5)   really :S
how many people shared 5 bowls?... ahah thats actually quite a bit. My friends and I have been smoking weed for years and we smoke it often and we usually only share two bowls between like 3-4 people and it gets us pretty high. Depends how good the weed is.
Wow I've only woken up high once and it was after eating weed-brownies. are you sure you're high? lol

Question 2
I am suffering from Constipation from the past one year. please suggest a remedy?...  In Sep 09 i took one tablet of Lopamide in the morning and one capsule of the same in the afternoon to stop Loose motions. After that, i am suffering from constipation. On the advise of the doctor i took Dulcolax two tablet to reverse the effect of lopamide. Everty thing was alright for three days and after that i was back to square one. It was only a temporary releif. I am 40 year old male. I eat a banana each in the after noon and one after dinner in the night. Somehow, constipation still persists. Please suggest me a remedy.

Answers
1)   Now go with natural fibre food e.g. salad, vegetables , papaya in fruits and avoid banana for few days till you are cured. Have fresh natural juice a glass or so preferably extracted at home and have plenty of water.Avoid Coffee. hope you will be at your normal self soon. - dev bedi

2)   IF you have no health issues...eat bran and fruit for breakfast, lettuce and other green veges for lunch and dinner. Drink plenty of water...decrease intake of cheese

drink plenty of fluids daily, eat dietary fiber, and exercise.

Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola drinks. These are diuretics, which eliminate water from your body and contribute to dehydration.

hope this helps - FL

3)   Sounds like you could have a gallbladder problem. Light colored stools? Pain after eating oily food? Overweight/easy to gain weight? Sometimes that can cause the difficulty passing bowls. You could be stressed and retaining it, if you don't eat on schedule your body also retains food incase their is another long period in between meals.

Hope this helps! - Die, Dai, Dai-suki

4)   eat high fiber diet, lot of green leafy vegetables, drink lot of water.

apart from that Esobgol will help, it is a ayurvedic laxative preparation.

get well soon. - pearl M

5)   Most cases of constipation respond to conservative treatment such as dietary and lifestyle changes or mild laxatives.


Dietary changes include getting enough of the recommended daily amount of fiber (20 to 35 grams), drinking 64 ounces of water or juice a day, and limiting foods that have little or no fiber, such as ice cream, cheese, meat and processed foods.


Lifestyle changes consist of exercising, reserving enough time to have a bowel movement and having a bowel movement when needed.


Laxatives may be recommended if the above changes did not help the constipation.


There are four types of laxatives - bulk-forming, stimulant, lubricant and saline. Bulk-forming laxatives, such as Metamucil, Citrucel and Serutan increase the volume of feces, making them softer and easier to pass. Stimulant laxatives, such as Correctol, Ex-Lax, Dulcolax, Purge, Feen-A-Mint and Senokot stimulate the intestinal wall to contract. Lubricant laxatives, such as mineral oil, soften the stool so it is easier to pass. Saline laxatives, such as Milk of Magnesia, Citrate of Magnesia and Haley's M-O, increase the concentration of salts within the feces. - Jeniv the Brit

6)   Use Anjeer. You can buy Anjeer slices from any super bazar.Put one Anjeer slice in 1/2 cup luke warm water and leave it for 5-6 hours.Eat this slice and drink the remaining water before sleep. It works. - ALOK S

7)   Some good advice above - definitely increase the amount of fibre and whole grains in your diet. Another thing I would suggest would be to drink at least 1-2 litres of water everyday. Sometimes constipation can result for dehydration.

Best of Luck! - neels12

8)   Yea there is an herbal supplement you can take called triphala. Triphala is a combination of 3 fruits; used for digestive tract and intestinal cleansing. It also has natural laxative properties. They have it here: http://www.naturesformulary.com/Products/56-triphala.aspx - Lindsey M

9)   make a habit of eating high fibre salads and fruits with every meals. it may be carrots, cabbage , spinach ,apples papaya etc. if it does not work then take isabgol powder. it is non habit forming ayurvedic herb. you can try a combination of both ie salads and isabgol.make habit of drinking water in the morning. avoid spicy and heavy foods. - pushpendra j

Question 3
Pills that take away emotions?...  What are these pills called? Is there anyway i can get pills to take away my emotions if i take them, i'm 15 years old and could i get them? Thanks xxx
No, i don't mean anti depressants.

Answers
1)   they are called antidepressants!

grow up and learn to deal with your emotions, when you are older you will realise that 15 was a great age with not much stress and a lot of fun times. mae sure you cherish it! - Ellabombella

2)   Some are called anti-depressants. You need a prescription from the doctor. I don't believe in them. Yes I do think there are some cases of severe depression however the test is an oral one. Not one where the can see it to find it. I think depression is over rated. An excuse to make money and a way to keep people under control. The real fact of it is that humans are not meant to work and serve in an institutionalized system. As they say moderation in all things. I do believe that includes work, employment, schools, etc... Sometimes depression,rage or temper tantrums are caused by environment among many other things such as mental illness. - EloraRain

3)   Being depressed has nothing to do with being immature or needing to grow up. Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and that is something that we have no control over. You should talk to your doctor about the way you're feeling. Sometimes a change in diet and exercise can do wonders with depression, and pills aren't needed. Only a doctor can determine that. - Stacey Brabbin

4)   These people clearly don't know what they're talking about.

Depression is a REAL condition. These people have obviously never suffered from it..

Anyway.. I think you're talking about antidepressants.. And you can just talk to your parents about it and they'll take you to a doctor and the doctor will give you a prescription for them if he/she thinks you need them.. - Michelle

5)   anti-depressants, you need a prescription for them - Noodles

6)   ANTIDEPRESSANTS DO NOT TAKE AWAY EMOTIONS. People really don't know what they are talking about. - Foffion

7)   There's no such thing.
Antidepressants do not remove emotions and have terrible negative/toxic side effects. They have also been proven not to be effective. - thenoseknows

8)   Not really, but as previously mentioned, many psych drugs like thorazine blunt emotions temporarily. You just...don't care. Others simply make you feel BAD.

Snake root/reseperine works similarly, but that can be dangerous, especially if you have low blood pressure or are depression prone.

At 15, you're supposed to be feeling all sorts of obnoxious, possibly horrible feelings. That's biology. Trying to force it otherwise will result in severe mental illness later in life...and not that much later. - Kaviani999

9)   Try counseling.
This is an alternative medicine forum, taking pills is not an alternative form of medicine! Unfortunately, it is the norm. Good luck - Beth

Question 4
What's the quickest way to elevate Vitamin D levels?...  After two years of debilitating widely diffused chronic pain and being confined to a wheelchair, I have finally been diagnosed for Osteomalacia, a disease that is caused by severe long term Vitamin D deficiency. I have also put on a lot of weight, due to non-movement and the vitamin D deficiency.

Two months ago, I was administered an oral dose of Sterogyl 600,000 iu. I was tested two weeks ago, and my level had gone up a little bit to 5 nmol/L. I was then injected with another dose of Sterogyl 600,000 iu.

I live in France, and came to Australia a week ago to spend time with my family.
So far, I've been soaking up the sun for approx 30 mins a day with my arms, legs and face exposed with no sunscreen. I've also been taking 4000 iu of vegetarian vitamin D .

However, going online I've discovered that there are two different types of Vitamin D- D2 and D3...

I'm a little concerned, as it seems that D3 is more effective? The Sterogyl that I was injected with is D2.
I want to get well and out of this wheelchair, and the doctors really don't seem to know alot about Vitamin D!!
I'm begging anyone who has recovered or who knows a bit about the subject, to please help me put me on the right track.
I'm not expecting an overnight miracle, but I would like to be confidant that what I'm doing is the most efficient and prompt method of getting well.

I'm very very motivated and prepared to do whatever it takes to get better. Cod liver oil included!!!

Thankyou so much in advance - at the moment I feel so lost!!!!

Answers
1)   You know there are other reason for osteomalacia. Kidney dysfunction, acidosis, liver problems and phosphate depletion. Make sure they are all normal. The best way to get Vit D is sunlight. You can also take supplements.. D2 and D3 does not have any real biological activity. Those forms must be converted into cholecalciferol the active form in the kidney or liver. That's why those organs must be functioning correctly.You can take Vitamin D supplements as well but remember that it is a fat soluble vitamin which means it is stored and you can get too much of it. Good luck - Lou Russo

2)   You need weight bearing exercise, you need to go to Mayo Clinic Rochester Minnesota. - MrNeutral

3)   It sounds like you may be a vegetarian (^_^). There was a good article about vitamin D in "Natural Health and Vegetarian Life" magazine a couple of issues ago. I've just tried searching their website but didn't have any luck with it. (It is the magazine of the Australian Vegetarian Society.) The first answer here seems very comprehensive. Good luck with regaining your health. - Sheila

4)   Just go any pharmacy and ask, "Vitamin D complex" that's it! - Justin

5)   I'm currently deficient in vitamin D and only have gone from 30 to 40nmol/L in 6 months...trying to get to optimal 200nmol/l. I'm taking D3 (yes this is more effective) in liquid form...i take 5000IU a day. I did a bit more research as to why it's taking forever! to boost my levels and i found there are co factors needed in order to utilize vitamin D properly.

Magnesium (most important), zinc, vitamin K2, boron and vitamin A. I have a few of these deficiencies. Zinc deficiency is an easy test i had done for free at a pharmacy but you may need to buy the zinc sulfate and do the test at home. A zinc deficiency explains why i have to add a LOT of salt to my chicken lol (zinc is essential for maintaining your senses of taste and smell). Check the link about the zinc taste teste >>>http://www.diabetesexplained.com/zinc-diagnostic-test.html

Calcium cannot absorb without vitamin D. Calcium and magnesium work together (magnesium deficiency is one of the causes for vitamin D deficiency) so a good ratio is 2:1 eg: 1000mg of calcium to 500mg of magnesium. An easy home test for hypocalcemia is called the chvostek sign. When the facial nerve is tapped at the angle of the jaw, you will typically see a twitch of the nose or lips >>>

6)   Here's something you may or may not know, Vitamin D is in the blue light spectrum of sunlight, and you can buy a special blue light for your house. This way you won't get burnt and will take in vitamin D in the comfort of your own home.
Try asking in a good health shop where you get one from. I thing they are about $60 though. - Andyboy

7)   Regular vitamin D/D2 is completely useless.
Vitamin D3 is the one you want to take. No studies have established an actual upper limit/toxic dose but it's guessed to be around 50,000iu a day for several months. No one does this in reality.
Vitamin D3 is actually a hormone.
You need to expose at least half your body to the sun for at least 30 minutes to manufacture about 20,000iu of D3.
You would be better off seeing a Naturopath or Homeopath than a regular MD. They get no training in nutrition, and what they know about vitamin deficiencies is very basic old information. They are trained to prescribe drugs. This is why most of them are still prescribing useless D2.
Mercola.com has a wealth of information on vitamin D testing, research studies, etc.
The current recommendation by natural health experts is 5 to 10,000iu of D3 daily as a maintenance dose in winter when people who live north of Atlanta can't manufacture their own D3 from sun exposure because the sun's rays are too weak to be of any benefit. - thenoseknows

8)   The best way to raise your vitamin D levels is by soaking up the sun as you are doing. I would stop taking the vegetarian vitamin D since that is D2. You want D3 which is natural and by taking D2 you are giving yourself a false sense of security. Your blood levels may rise, but it is the D3 that is the key to regaining your health. [1]

"Vitamin D is in a class by itself. Its metabolic product, calcitriol, is actually a secosteroid hormone that is the key that unlocks binding sites on the human genome. The human genome contains more than 2,700 binding sites for calcitriol; those binding sites are near genes involved in virtually every known major disease of humans." [2]

So what would be the best strategy to help raise your vitamin D levels? I would continue to get as much sun as possible and on days when it is not sunny you can use a tanning bed to help. It is important to remember that depending on where you are getting sun might not be enough. You get exposed to more UV-B rays the closer you are to the equator. So you might want to consider taking supplemental vitamin D3 temporarily until you get your blood levels up to optimal levels ( greater than 50 nmol/L.) [3]

I would also recommend that you consider taking additional supplements like a multi-vitamin and a magnesium supplement. I would avoid sources of D2 as it is possible that it may hinder your efforts of achieving a healthy vitamin D level. - Chicago Mike

Question 5
I have a really bad sore throat what can I do to cure it?...  My throat feel terrible, it hurts a lot just by swallowing. Is there a good medicine I can take that can help or anyother helpful tips to ease this pain?

Answers
1)   butter menthols?? - Voldemort

2)   You can buy lozenges that have numbing medicine in them ... I think they go by the name "bradasol" where I live but I'm sure there are other brands that work just as well. In the mean time, teas help so do popsicles. Avoid milk products like ice cream as they make you produce mucous and it will make swallowing worse. - Quixotic²

3)   Take 2 Tylenol/Paracetamol every 4 hours. Get a hot cup of tea (or boiling water) to sip and breathe in the relaxing steam. You can take antiseptic/anesthetic lozenges but they just make me feel weird as well as having a (marginally less sore) sore throat. I found the best things were honey flavor 'Lockets' or a teaspoon of Manuka honey occasionally. - G'hound

4)   idk i find that tylonal works pretty well it like dulls the pain! so take one. then make your self a cup of hhot water with lemon juice( 15mls) and honey ( 15 mls) . it kinda soothes it!

hope you feel better! - ammyy.

5)   try hot tea with honey and a shot of wiskey - Mike

6)   Licorice root will get rid of any sore throat. You can get it in tea or bark, make it into a tea let brew for 5 mins. drink up. Do this every 2 hrs you will immediatly feel a difference and even with the worst throat problems, it will completly go away in 36 hours. DO NOT take this advise if you are a Diabetic. Liccorice root is very sweet. - Yvonnah Jychonaviche

7)   You might want to try ginger tea with just a dash of honey. - Lightspeed21
