i can't swallow pills! what should i do?

Question 1
i can't swallow pills! what should i do?...  ok so i recently had my teeth pulled and i need to take antibiotics to not get an infection. problem is i'm horribly afraid of swallowing pills. like deathly afraid. i understand that it's all in my mind and i could swallow though. i was able to swallow one but when i tried the second i almost choked on another. i tried taking a third and ended up choking on that! what can i do so that i take it without ending up choking. i've seen what others do but i'm terribly afraid to try. i have tried stimulating with food and others but i just can't seem to relax.

Answers
1)   take a deep breathe. i was like this and i ended up trying with advils cause they are smaller and eventually got the hang of it. if you still cant do it talk to your doctor and try to get your antibiotics in a different format. - our battles

2)   Try drinking something (like soda or monster something with flavor so u don't taste the pills & that's carbonated so you don't feel them) before you take the pills and keep drinking while you take them (for me it make me feel like im just drinking really fast. Also try not to think about it and relax as much as possible . I hope i helped some :) - Alyssa Wright

3)   Try inserting them rectally. See if that helps. And don't poop them back out, try to work them back through your intestines into your stomach. - Ed Smith

4)   awwww....well if they are huge, tastes and smells weird...drink orange juice so u can have the taste of OJ in your mouth and then quickly throw it in your mouth and swallow with OJ. Dont leave it in ur mouth too long...the taste makes u feel like throwing it up. do them really fast, that's the trick.

ANOTHER WAY....you can crush them and mix it with water/OJ or whatever you drink that tastes good. and just chug it! - Shorty

5)   you will have to learn someday. Try not to think to hard about swallowing. Tilt your head back and do it as quick as you can. - K.Stokes

6)   Crunch them up and dilute it in water, then drink - the answer

7)   Can you call the pharmacy and ask if there is any problem using a pill grinder and adding the powder to water an taking them? I often do this, except with B Complex which tastes bad as a powder in water but most taste ok. I don't know about antibiotics if you could stand the taste. - ☼☼☼Home Remedies☼☼☼

Question 2
Rubbing dirt into your eyeballs: A good treatment for headaches?...  I've heard a lot of talk lately about how rubbing dirt into your eyes is a good natural treatment for headaches and wanted to know if anyone had tried it and if you would suggest this treatment and anything else I should know about it.

And to all the skeppy trolls who will show up as usual and say something like there's no science to prove it works or something just don't bother answering cause you're fooling no one we all know you're getting paid by the pharmaceutical companies!

Answers
1)   You should know that you can scratch your cornea,cause a serious infection and least of all create a sty that will be very uncomfortable. Whoever told you this was a good idea was just pulling your leg. I am an eye doctor. Please don't put dirt anywhere near your eyes. Take a pain reliever for your headache or see your doctor for a diagnosis if they are that severe. - Cheese

2)   lol, i wish i was paid to answer these !
as for your question, dirt is full of microbes, bacteria and fungi, so expect a high likelihood of contracting an unusual and unpleasant eye infection if you insist on doing this.
headaches are often caused by dehydration, so be sure you drink sufficient water.
btw soda does not count, as it is dehydrating.
good luck. - Chris

3)   Only if you want to be a blind man with an eye infection. - the answer

4)   If you have seen anything on the internet about rubbing dirt into your eyes to cure headaches, it's most likely because trolls use it as a question in places like this... - Tink

5)   no, you may lose your eyesight - Chudeswari S

6)   You would be better off using homeopathic dirt 30C. That way there are no side effects and your body's vital life force will expel the headache naturally. Hey, either way if works its only going to be by placebo... - Gary Y

Question 4
is there a natural home remedy that cures baldness?...  for example, cyanne pepper mixed with olive oil and coconut oil and sage placed directly on the balding areas of the scalp and massaged ? Has that worked for anyone and if so has a substantial amount of hair grown in? and if so how long has it taken?t

Answers
1)   Sad to say, there is no proven cure for baldness, except for some over the counter products that can help delay premature baldness. The cause of baldness is genetic in nature, which means if your parents or your grandparents had the baldness strain in their genes, then its inevitable you inherited it too. Except for some drugs that can cause your hair to fall, like steroids and anti cancer drugs, baldness is inevitably printed in your genes, which means at a certain age, you will see a noticeable pattern of hairloss. But if the saying grass does not grow on a busy street is true, then you can take consolation in it, and, some women find pattern baldness appealing, or so they say. - ruben

2)   There are factors why people go bald it may be age factor, genetic factor, hormonal changes, stress, poor circulation of blood to the , weak hair root, and excess dandruff.

There is no cure for it but can be prevented.

Below are some remedies.

A mixture of equal quantity of fresh amla juice and lime juice when used as a shampoo stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss.

One cup of lettuce and spinach juice taken daily prevents hair loss.

Washing the hair with a paste of cooked black gram dal and fenugreek lengthens the hair. This is very useful hair loss cure.

Mix the powder of shana seeds and a few drops of essential oils such as sesame oil or coconut oil and make a paste. Apply this paste on scalp regularly - Merkeli Woods

3)   Bald or shaved head, also known as alopecia, refers to the abnormal hair loss can be caused by hormonal imbalance. Malnutrition, genetic, disease, psychological stress, mood, endocrine disorders, are receiving cancer treatment may cause baldness.

Diet, attention to work and rest, attention to mood, attention to exercise (accelerated blood circuit) also strengthen the hair outside nursing, such as: nutrition made with film, repair of shampoo, preferably two to three days to wash once. Let hair dry naturally. There is also a method of egg white with one painted in the washed hair, massage a little wash, egg white is a protein that hair is not the lack of human proteins, the body's metabolism is the lack of toughness

Iron supplementation. Body hair loss often often iron deficiency. Iron-rich foods are beans, black beans, eggs, octopus, shrimp, cooked peanuts, spinach, carp, bananas, carrots, potatoes, etc. - Lili Mo

4)   Hair Loss (Propecia) ¤¤¤Home Remedies¤¤¤

Hair loss is often due to fungus and heavy metals, could also be bacterial in origin, or may also be a manganese, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D and/or magnesium deficiency). Take care of these issues to help hair grow back.

INTERNAL:
1. Alkalization: Slowly pour two teaspoons (to two tablespoons) of organic raw apple cider vinegar (ACV) over 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). After it stops fizzing, add one cup of water and drink this two times a day for four to five days a week (on an empty stomach).

2. Oral Borax (sodium tetraborate) (a natural powdered laundry detergent): Mix 1/8 teaspoon (women) to 1/4 teaspoon (men) of borax (also defluoridates the water) to one liter of dechlorinated drinking water a day (e.g. taking half cup to one cup every hour or so) for four to five days a week while the ailment persists.
DO NOT CONFUSE BORAX WITH BORIC ACID!
DO NOT TAKE BORIC ACID IN PLACE OF BORAX!

3. Oral Manganese: Take 25 milligrams of manganese sulfate five days a week for two to three weeks (on an empty stomach). After a few days to two weeks, excess hair loss will stop – if the hair loss was caused by a manganese deficiency.

4. Oral Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate): Take 1,000-2,000 milligrams of vitamin C two times a week for four to five days a week (on an empty stomach).

EXTERNAL:
1. Topical Borax Shampoo: Mix one tablespoon of borax to one liter of water (takes 30 minutes to dissolve, shake well before use) four to five days a week (can be left on overnight).

2. Topical Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Rinse: Rinse with ACV to remove calcium clogging the hair follicle root.

Question 5
Arnica Montana on a calf?...  One of my calves got stepped on and its lag is swolen. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to feed it 30c tablets of Arnica and how many little tablets a day. Any info would be great! Thanks.

Answers
1)   as there has never been any evidence that homeopathy works, it,s probably not worth your effort - Morgson

2)   Firstly you should never give human meds to animals.

However in the case of homeopathic Arnica 30C, it doesn't matter because its only a sugar pill. The 30C means the arnica has been dilluted in water - massively diluted - to the point where not one molecule of the arnica remains in the remedy. One drop of this dilution is then placed on the sugar pill.

30C is a dilution ratio of 10 to the power of 60, and to put that into perspective; to get 1ml of arnica you would need a container the size of 1.2 million cubic light years. I kid you not. Homeopaths babble on about water having a memory, or it's the 'vibrations', of course this is rubbish.

Even if the remedy did have an effect, according to the homeopathic law of like cures like, arnica wouldn't work for a swollen leg anyway. Arnica is a herb that contains helenalin, an anti-inflammatory - so that would not be like cures like, it would not recreate similar symptoms.

See this systematic review where the conclusion reads: "The claim that homeopathic arnica is efficacious beyond a placebo effect is not supported by rigorous clinical trials."

Don't subject your calf to alt med nonsense - take it to a vet. - Gary Y

3)   Put some liniment on his leg and wrap it to reduce the swelling. - oldknowitall

4)   Homeopathy is water, sugar and smoke and mirrors. Take your moo-buddy to a vet and make sure that it doesn't have any internal injuries. Especially if he was stepped on by another cow/bull. They can have no symptoms until it's too late to save them.

Yeah, I might eat a burger on rare occassion, but I'm a sucker for those big brown eyes.

Good Luck - I'll cross my fingers for yer calf.
