lungs but can be problamatic in getting the dose right( its impossible for her to overdose on cannabis but if she takes to much it could make her feel quite bad) the other thing to note with this is that it will take around 2 hours for her to start to feel an effect off them and the effect will peak at around 4 hours after eating them.
the other method is to crush the cannabis up really fine and then let it soak in al alcoholic beverage for a day or 2. it has to be alcoholic as cannabis has a very low solubility in water. a vodka or rum would be preferable but anything as strong or stronger than wine will also do fine. then to drink a bit of that.

If she is going to ingest it it would be advisabe for her to start off at a very low dose and then slowly work her way up . for biscuits lets say whe should put 0.3g of cannabis per biscuit( a piece about the size of your index finger nail ), then only eat 1/4 of the biscuit. if after 3 hours she isnt feeling anything then eat another 1/4 etc untill she finds a dose that is comfortable to her - rocky

Has anyone had any luck with Electronic cigarettes?

Question 1
Has anyone had any luck with Electronic cigarettes?...  I really want to quit smoking, so Im thinking about getting one and would like to know if anyone has had any luck with them. I would hate to spend all that money and have it not work at all. I am also worried about possible side effects. So any feed back would be Awesome. Thanks for your help :)

Answers
1)   The FDA has come out and said it's a scam. Save your money.

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm173222.htm
http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm225224.htm

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued warning letters to five electronic cigarette distributors for various violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) including unsubstantiated claims and poor manufacturing practices.

Also today, in a letter to the Electronic Cigarette Association, FDA said the agency intends to regulate electronic cigarette and related products in a manner consistent with its mission of protecting the public health. The letter outlines the regulatory pathway for marketing drug products in compliance with the FDCA.

For a drug product to gain FDA approval, a company must demonstrate to the agency that the product is safe and effective for its intended use. The company must also demonstrate that manufacturing methods are adequate to preserve the strength, quality and purity of the product."

I'd avoid - Nitram

2)   Dude, totally not a scam. I used it and I quit. It cuts out the part of the routine where you have to go outside, or relocate to smoke. You just pull it out of your pocket, take a drag our two, and ur good to go. Make sure you get the kind that has nicotine in it though. I suggest this website, it's where I got mine. After like 1 month of this thing i just quit. After 10 years of smoking.
You can order like, a black cigarette with a blue led. Looks sick, there's lots of different colors.
This site also has the best prices

3)   do NOT get them it is a SCAM my step dad got it and u have to like give ur credit card number and they stole over 5,000 dollars out of his checkin accont! - FlorinaKakaPants

4)   Please read this.

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm173222.htm - Seeya

5)   Oh the FDA warning lol. This is quite humourous..oh the dreaded e-cigarette. Let's not mention that a normal cigarettes has 4000 chemicals including at least 60 known carcinogens. That is quite alright to keep smoking apparently. lol - ƦєdAиgєℓ

6)   i have also used these to quite and it worked wonders! it was really helpful and did not have anyone charging my card for more than i agreed to. get it before the silly FDA creates problems (im sure this is simply b/c the big tobacco companies are putting pressure on the FDA as this is the only time they do anything, for special interest groups, lets not forget aspartame is still considered safe in the FDA's mind. clearly they are as dysfunctional as beavis and butthead).

good luck! - J.

Question 2
Is Reiki or acupuncture better for chronic anxiety and phobias?...  I have always been anxious but it's starting to get worse and messing with my daily life. I really want to help this but am very against taking medications. I am hoping someone has experience with either of these practices for treating anxiety. I would be open to any other natural approaches as well.

Answers
1)   I am a Usui reiki master... I don't have any personal experience with acupuncture, but it works along similar lines to reiki, in that it works through blockages in your energy meridians and channels.

I would imagine that both are excellent therapies for working through anxiety, and your choice should be based on which feels the more appropriate for you. Reiki is perhaps more "gentle" and may require more treatments than acupuncture.

I have also suffered greatly from anxiety in the past, and I found that reiki, which induces a great state of calm, was invaluable to me in dealing with those issues. I can definitely vouch for it!

Perhaps try a session of each therapy... whichever feels better to you will be the one that will give you the most benefit... - Bronwen M

2)   Try also chakra and biofeedback - Ginny Jin

3)   Here i s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. It will definitely help you. Have a look. http://usmdans1.notlong.com/AAKRp2R - Ethbun Kmetz

4)   No neither.
You could try this maybe?Its by a medical doctor but it cost money but only $5 so its not expensive.
http://www.teachhealth.com/
http://www.teachhealth.com/chemmess.html - mary k ♥

5)   Deep breathing and meditation are more likely to help than Reiki, which does nothing, or Acupuncture, which is mostly placebo effect. - AKA Inverse Mushroom Cloud

6)   acupuncture by far will be more beneficial and have longer lasting effects. try to find a community clinic if money is a problem as these will allow sliding scales and treatments are usually $25 or so. if your skeptical, the best thing is to try it just once, and you can see for yourself how well it works!! - J.

Question 3
Homeopathic Medicines for Sinusitis?...  How do (1 ) Sticta Pulmonera (2) Ammonium Carbonicum & (3) Lemna Minor act differently on Sinusitis ?

Answers
1)   they don't. Homoeopathic 'treatments' are only water with no content. Try pseudoephedrine - at least it does something - Nitram

2)   In a Homoeopathic Materia Medica try to match your symptoms with the characteristics of each remedy you have mentioned. The one most matching may be your remedy. But I doubt you will be able to match. It requires a Homoeopath to do this. In the first place how did you hit upon these remedies? These are no specifics because in Homoeopathy we don't have one. None out of these remedies may be your indicated remedy but we have a treasure of remedies to select from. It all depends on matching your symptoms - objective and subjective - with the characteristics of the remedy.

Contact a Homoeopath for rapid, gentle and permanent cure. - gamya

3)   Gamya answered this question to a "T". great advise!! - J.

4)   dear, you own should not select the homeopathic medicine for you sinusitis but you must consult some homeopathic doctor because homeopathic medicine is provided/given afthoroughlyghly going through the symptoms. You can sent your whole symptom at the admin@sharefundaz.com or mail at canencure10@gmail.com. - sharefundaz.com

5)   They don't. Nothing in homeopathic preparation can have any biological effect. - Rhianna

6)   They dont.Put your face over steam like this.Or try that Neti Pot thing. - mary k ♥

China, which has repeatedly been caught exporting contaminated products, is a major supplier of raw supplement ingredients. The FDA has yet to inspect a single factory there.

We have identified a dozen supplement ingredients that we think consumers should avoid because of health risks, including cardiovascular, liver, and kidney problems. We found products with those ingredients readily available in store.

Because of inadequate quality control and inspection, supplements contaminated with heavy metals, pesticides, or prescription drugs have been sold to unsuspecting consumers. And FDA rules covering manufacturing quality don’t apply to the companies that supply herbs, vitamins, and other raw ingredients. - Seeya
