Unclog the water in my ear?? :(?

Question 1
Unclog the water in my ear?? :(?...  Okay so yesterday when I got out of the shower I had water in my ear and instead of just shaking it out I rubbed my ear like an idiot and now it's stuck there. I had to go to work yesterday with an annoying clogging feeling and by the time I go home at 1 AM I was too tired to bother with it. I woke up this morning feeling completely deaf in my right ear. I have to be to work in three and a half hours as a waitress with a completely painful & clogged ear. Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to try rubbing alcohol as many say it's painful. Are there any products that I can buy at Walgreens??

Answers
1)   Lean your head to the side and jump up and down. - EugeneCorse

2)   Jump on the bed on the side where the water is if u do it right it should come right out!!! - Mollxx

3)   go to the doctor - Ozeki

4)   ear wax dissolving drops, like otex - barrymnailpolish

5)   try to chew gum! :) works for me btw the defness is only temporary dont worry this may seem weird but take another shower, this worked for me x - Alexandra Nut

6)   No jumping!

there is a very comfortable way. I always do it and it works.

Just put both of your index fingers very calmly on your ears and rest your head toward your ear that's clogged and keep it that way up to three to four minutes and the water will come out by itself. You will feel the water on your index finger.

if you don't understand I might upload a picture for you. Just add in details if you want it. - behroz ahmed ali

7)   I had water clogged in my left ear couple of months ago during my trip in a tiny island in Vanuatu, and my tour guide rushed me into a nearest clinic and had a doctor examined my ear and had his assistant sprayed my left ear with water from injection hole until that exceeded earwax came out. It didn't hurt at all. I know it was sort of traditional but amazing, I can even hear better with my left ear since then.
My best advice is go and see a DOCTOR!!!! don't do any foolish action!! - Eddie

8)   I get that pretty often, water stuck in my ear. So all I do most of the time, is jump on the leg, on the side that your ear feels clogged. At the same time, lean your head towards that side.

Otherwise, it may be an ear infection. I've had a glue ear infection at one stage, which feels like water is clogged in your ear. But that usually happens after a cold, and its when your middle ear is filled with a glue-like fluid i.e. mucus. It also makes it seem like your hearing has decreased especially in that year. I doubt you have it, but if the problem persists, I'd suggest you visit a doctor. And definitely, DON'T fiddle with your ear anymore as it is :) - Crazy Student

Question 3
About anti anxiety pills?...  I'm 16 years old and I have a moderate case of social anxiety caused by low self esteem.
I get anxiety occasionally and it drives me nuts.. I forced myself to work at a restaurant as a waitress to help it but right before my job, I get stressed anxious and sweaty, thinking the worse things are gonna happen like dropping plates, a customer complaining and the list goes on.

It drives me nuts, I absolutely can't stand the feeling of anxiety and just want to relax like normal people. I was thinking of purchasing anti anxiety pills like Prozac but online and without a prescription. My parents do not know about my anxiety and I DO NOT WANT THEM TO KNOW. Don't tell me I should tell them please I know what I'm in and it's too much to explain.

Can someone recommend any pills for me? That will help me relax and stress/anxious/care free? and a good website to buy the pills online, thank you so much.

Answers
1)   No please this can kill you. Do you really want to die? If yes then go buy those pills if no then go to your physician and he will prescribe the correct dosage. These meds have very very harmful side effects and if they aren't taken properly can actually worsen your anxiety.

I'm sure you don't want.

Just tell your parents you aren't feeling well and they will take you to the physician. There you can tell him exactly what the situation is without your parents in the room :) - Lilly

2)   I know you don't want to hear this but please please please don't order pills online. You should make an appointment with a psychiatrist. I know when you are 17 you feel like you can't do that without your parents finding out, but just bring your insurance card. Both me and a best friend have anxiety problems, but we have different kinds, so we are prescribed different pills. You need the specialty of a doctor when it comes to this sort of thing, trust me, self-medication will most likely only lead to problems of dependence on certain drugs, making your anxiety problems worse in the long run.

Also, I'm not sure exactly what your situation is at home, but I also felt guilty when I finally told my parents about my anxiety. Looking back on it, I'm not sure if my guilt was amplified because of my depression or if I felt that I had to be strong for my family, and I didn't want them to think I was too stressed out to listen to their problems. Still, deep deep down your parents would want to know, and telling them will take such a load off, something you need when it comes to anxiety. Please do it, even if you fear their reaction. The longer you put that off, the longer you'll be without help, the more your anxiety will develop. - meghan.noodle

3)   prozac is not an anti-anxiety medicine. I have taken it and it didn't help at all. I recommend Wellbutrin or xanax. have you ever smoked dank before? it can be very calming - rachl0521

4)   Here i s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. It will definitely help you. Have a look. http://cadmedans12.notlong.com/AAY2rg4 - Erika Anecelle

5)   Taking pills/medications for social anxiety may (if at all) provide temporary solution but in the long run, the best choice is to try and reduce it and eventually overcome it by running rational/positive self talks/affirmations everyday through your head (at least once a day preferably at night) and also understand/learn in detail about anxiety and ways to treat it. It can't be cured overnight but if you make efforts in right direction and give it realistic time (time will depend on each individial and other personal factors), you can cure it permanently.

To understand more about anxiety or treat the anxiety, below are few personal top recommendations on books/materials :
1.http://www.socialanxietyinstitute.org/audioseries.html
2.Overcoming social anxiety and shyness - A self help guide using cognitive behavioural techniques (Gillian Butler)
3.The positive power of negative thinking: using defensive pessimism to manage your anxiety and perform at your peak (Norem, Julie K.)

Question 4
I feel really ill after taking a bong hit?...  Ok ive been smoking for about 6months weed that is ( i dont smoke tobacco) recently our group has gone from spliffs to Bongs, Now ive done it twice and both times Ive cothed loads massive head rush getting sweaty and feeling horrible plus not even clearing it, i know im doing it right.. I think it might be a put in 2 much baccy both times.. If i just put in weed do you think it would be much smoother? I had my tonsils and adinoyes out when i was much younger.. just wondering if that means anything?

Answers
1)   It means you should probably stop doing that, genius. - Michelle Sims

2)   Nicotine high + Weed High = shit feeling, either start smoking cigs or start smoking pure skunk / Pot dont use Hash since you have to mix it with tobaco to do hits from the bong ;)

check that the head plastic is not melting .... that whould = plastic high = cancer and shit feeling - Lol Meh

3)   yes it would be smoother with just weed, the nicotine rush could be what's getting you or it could just be a whitey. - Angelacia baybeeeeee

4)   Best thing you can do is to start off small.

Try getting your own bong, and putting in a really small amount. When you can handle that, increase it a little at a time. There is far too much 'macho pressure' around trying to pull huge hits straight away, and it is not only causing you to feel ill, but is also wasting your weed.

I've seen many people who let the thing go out, then re-light and finish it, but if you are using tobacco it will go 'stale' in the chamber, and will taste even worse on the second or third attempt.

I advise you to find an amount that you can clear in one, get used to it, then slowly build it up.

The head rush is the whole point, and is normal. The sweaty/ clammy things is what you want to avoid.

Always have a cold sweet drink alongside, and lots of it- cordial, squash- something you like that you can gulp down to cool your throat.

Don't worry about tonsils and adenoids, they've got nothing to do with it.

Disclaimer- Oh, and by the way, don't do drugs, just say NO! (LOL) - Agony Uncle Andy

5)   That's what tobacco does when your not a smoker, gives you a MASSIVE head rush, especially when smoked out of a bong or pipe and mixed with weed. I'm not a smoker either, unless i feel like mixing some with my weed, and I find that sometimes if I put in too much tobacco, I feel like shit. If you never had this problem with weed mixed with tobacco in joints, it is probably because you're now taking it in a bong hit. When I smoke a spliff with tobacco I get a a bit of a nice head rush. When I take a bong or lung hit of weed with tobacco in it, I get a massive head rush that knocks me on my ass. I suggest taking bong hits without the tobacco. It would be a lot smoother and you wouldn't have that shitty feeling. Plus it tastes a hell of a lot better :P - plushieluvur

Question 3
Is Xanax ever prescribed as a sleep aid?...  Ambien, Sonata, Lunesta, pretty much anything you can name doesn't work for me, but I'm prescribed Xanax and whenever I take it I sleep like a baby. Would any doctor prescribe Xanax as a sleep aid?

Answers
1)   I'm a doctor determined to strive diligently to eliminate the human suffering, heal the

sickness, regardless of any hardships, I'm persistently pursuing the cure.My profession is

specializing on research of the cure methods of headache,migraine,dizziness,insamnia, or

any other symptoms caused by cervical spondylopathy. I have been studying and experimenting

in this field for dozen of years. By my painstaking efforts, I have invented a medicine

which has outstanding curative effect on the symptoms above. And the medicine is truely

approved by all the patients who took my medicine. If you have interests, or want to try

one course of treatment. Please send me a message to email:hebe_laufeitong@yahoo.com.cn ,we

will have further communicaiton. - 刘飞彤

2)   Sometimes for a very short period as it is very addictive.
Have you tried restoril?
Actually there are other (non prescription) things too;
namely melatonin, valerian and l-tryptophan.
in fact there is a pill out that contains all three. - ChiMom

3)   I understand, I sleep walk (unsafely) on Ambian and Sonata. When I take my Xanax I have no problem. You can talk to your doctor, depends on your relationship with him. It is often abused so it's not really likely to be prescribed as a regular sleeping pill. And if you continue being prescribed Xanax for anxiety or panic attacks, take breaks from using it every night because you can build a tolerance. And then your doctor may cut you off if you are needing continually increased dosage or quantity.
I do have another something, I take 1500mg of GNC's GABA (I don't like other brands I've tried). There are other herbs as well but personally haven't had much success with the others I have come across.
There are some other prescriptions too that I have found, not specifically for sleeping but has that effect. Usually other anti-anxiety prescriptions. - AtLarge

4)   That would be in appropriate use for it because of it addiction potential....it really is for short term use like panic attacks.

Have you had a sleep study done? If not I would suggest it. - Tink

I have a sore throat can I workout?...  when i workout its usualy light cardio and more weight lifting.. so can i workout? i only think i have a minor sore throat and dont feel real sick- at least not yet-will i get worse?

Answers
1)   Your immune system goes down during the workout. It would probably get worse, hold off for a day and get some vitamin C - Effy

2)   Your belief that you can be remotely diagnosed by strangers over the internet is probably not a wise one. There is NO WAY for us to predict whether or not your condition will get worse if you work out. If you feel fine except for the throat, then you will PROBABLY not worsen if you work out.

Can i take my naproxen generic 550mg pills and drink alcohol?...  I have a perscription for a generic naproxen pain killer, 550mg, for cramps i get during my period, and I am a young girl so I have relatively no health problems. Can I drink alcohol while taking these pills. I take them every 8 hours, should I skip my pill tonight and drink? or still take it and will it not affect me?
The only problems I have found would be increase in chance of stomach bleeding and uclers, which ive never had problems with that and i dont think i will in the near future.

Just need some advice before i royally screw up!

Answers
1)   hi - Ines

2)   550 mgs of naproxen is not easy on your stomach and liver all by itself. Do yourself a favor and don't combine the two. Either skip the drinking or skip the pill for the evening. - justin

3)   well, with any drug, you should avoid alcohol for various reasons. naprosen shouldnt react with a drink, but there are some things to consider. 1, naprosen builds up in the body, and as an NSAID (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug, like Motrin) and skipping a dose may cause the effects to lessen, therefore slowing the effectiveness of it as a treatment. 2, alcohol interacts differently for each person when they are on a medication.
that being said, it might be a good idea if you do decide to drink, to limit it to a small amount. hope this helps your decision. - Jason

4)   If you go to your local co-op you can find these herbs on the cheap but if your just going to the grocery store look for the following. Chamomile, Valerian, skullcap, passionflower, and hops. Valerian is the strongest and is likely to invoke lucid dreaming and give you a good night sleep. - JaminB

5)   Hi,

If you heat up milk and put some honey in it, it calms you and your stomach too and makes you sleepy...read this...

Infants often go right to sleep after breastfeeding. When an adult enjoys a warm glass of milk they may just be taking an unconscious, nostalgic trip back to this “happy place.” Who doesn’t enjoy a good suckle?

A study published in a recent issue of Neuroendocrinology Letters found that infants go to sleep faster after feedings. While no research has yet examined this phenomenon in adults, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that milk-guzzling grown-ups are unconsciously reminded of an infantile state which causes them to drift off.

So, if you enjoy drinking a little of the white stuff to make you pass out, go right ahead. It may be possible that you have conditioned yourself to the behavior, and drinking it really does help you sleep. There’s probably not much going on chemically—it’s more like a placebo effect. But remember, the only way for a placebo effect to work is if you keep on believing.

Is it better to snort adderall or just eat it?...  

Answers
1)   As much as i am against drugs, my friends say that snorting is just painful and does essentially nothing more. so pop away, sir. - fluffy

2)   That depends. Hnw soon do you want to die? - TheBestDarnDaddy

3)   In my experience with amphetamines you dont really need to snort them to get euphoria. You still get some form of a rush with snorting, and also reach a higher peak plasma concentration. Snorting gets more into the bloodstream when it comes to amphetamine, as the acidic stomach destroys some of the drug. It isnt too painful to snort, and if you have brand name IRs it tastes like candy. If you have extended release eating is the best option, because it is a bitch to crush up those little beads, and if you dont crush the beads it wont work. - Mat

Bismuth subsalicylate occurs as white or nearly white, tasteless, odorless powder and contains about 58% bismuth. It is insoluble in water, glycerin and alcohol, therefore, it is artificial coloring which is responsible for its distinctive pink color. - JP

But don't just do this for this test do it as a lifestyle change because you will always have some sort of a problem where this drug is concerned. What if when you get the job that they want to do a random drug test, then there will be no prep. time like you have had for this test. Pray about it and make an effort just to eliminate the drug altogether. This may not have been what you wanted to hear but this is what you need.

Chick Peas - healthy and contains a type protein that makes you happy
Real powerfood.
Chick peas literally make you happier. They contain an amino acid (that's protein) that just helps you become happier. Like all beans, chick peas are healthy as well.

Beans contain protein B vitamins (folic acid, niacin, pyridoxine and thiamine), vitamin K, and don't have as many calories per serving as lean meat does. The calories beans do have come in the shape of 'complex carbohydrates'. That means the body has to work to degrade them. This is good: getting your body to work is always good. In this case it's good because it means that your sugar level will not just go up and then down, but will go up slowly and stay up on a healthy level longer. Because beans take a long time to digest, they help you lose weight or maintain your figure. Beans contain natural fiber which is good for the digestive system. Human beings can survive off beans and be fine.

I wish you happy and healthy!!! - JP

1)   He is lying. Weed has to be combusted to release the THC. - Yahoo Will Never Silence Me

4)   In order to get high from eating pot you have to go through a whole process and use more than a small bag to even get enough out for a small batch of goodies. Then it can take 2-3 hours before your body can even start to digest it and hit your blood. No he did not get high, but he probably did get sick later. - Kay Lynn

As an Oncologist, I have done a lot of research on the medical implications of marijuana, and eating it is a preferred method for many patients. It doesn't have to be combusted to be effective.

Question 5
What would be the best Sleep Aid?...  I lost my insurance and for the next two months will be without till my new job provides me with benefits. Ambien CR (generic or not) cost 200 without coverage, I can't afford that obviously.

I know nothing I take is going to give me the sleep that Ambien CR did, but I need suggestions. I have lunesta, but that gives me an fowl taste in my mouth that I can't handle. I can't drink water without it tasting like chemicals.

Before anyone asks, my insomnia is caused by depression and I am on antidepressants for that. I can afford everything else because I get samples from my doctor. I can't sleep without Ambien CR- I wake up every 30-60 minutes or I won't sleep for days straight (since I was little). I am not taking it because I had one bad night's sleep once it my life.

Would benadryl and melatonin be a good combination to take? If so how many of each? I have taken up to four benadryl at a time to help me sleep in the past. Or is there something else that you would suggest?
DOHCtor- Thanks lol, but I don't do that. I only take legal drugs.
Mathieu- That would explain why I had such bad sleep the last month. My CR said generic and as far as I knew there wasn't one. I am going to have to complain to the pharmacy about that!!

My doctor is the one who is discontinuing the CR like that. He gave me the Lunesta samples instead because it was all he could do for me. I had told him I already tried it and it didn't work. He basically said oh well and pushed me out the door. (Don't worry looking for a new doc when my insurance kicks in) I am completely out. I took my last one Thursday. I will have to call my doctor and see if he'll be willing to write something up for me that's different without seeing me.

Thank you for your information, it was very helpful!

Answers
1)   Its so funny that you say you only take legal drugs, but in reality, they are WORSE for you than marijauna. it actually makes me laugh.but good luck:) - DOHCtor

2)   I take that Tylenol Simply Sleep. It wont knock me out but it makes me drowsy. I also sometimes take CareOne Nighttime Sleep Aid. Its a generic brand with the same active ingredient. With both I will wake up with like this hangover feeling. Takes a few hours for it to wear off. I couldn't tell you about the Benadryl because I don't know. Be careful taking too many pills. The kidneys, liver and other organs could get damaged if you do it all the time. - Hugo Stigletz

3)   Don't take over-the-counter medication. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not really very effective and it tends to cause a lot of side effects. Most treatment guidelines recommend AGAINST using it, especially for more than a few days. Melatonin is not effective for insomnia, especially due to depression, and it is not approved for any indication. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine treatment guidelines also recommend against any use of Benadryl or melatonin for insomnia.

You really need to call your doctor. And FYI Ambien CR has no generic in the US however regular instant-release Ambien does. Lunesta is also brand name only and expensive. Ambien CR (zolpidem extended-release) should NEVER be abruptly discontinued without talking to your doctor since (rarely) withdrawal symptoms can occur.

If you talk to your doctor he can best give you information but the best option is probably generic Restoril (temazepam). Temazepam has been around for several decades and it is very cheap (in the US 30 capsules typically costs $15 or less). The generic comes in 15 mg and 30 mg capsules. Actually Ambien has never been shown to be any more effective than temazepam although individual results vary. Temazepam is the only benzodiazepine hypnotic with wide use and it is still considered a good first-line hypnotic. Since you have sleep maintenance insomnia (difficulty staying asleep) instant-release Ambien won't be very useful.

The most commonly used other FDA hypnotics include:

Non-benzodiazepine
Sonata (zaleplon)- like regular Ambien it is too short acting and will not help you stay asleep.

Benzodiazepines
Halcion (triazolam)- like regular Ambien it is too short acting and will not help you stay asleep.
Dalmane (flurazepam)- effective for the type of insomnia you have but it tends to cause significant day time sleepiness.
ProSom (estazolam)- probably the second best choice (after temazepam). Effective for sleep maintenance of insomnia but like all benzodiazepine hypnotics except for temazepam it has fallen out of favour in most cases. - Mathieu

4)   I would try stacking Melatonin & Valerian Root. That works for me but only for a couple weeks then my body becomes immune to it. You have to cycle this stuff. GL! - tj

5)   Combination of Meletonin and Valerian Root, and yes a little THC. - Kay Lynn

Question 2
QUESTIONS ABOUT WEED.?...  okay so, im 15, and i smoke about three times a week.
And i thought it was just a good time, and nothin to worry about.
But now i have no motivation what so ever to do anything! To clean, to do homework, to study, to workout. anything! I used to do all those things, and now not so much... I hate it! But i also love smoking. And my mood is changing, i was always a really happy girl but now im more sad and mad. And i am a beotch a lot to people! My mind is going into a state of " i don't give a fuhk"
Is this because of weed?
Is this normal?
ANY WAYS YOU COULD HELP?
what are the effects of weed emotionally and physically?

Answers
1)   You want an answer? GO GET SOME REAL HELP. - Mika Nunayourbisnus

2)   You not giving a "fuhk" has nothing to do with weed, I've smoked waaaaaaay more than you and still have motivation. You're 15...most 15 year olds don't give a sh*t. - RDWHAHB

3)   Sounds like typical teenage moodyness to me. Maybe you need to smoke a different strain of dope. I was generally more productive and emotionally stable when I smoked cannabis sativa every day or two, but cannabis indica strains tended to make me lethargic and apathetic.

Despite decades of government-funded research tainted with a blatant agenda of trying to "prove" marijuana is somehow dangerous, there is still no credible, reproducible evidence that it is causes any long-term harm, physically nor mentally. If you're really concerned about how it might be aggravating the common moodiness associated with being a teen, then stop smoking for just a week. Give your bi-weekly quarter-ounce purchase a miss and find other things to do. Do some pushups and situps instead of hitting the bong. It's not like alcohol or heroin withdrawal, you won't have screaming hallucinations and seizures. - m0dernangel

4)   Yes- it's because of the marijuana. This "I don't care" feeling can actually cause long-term damage if you smoke everyday. Weed is a depressant (over time, not immediately). You should really try to stop smoking, you're noticing these changes in yourself, and you know that you don't want to be "this girl" anymore, right? - Itsjustme

5)   i doubt its got anything to with weed at this stage maybe if you start smoking more - Tyrone Rodgers

6)   You shouldn't smoke weed untill after your brain has finished developing. I think the average human brain stops developing around 16/17 so... yeah you shouldn't be smoking it.

And it probably does have a 'lazy' affect on you, but I think that's just part of being a teenager tbh. - bobbycat

Question 4
Natural sources of vitamin D for deficiency?...  I was recently diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and was also told I needed a prescription. I have never been able to swallow pills and I just end up crying from the pain and from my parents yelling at me, so what would be some good sources of vitamin D? Ones with more vitamin D would obviously be preferable.
I live in Chicago and am outside for at least 20 minutes a day but the real issue is Chicago's cloud cover. I don't get enough staying outside, and yes I do have that much trouble swallowing pills.

Answers
1)   Here are some sites that list foods rich in vitamin D:

http://www.algaecal.com/vitamin-d/vitamin-d-sources.html
http://nutritiondata.self.com/foods-000102000000000000000.html - Fridays

2)   Wow, how big are these pills? I'm vitamin D deficient too and I take NOW Vitamin D, 1,000 I.U. and they're tiny. The best way to get the vitamin D you need is to sit out in the sun for fifteen to twenty minutes per day. Eggs are a natural source of vitamin D. Look into those supplements. You can find them online and they might be much easier to swallow than the prescription you're on. - Jaime

3)   Get out into the sunshine. The body can make its own Vitamin D. Alternatively Vitamin D capsules are fairly small and go down easily. - Jay D

4)   The sun is the best source. Small amounts of vitamin D can also be found in eggs and some fish (e.g. salmon and tuna). Some products like some types of milk have been fortified with vitamin D. These food amounts are usually quite small, though. If you have a severe deficiency, it would be much more practical to just learn how to tolerate pills. This may help you later in life if you ever have to take a medication that doesn't come in another form. Put the pill in your mouth and then take a big drink of water, and swallow like you normally would - pretend the pill isn't there. Don't try to swallow the pills with your parents, since that would probably make you feel stressed. - Cicely

5)   Hi Missy. You received a lot of inaccurate information about Vitamin D.

First, in Chicago, because of the low angle of the sun during winter, your skin cannot make any Vitamin D. Based on medical research done in Boston, you are unlikely to get any Vitamin D production from the sun from Nov. 1st until at least mid-March.

So, your only option is supplementation. Vitamin D pills are very small, but if you are not able to take them, you still have a couple of options. 1) break open the Vitamin D capsule and pour the contents on your food or in your drink, and 2) Cod Liver Oil.

Cod liver oil may be your best option. Take one or more spoonfuls per day (yes it tastes like fish). There is a risk of getting too much Vitamin A from high doses of Cod Liver Oil. However, there are products with low Vitamin A content, from Carlson Labs for example. You should be able to purchase it from a local health food store. Or, you can order from the company. See the link below.

are stem cells being used for joint regeneration yet?...  i need them .

Answers
1)   i dont know - Laura

2)   No stem cells (aside from bone marrow) are being used for any real treatment.

There are "clinics" that perform stem cell therapies by just injecting what they claim are stem cells into patients. Aside from the fact that would never work, just injecting stem cells is likely to cause cancer. - Weise Ente

3)   Actually, Weise is wrong. There are more than one type of stem cell. All the uproar has been about using embryonic stem cells. However, there are now clinics using adult stem cells, harvested from your own body and cultured in the lab, to regenerate cartilage. I actually know someone who has had this done successfully on his knee last year in Melbourne. It is also being used by a few clinics to treat non-union of broken bones (rather than the standard bone graft with growth hormone).

Answers
1)   Go to Homeopathic doctor he will suggest the right remedies. - sweet smile

2)   You have to see a Homeopathic doctor who can determine which remedy(s) you need. Homeopathy does not work on a one size fits all prescription basis like allopathy, it's tailored to the individual patient. - thenoseknows

3)   Out of all the "alternative" treatments out there (herbalism, vibrational therapy, reiki), homeopathy is the LEAST plausible.

In order for it to work, EVERYTHING we know as a species about physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and scientific theory in general would simply be wrong.

Homeopathy does not work; it is nothing but water and/or sugar - Flizbap 2.0

4)   What KIND of tumors are they? Cancer? Benign? Unless your homeopath is capable of performing a biopsy (they are not) and making a tissue diagnosis (they are not) - they and you will not be sure what it is and how to treat it. Unlike thenoseknows suggests - "allopathy" is most definitely NOT a "one size fits all" method of treatment.

Homeopathy - on the other hand - treats everything with pure distilled water - if that's not "one size fits all", I don't know what is. Sometimes distilled pure water isn't the answer - some things need to be CUT OUT. Homeopaths aren't permitted to perform surgery.

Go to a real doctor - not a pretend one. - Joe

give you pills, trust me, the drops will work so fast! It's like in 10 minutes the pain will go down by more than half, I promise! - Woofy HeIps U

5)   No, go and see a doctor. You have two ears and if damaged can't generally be repaired, don't mess about with them, get it treated - Nitram

6)   Most infections tend to be viral and antibiotics don't work on viruses.

If you have had a cold or a sore throat, try an antihistamine (ask pharmacist's advice, some cause drowsiness).
You can get aching ears through fluid building up in the middle ear because it can't drain away as it should
(there's a tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the nose to allow drainage, but if the nose is congested it doesn't open as it should).

Questions about cocaine?...  I wanna try cocaine for the first time tomorrow and I was wondering what exactly is it like?
How long does the high last just from one line?
And what does the come down feel like?
Im doing it with a friend that got a gram so I decided I would just try it. ..please help I don't want stupid answers like 'dont do it' lol thanks

Answers
1)   It's a lot different than what the movies, and everything portray, I remember expecting something "hardcore". lol I suggest starting out with just a line the first time you do it, for maximum fun. lol It will just make you more talkative, and amiable. The numb in your face and throat will only last about 30 minutes, and the comedown with such a small amount is negligible, at most.

Just a tip, I always liked rubbing a little on the inside of my cheeks. Most people like it on their gums though. Good luck, and BE SAFE! :) - KT

2)   Dude your a fag. Stick with weed, or possibly shrooms. Coke can give you a heart attack from the first snort you do, no matter what your anal friend says. It,s not cool with coke, 9 times out of 10 you become addicted from your first time. So go ahead and be a fuck up..i dare you i give you 3 months of it before you are begging for help, dumbass - Jason Myers

3)   I'm not sure I agree with jason myers. Coke is addictive though many people can take it or leave it.
The high from a line can last 30 mins or more. You won't feel it as much as you would from say smoking dope, though it will make you more confident and talkative, possibly too chatty and you may end up being opinionated and overly confident. You will lose your appetite, so make sure that you have healthy food (fruit and veg) before and after your session.

If you smoke, you will probably end up chain-smoking and many people drink alcohol at the same time which can form coca-ethylene, which is bad for the heart.

Cocaine will make your heart work a lot harder, hence many people getting chest pains and ending up in ER.

The come down can make you feel very paranoid and depressed, run down from trashing your body with cigarettes, alcohol and of course coke.

If you do try it, just take a line every hour or so, though you will be tempted to take it as often as you can. The mental effects don't last that long, which is why people end up hoovering up a line every 30 mins or so. However, the cocaine will build up and affect the body for a day or so, so careful if you exercise or exert yourself.

As with all drugs, treat it with great respect, because it can be incredibly damaging (if not lethal) if you over do it.

I don't advocate drugs, though people do them to experience new sensations and because they enjoy them. Don't end up buying it and doing it all the time. If you try it tomorrow, stay off it for a month or two, otherwise you'll end up wanting to do it all the time and may get addicted as well as harming your body.

If you suffer from depression or mental illness, the come down may be quite hard, though obviously it depends on your body, age, gender, etc.

Keep an eye out for your heart rate and keep the lines small to start off with. Two inches long by 1mm wide and 1mm tall is good enough to get you going.

Have fun AND BE CAREFUL AND SENSIBLE. Treat it with respect. If you don't enjoy the sensation, there is no harm in stopping. Only fools continue doing something that they don't want to do.

Well done on asking the questions - best to be informed as to this new experience. Don't be afraid to ask the people you are doing it with. If they are decent people, they'll help you out with any other questions.

Why do some people beleive that not taking any cold medicine when have a cold is best?...  is it true their theory? why then so many people take cough drops and gel caps when have the flu or cold.

how makes you better and why some believe making yourself better without medicine is best? how old is this idea and when became the idea that should take medicine?

also, in which areas of the world is still this way and why?

thanks for your answers!

Answers
1)   Colds & Flu are caused by viruses, which no general medicines have any effect on.

The over-the-counter cough stuff and cold/flu treatments do help relieve the symptoms & make you feel less unwell for a while, even if they don't affect the virus or how infectious you are.

It's a balance between feeling better and not taking excess painkillers to mask the symptoms.

Overall health plays a big part in recovery, someone who is already unwell or not eating properly is going to be worse affected by colds & flu than someone who is generally fit. - Robert J

2)   take some meds for a cold be gone in a week if do not take them it be gone in 7days - misscacazzy

3)   Because there is no cure for the cold. You can only use the medicine to relieve the symptoms (runny nose etc) The virus is in the nose and the nose becomes runny to flush out the virus. So if you take medicine to stop the runny nose you stop the body's natural defence to the cold.

some people would rather take the medicine to feel better, others will rather let nature take it's course.

Medicines have always been used and there is little difference across the world. - pjolloper

kali phosphorcium
ignatia amara.

Answers
1)   Yes it is
***
I could thank Terry J for correcting me on my syntax - at least I didn't forget to start my sentences with lowercase letters instead of capitals

Let me correct my initial answer - 'Yes, you can'

I would like to point out that homoeopathics are neither 'chemicals', nor habit-forming, nor diluted into oblivion - merely diluted beyond Avogadro's number, which I am sure can be checked out on the internet - Leanne Lucas

2)   I don't think Leanne Lucas even read the question, based on her syntax mistake. "yes it is" doesn't fit as an answer to your question. Can you take them? yes you can safely take them, there are no drug interactions involving those plant materials, and benzo withdrawal. Will they work for you? they might not be effective since the benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms are quite powerful and even dangerous, and homeopathic medicine isn't known for its potency, or specifically working for every person who tries it. Most studies will show Homeopathy is no more or less effective than Placebo effect. You should see a physician if possible, to wean you off properly instead of going cold turkey and taking other chemicals instead which, if they're even effective, might be as habit-forming as the drug you're trying to get away from! What I mean is, if the homeopathic remedy really works for you, then you might find that you can't get to sleep without it after substituting the benzos to get to sleep!

I wish you best of luck! - Terry J

3)   of course you can. However the ingredients of a true homeopathic medicine is only sugar and/or water. Take as much as you like, be careful though not to get water toxicity if you overdose on it - Nitram

4)   Oh, yes. There can never be an interaction with true homeopathic "remedies" (i.e preparations that are diluted into an oblivion) as it contains no active ingredients.

But, back to reality; Benzo withdrawal is frankly a bit*ch to manage. Which Benzo are you taking exactly?

Best advise is to see your GP so he can put you on a controlled withdrawal program, or refer you to a community addiction team who can help.

Homeopathy aka nothing, won't help. - Rhianna does Medicine Year 1

5)   It's very unlikely that it has even one molecule of the ingredients listed. You'll be effectively taking just water so unless you're susceptible to the placebo effect, then it'll have no effect whatsoever.

"nor diluted into oblivion - merely diluted beyond Avogadro's number"

Given that the word 'oblivion' means: "the state of being completely forgotten or unknown", then diluting these ingredients beyond Avogadro's Number is effectively diluting them until these ingredients are unknown in the solution, i.e. they are no longer there.

This is an apt and accurate way of describing a homeopathic 'solution'. - dave

6)   Sure you can,
the only thing homeopathy cannot cure is spiritual retardation.

(at least not the retards still wandering around in this category). - SmartAss

7)   Sure you can. Hopefully your remedies were selected by a professional Homeopath. Homeopathy has a lot to offer in terms of help for overcoming withdrawal symptoms and can make your life a whole lot more comfortable.
Homeopathy is a 200 year old system of medicine with over 25,000 volumes of "cured cases" that have been published. It's the second largest system of medicine practised worldwide. Arguments that it's not evidence based are nonsense, and drug company shills should know that 80% of drugs aren't evidence based and unlike homeopathic remedies, they can kill and maim people. The double standard is obvious. - thenoseknows

8)   Yes you can. But the homeopathic remedies will not have any effect on your sleeping pattern, apart from what can be attributed to the placebo effect. - JLI

Question 2
How to pass a drug test!?...  Hey I'm 150 pounds and I smoke maybe 2 or 3 times a week. The last time I smoked was 6 days ago and I think I'll be getting tested within the next few days for my job. How can I make sure I pass? Any help would be great I'm really nervous.

Answers
1)   Not do drugs at all. - Andy Andrews

2)   Well...the easiest way would be not to use drugs.... - Nostrils

3)   Don't do drugs?
I think you're probably in the clear for the smoking it should be out of your system, but just in case drink lots of water - Teagan Johnson

4)   THC is in your blood for a month. The absolute minimum is two weeks - but that's rare.

There is nothing to take that can help - people will advise niacin and other wonderful treatments but they don't work. I can promise you that.

The only things that can affect thc in your blood are metabolism and fat reserves.

Very active, very skinny people can shrug it off in about two weeks. The rest of us about a month, like I said. - Mick

5)   Hmmm really....?
I think the best thing to do is dont do drugs - Osian

6)   a drug test is after all a test to see if one uses drugs or not. if you want to be honest and pass the drug test don't do drugs period. - Winters child

Question 3
Will you sign this petition to help make cannabis legal?...  Cannabis helps those with schizophrenia. I would know, because I have suffered from a mild case far before I started smoking marijuana. In my experience it has helped me become LESS paranoid and not so depressed. I have done a lot of research on cannabis, weighed the pros and cons and have found it to be much less addicting and FAR less harmful than tobacco or alcohol. It has helped me stop smoking cigarettes and I now only drink on rare occasion.

There are many medical uses to cannabis and it does not have to be smoked. If it was made legal then it could be made into an over the counter drug (very much like California's progressive law).

Like any substance that can change chemical production in the body, cannabis can be abused. This should not be a deterrent. It is time to put taboo aside and help individuals enjoy medical usage of this herb. Cannabis is not a cure all and it is not a miracle from God, but it can be used for a greater purpose than underhanded drug deals.

I have honestly seen families torn apart because of the MISUSE of substances in general. That includes prescription pills and occasional alcoholic consumption. Should we make over the counter medication illegal? Of course not. Why should it be different for cannabis?

Medication is necessary for many people to function adequately. To make it illegal would be a gross injustice to many people with mental and physical disabilities. That is why I would not make medication illegal. Alcohol is so ingrained into our culture that it will never become illegal within our lifetime. The subject of legalizing cannabis (pot) has to do with other substances. I call it compare and contrast.

Question 4
Did I take fake ecstasy?...  Hi all:

This morning, I took one hit of ecstasy. I feel good - great, in fact - in the way that I generally feel great on adderall, but I don't think what I paid for was real MDMA. Is there any way of telling? And what does a real "roll" feel like?

Forgive my ignorance, but any help would be appreciated.

Answers
1)   did anything happen, if not then probably not - Partycat Isback

2)   Here is some help....maybe the next ecstasy pill will be laced with a lethal does of poison or a toxic carcinogen that will leave you brain dead...It does happen.... - BATMAN™

3)   It is a great idea to ingest pills that could be absolutely anything, maybe it was corn starch, or blood pressure medication, estrogen, or prozac. Maybe next time it'll be rat poison! Yay illegal drugs! - MacG

4)   You feel energetic, have an all body buzz starting about 45 minutes after taking the pill and ending about three or four hours after that, you want to dance and feel close to anyone you talk to with a total lack of animosity, you also have less inhibitions. Fake E's (or X whatever you call it) usually contain ketamine and will make you want to dance but not really be able to find the rhythm or keep up with it. You do get a comedown after most times on 'E' but the first time I took it there was no serious comedown, the second time (and every subsequent time) I have felt weak and completely the opposite of being on 'E'... Antisocial, tired etc.

EDIT: 'E' is relatively easy and cheap to make, the only time that you get fake 'E' in the UK is if the dealer didn't want to risk a controlled substances charge and so gave you a lower classified drug or a designer drug instead. A friend got picked up with twenty pills, was arrested but when the police tested them they turned out to be (an effective) designer drug which was not illegal. The police gave him them back after a week. People don't put rat poison etc in them because they will end up on murder charges rather than just distribution charges. Some people don't think about the outlandish claims they make on here... No dealer/producer wants to go to jail on a murder charge over some pills that cost £1 each wholesale (buying over 1000 at a time), they don't put poison in them. It is just scaremongering. - The Naked Troll

Question 5
Has anyone heard of or used Turmeric?...  I had bronchitis last year which last for about 3 miserable months. For the past few days I have had the same symptoms and I would like to stop it before it gets worse. I went to the docs but they say that there is not much they can do about it. So now I am looking into natural remedies. The one I have heard a lot about is Turmeric.

If I am on the right track with this stuff, what are some suggestions? Pill form, liquid, etc?
Please, if you have had traditional medical training, don't reply. I have spoken to enough MDs. None of them have helped at all.

Answers
1)   When I was younger I had bronchitis and everyday my mom gave me turmeric mixed with honey, I don't quite remember how much of each but together it was one tablespoon full.
Good Luck and I hope you feel better - Ella jane Boise

2)   No, Turmeric won't help.

Most cases of bronchitis are caused by viral infections. Bacterial infections are a less common cause. It will resolve on it's own.

Seek medical advise if you have trouble breathing, develop chest pains, have a high fever, cough up blood or if your sputum becomes dark and/or symptoms fail to improve

If you have recurring bouts of acute bronchitis (i.e more than 2 episodes in a short space of time) your Doctor will need to refer you.

Edit: Yes, but alt.med can't help either. If it worked, it wouldn't be alternative. - Rhianna does Medicine Year 1

3)   put three tsps of honey to a small plate .and mix it with raw ginger juice and warm it up in the micro for couple of seconds and sprinkle a pinch of black pepper powder and take when you need it. - bandu_abey

4)   My first question would be, why haven't they been able to do much about it?
Do you have a chronic underlying condition that makes you more prone to it?

The evidence on turmeric is that it 'might' be good for certain forms of inflammation - certainly nothing that is going to help with bronchitis. If you want to try an herbal, you could try thyme (warning: it tastes awful) or Osha (not the Occupational Safety Health Administration, but an herb from western America - which is officially my nomination for 'second worst tasting thing on the planet). The former can be found in a tea called "breathing thyme" by traditional medicinals, the latter is quite difficult to find. Those 'might' help - and by might, I mean that I wouldn't bet a ten spot on it, but it probably couldn't hurt.

Also, I would excercise to the extent that you can (so long as you are otherwise reasonably healthy) - it helps your lungs carry things away.

Edit: Hey, have you tried a sauna? So long as your doctor says youre good (it can be stressful to the heart and the lungs) it might be worth trying. Not much different than artificially inducing a fever - which couldn't hurt for a short period. I try to do it every week or so... - Tink

5)   The best way to get to the root of your problem is to see a practitioner of functional medicine. These people are interested in finding out the root causes of your individual symptoms (something a GP wouldn't know how to do) and a proficient one will carry out the appropriate biochemical tests, investigate dietary factors, etc. Certainly in my own practice I find that in a session lasting between two and three hours I can generally achieve an accurate enough assessment to enable me to put a client on the right track. If you try to assemble a list of natural remedies for a named condition this is as unscientific as traditional medicine, which pays no attention to individual differences and hands out the same prescription drugs to everybody.

Turmeric is valuable in a lot of inflammatory conditions but from the information you give I can't tell whether inflammation is a major issue in your case. I occasionally give it to clients to help thin the phlegm. It is best taken in high potency capsule form. However, I would generally expect very high doses of vitamin C and a supplement called NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) to have better results. A number of well conducted clinical trials has established the efficacy of NAC in reducing lung congestion. - Howard C
