Answers
1)   hold your breath for 5-10 minutes - Kevin

2)   Tazo and Yogi brands have lots of sleepytime teas.
Also, Paul Collier's music on youtube has literally helped millions, including myself.
I HIGHLY reccommend it. - Rarity Iorune

3)   Oh, I'm sorry to hear that,but do you sure all the traditional chinese medicine doesn't work? I bet you didn't try these methods.
1. Acupressure for sleep enhancement
2.Herbal tea
3.Sleep massage which you'll get the effects instantly.Body massage can be done in warm room and aromatherapy oils can be used that will help to relax. If you have massage in daytime, you will get a good nighttime sleep.

You can also choose the oil like lavender which has relaxing properties. You can also use self massage like relaxing warm bath, followed by soothing massage of your body and face will leave you relaxed and calm.

Allow your body to cool down before going to sleep and try to incorporate light stretching and slow breathing before going to sleep.

4)   ok if your mother hasnt slept for 3 days then she needs to go to the hospital and stop with this alternative medicine bullshit. - Patrick M

5)   To get sleep you need tryptophan. Unfortunately this is not produced in the body. So our source
is food. Turkey has a good amount of tryptophan but you cannot eat it daily. Besides why kill a
bird for your sleep. So the next best option is, in the evening let your mother take whole wheat
brown bread slices. Smear it with peanut butter. Fill the slices with properly washed and cleaned
tomatoes and cucumber with their skin on. Wash down these sandwitches with grass fed cows
milk, sweetened with organic honey. If she does not like milk, she can skip it. This whole sandwitch
is rich in tryptophan which is converted into melatonin in the brain thus producing sound sleep.
By the time it is ten p.m. assuming she had these sandwitches at 6.p.m. she should be in
snooze-land. Keep up with this regime for atleast one month. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o) - Sudhakar B

6)   Hasn't slept for three days? I think your mom should see a doctor - sounds like there is more to this picture than meets the eye.

Stop with the Chinese medicine - it may be more hindrance than help. - Gary Y

Question 2
Genetically modified food...pros and cons? your opinion about it?...  is it dangerous to the human health and the environment?

Answers
1)   I just took a load in the toilet and you need to get some bleach action on it baby. - Cooltranier13px

2)   yes. like medicine, it's all about population control and profit at the expense of health. - Mr E

3)   genetic modification to foods have allowed third world countries to get food when they regularly couldnt.

genetic modifications have allowed foods to be pest free without the need for harmful pesticides

it has allowed food to have a longer shelf life, it has allowed foods to have more nutrients

there have been no studies that have found any harm with genetically modified foods.

whoever said it was about keeping people sick for population control is a liar and irresponsible. - Patrick M

4)   Isn't it nice to live in a wealthy country with an overweight population, where you have the luxury of even comptemplating such a question?

Actually humans have been genetically modifying foods since we invented agriculture. Now days we are clever enough to do it in a lab, and this is allowing us to create drought, pest and virus resistant foods and could theoretically allow us to produce enough food to feed Third World countries although some infrastructure obstacles remained.

Its a matter of risk versus benefit, and the risks are very low while the benefits are very high.

"Dr Carter said there was no evidence to justify continuing moratoriums on commercial GM planting so long as thorough risk assessments were done.

Opponents say GM products are unnatural, potentially harmful to humans and capable of environmental injury and creating 'superweeds'.

She said the risks of GM plants transferring allergenic proteins to novel foods or creating superweeds were very low.

"If you take a GM plant and a conventional plant, you can't easily create a hybrid that is both strong enough to withstand natural environmental conditions as well as survive all eradication attempts unless you're in the lab," Dr Carter said.

"It's just too difficult."

Asked if it was too early to tell if GM plants were safe, Dr Carter said research that included risk assessments showed no reason for alarm."

5)   Pro:
Increases yields
Cuts down pesticide use
Can provide more nutrients

Basically they offer the hope of feeding a growing population.

Cons:
The business practices of the company that produces most of them are, for lack of a better term, evil

Most of the cons are fictional, often based on incomplete evidence.
For example, when round-up resistant weeds started appearing, people claimed the resistant gene spread. In reality, spraying large amounts of a single herbicide cause the weeds to evolve. - Weise Ente

6)   I'm against them. They don't have a long term safety record, the majority of "the record" is paid for by the company that produces most of them - and that company has a long-term, well-defined history of absolutely unethical behavior. The science coming from other sources would indicate there is reason to be concerned.

We don't know the long term effects of these things in the environments that we plant them in, and the farmers and indigenous peoples would give us reason to believe that we should be concerned as well - the Navajo Nation and the Natives of Chiapas and Columbia for example. GMO's do not create stable local economies for the farmers who plant them, they create dependence on outside corporations and deprive peoples of food sovereignty. A number of countries have told Monsanto to get the hell out for these reasons: Bolivia, and Venezuela being the latest.

Folks might say "oh, but the science says"......yeah, whatever.
I'm not impressed with the hype. I used to spin data as well. - Tink

Question 3
do pharmacists know more than doctors?...  

Answers
1)   Doctors and pharmacists know different things. If you have specific questions about medicines and their interactions, your pharmacist probably knows more than your doctor. - Damocles

2)   About Chemistry and drugs yep they certainly do. Pharmacists knowledge is very specific. Doctors knowledge tends to be very general and covers a much wider range than what a pharmacist would cover.
Pharmacists usually have a decent knowledge of physiology and systems but know virtually nothing about anatomy. - Dr_ Lightning_Osteopath

3)   i wouldn't say more, more like equal amounts but on different topics. - I Say Jump You Say How High

4)   About what? Doctors are trained to diagnose a patients ailments and to prescribe therapy and medicine to treat what ails them. Pharmacists are trained to understand how medications work to treat conditions, and very specific information about each drug to help patients effectively and safely use their medication. Both professions share a great amount of the same knowledge, just more fine turned to their role in healthcare. - lynn25

5)   Yes. - Psychobenzaprine

Question 4
Why do doctors say there's no cure for IBS?...  also do I have IBS I get bloated and gas everytime after I eat I have diareah and nausea every morning and it doesn't matter what I eat it'll also get me bloated and gas. I've tied an antibacteria and it didn't help

Answers
1)   They say it because there is no cure. Pretty easy. - John M

2)   truth is, that statement applies to most everything, it's just that sometimes it's so obvious they actually admit it. see an hio method upper cervical specific chiropractor. - Mr E

3)   Because there's no cure for IBS.

(And no, having some homopathic osteoquack fiddle with your cervix won't change this.) - Psychobenzaprine

4)   Are you positive it's IBS? IBS is a diagnoses when the Dr can't find another problem. It's a very general diagnoses.

My daughter was diagnosed with IBS when she was about 12. She'd get stomach cramps, bloating and diarrhea. Didn't matter what she ate. She could have Caesar salad one day and be fine. The next day she'd have Caesar salad and it would go through her in 15 minutes. She knew where every bathroom in town was. She was tested for allergies, celiac and lactose intolerance.

About a year ago she went to see the Internist for another problem. When he found out about her IBS, he said he wanted to try her on a drug called Colestid. He thought maybe her liver produced too much bile. The problem usually occurs in people that have had their gallbladder removed. However, my daughter still has her gallbladder, and he did say not everyone is missing their gallbladder.

She has a drink of juice every morning with the medication mixed in. The first day, no diarrhea. In fact in 1 year she hasn't had the runs once, except when she's missed taking the medication.

My daughter suffered with this for 17 years, because the Dr's said she had IBS. Which she clearly did not. - mstess
